  1. Depends... On what the installation requirements are. Do you trust a stoned half wit sweating pipes? They actually could burn down your house. Sweating is a bit of a skill. You also want to be safe pipefitting gas lines. What RochesterRob said above.
  2. That's why they are called: iSheeple. Because they will buy 2 power lawn mowers. People are incredibly lazy. That's the key to making a forturne. Exploit the lemmings.
  3. I don't want to be cynical. Just clinical. I am not lacking empathy. Everytime they bring the patient back, they are doing more damage, causing more pain... Vicious cycle. A lot of times, the patient can't express what agony they are in. Confined to bed, constant care... Then the bedsores, etc... Will they walk again, get to bathroom or need 24/7 care? Maybe the doctors see this and detach their emotions. People want to make it about money... But if I was in that shape... Let me go. It would break my heart that everything I worked for my whole life went to the State so they can wipe my ass, turn me over so I don't get bedsores... I would rather see my loved ones enjoy the fruits of my labor. To cling to emotion, live is extremely selfish, IMO. Now granted... It all hinges on that "ability to thrive." Is that ability there. Enlightenment is non-attachment.
  4. Duh. It's the first download. We already own the songs on CD that She is buying on iTunes. Why is she buying it again? Say, conservatively she downloads 100 songs we already have... Why am I giving an extra 100+ bucks to Apple? BTW, it is way more than that. /wallbash People are lazy. God knows what stupidity She is engaging in. She did marry Me! ?? Nice thing about this revenue stream, you can find anything you want with out the silly litigation two decades ago when people were sharing files. Cultural has really been changed by Apple. Made people lazy sheep, swayed by convenience.
  5. Galaxy S6 here. Customized launcher... With more gestures and features than an iPhone X.
  6. Sore losers. The Republican party is flaming out. Like a light bulb that gets briefly brighter before it totally goes dead Grasping at straws at their total implosion. Their sore loser power grap won't survive the legal challenges of balance of powers.
  7. My sister is a nurse. They call them "frequent flyers." I know that sounds mean. Probably doing more harm every time the cycle is repeated. We are going through this debate with Our father right now. In his case, it has nothing to do with money. He's in the VA. Basically socialized medicine. It's his ability to thrive that is lost. Why make him a frequent flyer? He's suffering. My Brother is health proxy. He finally changed the living will because he knows my father can't and the cycle will cause more and more harm... Pain, discomfort, failing to thrive. Like /dev said above.
  8. https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/kid-accidentally-brings-blow-sex-142930268.html
  9. I think Cedar Point one was open on Sunday when we were there. Can't remember. ???
  10. People are idiots. First winter storm, idiot goes barreling past wife in morning, skids off road right where another skidded off road, they were being attended to by emergency vehicles. PETA won't like this: "2 Birds with one Stone." Wife checked her speed... Kept on truckin' right past the carnage.
  11. They are on life support and your taxes are paying the bills. They need someone and come pull the plug.
  12. Mother inlaw using our old 4s. I put a new battery in, good as new.
  13. Anybody post this. LoL... Not sure if I did already... Yet so classic it can be posted twice...
  14. Yeah... I have been here since 2002. Fun times before the war. Then board went "poof"... Too funny. Would be nice to web crawl that board! I don't put anybody on ignore. Too much hassle. I like reading everything...
  15. You're a Gal. I am a creepy old guy. They will put their brain eating conservative amoeba in my neti pot!!! ?
  16. Freeze you... ? j/k... Could be up to a $500? Want it done right, Union job? LoL... Then, what's code now... Does need to be 18" off floor? Is it in basement... May need catch pan and pedestal if especially gas... I think that's National plumbing code? Mine is going on 23 years. Ready got the pedestal and pan... It's gas and in basement. Probably do it myself. I'd say... $1000-$1200 installed INCLUDING new heater. Nice heater.
  17. Soldiers were getting electrocuted in Middle East on base by faulty water heaters installation. Look it up. PTSD?
  18. I was encouraged to start a thread in PPP. Here's nifty one. Try to look past by the source and to the substance. Thoughts from the Main PPP Partisan Shills. I better not get a PPP STD... Ah, WTF, a little burning and green pee never hurt anyone... And it's fun; https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/policy-and-politics/2018/12/10/18126132/trump-populism-democracy-threat-minority-rule Dangerous demagoguery. Ruling by a gerrymandering monority.
  19. Why is the "notch" so important. Is that what's become? Cosmetics? I agree with you... Getting stupid. I was in Apple Store (please don't ask)...I felt my IQ dropping precipitously... And I don't have much to spare! They herded Us into the queuing area where an Apple Genius was all head mic'd up giving a high-level Ted Talk. He was talking about using gestures to swipe down @ "notch" and how to use the soft key Home Button to drooling 70 year olds hanging on his every word. One Asian guy was taking notes. /smh... Just get me the hell out of that "pit of despair!" Really??? 62 minutes later another Apple Genius was unbricking our old 6s after a faulty iOS update (Don't ask, I wanted to do it at home via iTunes, but got vetoed). Back to cosemetics... Screen aestheics. Really! "...Excess ain't rebellion.You're drinking what they're selling.Your self-destruction doesn't hurt them.Your chaos won't convert them..." There should be an iPhone stanza thrown in there... But the song is from 1994, I can't fault Cake for not going total Nostradamus.
  20. Wait a second. People go 40% faster than speed limit and the Po Po turns a blind eye?
  21. Yeah... But the speed limit is LOWER IN CANADA. 100kmh is 60mph. In most all States, 65mph. 55mph in Urban areas AND IN SOME States, 70 & 75mph in open country. Cops will give +0-5mph over... Maybe more within reason. Not sure how culture is in Canada... Okay I do know... But why are you going 90mph. Or is that 90kmh (you said mph)? Modern cars have dual guages, or press a button and go all Imperial or all Metric system. ???Huh??? Yeah... I have taken my car up to 135mph... Just for sh *ts and giggles. But if I was ever stopped... I deserve to be thrown in slammer, butt raped: NO! Even 90, you'd have to throw yourself @ mercy of the court. Just because everybody is doing it, doesn't make it okay. Edit: It's a $$$$$$$ grab too. To catch the "wreckless fish" in the school. Most of the time the pack will go with flow. Nobody is stopped if the pack acknowledges the speed trap.
  22. Again... You can do same here... Just not through a construction zone. Actually, you can... But that's just ignorant. I did have these plates. They never seen them before... Probably WTF. Hope these are in the database now. Will test them again shortly, with tonneau cover open. Probably geographically challenged and said: "WTF 'State' is Illinois & Michigan" while not finding in database. Plates been around for years. First time I crossed border with them. Esoteric, they might not be in database, this specialty plate?
  23. Wow. They let Us into Canada (old school style) without passports. I accidentally went through Duty Free a few years back. Coming back... They read us riot act in US. I felt like saying: "What? I can't comeback into my own country? Here's our ID. The Canadian Customs Agent effed up." Smokescreen... We have a Constitution here, liberty... Rebels be rebels. You won't drive so fast in prison. Maybe reaching for the soap-on-the-rope though. ?
