    FOR SALE I'm auctioning off a bunch of Mopar parts

    A little guidance here, I'm coming up blank.

    Bought a big a$$ air compressor today

    I was on a jury that convicted a man for capital murder, because he backed his car into the driveway, left the lights on, left the door open, LEFT THE MOTOR RUNNING, among other things, also being a single person onsite alone was robbed and shot dead. Nobody saw anybody shoot anybody and there...

    Maybe, but that is why it has an unloader to reduce start up current demands and this I believe is a hobbyist application, not industrial full time factory application. The reason active phase convertors are difficult to justify is they have a motor running full time whether a load is placed on...

    When you drive your car to your house and park it, do you just let it "freewheel" in neutral until your next trip or do you shut it off?

    John S. Rehberg, 8/31/1956 to 9/14/2022, Dad you may be gone but you're always with me...

    I was very upfront with my employees, they were there because they did something I couldn't do or do by myself. Most I liked, lots were friends and some were respected and all were supported. But reality still existed, and they trusted me to be honest, and I tried.

    The Hidden Social Security Math Nobody Shows Retirees

    I missed the part where anybody said it was wealth. However, income is spent or collected, either buys influence or power more than the lack of. 10% of a smaller group is a smaller group having impact over a larger uncounted group. Who cares if they are working stiffs, they make their choices...

    History, current included is ripe with events few thought at the time could ever happen. As a matter of fact, plans are currently being put in place that daggers and pitch forks, if not outright banned, will be effectively irrelevant in preventing the 90% from being screwed. Nice sentiment...

    That solution then seems rather inefficient to beg the question, what is the goal here?

    However, a true "investment" denotes an acceptable amount risk with the hope of a greater reward. Personally, the last thing that should be at any risk is the last financial safety net, which is SS, and the last entity I would trust to make a sound fiduciary investment with my money would be...

    The Hidden Social Security Math Nobody Shows Retirees

    So maybe someone here who is getting a thousand a month can share what their lifetime contribution was to receive that $1k benefit. My guess it could range from $25K to $40K, and why SS is going broke and the claim of "it's my money" rings rather hollow and uninformed.

    One important related detail often left unmentioned in your simplistic, yet accurate example shared, what was the above imagined benefactor's total contribution to receive the $188,000 payout, speaking for the "It's my money and I want it now" crowd.

    Bought a big a$$ air compressor today

    I think you are not seeing the forest from the trees here. That compressor set-up outputs 75CFM+?, what realistically are your cfm needs here, and at what duty cycle? Not many here can physically operate a 60CFM? sandblaster near a 90% duty cycle for an 8hr shift. The tank by itself has some...

    And that is in some camps is intentional and the point, death by neglect. Because it will effectively collapse and cause major outrage by the majority if no one "messes with it", and everyone can say "don't blame me, I didn't mess with it". The solution is not with the majority, it's with the...

    However, that appears is the underlying ultimate goal, and if the current "free press" is further kneecapped by 2033, it will only be like a tree falling in the forest, nobody will hear it, as the "tsunami" will be intentionally under reported, and nothing will change. There are recent examples...

    The odds are however your FRA will be increased a bit I suspect as one of the changes to keep SS fully funded. And as others have touched on, very few at 99 can "enjoy" their wealth vs their "younger" years. I hope to live life much like endurance racers do, they only have to finish the race...

    Bought a big a$$ air compressor today

    Does it work? Is it 3 phase? What voltage does it require? If your usage only requires intermittent short term uses during the day, you will have a hefty electrical bill if the entire system has any leakage. A way to reduce that problem would be to have an auxiliary 60-80gal air tank, bypassing...
