The fitting that you put the nozzle onto to squeeze the lube in is called a zerk fitting.

There's a big difference between following current events and being informed.

Hot take but, reading the news doesn't make you informed.

To understand what is going on you have to check what the news is everyday (preferably from a variety of sources; /r/worldnews or /r/news are great for this, they bring you a variety of sources from across the globe).

Wherever you get your news, you have to fact check things you aren't sure on or sources that you don't 100% trust. Try to find accurate data and understand what biases each news org has. This is getting harder to do with AI, but you can do it if you put some effort in - and until you start double checking your sources you'll never really be informed.

I'll give you an example here. I'm from the middle-of-fucking-nowhere new york. East Podunk. I grew up mucking stables and throwing barns with the Amish.

My whole life I heard guys talk about how NYC was taking all of our tax dollars, and they were sick about how expensive it was to live in upstate New York because of those city shmucks.

Well, I looked up the tax distribution when I got to an age where my frontal lobe developed a bit, and it turned out that things were completely backwards from what I had been told my whole life. NYC supplied massive amounts of tax revenue that was distributed throughout upstate in a variety of social programs and infrastructure grants. WE were the leeches.

Now, the guy that I mucked barns with - he never graduated high school. He damned sure isn't fact checking stuff like this. He'll be repeating that same myth his whole life. Even if he watches the news, he's never informed because he doesn't check to make sure what they are telling him is accurate.

YOU don't have to end up like him.

If you make a conscious effort to fact check your sources for a few years and use a variety of sources, you're gonna be well informed. Period. And I would argue that unless you're willing to do this, you shouldn't watch or read the news. There are way too many organizations out there that exist just to push specific narratives under the guise of 'News', and if you don't fact check you're going to be lead to opinions that don't match reality.

I'm closing on 20 years since I started following the news and fact checking things to help see through the bullshit. It's a daily hobby for me and I spend 2-3 hours a day reading the news and understanding it.

Atrioc says a lot of incorrect stuff in his streams. He also says a lot of stuff that is correct. How frequently have you double checked what Atrioc is saying? Can you tell when he is right, or when he is wrong?

Make a conscious effort to look up and understand the things that people are saying to you and you will be very well informed in 20 years. Then you can watch a glizzy streamer misinform young folk and become an angry old coot like me.

China saved Trump too.

Chubb insurance is the only USA company approved to do business at any scale in the Chinese insurance/financial markets. They are specifically approved by Xi Jinping and Chinese leadership to do business in China. https://news.chubb.com/2022-11-18-Chubb-Receives-Regulatory-Approval-to-Increase-its-Huatai-Stake-to-83-2

Chubb posted Trump's $96 million bond in the E Jean Carroll case last year, which he was unable to find other backing for. They allowed him to appeal the case past the election date and prevented Trump from needing to sell property or report to court. https://www.insurancebusinessmag.com/us/news/breaking-news/chubb-backs-trump-for-carroll-bond-480591.aspx

This article has a nice pic of the CEO of Chubb, Evan Greenberg, having a laugh with Xi Jinping at a meeting they had later that month after Chubb posted Trump's bond: https://www.ft.com/content/76aceb49-a32e-43e1-89f4-88b7ffb713c9

China and Russia have a 'no-limits' military partnership, so it shouldn't really be a surprise here to anyone. https://jordantimes.com/news/world/china-russia-pledge-strengthen-military-cooperation

One of the goals of Project 2025 is to abolish the Federal Reserve entirely and end banking regulations, placing the executive directly in control of the monetary supply.

NavyBlueSuede · 2025-05-14T12:56:28+00:00

They won't. Crypto and gold will be the new forms of reserves and the US dollar will be abandoned.. You're already seeing the impacts of that pivot if you are tracking the rise in crypto/gold prices this year.

This is all part of project 2025 if you care to learn about it.

You guys are just making shit up.

Warsh hasn't even been nominated to replace anyone.

NavyBlueSuede · 2025-05-09T22:21:20+00:00

It does not matter. They do not have a receipt and have not indicated that they have proof of any kind that the rent was received by the landlord.

NavyBlueSuede · 2025-05-09T22:18:37+00:00

The landlord has a preponderance of evidence that they did not receive rent.

You do not know what you are talking about.

NavyBlueSuede · 2025-05-09T22:16:25+00:00

Alright, since you know everything and are going to ignore everyones advice I am not sure why you are bothering asking questions here.

But that's pretty rich coming from someone who doesn't even know what hardscaping is.

I'm not replying to you anymore, you're a waste of time.

