Sounds like someone is gunning for a Herman Cain Award.

“Now the thing that I call livin’ is just bein’ satisfied, with knowin’ I got no one left to blame.” – Gordon Lightfoot, “Carefree Highway”

I think a big part of happiness is rooted in learning what you can control, taking responsibility for it, and accepting what you can’t control.

Easier said than done sometimes. But, I tend to stress a lot less about a situation when I’ve sorted this out for myself.

I’ve worked too many places where “b” is absolutely the answer. Even small companies that you’ve probably never heard of where management is drinking the koolaid. They usually don’t like being asked why someone would actually pay for whatever bullshit they’re selling. The answer, almost without exception, is because one of their CEO buddies told them it was a good idea.

The “Great American State Fair” bombed epically so it’s time to drag this tired old corpse of what used to be a horse back out so we can beat it some more.

I’ve found LLM’s to be pretty decent at writing one-off scripts for boring tasks. “Baby wipe scripts.” Use them to clean up the shit and throw them away.

Not giving a shit what other people think of you. I think this starts, for most people, earlier than their 40’s but it’s still great. I don’t care about impressing anyone except me.

Excess moisture in the crawlspace can absolutely cause condensation on the HVAC ducts when the AC is running. Especially if the ducts are uninsulated or poorly insulated, as is often the case in older homes.

Get a dehumidifier and dry it out. If needed, you could run the dehumidifier in the basement and put a fan in the crawlspace opening to circulate air.

The dehumidifier may be necessary even after the crawl space is dried out. We always have to run one in our basement in the summer.

That said, there are zero reasons why the condensate line should have been terminated in the crawl space. Dealing with incompetent contractors sucks.

Wait, are you implying that poor people will from red states don’t do a whole lot of international travel because I would never have guessed that.

And I would bet they’re banking on losing considering the administrations approval ratings have exited the toilet and are currently on their way to the sewer plant.

Oh, it’s very real. It’s also warm and yellow.

There are. They are just not currently traded on any stock exchange. That doesn’t means you can’t buy them.

I’ve been using Porkbun for years. No complaints.

Let’s just skip the prison, take him to Antarctica, drop him off on the shore, and leave.

Absolutely not. I have a septic system and my hopes and dreams would plug up the drainage field. That’s a very expensive repair.

You can’t explain that!

I have to use Outlook for work. It’s difficult or impossible to find the features that were actually useful in the new Outlook.

I still use old Outlook because at least it actually works.

“Experts say power plants ‘burn coal to convert water into steam.’”

I mean, does anyone really know how these things operate?

“Art of the Deal”

Research “value investing.” A lot of the stock market is pure speculation but it is very possible to invest in businesses who run a “good business”, meaning they’re more concerned about long term sustainability than maximizing their share price right now.
