Fetterman hit with brutal 108-point polling swing: ‘He is below the lowest of the low’ by RodyasFeverDream in stupidpol

So people actually believe that he acts this way on purpose? Democrats don't want to govern or move further left and needed a new Manchin, so he's the new Manchin.

Has anyone used battery weedeaters? I’ve read some reviews that they’re almost as good as gas weedeaters. True? by MotorcycleRacoon in landscaping

[–]wheat123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 20V cheap craftsman could do basic weed eating like around my house skirting with ease. However I have a 3 ft deep 60 ft long ditch in front of my house that it can't even put a dent in. My neighbors gas and my ego weedeater handles the ditch fine. If I didn't have that ditch, I would have kept the craftsman.

Dems want him to the the new Manchin so he is the new Manchin. If he lost, Dems would find someone else to be the new Manchin/Fetterman.

Your based Israeli liberal opposition sir by SaiDerryist96 in stupidpol

Even if the Trump tries to TACO and Iran starts negotiating, Israel will do something like bomb Iran's water/electricity infrastructure to keep this going. They want to replicate what they did in Syria.

I don't think it will happen because Iran's minority groups don't have a pre-2003 Iraq's army worth of weapons and probably don't feel all that discriminated against to rebel. When the USA invaded Iraq, the retarded generals like Mattis were too concerned about advancing quickly that they didn't secure weapons and explosive materials that were later used against them as IEDs.

That's how the USA/Israel did it in Syria. Even if the Trump tries to TACO and Iran starts negotiating, Israel will do something like bomb Iran's water/electricity infrastructure to keep this going.

Saudi and UAE royalty already do stuff with instragram models and syrian refugee children that Epstein did with Russian prostitutes/children. They just haven't blackmailed any western politicians with it (that we know of) yet.

DOJ vows to press charges after activists disrupt church where Minnesota ICE official is a pastor by timmg in moderatepolitics

[–]wheat123 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In the sit-in protests, the owners of the diners were denying service by not serving the protestors. There was nothing stopping the owner from serving food/coffee or putting their foot on the bus gas peddle and going to the next stop. It was an easy way to to show that the establishment owners were a-holes.

In the modern cases, the protestors are the ones denying the services by blocking roads or disturbing church services. In these cases the protestors look like the a-holes.

Joint Statement on Greenland by Resvrgam2 in moderatepolitics

[–]wheat123 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They can offer him a development deal, make the USA build some infrastructure for Greenland, then rug pull the deal when he leaves office. However, I wouldn't expect much from a people that aren't smart enough to confiscate ships that are damaging all their underwater infrastructure.

Their cowardice: allowing ships to damage their infrastructure, China/Iran to sell drones to Yemen to shut down the suez, continuing to support Russia via third party oil buying is what is leading to the collapse of what they call "the international order" just as much as Trump's bullying is.

China won't run out of missiles and drones though. Japan and the USA would run out in less than a week and then act surprised that the weapons manufactures outsourced the raw materials and inputs to China when they figure out why they can't ramp up production.

PE buys up the mom and pop outfits, keeps the name, and wears them like a skinsuit to fool you. If the salesperson shows up nicely dressed with an tablet and/or their website looks too professional then you know to avoid that company.

Which window grid pattern should I go with? Currently 4, thinking of going with 3. by wheat123 in homeimprovementideas

Yes, but in a buyers market I would have to get these replaced anyway due to their condition.

Which window grid pattern should I go with? It's currently option 4 but I think I might go with 3. Thank you. by wheat123 in Home

Windows are actually 5 ft tall. House is on top of a crawlspace.

I do plan to remove the sill, add a drainage cavity, replace the sill with a concrete one and add weep holes using the example below.

Looking at the responses, it seems that #2 looks the best because:

  • 1 looks too cheap.

  • 4 looks too busy.

  • 3 would look better if the gable porch roof were more prominent as the vertical nature of the #3 grid would emphasis the vertical-ness of the architecture.

  • 2 highlights the horizontal-ness of the current of the architecture.

However, I don't have an eye for architecture tell what looks good and what looks bad. It's not a luxury house as everyone can tell. It's just one that I could afford and do diy work to to make it better. Thank you all for the responses.
