and they better watch out, there’s a live stick of dynamite next to that ekg machine. time’s a ticking, hurry up and buy!

shit winds a blowing, randers

It’s simple, we, uh, kill the Batman.

lieutenant dan!

the upfront cost for something like geothermal is still outrageous, though. anecdotally, i bought my house with an older unit that ended up catastrophically failing after the reversing valve got stuck and destroyed the compressor. only 1 local shop in the area serviced the thing (same people who installed it when the house was built…) and the unit had long been discontinued since the company that made it (hydro delta) went bankrupt years ago. it was over $15k to put in a new updated unit… luckily my home owners insurance (with the help of a rider i added a year earlier that covered home systems) footed the bill, albeit after a long and arduous battle with the 3rd party shits that state farm outsourced it to. now this new system has a 10 year warranty on parts and labor, otherwise, i would have switched to gas in a heart beat. i can put in a new gas unit every year for 10 years at the same price… so while the geo’s monthly electric bill is nice, i wouldn’t dare install a new residential build with geo… plus add another easy $50k for the loop field if it’s a new install.

i’m afraid what’s going to happen once then 10 years are up since that always seems to be about the time major home appliances fail… probably try to move by then so it isn’t my problem, lol.

Another old girl that refuses to die, but sure likes to keep me busy and my wallet empty. I’ll get maybe a few weeks to enjoy the peace before something else decides it needs replacing, but luckily I do all the work myself… easy enough these days with YouTube and Toyota Camry forums.

Don’t worry, it’s just a friendly meeting with the Bobs

lol… not that i’m an amazon “investor” or anything, but i think most, if not all, openly acknowledge that AWS is the only thing that actually makes money. this is a desperate attempt to make their “store front” look like it’s not as big a loss leader than it really is, but either way… they’ll get off paying the troll toll and continue on with business as usual. 🙄

they want that sweet IPO pump and dump. when he sells, you’ll know it’s time to short the shit out of it. and that’s if it even happens at this rate, fidelity might up and say fuck you and cut them again, who knows.

lol, my thoughts exactly
