    Then you will pay higher prices.

    I load garden shit at Lowe’s. Sometimes we get blown out and people bitch for faster service. OK. We can always hire more people, any given business’ top expense. Then we charge more. Then the customer bitches about prices and goes to Home Depot. Where they don’t have as much staff. Rinse and repeat.

    I often forget that while young people aren’t usually too wise to the ways of the world, that doesn’t mean they’re not fucking smart!

    Woke to this reading a senior (high school) paper of mine 35-years later. Figured it would be childish. Holy shit! I wrote that at 17?!

    Now if I could get the brain plasticity back and tack on the wisdom, I’d be a beast brain. :(


  • Pro tip: Modern American fans are required to have a voltage limiter chip to dial down the lights. They fail. Lots. If your fan lights don’t work, buzz, hum, whatever, take it down and cut the little fucker out, wire back together with wire nuts.

    I’ve replaced two crappy fans with really nice units I found in the trash. 100 how-to’s on YT.
