  1. Well it seems the whole world is opting for I4s with turbo instead of naturally aspirated V6s. I guess I should see if those also require premium gas too.
  2. Educate me...I’ve never bought a luxury car before. I’m looking at mid-size sedans and there seems to be a huge overlap in price and amenities between low-end models in luxury brands (e.g. TLX or IS300) and their non-Luxury brand counterparts in a high trim (e.g. Accord Touring and Camry XSE). What are some considerations that I may be overlooking when deciding between say a Honda and an Acura, or a Toyota and a Lexus? Maintenance cost? Fuel type? What else you got? Thanks in advance, WC
  3. This. Also interest rates in general are low right now so financing a used car doesn’t cost nearly as much as it used to.
  4. Like CNN? What’s the point? people can get that from the news and any other social media platform. However, people come here for the assholes and opinions.
  5. How does one go about filing complaints from the local to national gov? TCEQ? EPA? I’ve always seen homeless camps on the Greenbelts but they were always more inconspicuous. All that went out the window when the city said we don’t give a shit.
  6. How do you determine how many down spouts are needed?
  7. No new growth on the two big stumps. The stuff also seems to be working on the smaller hackberry trees where I applied it with a foam brush on the leaves. The leaves are yellowing and some of the trees look to be in real rough shape.
  8. I made absolutely no political or philosophical point. I merely stated an additional statistic for additional context in reference to deaths in American wars. Not sure what warranted the angry name calling.
  9. A friend in Houston waited for over two hours to get a test and ended up leaving untested because of the wait. Then two weeks later she got a positive test result in the mail. How messed up is that?
  10. Smoking related deaths in the US are 484,000 PER YEAR for additional perspective. https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_sheets/fast_facts/index.htm
  11. Well that’s good you know. Whichever pulseox you end up with, the most important part is that it provides precise results..... then you just monitor for changes.
  12. They’re all mostly cheap Chinese electronics. There was on study from U San Fran that indicated Contec is an accurate brand. I bought one and had some cheap knock off sent instead. The vendor eventually sent me a Contec, which was very similar. Both work about the same. They’re off by 1% from one another.
  13. I recommend honeycomb shades over blinds. It has a cleaner look and blinds are also dust magnets. I got mine at bed bath and beyond. I have also done the white faux wood blinds from Home Depot.
  14. The leaves on some of mine are turning colors... I’d leave the foliage along and spray it with a brush killer.
  15. My pick up has always been scheduled during horrible pruning windows.
  16. Well that sucks... oh wait the city NEVER schedules large brush collection in my area during oak pruning seasons.
  17. It’s advertised to kill stumps as well if you wanted to give it a shot. the instructions provide directions for applying to stumps too... However, I’ll report back in either case.
  18. Have one of these in my attic...works like a champ
  19. I just dumped a bunch of these on my big stumps and brushed it on the leaves of several other smaller trees that sprouted in my gardens. Will check back in 1 to 6 weeks as directed https://www.lowes.com/pd/BAYER-ADVANCED-32-fl-oz-Concentrated-Brush-Killer/4329986
  20. Brondell Thinelines are back in stock at Amazon. It was painful to pay the 150% markup but thats the price for 100% cleanliness.
  21. Looks like that’s for DEAD stumps?
  22. Holy crap, I cut down two hackberry trees behind my shed several months back and now they’re back! I left like a inch of stump and those SOB managed to survive. So now I removed all the new growth. I also took my reciprocating saw 365 around the stump to cut off the roots. I should get some of that brush killer as well. I have small hacks all over my yard too. Little buggers are impossible to pull up. Can you apply the brush killer with a foam brush? Some of these are close to other plants I don’t want dead.
  23. https://slickdeals.net/?sdtrk=iphone&apikey=741d8d19b1acc834c3a3219a1229a082ba6db711&api_key_id=21332692&pno=571658&lno=1&sdtid=0&trd=Amazon%2Bcom&sdfib=1&afsrc=1 Front page deal on Slickdeals. Anyone have this one? Need to replace the brondell that broke when I replaced the toilet.
  24. Is there one you recommend?
