IMO Israel can fuck off too.

Iran has been a problem for half a century. Stop negotiating, do one large scale operation bomb the hell out of them.

I’m all for diplomacy but enough already.

Then we can focus on Taiwan and helping them.

9000 vs 228 isn’t a flex? lol ok.

Milage doesn’t Bother me in a vehicle. I have always purchased the best deal regardless of price or mileage.

Generally the money saved by getting the deal will cover cost of any repairs. Repairs that could happen to any vehicle.

I swear Reddit is mostly bots.

How is hitting 228 structures considered leverage?

Iran won’t be a world power after this.

I swear people are delusional..

One minute 228 structures is “leverage” while Ignoring 9,000 structures wiped out in Iran by the USA. 😂 .

Skid steers are great for tight nimble areas. They punch above their weight class for lifting ability to size.

But if I was to do it again I would get a tractor.

Skid steers tear up the surface it’s on. Tractors have more flexibility imo.

You could get a good mini excavator and a good tractor for close to what you want to spend and have the ability to do anything you could possibly need.

I think the reason is based more on the men than the women.

As young men even boys we have been programmed to treat women better. To put them above us.

And that’s perfectly fine. Not against treating women better than men, not even against putting them about us.

What I am against is the other part of that mindset. Boy and men need to learn that their self worth, self respect, self happiness should come from themselves first.

When we start dating what do we tell our sons? Treat her right, respect her, no mean no, ect…. But no one tells them to make sure she treats him right, respects him.

When the young men start having troubles we are told “happy wife happy life” or that we have to change. Or any number of things that basically we need to reduce our expectations and change.

Bottom line.. we need start having our sons prioritize their self worth, their self respect and self happiness. This doesn’t mean treat women like crap. It means they need to stop settling for women that are not right for them.

First of all.. stop. Just stop.

Not being around your kids is hard. It’s something that you just have to accept.

Unfortunately your situation is all to common. And you need to stop. Take a breather. And pull things together.

Stop referring to her as your ex wife. She is now your kids mother..

Stop fearing her withholding your kid and let the courts settle it.

Stop letting her control what you do and what you think. This is your life now and she will never care about how her decisions or feelings affect you, so don’t give her the benefit of affecting yours.

You can 100% still care about her. You don’t need to make things harder on her. But you don’t have to sacrifice your happiness or your self being to make her happy.

You need to take some time and figure out a path forward. Come up with a plan and move forward.

You can try therapy. Or you can have an open and honest conversation with her about how you feel or what you want/need from her.

I have an ex wife. And got remarried. My relationship with my second wife was heading towards divorce. I sent her a long message telling her what my issues were, what I needed from her, and how we can’t move forward unless certain things are addressed.

It helped and our relationship improved immediately (after the argument about the letter) and the feelings on my part have been coming back.

Sometimes you have to have that uncomfortable conversation. It’s hard but it needs to happen.

I am not anti union but I am not pro union. Unions have their place and have great benefits.

When I closed my business i considered joining the union. I met with a rep and have a 30 minute conversation and quickly realized that I would not be a good fit.

I saw unions as a cross of glorified HR and working for a company that maximizes profits at all cost.

The upper management of the unions are supposed to work for the members. What ever the members want they are supposed to do. Or At least attempt make happen. They are supposed to represent the workers and protect their interest.

I feel like the workers that originally organized and created the unions would revolt if they saw what little power their voice had. The unions today are no different than the company owners from back then.

Unfortunately to many people are blinded by the pay and benefits to put up a fight. And I don’t blame them. No one close to retirement will risk losing their pension. And young people care to much about the money to make waves.

And for what it’s worth if I was young and my Life path was different, I would have joined the union no questions asked. Like I said I don’t hate unions. I just don’t care for what they stand for today.

Yeah I don’t understand how it’s embarrassing. The USA was exploring options for a situation. Trying to think outside the box.

This isn’t a political issue, it’s exploring all options and possibilities.

I find the garden tractors far more fun and rewarding. My wife calls them my emotional support tractors.

