  1. If you do go airless, X5 would be my rec.  I have one of the handheld graco that has the paint cup, and cleaning is a fucking pain.  So much so that basically everything that isn't a big job I just roll or brush.  But the big jobs require refilling the cup constantly.  Go big or go home.

    The end of the CodeNEXT process was pretty crazy, with tons of amendments and changes and factions divided pretty evenly down the middle.  It was impossible to keep track of the latest proposal.  To me, it felt very out of control.  So yes, if we are going to change zoning I would like the Prop J protections in place, to allow the voters some time to see the final work product and decide if this right for Austin or not.

     

     

     

    You’re being very sophomoric in general, but particularly here. You’ve had it explained to you that this is illegal by state law currently and would cost the city (ahem, you, me, and these other assholes) millions to fight and lose in court. Why the fuck are you advocating for Prop J rather than changing the law first? Honestly curious. 

  3. I finished the bottle of balcones blue last night and I'm about to kill the last of my buffalo trace. Guess I’m headed to TW Brodie this week. ER still available most of the time there?

    The whole opioid crisis is a joke. All of the actors trying now to act like innocents. 

    From the creators of Oxy to the doctors to the pain clinics to the pharmacies and everyone else in the supply chain. Was nothing more than a legalized drug cartel. 

    And now that the pendulum has swung other way and a ton of previous pill takers have been pushed to the street the industrial prison and police engines are involved. 

    Making money on the user from addiction to arrest to incarceration. 

    Just a fucking joke. 

    Well, when you're selling there are 2 ways to make money: sell to the top or sell to the bottom.

     

    Rich people have high expectations and there aren't too many of them.  Requires a high price premium product, and then more work keeping the customer happy after the sale.

     

    Poor folks will take what they can get, and there are a whole lot more of them.  They also lack the means and opportunity to be selective.  This whole situation is predatory.

  5. Made in Asia.  It's fine, no worse or better than most.  Warranty is supposedly a good deal but realistically you're unlikely to use it.

    If you're not going for the Festool or Feins of the world, I'd agree with those upthread that say Milwaukee.  I have the older Dewalt ecosystem and it's fine, but I can't wait for it to die so I can justify upgrading.  Nice tools just work better with less frustration and less time wasted.
