HVAC. what do you think about all those videos comparing the different lithium drills. like Milwaukee vs. Snap-on vs. Flex? Who the f has a Flex drill. Snap On is made in the US so no foreigners, you got one of those. Not cheap?

I watched a few of these comparisons and I just couldn't relate? Does it matter to you have fast a driver puts a 8 inch screw into a board. Any of them will do the job? I still have a Ryobi 12v from like 2014 I use and both batteries that came with it still work, although they never show they are properly charged...my favorite is a bosch 12v my friend gave me but he isn't white.

what i was thinking yesterday when I had them all out, I'd never replace or get rid of any of them, because it doesn't matter which is the best because the biggest frustration is changing bits out constantly. My bosch had the small star bit. my 12v Milwaukee had the 3/16th aircraft bit. the 18v Milwaukee had a 7/8ths hole saw bit. the little Ryobi had the Phillips bit. the big Ryobi had a regular drill bit, i dunno, maybe 3/16th. But that guy, though it lacks power, it has a level. well, I've got a 48" installer bit coming and I'm going to use that one because it has a level built in -- dumb little gimmick but in this case, it may matter. the big drivers get left out because too much power.
This explains why you want me permanently banned.

huh...so is that like on my Android tablet, I keep it on its stand usually and plugged in charging, and it might wander down to 98% or 97% before switching back to charge, but the more it switches the more wear and tear on the switch I guess that's why I thought you were an hvac guy because people by ACs with condensers too big cuz they want ice cold but then it wears out the relay switching going on and off all the time.I thought about getting into pi to build a music streamer or something. thought about building an amplifier but I don't know crap about electricity except I'm afraid of capacitors.
Does that increase my social capital score in your mind?
Nope, the only thing that increases social capital for me is if a person is Marxist and woke.
This explains why you want me permanently banned.
okay, what's the explanation?

You’re supposed to read the idiot’s mind so he can complain about you making things up. That’s the formula. Also, words are hard for the schizophrenic.

It's been obvious for quite some time that Trump is a moron who imagines himself a genius. It's little wonder his idiot fans are the same.

I have no time for their aggressive stupidity.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

Do you find that people have a lot of time for your aggression or your stupidity? You may. It is a spectacle and people may have time for that.

It is important to understand that these progressive Marxists aim to inundate America with undocumented immigrants, ultimately seeking to dismantle the system established by a group of white men in the late 1700s. They believe that if America is destroyed, whiteness will also be destroyed.
Why would you worry about ‘whiteness’ being ‘destroyed’? What does that mean and why does it matter?

That sounds like a weird racist hangup if ever I heard one.
It appears that the MAGA brain trust has run aground in this one.

Racist sentiment only makes sense when you remember the people who spew it are irredeemably damned stupid.

That's why Trump and his apologists go together like crap and stink.

Curious, are you one of those types that scream "racism!" when someone has a problem with a culture?

I've disclosed personal information around here about my race, age, sexual orientation, education and career. What about you? Tell us about yourself. And Schmoe too. I'd like to better understand where you're coming from.

Interesting choice of words. You and your radical-left ilk scream “racist” at damn near everything. That is your sentiment, correct? Seeing racism in all things. Interpreting everything through a racial lens. Reducing every disagreement to race and moral failure. So what exactly is a “[r]acist sentiment” then? Is it hating people because of race? Or is it the compulsive need to see race everywhere, to explain every action, motive, or idea as racial whether it fits or not?

Because if the latter is morally superior, you should probably say that out loud. Own it. Admit that your worldview requires racial sorting as a default setting. Don’t pretend it’s insight when it’s just fixation. Calling everything racist isn’t moral clrity. It’s intellectual laziness, or retardation. It’s prejudice with a paper halo. And it’s no less stupid just because your online buddies clap when you do it.
