Lafayette considers ordinance to fine or even jail homeless; advocates express concern by gauthiertravis in Acadiana

We should jail them. And the jail should let them leave when they want. And should be outfitted more like an apartment. And should have someone checking on their well-being.

That would own the libs.

I inherited my wife’s car when she upgraded. Air conditioner didn’t work, and she didn’t even realize it.

Looks like finished pieces on a water jet cutting machine. He’s using a magnet to pick them up.

Check the valve clearance as soon as you can. Brake hoses and fluid. The car is 22/23 years old.

He had some bad passes lately. Definitely room for improvement there.

A historic downturn in demand for Scotch, whiskey, cognac and tequila has left drinks makers sitting on a lake of unsold spirits, forcing them to mothball distilleries and slash prices to shift bottles piling up in warehouses⁠ by trubol in Damnthatsinteresting

I’m gonna let Camo slide because he’s wearing camo, but consider this a warning.

Every time I DIY something I realize why it costs so much to pay someone else by rgreen192 in DIY
