@Moen let’s be clear: your “smart” sprinkler controller can’t do the ONE basic thing a sprinkler controller exists to do — follow a schedule. It runs whenever it wants, blows right past my skip days, and can’t even tell me how much it’s watered on any given day.

Forget the weather-aware “smart” scheduling you advertised — you haven’t nailed a basic timer. I’ve submitted multiple tickets and gotten total silence, and your reviews are full of people dealing with the exact same thing.

Anyone thinking about buying one: save your money until they fix the fundamentals.

Hey @WeberGrills, love the idea of ‘built to last’—just wish my grill got the memo. One year in, and I’ve already replaced the ignition, 4 cheap plastic knobs, and the decals are peeling. Is this a grill or a high-maintenance relationship? #GrillOrBeGrilled

The Middle East conflict 101: UN in 1947: “Here is a state for you, the Jews, and here is a state for you, the Arabs.” The Jews: “Awesome. Thanks. We’ve only been waiting for this for thousands of years.” The Arabs: “Sorry no. We’d rather attack than have a state. We don’t want a state. We want no Israel.” The Jews: “Sorry you attacked and lost.” The Arabs: “Don’t worry. We’ll be back.” The Jews: “Here. Take land. Make a state. We just want peace.” The Arabs: “No. No state. No Israel.” The Jews in 1967 (Khartoum summit): “Here. Take land. Make a state. We just want peace.” The Arabs: “No. No state. No Israel.” The Jews in 1991 (Madrid Conference): “Here. Take land. Make a state. We just want peace.” The Arabs: “No. No state. No Israel.” The Jews in 2000 (Camp David Summit): “Here. Take land. Make a state. We just want peace.” The Arabs: “No. No state. No Israel.” The Jews in 2001 (Taba Sunmit), 2005 (Disengagement), 2007 (Annapolis conference), 2008 (realignment plan), 2010, 2013 (Joint peace talks), 2019 (Bahrain workshop), 2020 (Trump peace plan): “Here. Take land. Make a state. We just want peace.” The Arabs: “No. No state. No Israel.” The world in 2024: “Let’s give them a state.” The Arabs: “No. No state. No Israel.” The Jews: “Ok, no state for you.” The world? “Those Jews!” And then there are the wars that the Arabs attacked the Jews and lost: 1948 (war of independence), 1967 (six day war), 1973 (Yom Kippur war), 1982 (Lebanon war), 1987 (first intifada), 2000 (second intifada), 2006 (second Lebanon war), 2008 (operation cast lead), 2012 (operation pillar of defense), 2014 (operation protective edge), 2021 (operation guardian of the walls), 2023 (operation swords of iron). The fact that there is a single human being on planet earth who still doesn’t get the following fact is insane and mind boggling. The Jews want peace. The Arabs who call themselves Palestinians do not. They never have. They never will. Want proof? The PLO: The Palestinian liberation organization was established on May 28th, 1964. There were no settlements then. There was no occupation. What exactly were they looking to liberate? The answer is Israel, every last inch of it. There was Arab terror against Jews well before there was any occupation. There was Arab terror against Jews before there was even a state of Israel. 1929, for example. Arabs massacred Jews in Hebron. Why? It was 1929. Israel was established in 1948. How exactly does that work? Were they massacring Jews to resist the future occupation? 😂 Anyone who thinks that offering the Palestinians a state will solve anything is a fool. Period. Full stop. It’s time the world learned Arabic. The Palestinians want dead Jews. They say it, they vote for it, they act towards it, and then they live stream it. And yes, I said Palestinian, not Hamas. The Palestinian people elected Hamas. Thousands of them participated in October 7th in one way or another. Close to 90% of the Palestinians support Hamas. The Palestinian people exist from day one for the sole purpose of destroying Israel. It’s their entire identity. They keep trying and keep failing. They don’t seem to learn their lesson and neither does the international community. Israel wants peace. Israel is willing to make compromises for peace. Israel also knows well how to handle its enemies when necessary. It has a lot of experience. If you are still reading, and disagree with anything I wrote above, kindly tell me what is inaccurate about what I said and if you can’t, if you agree with the facts I listed here, tell me please how, in 2024, after October 7th, anyone still thinks the Palestinians want or deserve a state. Congratulations on completing your course on the Middle East. You are now officially more knowledgeable about Israel and the conflict than 99% of Gen Z and pro Palestinian activities who take to the streets every day chanting for the murder of Jews. Thank you for coming today. Any questions?

The pride @RockefellerUniv, PhD student, Noelle Eghbali. She believes so strongly that Jews do not deserve the right of self-determination in their ancestral homeland that harassing decent human beings that disagree w/ her actually makes her run farther!! @ADL @ADL_Tracker – at Colorado, USA

Noelle Eghbali is an overt anti-Semite. She has no place in such an advanced institution. You keep her- you’re promoting antisemitism as well.

Noelle Eghbali is currently enrolled in the prestigious "Tri-Institutional MD-PhD Program", a joint venture between Weill Cornell Medicine, The Rockefeller University, and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. She appears to be in the lab of Vanessa Ruta. Concerned? [email protected]

No wind. Low vol. Perfect weather. All RWYs open. They can use any runway they want, but they stay on ILS 22L/R. They are complacent. No excuse. @JFKairport @PANYNJ @Pollytrott @USDOT @ATCA_now @NATCA @SecretaryPete @DOTInspectorGen @RepSantosNY03

Just purchased a new home with @VikingRange fridge😀. Then realized it had broken drawers. Little did I know it would cost $2000 to replace them all 🤬. Better off just replacing the whole fridge with a @Thermador or @MieleUSA #buyerbeware #scam #ConsumerProtection – at East Hills, NY
