  1. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    Maybe we should change the plaque on the Statue of Liberty - "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore." does not seem to match the majority view anymore.....
  2. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    agreed, but your original statement is still false as you never said dis-regard the first 200 years! (and "any other president ever" doesn't even limit it to the USA.....)
  3. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    pretty much from 1776 until 1875 immigration was completely open - not just a sieve, but totally open - no enforcement. Then incredibly mild restrictions until the Immigration act of 1924 - but still basically open when compared to anything today. just looking at the timeline, there were more...
  4. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    Illegal crossings happen at the controlled border as well - used to be the main way to come in as it was easier than trying to hike through the boonies.... for the vast majority of our 224 year history, the USA borders have been much more open than they have been for the past few decades...
  5. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    Are you sure?...........under Carter, Reagan, and Clinton I could cross Northern or Southern borders using only a state id or driver license... I even came back into USA using a HS school id when I was 15 (and driving a rental car that was rented to someone I was not related to nor were they in...
  6. Has busy melowed out and if so, does spring time bring sales back up?

    picking up now... we get slammed toward end of summer, slowly decreases toward Halloween, then almost dead through mid-January. it will increase steadily for us until June when we have a slight dip before the cycle starts again.
  7. Suggestions Onyx Go

    under the preview there is a small status window it has 3 tabs - "Print Info", "Console", and "Quick Sets".... here I have 3 jobs, length of nest is 40.6"... I have upgraded Onyx, but when we had the first year of GO it had the same display. I generally jot this number into a running...
  8. Need Help Drilling through brick problem

    I am not super familiar with their newest lineup, but the M18 Fuel has won awards and looking at the m18Fuel SDS Plus Rotary Hammer 2715 should do it.... but again I have not personally used this.... you can see the layout of the hammer mechanism seems to be better than the inline "slipper...
  9. Need Help Drilling through brick problem

    if the drill turns more than it hammers you will destroy bits.... drilling concrete and/or rock the turning of the bit is inconsequential to the actual drilling (it does help evacuate the cuttings)... think of the manual drills that have a 'plus' sign at the tip and no screw ridges on the...
  10. Need Help Drilling through brick problem

    there is a HUGE difference in quality of hammer drills - look for a good one... they are not inexpensive.
  11. Door Hangers?

    small quantity - wallmart and home printer... larger Kelly/Spicer and through an digital press - larger - offset press - even larger than that - web press and die-cut. on sign equipment - roll of cover-stock printed and contour-cut (almost the least efficient for cost) all of this depends on...
  12. Does anyone know what the black coating is?

    ... a quick drying spray paint, one that is flexible enough for plastics, will fizz a little like a soda (but with it's solvent/propellent) - when you lay a really thick pool, the quick drying paint with popping bubbles gives that same look..... now I am really curious what the original is...
  13. Does anyone know what the black coating is?

    then definately NOT powdercoat - or at least not the normal stuff I am used to... any other details? it is on wood, soft... rubbery? could it be just a poorly cured paint?? how thick is it? you can tell it was a liquid for at least a short time based on how the surface was trying to flow...
  14. Does anyone know what the black coating is?

    powder-coat is what it looks like.... is the sign metal?
  15. self employment and banks

    ???
  16. Was asked a question and didn't have a sound answer...................................

    yeah... it sticks to anything - if not careful you can wrap fingernails...(daughter says better than painting them!) They will likely send you a sample roll to try...
  17. Grimco and Epson Issue

    yep, but then, here we are. And it is good to occasionally watch how these get resolved.... a change in sales terms should never have been put in writing. A salesman can say whatever he wants and 'promise' it as well - unless it is in writing the puffery is just that. (and I infer from other...
  18. Was asked a question and didn't have a sound answer...................................

    try Substance - it is marketed for motorsports and seems to stick to any low surface energy items we have had requests for -- anti-graffiti paint is no match - porta-potties, Igloo coolers (textured) - seems to stick to everything... just print these parts on Substance and the rest of the...
  19. Grimco and Epson Issue

    He stated the rep gave him a statement IN-WRITING that the price would be honored at a later date (after the shop moved). If not for this statement I would agree with you. from what was posted it sounds more like a sales manager put puffery into writing - this would be on Grimco NOT the...
  20. How's crime / theft in your areas these days?

    you can put a large resistor (20k? not critical) and a wire going to the 3rd prong ('ground', 'Earth', or 'safety ground' - NOT neutral) and just touch it before other things that give shocks.... this will ground you over a slight time-delay as opposed to grounding through a spark.... no pain.
