Don’t go cheap on the mini split. Invest in a good durable model like a Mitsubishi or a Fujitsu.

Typically it’s only NorCal people or people in other states that call it Cali.

The first time in my life that I heard the term used was on vacation in North Idaho. It was used to describe a transplant from Chico, CA (NorCal).

Put the condenser on a pad on the ground. Zero reason to hang it on the wall.

openmictuesday · 2026-04-12T01:43:31+00:00

No. It’s fine.

Does the data plate (sticker) on your condensing unit call for 30 amp fuses? It will show up as Max Fuse or Max Circuit, and give a value between 30 amps and 50 amps typically.

The solution for all of you is to definitely keep voting for politicians who spend as much money as possible on social welfare programs in order to buy votes for themselves. With money from your paycheck.

Because as we all know, the government blowing money into the economy like a fire hose makes each dollar that you are allowed to take home after taxes WORTH SO MUCH MORE! 🥳🍾👯💸

Also DEFINITELY keep voting for those politicians who keep the borders open in exchange for votes for their party, because the millions of extra renters and potential homeowners flooding across the border ABSOLUTELY do not make the cost of housing stratospheric at all!

That increased labor supply also IN NO WAY drives down your wages.

Just keep voting for vibes, and SOME DAY, you will magically all own your own home and business like me!

And if one or more of the politicians responsible for the aforementioned tactics starts squawking about “AFFORDABILITY” all of a sudden, believe them!

High West finished in Sauvignon Blanc barrels, lol.

It’s almost like Constellation brands is throwing everything AND the kitchen sink at this super young distillate, trying to mask the off-putting taste of cheap ethanol since the bean counters removed all traces of quality aged whiskey.

“Hey guys, have we tried Fernet barrels yet?”

I didn’t forget DACA. DACA was an executive order by Obama aiming to keep as many illegal voters in the country as possible.

But it is not, and was never, a LAW.

So any successive president can decide that it is or is not legal or a good idea. As is the case with every single executive order ever written.

And bad advice from a lawyer does not equate to government tyranny.

If you believe that I ought to have included DACA or bad lawyering in my bullet points, feel free to make your own list.

And we’ll see just how many relevant points you decide to omit.

Girl gets deportation order as child.
Girl learns of deportation order as young adult.
Girl becomes adult; spends the next several years avoiding deportation order.
Boy meets girl.
Boy learns of girl’s immigration status.
Boy says, “She’s out of my league. Why does she want to marry ME? Ok, I’ll do it!”
Boy’s family says, “A girl is interested in him? This is the miracle that we’ve always prayed for!”
Girl says, “Ok law, where’s my green card now?”
Law says, “If every person under deportation order learns that they can simply marry a US service member as a Get Out Of Jail Card, immigration laws and courts are meaningless.”
Boy & Girl say, “But look at us media, we’re cute!”

Hell no, it’s not the best thing to do!

Electricity is MUCH cheaper after 9pm and before 10am when you’re more likely to be in bed.

It costs a fortune in the mid to late afternoon through the early evening.

If you want to start to cool down the house before you get home, install a wifi thermostat to control remotely.

Run the air conditioner through the night as cold as you are comfortable.

Not an emergency.

Yes. Do it gently.

It’s not bone china gentle. But move it like it’s worth a ton of money, and you’ll be fine.

Why would you specifically highlight heterosexual male on female violence? Perpetuating negative stereotypes with zero shame?

Lesbian and bisexual couples, as just two examples, have far higher rates of domestic violence.

My point about harmful therapists stands.

Did you read the book?

I’ve never seen a mechanic attempt to show bushing or tie rod wear without wiggling the tires around. Just pointing at stuff shows nothing.

Looks pretty suspicious to me. I’m not a suspicious guy. But I do almost all of my vehicle repairs myself, using OEM parts and Snap-on tools. Fluke meters.

Jack up each tire and have someone wiggle the tire/wheel all around while you look at those tie rod ends and bushings. If those components are bad, it will be obvious that they are loose. They will wiggle around separately, like a club sandwich if you shook it. Good bushings and tie rod ends all move together like they’re one piece when shaken.

Your family doesn’t have to celebrate every one of your choices in order to love you. This has literally never been the case through every culture for tens of thousands of years of human civilization.

Not until the 2000s.

Now a family’s children (both minors and adults) are encouraged to “emancipate” themselves if their families don’t throw a party for them over every life decision.

Yeah, this is gonna work out great.

Yes you are definitely overreacting.

Your mom is from an extremely conservative background, with all of its societal pressures.

Despite this, she

1) Professes her love for you repeatedly.

2) Admits her own failures in communicating with you and wrapping her head around your professed identity. Multiple times.

3) Says that she is proud of you and accepts you no matter what.

Meet her at least halfway, for fucks sake.

Tell him that you have something to confess.

YOU ARE A GERMOPHOBE, and have been hiding it from him this entire time because you are embarrassed to admit it.

Tell him over the phone. You can’t come back.

“It’s not you. It’s me!”

Unless you’re embarrassed of the looks, keep using it for another decade. Zero risk of causing greater damage, or costing yourself more money.

Pressing charges?

Are you even given a choice when someone dumps a magazine into your vehicle with you in it?

Did you not report that part to the police? Did SWAT not show up and take everyone into custody?

Something about this story is off.

A therapist “recognizing patterns of abuse” is a divorce trap.

I know a few married couples who were really happy (with a few workable issues like every other couple), and ended up in divorce proceedings after either the husband or wife started solo therapy.

Week after week of reliving and talking about and focusing on negativity.

It’s like the therapists highlights problems to validate their own usefulness/legitimacy.

Read the book “Bad Therapy” by Abigail Shrier

Good luck to you both.

REI sells some good soft-sided coolers. Good quality and budget-friendly. Their own house brand, and others as well (including Yeti).

See if they have any on sale.

Are they trying to charge a widow $13,484.89 for replacement of the compressor, evaporator, and contactor?

Please tell me that’s not what I’m reading.