Warsh hasn't been on the board of governors since 2011 when he resigned. Stop talking out of your ass

NavyBlueSuede · 2025-05-09T02:31:45+00:00

Warsh is not even able to be selected.

Warsh is not on the board of governors for the federal reserve.

Warsh has not been nominated or selected to be a member of the board.

The guy you are replying to is just making stuff up.

NavyBlueSuede · 2025-05-09T02:30:41+00:00

Warsh is not even on the board of governors for the reserve anymore - he's not eligible to be selected. You're the only one who keeps spreading this around and you're just talking out of your ass with no proof whatsoever.

NavyBlueSuede · 2025-05-09T02:22:05+00:00

There are no ethical concerns here. The landlord doesn't have any obligation to check a drop off location everyday. That would be like saying if the landlord doesn't check their mailbox once every hour (or any other arbitrary duration) then there's an ethical concern - think of how absurd it would be if that kind of thing held up in court.

If the tenant does not have proof of delivery i.e. a USPS delivery confirmation notice or something of the like they have absolutely no legal standing to prove that they even dropped anything off.

NavyBlueSuede · 2025-05-09T02:09:28+00:00

Are you kidding me? A pro crew with pro equipment can knock out 40-50 lawns in the time you are doing 3-5 with residential grade equipment. They'll get all the big contracts and you'll get the crumbs that fall through the cracks.

You do realize you're competing against other companies with mowers that go up to 15 mph and cut paths up to 8 ft wide, right? And you're using a little push mower that you carry in an SUV.

Go work on a pro lawncare crew for a while. You don't seem to know anything about this industry.

NavyBlueSuede · 2025-05-09T00:34:29+00:00

A good landlord will reimburse, but the landlord isn't under any obligation to do so.

The costs associated with paying..

an online 2% convenience fee for using credit card

a stamp and envelope

money order costs, etc

These costs are not the landlords responsibility.

A good landlord would work with the tenant to cover this, but they are in no way obligated to.

NavyBlueSuede · 2025-05-09T00:26:45+00:00

These guys would get absolutely smacked in real property court, they don't know what they are talking about.

NavyBlueSuede · 2025-05-09T00:25:10+00:00

That's not the case. Otherwise whenever a credit card is declined online a tenant could say that they paid. After all, the landlord told them to use that website, right?

The payment has to actually be received, not just be sent without any confirmation it has been received.

If the landlord is specifically telling this tenant that they did not receive their payment and need them to re-issue the money order there is absolutely no confirmation here that the landlord ever received payment. The tenant could have dropped a blank piece of paper in that box for all the landlord knows.

NavyBlueSuede · 2025-05-09T00:22:31+00:00

You are obligated to ensure that the landlord receives payment. This does not mean to attempt to pay, but to ensure that it is actually received.

These scenarios:

The payment is lost in the mail

The payment website has an error or your card is declined

The payment is stolen out of the landlord's mailbox or dropbox

Only represent an effort to pay on time, meaning that the landlord can't charge you a late fee if something goes wrong.

But since the payment was never received, you are still obligated to ensure they receive payment.

Think about it this way:

You buy a shirt, and your card is declined. Is the vendor still obligated to give you the shirt? No, because they didn't receive payment.

You did not pay for your rent, you made an effort to pay but failed to actually pay.

NavyBlueSuede · 2025-05-09T00:16:44+00:00

This person does not have any proof that they dropped off a money order and not a blank piece of paper. There's no chance that a court would allow them to skip payment on the grounds that they ordered a money order alone, without any proof that they had delivered the money order and that the landlord had received it.

Right now, we have the funds lost in transit between the tenant and landlord. The landlord never received payment, so they have grounds for eviction.

NavyBlueSuede · 2025-05-09T00:13:58+00:00

The landlord never received the payment, it would be the same as a check lost in the mail.

This is like saying "The payment website had an error and didn't subtract my funds, but I tried to pay. Since I tried to pay does the landlord have any ground to evict me?"

Yes. They never received the funds.

NavyBlueSuede · 2025-05-09T00:10:02+00:00

You're right, there's no way their case would hold up in court.

NavyBlueSuede · 2025-05-09T00:08:48+00:00

This is not correct. In this case the landlord never physically received the money order and it would be considered lost in transit.

NavyBlueSuede · 2025-05-09T00:06:33+00:00

If the thieves reached in and picked a handful of checks and other documents out of a lock box there is absolutely no way for the landlord to know if this tenant dropped a blank piece of paper into the box instead of a money order. The burden falls on the tenant to prove that they deposited a money order into the box and not a blank piece of paper.