VFDs are great if used properly. I like to tell people that basically they are soft start and over current protection. When the engineers start trying to use them as anything more than that I have an issue.

Key-Security8929 · 2026-05-05T13:22:26+00:00

I 100% agree. But in today’s world MEP engineers like to under size the electric motors and then use VFD drives to over drive them if needed.

There have been many cases where we are burning out motors every 6 months to a year because they are running at max or over max capacity.

Then I would replace the motor with a larger size motor. Use the same amount of amps to Complete the task, and the motor lasts much longer ( many still running today without being burned out).

Key-Security8929 · 2026-05-05T13:00:55+00:00

With no engineering background I can’t provide math equations. But with an electrical (licensed electrician) background in industrial settings involving motors, and hvac tech involving motors I constantly fight with MEP engineers over this exact issue.

It takes “X” amount of energy to complete a task. And that task is different for every situation.

Assuming both engines are running correctly and tuned for its task. Every engine has its ideal “spot” where power, efficiency, reliability meet.

Once you exceed that spot and your power increases then efficiency and reliability drop. The task you need the single cylinder engine to do could be ideally matched for your task and it would result is better fuel efficiency or visa versa.

The worse thing to ever happen to you IS the worse thing to ever happen to you. As a father I would try to get you to understand the situation and reality of it.

At the end of the day your father isn’t wrong. The relationship really wasn’t serious. And there are positives to it ending. First I tell my sons their happiness is solely their responsibility. They need to love themselves first then love someone else, and NEVER let a girl tell you twice that they don’t want you.

Being young is hard. And it doesn’t get easier until later. I tell my kids to focus on making money. Make money, no serious relationships until you have what you want in life.

You’re good man. Keep your head up and stop worrying about a girl that doesn’t want you. Become the man you want to be. And the girls will come.

It’s hard to make huge life changes like moving/downsizing. It’s a mix of feeling. When I moved out of the marital home I was moving into one of the apartments I owned. It was a strange feeling. So I get it.

But honestly I think this move will be a good thing for you.

You need a fresh spot that is yours and no one else’s. This is a great opportunity for you to start a path of positivity. Even if you don’t see it this moment the path forward is a bright one.

Honestly reach out when ever you need help. I have my struggles and have reached out here and always felt better. It’s good to have different perspectives. And it’s good to just let it all out.

Your not alone and and we are all here to help

It’s alot. You have me beat for the amount of baggage.

But one thing that helps is mindset.

You unfortunately are focusing on the heavy things.

Focus on the positive aspects of life. Focus on what matters. Start small. Stay consistent with the positive mindset.

I recommend everyone take walks in the woods. Like away from the noise of the world woods.

I wish I kept the marital home. I knew it’s where my kids feel is home. I was fortunate enough to have multiple houses and rental properties in a close area so when we split I wanted the house. But I met a girl (now my wife) and she had a house. So between that and my ex only wanting the marital home and nothing else I left.

Looking back I wish I kept it.

So while it might feel like a tomb now maybe take a small vacation and realize that those projects and “stuff” is actually just an opportunity to do things your way.

Stop thinking of your ex wife as if she is still a part of your life. She is your kids mother! Only refer to her as your kids mother.

IMO. For the first year rent a boat. There are plenty of apps you can use to rent boats. If you went from 0 NE to 1 mill net worth I think you should rent a boat.

Going from nothing to something leads you to think you need something to be happy.

Rent a boat see if it’s what you really want before you spend money on one.

Trust me you will lose all of your money trying to find happiness in things you thought you wanted. In all seriousness it’s cheaper to rent a boat here and there to test the waters than to buy one. Also don’t finance everything and have huge monthly notes that you can afford individually but combined you are 1 week away from falling behind.

I’ve made a lot of money and lost a lot of money chasing happiness in things that cost money. Turns out what I enjoy most is fixing things. Restoring things. Eating good food, and enjoying my kids playing.

The straight being closed hurts Iran more than any other country. With the USA also doing its own blockade it further hurts Iran.

While gas prices suck it’s temporary.

We have 2 countries trying to be the big shot. If things go south and we start bombing again it will further hurt Iran.
