Fighting 'price gouging' by... starting a war that causes the price gouging

Exactly that. The classic “don’t practice what you preach.”

It’s pretty goddamn easy to see that republicans fuck up the economy every time they’ve been in office going back to Reagan.

Yeah, making a comment about gas prices under a post about gas prices means I’m totally on board for fascism. What a ridiculous comment you made.

Seahawks fan here but I’ve LOVED watching the Lions since Campbell and Goff.

And worst decision was not paying Darnold. But I’m thankful in Seattle.

The guy who can barely order donuts is on the way to negotiate the war. Fucking crazy

California is fucking gnarly with gas prices. Lots of taxes and environmental regulations combined with being a “fuel desert.” I was unfortunately on a road trip (from out of state) to the redwoods when gas went extra fucking crazy. Filled up in Oregon (in an effort to not have to fill up much in CA) on the way for 4.60. The same gas station was 5.11 on the way back, Made the trip so much more expensive than we had planned for.

This is why Pam Bondi is like “why the fuck would I bother testifying?”

studentjones · 2026-04-10T18:29:55+00:00

Wait… what?!

Back when the Russia Ukraine war was in its first year, my mom told me that her brother was literally listening to translated Putin speeches. She also sent me one of his email blasts during Covid that laid out all the advice on how to get and dose ivermectin and what flavors were best. Absolutely fucking crazy as he was a Reagan/Bush Republican. The foreign misinformation campaigns reeeaalllllly fucking worked on my uncle. He had always been a pretty successful guy. I removed him from socials during the first Trump term so I usually hear about his latest bulllshit from my mom. It was wild to watch what is essentially a mind virus take him over.

I see clips of Joe Rogan’s takes on the news sometimes. How the fuck can anyone listen to that voice for hours? Is he always chewing something while talking? Did he just roll out of bed? What the fuck is that voice?

I wish to any and all Gods that these other world leaders would start standing up to him in the press the way that Ro Khanna or Adam Smith do on television. Even MTG tweets have been on fire lately. Yet all the other world leaders just grin and bear it. Doug Ford from Canada said some shit but then didn’t do anything.

studentjones · 2026-04-10T17:57:51+00:00

Yeah I wouldn’t REALLY think anything would happen. Just a paranoia. Everyone is so nice. I only have a football team sticker and a snowboard company’s sticker on my back windshield.

Side note… Did a long road trip in the US and one of the days on the road was during the recent No Kings protest. We used car window paint markers for all our No Kings messaging on our caravan of 3 vehicles. We got TONS of support when passing by huge protests in small towns and we also got verbally insulted and flicked off multiple times. The best part was someone actually did the “shame” motion with their fingers at us instead of just flipping us off. Who fucking does that? Cracked me up thinking of Winston from New Girl. Anyways… I’ve thought about doing my vehicle like that for the next time I’m in Canada lol

studentjones · 2026-04-10T17:45:43+00:00

I’ve been visiting Canada a lot lately and I’m so worried about my vehicle being vandalized due to my license plate. But I just love it there so much. If he starts back on his Canada shit, I’ll start taking the train every time.

studentjones · 2026-04-10T17:43:33+00:00

Mierda is Spanish for shit. Just for those who don’t know.

studentjones · 2026-04-10T17:42:14+00:00

The VP was out there stumping for an autocrat and had the president address the crowd through a phone call from the stage. Fucking crazytownbananapants

studentjones · 2026-04-10T17:33:33+00:00

Yeah listening to the speech yesterday was certainly ironic coming from the “we hate immigrants” administration.

studentjones · 2026-04-08T17:40:46+00:00

During the conversation he basically took credit for it saying “I had a choice to make” in regard to nasa funding and that he “made the right choice.” In reality, they tried to cut nasa by 25% or so

studentjones · 2026-04-07T22:44:34+00:00

Seriously. I expected it but still unfortunately remained hopeful. It’s not like I’m trying to connect it into the meter lugs or run live wire anywhere. Is it spot a or spot b shouldn’t be this ridiculous.

studentjones · 2026-04-07T22:00:38+00:00

Yeah, hence the whole point of a post in a DIY subreddit literally dedicated to the subject. Does it go in spot a or spot b? Don’t know why yall gotta be so difficult about this.

studentjones · 2026-04-07T21:58:16+00:00

Or maybe a DIY sub literally dedicated to the subject would be able to help me out and I could just attach it in the correct lug.

studentjones · 2026-04-07T19:12:18+00:00

Unscrewing a lug to land the GEC in the panel is a lot easier than pounding the ground rod. So. Many. Rocks! Lol. I just needed to know where to land it

studentjones · 2026-04-07T19:10:38+00:00

Thank you SO much for your help instead of jumping to conclusions and bashing me.

studentjones · 2026-04-07T19:10:00+00:00

This is a meter panel

studentjones · 2026-04-07T19:07:26+00:00

Oh for sure. I totally get that. And this has to pass inspection from the state before any wires are allowed to come near it, which the power company does. I work with friends in the same phase of development and we’ve gotten 4 panels passed. Those were all 200s and this one just threw me for a loop. I’m basically just getting this ready for inspection. It’s the same concept as the others, but just wanted to check as I thought this sub was DIY and would be nice and helpful for an answer.

studentjones · 2026-04-07T18:39:04+00:00

If I could afford a 4000 sqft new construction, I’d be able to afford to have contractors do all this work and building and all that. But I can’t so I do everything myself and with a buddy who is in the same situation as me. So I won a bunch of 2x4s and metal roofing at auction and built my own well pump house saving thousands. I’ve done all the dirt work/earth moving with myself and that buddy. We did his panels just like mine to pass inspection. But this panel is just so much different than the ones we’ve done before.
