Almost all my tools are 18V Bosch, including an angle grinder, a SDS Hammer (GBH 18V-26 F) and a circular saw. At least for all the work which I did until now they have enough power, and I was/am surprised for how long the batteries last before I have to recharge them. The only mains power "tool" which I bought was a Festool dust extractor. I would buy them all again, they work great.

I wonder how many people in Europe listen to the Trump-supporting Musk. I agree with Olaf Scholz: ‘Don’t feed the troll’

They are the experts.

Yes, that sums it up nicely.

Do you know the difference between Biden and Trump? Bidens mind was pretty good some time ago. And then it wasn't good anymore and the DEMs decided to remove him as a presidential candidate. Trumps mind was never good. And it got worse, and worse. And for whatever reason Americans then decided that idiot is the perfect candidate to represent them. That tells us a lot about those American voters.

Thank you. It's good to know that 70+ million Americans think a president should act like that. Amazing, and very sad.

I always have to laugh about that "again". Again, like when was it great the last time?

I have no hope that he will ever understand that. I had some hope that the majority of American people would understand this. But it seems over 70,000,000 of them also don't know what that is. That problem is much bigger than the fact that the orange one doesn't understand it.

Almost all my tools are battery powered - including heavy duty tools. No problem. In case I would move to another country with different power I would only need to buy one new battery charger.

I bought most of my Bosch tools from this company. I have very good experience with them. TCL TOOLS Sales & Services - Assembly of Perfection https://tcltools.com/en/

By now his supporters probably don't expect facts or logic. He rambles and they like it. It's like a religion.

Read the headline: Does Trump completely lack decency and compassion?

Are you surprised by any of this? He is an ahole, since many years. Nothing about his behavior is a surprise to anybody watching. It would be a surprise if he would first collect the facts, then think carefully, and then talk.

I suggest go there in person and ask. Some time ago I looked at their website and try to do everything exactly according to what they want. And then I visited them and half the things I did were not necessary but cost me time and money.

And do you think Trump makes coherent points? 555

I mostly use Thai, English and a picture. The picture probably from the website of their own shop. And they often still don't know anything.

Ok, fine. Let's just accept that is as the truth (I don't know enough about the situation). So, the USA would like to have more military assets in Greenland. Ok, understood. And what is the best way to do that? A message on X or Truth or whatever that the USA wants to buy Greenland? Sending his incompetent annoying son over there? If he would be serious, then he would wait until he is president and then his government would approach their government, and they would talk about possibilities for US weapons in Greenland. And I guess they could come to an understanding - why not. But Trump is different. We will buy Greenland. And/or he is willing to use the US military to get Greenland. Strange. Maybe someone should give him the book How to win Friends and influence people. I don't have much hope that he will read it, I have even less hope that he would learn from it. But we must continue to try.

Maybe you understand it. Many of us, me included, try to understand what he says, and we try to make sense of it. But because he is lying all the time and is inconsistent all the time it just doesn't make any sense. If you think you understand him then please explain his current rumbling about the Panama Canal and Greenland. Does this make any sense? What do you understand? Or he is just an ahole who talks a lot without thinking? Maybe his fans think this is entertaining, but the rest of us think: Why does he do that? It doesn't make any sense. Do the people of Greenland want to be part of America? NO! So, case closed. Shut up.

That is a good point. It seems many Americans wants a president who entertains them. Who will be able to explain to those people that being president is a serious job?

There is a name for that: Dunning–Kruger effect - Wikipedia

I think the annoying part about is that if you actually ask them something they mostly don't know.

"He lost the plot" since many years. That wouldn't really be a problem, there are many people with mental issues. But in most countries people don't vote for mentally unstable people. But in the land of the free...

I agree. Additionally it seems many workers are very sensible how you tell them what they did wrong and how to do it better. I once saw one of the "nongs" using a hammer on my large expensive bathroom tiles. I told him "STOP! Don't do that." in Thai. Later I was accused of being impolite with that guy. Really? Things like that need a lot of patience. Sometimes I have this patience, but some other times there is just too much going on to stay cool.

Sorry, no. In fact it is difficult to find workers who even know how good quality work looks like. Most seem to have this "I can do this" attitude without knowing much about the subject. I.e. I am also sure I can lay tiles, somehow. But maybe they are not straight, and maybe they don't last and lots of other little issues. I don't do it because I know I don't know enough about it. But I am sure lots of Thai workers, with less knowledge than I have, would confidently claim that they can do it. And with some issues it is not a big deal to do it again, i.e. silicone around the bathtub. But other issues like water pipes in the wall and tiles and many other issues can't easily be fixed. It takes often a lot of time and money and involves lots of dirt. That is a problem.

That is a very good reason. I just counted in my head. I think over the last 3 years I bought 7 Bosch Power Tools. Good tools make work so much more enjoyable.
