  1. Yes, two of them. Well, I'm not sure "the same day", but he was looking at some of his trees to do sometime soon. So maybe...day 1 and 2?
  2. That just involved cutting trees and throwing them in woods. No grinding, There's only one stump I'd want ground. It's a heck of a deal. I was quoted by company A $1,800 for one tree, and $1,500 for a different tree. $1,800 sounds great, I'll happily do it, I just wonder if it isn't too cheap. He did tell me he is going to be doing more work for my neighbor that day.
  3. Lol. Well, I don't know how everyone assumed I was on board with going with someone not insured and bonded. I never considered using that "friend of a friend" one bit. So, I had the one company quote me $6,000 for the total job. That was roughly 6 trees, 2 of them being "big". I had someone come out today and quote $1,800 for the same job. Now, it isn't the same level of service. For $6,000, Company A will haul everything off. For $1,800, Company B is going to use a tractor to carry everything into the woods. This guy swears up and down he is licensed and bonded for $1,000,000. I asked him to send me proof and explained to him that I was advised to check up on it. He swears up and down he encourages people to verify his paperwork. So I think I will likely go for them. This is the same guy that spent a Saturday a few weeks ago at my neighbor's house. From what I could tell, he seems to do good work.
  4. I would personally recommend: https://discordapp.com/
  5. Unrelated to recent weather, unless you figure precautionary against future weather as counting. I have a number of pine trees that I'd like cleared. Two of them are large and too close to the house. The others may as well go too while I'm at it. I've had a mix of several different quotes, but am now hoping for a few more serious quotes to make a selection from. Questions 1) How likely is it, if at all, that the large and straight pines are worth anything to paper/lumber mill? I ask because a "friend of a friend" acted excited about cutting the trees for me for next to nothing because he seemed to think he could sell them to make his money. He's uninsured and I generally don't get a good feeling about going that specific direction. I guess what I don't want is to pay someone money to cut them, them convince me to pay a bit extra for haul-off, and then them sell it and double dip on the same trees. If the trees are worth something, I'd like to know. 2) Anyone recommend anyone good in the Cleveland area? I've spoken to two various companies and received quotes that vary, I'd like to see what the average quote. And...I know this isn't the best week for tree service.
  6. Maybe. I didn't think Trump could beat Clinton in the last election. Well...someone who can out-tweet Trump. At least he spelled everything right and used complete sentences. I wish for that day. Candidate D and Candidate R both show themselves to be despicable and then Candidate I comes in as a reasonable alternative and secure enough of the "non-voters" to win.
  7. Read that again. A Republican running as a third party. Example (just an example, with no reason to suspect anything as such would happen) Romney running as an Independent because he thinks he can beat Trump for the Presidency.
  8. If that's who floats your boat. And if writing in Bernie doesn't satisfy.
  9. Well...I don't realistically see any third party presidential candidate as being a real contender, at least anytime soon. I wish this wasn't the case. If third party candidates could provide a real threat, then perhaps the R's and the D's would find that they have an immediate and acute increase in hearing sensitivity. I don't fault anyone for voting third party. Sure, it may as well be "throwing a vote away", etc etc etc. I've heard it all. But the truth that if more people (vastly more, I admit) voted 100% for someone that was a good candidate rather than "the less bad guy", we'd be much better off. Just gotta get everyone to do it at the same time. I do wonder the prospects of a Republican running as a third party and thus splitting the Republican vote between those that hate Trump and those that love him.
  10. Which...is exactly how ALL the REPUBLICANS and ALL the DEMOCRATS want you think.
  11. I was going to say just write in @Erik88, but I'd assume he isn't yet 35. Maybe if we are still here in 2024...
  12. It doesn't matter what your ISP is or isn't. What's happening is Google is cutting the resolution of your Nest cameras as a whole to reduce overall network use. You have ISP A, B, and C. They can transport 10 DATA units each. That's 30 DATA units whole. Google has a service, Called NEST. All of their cameras, nationwide, use 20 DATA units. That means ISP A, B, and C only have a "spare" 10 DATA units. Google says, "Hey we will help!". They cut their resolution in half, therefore on a national level Google only uses 10 DATA units and now ISP A, B, and C have a spare 20 DATA units. That's essentially what happened. Netflix did the same thing in the UK (maybe worldwide) amongst others. It's to "free up the tubes" since the amount of videoconferencing, etc has went up potentially exponentially. Of course data units are called bytes and I made these numbers up out of nowhere, you get the general idea.
  13. To my knowledge we don’t really have an official policy. Typically up to buyer and seller in negotiations.
  14. Or...only ten times the current US confirmed cases. If it doubles every few days....we could be there by the end of the April.
  15. Serious question. Is that good to go with the NFA?
  16. For the record to anyone unsure, buying products like the one linked is a bad idea unless you buy a tax stamp.
  17. Unless you are talking about getting a Tax Stamp for one?
  18. Sadly too too true. Make that True^2 True to the power of two? I’ll be here all night, everyone.
  19. Yes and now. If a lot of small businesses do disappear, perhaps that will open up room for more to start. Perhaps an initiative to support the small business as well?
