  1. If you are renting, why is the landlord not paying for it? If the coil is aluminum, it should be replaced as they are very difficult to fix. What is the warranty with the new coil? If your rent is low, and the landlord will not pay, and you do not want to move, just get it fixed.
  2. What is the size, brand and age of the unit? Do you own the unit? Did they show you where it is leaking? Is the coil copper or aluminum? Does the 4,500 include recharging the system and a warranty?
  3. Only if you're rich. In the US medical care is free for the poor.
  4. Yeah, the left's war on the family has certainly taken its toll.
  5. Not true. The left only dumped him when they had to. Most of the GOP are quite happy with Trump so far, particularly when one considers what a nightmare Harris would have been.
  6. By "see the light" do you mean regurgitate nonsense to advance a leftist agenda? I would call you are a liar, but I do not think you're smart enough to come up with anything on your own.
  7. What are all of today's problems? Please name a few that you think start at the home and we'll discuss them. Everyone uses other people every day.
  8. No one gave him blanket immunity, that you regurgitate such nonsense shows what a know-nothing you are. That you claim Clarence Thomas is corrupt proves it even further. You lefties crack me up.
  9. Did you not say: "There are a large majority of people, many coming from two parent homes, who are lowlifes, even if they're wealthy. Taught to use others by their parents." That seems like a broad, boneheaded claim to me. I know plenty of tatted-up people, why would you make a boneheaded assumption that I do not?
  10. It's amusing the way you make broad, boneheaded claims and generalizations, but then you object when someone else make a claim or generalization you disagree with. I betting you're a leftist, yes? They're generally sheep as well. Can you say baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa? In any event I did not say that all people that get tatted-up are sheep, or that all old guys (or gals) with newish tats were wussies their whole lives and then all of the sudden they're wannabe badasses. I said that most all people that get tatted-up are sheep, and I said the old guys (or gals) with newish tats that I see were wussies their whole lives and then all of the sudden they're wannabe badasses.
  11. Another know-nothing leftist going on about nothing.
  12. Mostly, people that get tatted-up are sheep. I think it hilarious when I see old guys (or gals) with newish tats. Wussies their whole lives and then all of the sudden they're wannabe badasses.
  13. Every time we had a layoff, production went up.
  14. But the big money went for Harris....
  15. Well, that certainly qualifies him to be President, him all being on TV and whatnot.
  16. For every "typical Irish/English/American/Sports pub" there are probably 500 restaurants where the staff make next to nothing on tips. Again, I thought we were talking about typical restaurant wait-staff, which you claimed make 25K. Six two-hour massages day, six days a week? I thought we were talking about typical situations, not about busy tourist shops. Again, for every massage joint in a busy tourist area, there are 500 normal shops.
  17. I said: "Service is usually good, and meals generally come out at the same time in the US." You responded with: "From my experience they just bring food when it's ready without trying to serve the whole table together. Often someone is sitting there 10 mins (maybe longer) without food while others eat." The service in Thailand does not compare.
  18. Just give it to your niece and be done with it.
  19. Drag it to the curb and put gratis sign on it. If that doesn't work, put a $50 sign on it and someone will steal it.
  20. I got in stuck in the US for about five months with covid. Took my wife and boy, they got out and I didn't. stayed at a Hampton Inn in Norco, CA. I had a bunch of crap stored at a buddy's house. He was remodeling so I sold almost all of it on eBay, and netted about $7K while I was there...
  21. I doubt very much typical wait-staff in Bangkok are making 25K a month with tips. Perhaps at high end or very busy tourist places, but that is certainly not the rule. Happy-ending massage joints sure, but I thought we were talking about restaurants. How many customers a day does the average massage gal get? Minimum wage for a full-time employee in Bangkok is B11,160++. In the US? No, that is absolutely not typical. You said: "I understand the concept of wanting to tip, but being socially expected to do it is just dumb.". When I asked why, you answered: "Why should society expect you to pay more regardless of service standards?" which does not answer the question. The whole concept of tipping is to reward good service. Tipping the same regardless of the quality of the service is stupid. That there are weak people that feel obliged to leave something regardless of the quality of service is ruining the whole concept. And no, it is not common that restaurants in the US compel tipping, but many do when you have a large group. Again, this ruins the whole concept. I feel no shame when I am poorly served and leave no tip, nor do I look down on people that don't tip. People that tip poor service are stupid, and it's not fair to the hardworking staff the provide good service.
