These are the people the Oregon Democrats have been making concessions to with their supermajority.

Oh wow. I occasionally fix my own appliances out of necessity and cheapskate-ness. I do handyman stuff for money, but not appliances, except installing dishwashers, microwaves, disposals and such.

I don't know exactly what business you're in, but I've been a carpenter for nearly 30 years, and I was a contractor for maybe 15, so I might not be that surprised lol.

I don't have any training whatsoever beyond this little online course, which was super easy (if tedious). I think you need a lot more to actually be certified to work on systems professionally, this is just to handle refrigerants. I will be reading up on other stuff, I'm a compulsive autodidact.

I basically DIY everything, so I bet I'll make use of this more than once. You can do most car A/C without the cert, because the little cans of 134A are exempt, but it would still be good to have. It's crazy expensive to get fixed professionally, and mostly not that hard for a shade tree mechanic.

I think it was like 12 hours to do the course? I just kinda chipped away over about a week, I didn't keep close track. It was super tedious. The course is only $10 from Skillcat, it just occurred to me I have no idea what they'll charge to send me the certificate, so hopefully that's not ridiculous.

It's so I can "help" my parents DIY install a heat pump system. I probably won't actually need to buy any refrigerant as there should be enough shipped in the system, but I'm covered just in case. And I did learn some actually useful stuff. I think I'll get the 609 Cert for automotive A/C too.

I woulda scored higher, but there were a lot of questions about stuff that was never even mentioned in the online course.

I have passed my EPA Section 608 Universal exam, so I will soon be certified to purchase and handle refrigerants for small appliances, residential comfort systems, and industrial and commercial cooling systems. I just want y'all to know that you have nothing to worry about, you can totally trust me.

Well, I don't think I'm going to do lead, but yes - hammers, dollies, torch. Then maybe a little Bondo. I don't know what I'm doing at all, it will be a learning experience for sure.

Imagine the FOMO among the PPB rank-and-file. I'm honestly surprised they've so far maintained discipline to make the smart political play. Which demonstrates that cops do behave somewhat better if they know their political power and budget are at risk.

We are so disassembled. And we keep discovering more body work that needs to be done. The plan is Guthrie will learn to TIG weld (he's got high school shop class skill levels now) and I'll learn to hammer on sheet metal. How hard can it be? Anyway, look for this car on BaT in 2033.

I was aware that this is a cool car that exists, but I definitely didn't have the visual information in my head to make the connection from the picture.

Dacia made a boxy, low-cost EV that weighs less than 2,000 lbs, and just in case that wasn't enough to win me over they called it the "Hipster"

For sure. At least this guy seems like he'll be an absentee owner, so we won't have to see him at too many games.

My love of basketball and hatred of capitalism, as ever, at odds. Not looking forward to enriching this asshole with our local tax dollars. Unlikely that any other billionaire would be much better.

A radish from my garden that stayed too long in the ground. It's formed 3 bulbs, the top one covered with gnarly, bark-like skin, the bottom one still quite small. It's laying on a wood cutting board.
