Democrats will lose the trust they have now.
They don’t have trust now. They are not Republicans; that is the one and only reason they are winning today. None of this is about trusting Democrats and if they don’t understand that and respond appropriately then the US is going to have Marco Rubio or some other Republican ass clown as president in 2028.
What do they plan to accomplish with this?
Remind them that we can burn their house down with them inside or shoot them in the face. They’re just sacks of meat like anyone else.
I feel like the implication here is obvious so I’m not sure what’s confusing to you about it.
Israel complaining about foreign funding in elections is pretty hilarious. That’s like 80% of their foreign policy strategy.
we can choose to start school/work after sunrise like sane people.
That’s the crux of the problem though, isn’t it? We don’t do that. We let psychopaths who enjoy waking up before the sun decide when everything else starts and, big surprise, they chose early as fuck.

Can we get a summary?
Ah, that makes sense. I don’t follow MI politics much so thank you for clearing up some confusion
It says some staffers quit after this which is cool, but why does a candidate who dropped out of the race weeks ago even have campaign staff?
They don’t have profit margins though
I have done the rim joists in my basement using a similar spray foam product. The biggest recommendations I have are:
Use the kind of gun pictured and not the cans that come with a straw. It is much easier to apply consistently and you can actually stop work and start again the next day using the same can. The straws work OK but they always get clogged when you stop for a bit so only use them if you are working on a small area and plan on using the whole can in one go.
Look into the difference between closed cell and open cell foam. I’ve never seen closed cell come in a can like that so I’d bet money that is open cell foam. It works great for air sealing but you need to apply a ton of it to get an appreciable R-value. Closed cell foam is a lot more expensive in the spray form and is a 2 part mixture that is more complicated to work with.
What I ended up doing was buying some 2" closed cell foam board at the local hardware store. It’s relatively cheap in board form and is easy to cut. I cut a piece of the foam board to fit inside the rim joist space and then used the spray foam to air seal both the rim joists themselves and the small gap around the foam board. I think this is the most effective way to do it unless you go for the 2 part closed cell spray foam but that was more than triple the cost of the foam board + open cell spray foam.
For comparison, the 2" foam board has an R-value around 8 and, if memory serves, you would need something like 8" of open cell foam to provide that same level of insulation. You can get an equivalent R-value with 2" of the closed cell spray foam but last I checked the spray stuff was about $800 and an 8’x4’ sheet of 2" foam board is around $60.
I don’t have enough space for a horizontal loop so I had to go vertical. The pipes are not PEX exactly but a similar flexible plastic material. Probably 2” diameter. It was pretty expensive but partly because I live in a cold climate. I was already looking at swapping from a gas furnace to an air source heat pump but the heat pumps that function in cold weather are pretty expensive.
I was going to have to get a new AC unit as well. I also ended up going with a unit that has a desuperheater for hot water. Once you add up costs for a new furnace, AC, and hot water, then subtract the 30% federal tax credit from the cost of the geothermal install it wasn’t as much of a difference as I would have guessed.
All that to say, our situations are different but if you have space for a horizontal loop and a relatively small house I think you could make it work with a repurposed heat pump and some manual labor. I definitely would have considered that if I had more land to work with.
Oh shit that is cool. Mine is definitely not but it looks very similar at least. I switched to a geothermal HVAC system last year so I hardly use it anymore but it is a good backup heat source
Funny, I have a very similar fireplace built with the same rock and that same heat induction fan. I don’t have near as much wood as you do though
Yeah that’s a good call. I don’t push back when asked directly I just pretend I didn’t see the emails. Most of the time it’s fine but the boring security stuff is usually the one they get me on.
I think they do that at my company too but in addition to not reporting phishing emails I have a personal rule that I don’t do any “mandatory” training unless someone in my management chain specifically asks me to. My boss probably gets annoyed by that occasionally but you’d be surprised how much of that stuff I never get asked about.
My company sends at least one fake phishing email a week. They track stats for them on a security page and I wear it as a badge of honor that my report says 100% viewed and 0% reported.
I’ve seen tons of anime but what sports communities are you referring to? The only ones I’ve seen aren’t active at all
Maybe in his mind there’s a significant difference between a shithole and a shithouse? I don’t want to subject myself to the insanity of trying to parse his irrational thoughts any further though.
It’s a shit load of money but the dude was a trillionaire a few weeks ago. $500 million for him is not even equivalent to a night at the bar for an average person. That’s how bad income inequality has gotten.
