while rich people can be reckless spenders.
In the late 1800’s, the Vanderbilt’s were one of the wealthiest families in the world. Right up until they each blew their respective shares of the family fortune by doing shit like building houses that they couldn’t afford to maintain.

I served on the board of a Section 8 housing authority for a number of years.
You would be amazed at the number of people who don’t understand that leases are legally binding contracts and there are actual, enforceable consequences for violating the conditions of it.
“You guys can’t evict me.”
“Uhhh, yeah, we can. It just so happens that hording 30 cats in your house and letting them soak every inch of the place with piss is a violation of the terms of your lease.”

Teenager: “What? Nana doesn’t know what ‘gas’ means.”
Me: “You wanna bet? Ever heard of the Rolling Stones? 🎶Jumping Jack Flash. it’s a gas🎶.”
Teenager: 😧

They probably view that as a statistic worth bragging about. It’s not. If Excel got calculations right 57.2% of the time it would be completely worthless.

True. But, that type of content only appeals to idiots.

That is a very interesting way to describe nepotism.

The problem for OTA affiliates/broadcasters is content. Their business model relies on getting eyeballs so they can justify what they charge for advertising. Creating content that your viewers actually want to watch is expensive.
Aside from some of the larger PBS stations, I don’t know that any of the major broadcasters, like Sinclair, have any experience producing their own content. They can throw their little tantrum and refuse to air Kimmel, but that’s just going to hurt them in the short term as advertisers will decide OTA timeslots are not a good investment.

Getting news from reputable sources generally involves reading and ~25% of American adults are functionally illiterate.
Probably not the main cause of people turning to TikTok for news but if you drew a ven diagram of the two groups, I wouldn’t be shocked if there was an awful lot of overlap.

I’m gonna guess you live in either Bella Vista, Holiday Island, Cherokee Village, or Hot Springs Village.
I could be wrong but if you have a rock yard in Arkansas, the odds go way up that you live in one of those four places.

Cramming useless, unwanted bloat into existing products is what corporations do when they’ve lost the ability to innovate but don’t want to admit it.
Manufacturers do the same thing. I spent a couple of years at a company that makes industrial power tools. Those jokers tried adding a line of “smart” tools, apparently not understanding that people don’t buy a tool that costs thousands of dollars because of some irrational compulsion to connect everything to WiFi. They do it because they need a tool that stands up to a highly abusive environment while doing it’s job every single time without fail. Management was somehow shocked when this new point of failure was not well received.

Typically you would use nails instead of screws for frame construction to accommodate lateral stresses caused by movement. In this case, I think maybe a pile driver would be a better solution.

You think that’s bad? Allow me to introduce you to rock yards. I’m slowly getting rid of mine but removing several dump truck loads of gravel is hard work.

You know what Congress could do instead if they weren’t fucking morons? Eliminate the cap on social security taxes. Viola! Crisis averted.

That’s actually the check valve. The store had those and more permanent PVC ones. I saw the rubber one and thought I would be really glad I went with that one whenever the pump has to be replaced.

The space wasn’t as bad as you’d think. Breaking up rocks up a few inches at a time with a rotary hammer and scooping it out with a post hole digger was the “fun” part.

For sure. But, since is hasn’t moved in 50 years, I’m gonna let it be.
