Yeah, mini split ACs are so superior to American-style central air. I installed them into a couple rooms and removed the central air ductwork from the attic there. Thinking about doing it with the other rooms. Less power usage, every room g

Scale affects priority. I don't think we have enough federal employees to actually go after everything Trump has done.

I'm responding to someone who accused every politician of engaging in the same level of corruption as Trump. What is your basis for accusing Biden or Obama of even 1/100th of this amount? The Viktor Shokin conspiracy theory? Or

The article really glosses over the fact that the kid was 5yo walking to a pond. It mentions it at the very start and then never brings it up again. That's the part that got me: the mom gave her 5yo permission to go to a large body o
