  1. I tend to use the same private hospitals and once I've been issued an ID card I have never been asked for a passport.
  2. Is the water pressure also low at other outlets such as kitchen or bathroom sink? If everything is low pressure then you probably need to do the shower head as you mentioned. But, if the pressure on other outlets seem higher, then your shower valve may have a blockage (a problem I had in the past). Normally there are screens installed at the input to the shower valve and they can get plugged up, especially if the condo has done any work on the water lines which can knock loose a bunch of debris (which will collect at the screens if they are installed). The only way (that I know of) to check if you have plugged screens is to turn off the water supply and physically pull the valve off the wall, then turn water back on and see if any debris comes out. Get a Plummer if you are not comfortable removing the valve yourself. Also, did you check with any of the other residents living on your floor to see if they have similar problem?
  3. I worked in a Naval Shipyard for almost 30 years (before xfer to different dept.) which included new construction and overhaul. Hull cuts were a big deal that involves all that you mentioned. If you worked new construction for 50 years, then you must be aware that the insulation (pipe/hull) on the older subs contained asbestos, all of which had to be removed very carefully after someone realized that it wasn't good for people to inhale the fibers. These hull cuts were nothing to be taken lightly and were only done for major overhauls that lasted 3-5 years. I don't know if cutting hulls makes any sense in today's labor market because the expense back in the 60's/70's was immense. I think it's probably more prudent to decommission a sub than to do what we did back then.
  4. The pressure hull can be cut (they actually call it a hull cut). The procedure is done while in drydock (on blocks), so water is not an issue. These hull cuts are done during major overhauls and mostly on the top where equipment can be removed/replaced via crane. Have also seen on the side but not so common. It's a big deal when the removed hull is replaced with lots of x-raying to ensure hull integrity.
  5. They usually dry dock the ship and do a hull cut but normally is installed during initial construction.
  6. So. you want to make a big deal out of one billion that you seem to think Trump is wasting but you chose to ignore the more than 180 billion that Biden pis*ed away on student loan forgiveness. That one billion is a drop in the bucket compared to what Biden spent and that's not including the billions wasted on supporting criminal migrant gangbangers who gave nothing in return, other than murdering innocent Americans. Your priorities are the reason the Democrats are described as a "cracked out clown car".
  7. What happened to the pen and desk, donated to the US government as required? just copy and paste the above, that I gave you before. Do you understand copy and paste? Are all lefties of the opinion they are entitled or is it just you?
  8. I have no way of knowing for sure, but it may be that many on this forum live in condos where pets are not allowed.
  9. Let me make this perfectly clear! I am not here to serve you, no matter how entitled you think you are. If you are too lazy to simply type an idiom into a search engine then you are not worth my time to even bother with you. Good luck with your "I hate Trump derangement".
  10. I think that remains to be seen but considering all the good things Trump has done, I wouldn't object if it was given to Trump. You're welcome to disagree, I could care less.
  11. What? Wow, you are a tad dense. Just type it into google or ChatGPT.
  12. One billion to renovate? That's a great deal for the taxpayers. It costs 2 billion to build a new Air Force One. Sounds like a savings of one billion. Try not to let your hate get in the way of basic math.
  13. As the old saying goes "takes one to know one"!
  14. LOL. Good to see Trump living in lefty head's
  15. None that I'm aware of but the approval rating of the Democratic party seems to be at an all-time low.
