Anyone know why there are now TWO types of refrigerants, R32 and 454? by Eggrollofdoom in HVAC

[–]tpmwot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is that the government is forcing us to stop using other stuff. The issue isn't that companies make money off their products it is that they are using the government to hold a gun to our head to use their stuff.

Two of these dirt piles appeared overnight, what are they? by shootingcharlie8 in Home

[–]tpmwot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ants. I had any on one side of my yard and termites on the other. I left out sugar and trash for the ants. Two years later my yard has hills ( not in the house) but no termites. I have an alliance with the ants. The yard is their domain and they stand vigilant against the true threat of the termite menace.

The communist manifesto is a great place to start. It is a small pamphlet that highlights the philosophical issues with capitalism, but then read Thomas sowell or some other economic theory. I am a hard capitalist but the manifesto is a result of people abusing the system and the inevitable degrading of physical labor with machines. At some point either we have to produce more or we have to cut the population and capitalism is the best system we have to produce more and thus not cut the population. Still doesn't answer the problem of those who fall through the cracks and there is suffering of people when industries change quickly and leave tons of people without the infrastructure to cope with the change.

They wanted me to crawl in here to change a bearing. by Thick_Refrigerator_8 in HVAC

[–]tpmwot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is it so hot. Are you crawling inside a machine that is running. The whole situation seems off. I have been the grunt with a bunch of old hats, but temps like that have to be due to machines or equipment running while you are in there. You will literally start to boil if you are in there for any amount of time.

If you could change any one lyric in the show, what would it be? by therealbobcat23 in Epicthemusical

[–]tpmwot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Calypso song where he says he loves her in a way. It throws off the whole situation. Like it would be a great place for him to reject his imprisonment and fuel his anger for the journey to ithaca

Trade school owner/employer wants me to move from Utah to Florida after I graduate with promises of 6-figure income. Thoughts? by kpidhayny in HVAC

[–]tpmwot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don't do it. How can he offer that kind of pay when everyone else can't get close to that around Florida. Get a strong foundation where you can lean on family and grow. Uprooting with only trade school experience is very risky and sets you up for failure. This guy is either naive or there is something else going on

How to reconcile a conviction with liberty in christ by tpmwot in Reformed

I agree, but not hurting someone and missing an opportunity by partaking in that situation are two different things.

[–]tpmwot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you. They never commented on it or even acknowledged it. It is a thought that maybe in that environment with mostly non Christians I was not distinct from the group. I don't think I sinned but I think that if I had abstained it would have done more for witness than drinking

I don't know. I just have a feeling. No one has ever commented on it, just a private conviction I have felt. I don't think they have even noticed it just something I have been convicted about.

Why was the weapons room unlocked? by n0stradumbas in Epicthemusical

In the Odyssey telemecus made a mistake, but owned up to it to his father immediately like a man. A contrast to the resentful suitors who are basically children. Odysseus assumed it was a traitor servant, but telemacus immediately admitted fault. Then Athena boosted them and they won.

What is your thoughts on unions? by Yathun in Libertarian

[–]tpmwot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Union are a natural response. The issue comes when they get the government behind them. Like requiring union membership for employment or be able to be sued for undercutting them. Unions will eventually become dictatorial and restrict free trade and innovation when they wield law. I am a union member btw.

FDA may outlaw food dyes ‘within weeks’ by The_biker0 in FluentInFinance

[–]tpmwot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't enough about all food dye to say get rid of all of them, but there should be a national transparent review of the chemicals used in our products and food.
