  1. 21 year old two story house in the outlying Houston area.  We have two A/C units - 5 ton unit for the downstairs.  3 ton unit for the upstairs.  Both units original to the house when built, so 21 years old.
    We've had issues with the A/C units for the last several years.  Every summer, we have to flush the drains by the sinks inside the house where the main drain lines for the units connect as they clog up and the A/Cs stop working.  This year, I noticed the secondary drain line outside dripping non-stop (even first thing in the morning).  Drains in the house working fine, so lines not clogged (at least, not from the upstairs sinks on down).  Called A/C guy out and discovered that evaporator unit in the attic seems to have a cracked/leaking basin/pan inside the unit - it's dripping water down both main drain and secondary drain.  Not really fixable.  Time to replace the unit.
    Side note:  we replaced tanked water heaters with a tankless system several years ago.
    A/C company comes out yesterday and replaces the 5 ton unit with the leaking issue.  Unfortunately, they are unable to unclog the main drain line from the evaporator to the upstairs sink.  They replaced the piping in the attic and the hose at the sink, but the line in the wall is FUBAR.  They connected the main drain line for the 5 ton unit to the old (1") drain a line from one of the old tanked water drain lines.  This ensures water is dripping out a pipe near the foundation on the side of the house.
    A/C guy says best solution is to install a French drain at the pipe and leave the main drain connected to the old water heater drain line.
    I'm wondering if there will be less headaches down the road if we tear open the wall and install a new drain line to connect to the sink drain like the old system did.
    Anyone have any experience in this area?

  2. Just don’t admit them or kick em out when you can. A married couple I know who didn’t get the vaccine got kicked out of the hospital last week and sent home with a whole shitload of oxygen tanks and some written instructions on how to use them. They’ll probably be ok but I doubt that’s the optimal standard of care. 

    Dunno about optimal, but sure seems overly generous. Why not let ‘em do the horse paste and prayer warrior route.
  3. I'm jealous 'cause that's a nice looking chunk of land.  But Mr. & Mrs. Gingrich just have that look about them that screams "Indoorsy"

    You can see her thinking, “Ten…..maybe fifteen more lifetime blow jobs - tops! And Imma have all that money. And get eaten out by hard body 20 year olds instead of me servicing the corpse.”

  4. 50 years ago they knew they were not the smartest, best educated people.

    This was meant to apply to all science-y stuff, world affairs, climatology, medicine, etc.

    But being good at stuff does not make you a critical thinker. My mechanic is way talented at his craft, but not, not a critical thinker.
  5. Rural America isn’t dying. It is just not populated by the best and brightest.

    And the social pressure of conforming after being largely rejected is why people believe stupid shit. It is less about the content than their identity within a group.

    As i type this on a Longhorn fan message board....

    50 years ago they knew they were not the smartest, best educated people. 50 years of talk radio and Fox - and Facebook - have turned the non-critical thinkers into a block of people who know if you recite some talking points you see on Fox and Facebook, THEY are the keepers of knowledge. THEY are the smart ones now!

    It also is a tremendous self esteem boost to be smarter than the so-called educated elite, college egg heads and scientists and such. Suck it libtard doctors, Imma eat my cow paste mask and vaccine free, like Jesus did!

  6. Kyle,
    You cannot unilaterally "supersede" the refund provision that is written into my contract with VT-AAA.  That's called breach of contract.  Unless you can show me a modification to my contract, signed by me, I will not be abiding by the "current refund policy" and will take legal action to enforce my rights under our contract.
    This is not merely "frustrating," it is unlawful.

    Deceptive practices claim added to contractual breach?
