i'm without a doubt a tool snob. I have no problem with harbor freight, but mostly don't want to deal with it. Icon is usually pretty nice though. Everything else I got from them was pretty subpar, and I returned a pipe wrench for being awful.

They make great tools, but I've heard mixed reviews about their warranty service due to their franchise model.

they make a great electric screwdriver, but otherwise I would probably stick to one of the much more affordable brands.

I hate buying powertools. I have mostly dewalt and milwaukee.

Time? We can lose our time. You don't need a particular example to be a good person. There are good people all over the world, including people who follow other religions.

People can't share the same subjective values, let alone the same god.

For option 2, can one simply ask, (RE a phone call) who is calling?

Today I will walk around the Ft Lauderdale International Boat Show.

electric generator? As in a gas or diesel generator?

Best of luck to you in these trying times

that's happening tomorrow?

Why would you go down there for a few weeks?

How do I get a horse or a gun?

I don't want to seem contemptful of my current employer, but my disatisfaction has been ongoing, and due to my personal circumstances (read laziness and bad timing) I don't want to leave this job until I go on an extended vacation, which I've been planning for a while.

Stacker News has been quite busy the last hour! nice to see so much life in the morning. As is often the case when I write these, I'm not going to work today. A little hungover from a double gin and ginger I had last night celebrating a friend's birthday. I don't usually do that kind of thing on a weekday, but my friends know, I'm always thinking about getting a new job, so my level of concern for this one is pretty low. I did get them to pay for a marine corrosion certification class though, which will look great on my resume.

I think displacing millions of people, killing lots of people, in the name of national security is evil. I think pretty much everything you've written is biased from a western perspective, and excuses collective punishment with weak appeals to justice.

Why are you giving me work. Damnit. Randy, I need help!

Imperial propaganda for the win. I guess we'll have peace in the middle east as soon as we're done killing all the Muslims.

You find it sickening to say things about service people? How do you feel about the tens of thousands of dead civilians?
