He’s launching a free speech holocaust.

What if we kissed under the party arch?

Drop ceiling tiles are so fragile and ugly. Very laborious to install. Guests would do stupid things, like lift them up to snoop and put tuna cans up there and other nefarious stuff. The stack of tiles needed to outfit a hotel would be massive. To think drop ceilings are used in hotels defies logic.

It’s not a suspended ceiling, it’s a concrete slab. It’s probably a prestressed concrete slab and the lines are the individual panels. It could be poured in place but I doubt it as that would require a ton of form work and be very slow and expensive.

I have a cat on my lap. My day is pretty much fucked.

If that’s an issue I suggest you take a look at tuition for non residents.

Dicks Out, Get Eating

I don’t know what the reasoning is, but “they” say there’s too many people and that, like, 2/3rds of humanity should die. Probably due to them being the wrong colour.

He probably just read the Mad magazine parody. Same with Hitchhikers Guide. He’s doing Zaphod dirty.

If you believe the technocrat mumbo jumbo he’s fracturing central government into tons of little fifedoms that his billionaire buddies can rule. And hopefully while killing bazillions of people as some kind of a ‘market reset’ to drive up shareholder value.

Fucking terrifying.

They would be far more nefarious if they weren’t tripping over their own balls all the time.

Fear not! These foibles will all be iterated away during Trump’s third term. Practice makes perfect!

You could listen to Wiarton Willie he said early spring.

You’d be wrong. You can whip up blood pancakes!

Don’t fuck around with pressure vessels. It’s seriously dangerous.

I hadn’t heard that. What are they being replaced with?

You get what you pay for. They’ll be drawing from “the best of the rest” in a dwindling pool.

You think I say a lot of things.

I agree, we own many things that we should borrow. I disagree that electric drills are the worst offenders. I wish my small town had a lending library. I would gladly use it. But I would still keep a drill at home, even though I have 3 at work.

IMO the electric drill shows the dysfunction of consumer capitalism in microcosm.

You’re correct, but it’s a fractal. It’s drills all the way down.

Every household has a stove. Isn’t a communal oven where we all bring our dough a more environmentally ethical choice? My neighborhood has a laundromat but I have a washer and dryer. Is that selfish? Personally I’d love a communal heating system, I hate dealing with my furnace.

I take no offense to the conversation, but I think putting a stigma on drill ownership is quite low on the Social Irresponsibility Index.

But the transaction cost of borrowing my neighbors is much higher. I have to talk to him for 20 minutes, he has to find it, it’s not charged, it’s a piece of crap and the Chuck doesn’t work. An hour process for a 10 second job to hang the shelf.

I think a drill is a terrible tool to use as an example since it’s used for many purposes and almost any household chore. A better tool would be a Sawzall, it’s built for a niche tasks and can be essential for that one cut. I will absolutely have a chat with the neighbor to avoid trying to make a cut with a hand held hacksaw blade trying to cut a stud in half. I use it so infrequently I absolutely don’t need my own.
