Not all junk is equal. As the US becomes more corrupt over time, some “junk” will likely be deemed too important to leave to the vagaries of the free market.
Cronyism will become more and more important in evaluating investment decisions.
Good luck to all.
Back when I cosplayed as a construction worker in my summer days, Zebra Cakes and Mountain Dew were staples in my lunch pail. They used to taste so good, but now that I’m a desk jockey, I can’t handle that much sugar and just feel terrible if I try to consume them.
@SeaTurtle, better late than never, but I finally installed new blinds. I can’t remember where you recommended, but I was able to get a 50% off deal and it was super easy to do the install myself. When I got a quote for someone else to do the job, they quoted me over $5k for eight windows! Doing it myself cost me $900 and a couple hours of labor. That seems to be the case for any home improvement job these days.

Dang, now you’re giving me buyer’s regret.
I don’t believe it was intentional, which makes it even darker and funnier, but there is some kind of black humor at work when a post on Sinwar’s window-based termination is followed by one THR commenter asking another particularly helpful one for his recommendation on blinds. I missed the irony in the original pass, so am quite pleased history has recently repeated itself (see also, Doha) here. Thank you for bringing my attention back to this matter. I needed a good chuckle.
I don’t subscribe for this kind of thing, but consider it a real sanity-anchoring bonus.
Lol, I used to keep a bag ofcombos in my carpenters belt nail pouch. Highly recommend.
