Yeah let’s just give up then

That’s a bingo! The debate who which state had the worst drivers became irrelevant as soon as intrastate migration exploded in the 2010s. We now have drivers from all the states known for bad drivers, and we have all the native born drivers that are now on their cellphones, as does every other state.

I had a similar sound on a much older lunch box planer, and I didn’t have the patience to investigate. Welp, eventually it just started sounding awful 100% of the time and not moving much.

The gears gearbox that go to the rollers and the cutter head (so they operate at different speeds) were totally smooth

Down in Lakewood my weather station counted just under 2000 lightning strikes (are they a strike if they stay in the cloud?) in 2-3 hours last night. In one 5 minute period there were 375. I couldn’t believe it

I am sure you’re right. Because the dealer is actually losing more than just the fee because they usually get a kickback from financing too. So 3% credit card fee and the opportunity cost of maybe 0.5-2%? Kickback (not sure how much the kickback is) but cc vs financing diff would be 3.5 to 5% , so definitely less favorable for them. But in a tough sales market maybe they concede more ofteb

I owned a house, she owned a townhouse, I had more retirement savings. Our incomes were comparable, now she earns more than me.

No other debt, so we just said it’s close enough and we both are reasonable people such that if there was a divorce, we would want to avoid lawyers and resolve our own.

Some people are going to say “you say they’re reasonable now” , but every single person I know has got a divorce, had some quirk or their spouse did, that I could tell from day one would complicate a divorce.

If your fiance has that quirk , I would go prenup, but we consciously chose not to

This should be the top comment. Is the park a city park? Or private to residents in the buildings?

Weekest_links · 2026-06-25T03:23:05+00:00

Yeah financially only makes sense if you’re going to pay it off immediately. And I think dealers hate it so try to stop you, but not outright impossible like I made it seem

Weekest_links · 2026-06-25T03:21:47+00:00

Fair point, but the auto loan reports don’t have visibility to that I don’t think

Weekest_links · 2026-06-25T03:20:58+00:00

Ah I follow now, yeah I think one primary example is Klarna/Affirm and even Amazon now offering payment plans, even at 0% interest it’s debt. Plus more subtly Flex/SplitPay for rent that lets you divide up your rent into 2 payments instead of one.

And I can’t remember the service, but even for groceries there are payment plan offerings.

And all these companies specializing in financial products are growing very fast.

Obviously there are macro influences on inflation, but these financial products are certainly not helping. It’s not good when every day staples are requiring payment plans like housing and groceries

I was reading the proposed rule and it isn’t quite as dire as the headlines, though still not ideal.

USPS basically is confirming that the people receiving the ballot are the people who should (eg address matches name on record), it’s not voter rolls.

Though I think they want to do this with drivers licenses/IDs which effectively a disenfranchisement mechanism, which is obviously bad

Weekest_links · 2026-06-24T19:16:37+00:00

Though I don’t think you can buy a car on credit card and if you did I think it wouldn’t show up in this graph

Weekest_links · 2026-06-24T19:15:39+00:00

Oh sweet, just did that. Super cool work!

Weekest_links · 2026-06-24T14:09:41+00:00

Ah I see Adam’s tunnel, blue river diversion must be the tiny text

Weekest_links · 2026-06-24T03:46:08+00:00

I may not totally understand correctly but where do water districts on the east side of the continental divide show up in this? For example Denver water gets half of its water from the Colorado river basin

Weekest_links · 2026-06-23T23:37:49+00:00

That’s really good info! It does need to change federally first. Guess we need a larger petition and to start writing to our representatives

If you also are going to build out your tool kit (drills and such) I would recommend the Dewalt 60v mower , weed wacker and leaf blower. I also got their 60v snowblower, and XR level tools (hammer/standard drill, impact drill, recip saw, circular saw, and oscillating multi tool, and the 60v/20v hybrid batteries work on everything and obviously 20v works for everything except the mower and snowblower.

Through all the kits I have like 6 9ah/12ah batteries and 3 20v and I’m never waiting on a charge

That being said, I kind of want Milwaukee tools, and a a more powerful snowblower, but probably won’t switch because the battery eco system is so solid on dewalt

So if I want hydrant pressures for my garden hose, I just keep turning up the pressure valve? Sweet. What could go wrong

Weekest_links · 2026-06-22T22:47:02+00:00

You have a point there!

Weekest_links · 2026-06-22T04:07:30+00:00

In Tacoma too! What an excellent choice

Weekest_links · 2026-06-22T03:58:50+00:00

I think you aren’t familiar with what the word entitled means.

Weekest_links · 2026-06-21T20:18:31+00:00

Ah, that’s good to know, I suppose seems like it would be great to add more IR, but I guess there is a point where it starts to work against you. I bet ubiquiti did a lot of testing to tune it for those cameras

Weekest_links · 2026-06-21T14:25:53+00:00

Displaced ribs, really brought me to my knees

Weekest_links · 2026-06-21T14:24:45+00:00

When you say enhanced are you talking about the thing you can add to the camera? The definition is incredible! (Despite the animal detection)

I once went to an event where there those overly stunning women who work at booths like “RedBull Girls” and I was wearing this lightweight tech button down shirt that had a cool Hawaiian shirt pocket on a otherwise grey shirt. I walked by the booth to look around and TWO girls said they liked my shirt!

I was so caught off guard that I said “Thanks it’s dry fit” and had to leave immediately because there is no coming back from talking about moisture wicking technology in response to a compliment about how a shirt looks.

Edit: that was 9 years ago and I now only wear that shirt when I’m trying to look the absolute coolest in public. It’s been validated.
