  1. the gold leaf fad always rears its ugly head every decade or so. I recall the heady days of the Kobe Burger or Hot Dog with gold at Wall Street spots back in the day
  2. Do you know what England's greatest export is? Independence Days
  3. ah... but isn't two, more than one? exactly.
  4. I get it. this will help mainstream BlockChain based technologies for consumer applications. All of this is a long way from being pervasive.
  5. it's a user controlled DRM / watermarking. meh
  6. this: and this: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-walker-with-attorney-fees-and-medical-bills?pc=fb_dn_shareinthankyou_o&rcid=r01-161409635663-8fe2454fafac482c&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=p_email%2B5806-thank-you-ask-share&fbclid=IwAR2MPn3INwKBF_Y1zRzJl8-MuOjLPH-WQMWiyagQ2Zv-MAV3dg-ooAN-YLo
  7. this thread needs to be perma pinned
  8. those Gas Gene's like the WEN are nice, but I opted for the NG model as I don't want the wife or kids to have to deal with moving it, connecting it, fueling it.
  9. Generac is the king of the Home Gene world, followed by Kohler and couple others. They are all all about the same and Generac is probably the most consumer friendly. Local code variances aside, you want a Gene that runs off NG vs Petro as you don't have to fuck with fueling it, presumes you are residentials and have constant NG. You want it placed 10ft from the house for ventilation purposes. You will need a plumber and the local gas company to collaborate on the install, very easy and happens all the time. You might need a bigger gas meter, not a big deal, they will swap it. You may also need some black pipe and the Gas Company and or Plumber will handle that. W.r.t whole home Gene...you want an Auto Transfer Switch so it kicks in automagically and there are no wires to connect, which means no opening to the outside of house. https://www.generac.com/all-products/generators/home-backup-generators/guardian-series/22kw-7043-whole-house-switch-wifi-enabled Lead Time: get ready to wait. Generac and most others were already experiencing manufacturing delays due to Covid 19, then this summers storms impacted the timeline as well as everyone up here ordered the after the August storms.Expect a few months. I look at it as insurance and in investment in my property. a whole house project (on Long Island) can run between $8k and $20k depending in size, complexity of install requirements ,etc. the units themselves are pretty standard w.r.t cost, its the install that gets you.
  10. I'm going with the opinion of the three plumbing companies spoke with who sell both options, your mileage may vary
  11. On Water Heaters.... Placement: most of y'all don't have basements but thats a great place for them. Mine is right next to my NG Boiler and it has an expansion tank. Guarantees that it won't freeze as its by the boiler. I also think tankless are more trouble than they are worth. They can't heat as fast or as much water as a tank system, they need more frequent cleaning as well. New tankless and new tank generally have a shorter lifespan due to planned obsolescence. things like this used to be meant to last 15-20 years, now it's 8-12 years. I seem to recall people used to say a roof would last 20-25 years and now it's 15-20. New light bulbs are build to crap out at a certain usage time.
  12. this. I live in NY, it's cold here. I still have snow on the ground from storm two weeks ago and it's snowing today. probably 6" inches fresh. Do I drip? nope. Not even the outside spigots? nope. All of them (three) have their own cut offs, one is attached to the sprinkler system and has been cut off and drained for months, one is a Freeze Proof spigot and the third one will be updated to that come spring. I also have a finished and heated basement so that helps. Next week we are putting in a Natural Gas powered 22Kw whole house generator, joy of joys.
  13. possible, some gaskets/seals are cardboard material and they leak in extreme temps and temp swings. I get a variety of drips from places under my '76 Bronco but then again Im working with 45 YO auto tech
  14. Quiche, real men eat it
  15. I get to do all my own lead gen this year, which really isn't any different than its been for 6 plus years except now they give us ZoomInfo and LinkedIn Navigator and what to track the activity. the only thing that matters IMHO is revenue. My LinkedIn Navigator SSI # does not correlate to PO's. I'm so tired of the "Social Selling" bullshit.
  16. it's all the little shit. Our backwards ass French IT staff won't support using a Mac so now I have to use a PC. I've been on my Mac in this role for 7 years with no issues. there goes my efficiency.
  17. We use a Nespresso Vertuo for "by the cup" and a simple Cuisinart drip coffee maker for "by the pot". Use Sumatran Manderling from Stew Leonard's.
  18. so it SKO time...virtual new shitbag Sales VP is doing Sales Awards...but what are they? who gets them? Usually its by performance...b/c we are in Sales and performance is what should matter. Nope, not this year. The Rep w/ the biggest deal did receive "Rep if the YEar" but the rest were all political. No mention of what the actual award is and no mention of all the Reps who exceeded their quota attainment. wtf?
  19. I saw an article stating the opposite, that the supply of bars to meet the orders is tight.
