The dot com bubble was awesome for everyone that got out before the crash, and for most of the economy really. There’s a reason no one gave a shit about Clinton getting a blowjob.

It’s the living and breathing part the others have a problem with.

Saw a gal like that walking down the street in South Florida, I almost pulled over to hand her an umbrella. Figured in about 12 more seconds she was going to turn cherry red, then die of sun burn.

Grab a large enough group of people in any demographic, and some of them will be assholes.

Hey! It doesn’t mean we’re that ol…fuck.

I gotta say I understand the cost. Dig a full size grave by hand some time. It’s freakin exhausting. And sure, an excavator can do it in minutes, but that means you’re paying for time on a very expensive machine.

Heating is easier than cooling. For heat you just run a set of lines from the source to the homes, same as plumbing. To dump that heat into the ground, the field you need grows very quickly. A small town would need a large, and probably deep field of pipes. The cost would be huge. Geothermal is great, but digging is hard, so it’s relatively expensive. Every project needs to be individually considered, to determine if it’s really the way to go.

Just realize the hole he dug is probably the bare minimum to handle the heat load from the smallest window AC. It takes a lot of digging to cool a real AC unit. And European homes aren’t known for have large yards.
