re: Has There Been A More Feckless SOH
Posted by SlackMaster on 12/31/25 at 9:26 am to Taxing Authority
As much as I hate it, someone like Mike (traditionally conservative, but too consensus-oriented to really lead) is probably the best we could hope for. The more aggressive change-maker would never get the GOPe votes to win. I was just glad we didn't get another sell-out.
Unfortunately, the change we're looking for won't happen quickly. Our only hope is that we somehow sustain the movement to root out waste & corruption well past the Trump presidency.

re: What is going on with this LSU lake project
Posted by SlackMaster on 12/24/25 at 10:14 am to MikeD
quote:No. The homeowners wanted the project more than anyone. But, it (and much of the budget) was hijacked by other interests and they give only lip service to even the most reasonable feedback or input from homeowners. They have their plan made by “experts” and are sticking to it — even if it changes on a monthly basis. :lol:
Likely the homeowners put up a stink about that.

Fuego?

quote:I generally agree, but some are worse than others. HP is the absolute worst because their entire ecosystem is designed around expensive refills and forcing you onto their HP Direct printing.

cartridge refills cost more than the printer

Voting "yes" is a vote for robbing Peter to pay Paul...by your logic.
Correct. Because we’ve voted to overfund Peter — by alot. Now Paul is bankrupt and we’ll be paying one way or another — it’s a matter of how much.

This has been my experience and my family (who've only had iPhones) can't understand my frustration. The ios upgrade to 26 "liquid" whatever did improve it somewhat, although my battery now dies in half the time. :lol:

I think the writing on the wall is too strong for any delusions of fixing it. Instead, his type will blame everyone around him for the failure: the assistants, the players & NIL, lack of support by the boosters, fans, etc. Thus, he’s entitled to every bit of the buyout.

Also, everyone I know who owns premium demanding Mercedes, puts regular into their tanks, including mechanical engineers.
Yep. As someone said earlier in this thread, modern cars (that call for Premium) can adjust their timing such that regular gas doesn’t pre-detonate and cause engine damage. The trade-off is that this causes the engine to produce less power and/or lower MPG.

Serious question, in a car that uses regular, would running a tank of premium having cleaning properties owing to the additive packages to make it worthwhile
