Perry pimping Texas to California has never left my mind. He offered incentives and tax breaks and turned the once beautiful Hill Country west of Austin into an extension of California. When Bill Clinton toured through he beamed it was the Silicon Hills.
Along with all it's pride, class and dignity, it's superiority over other cultures of people from other states, Texas has always had one flawed chromosome. And that is it chopped shot and hacked Texas away from Mexico and the Indians that Mexico tried to take it from, to exploit. As one writer put it, they wanted to plow it's prairies, cut it's timber and crack open it's bones to suck it's marrow. In other vernacular, to drive it like it was stolen.
A landowner will shoot you for jumping a barbed wire fence onto their sacred family property and then turn around and sell it to the Chinese, a California developer or some out of state mining company and turn it into a gravel pit.
As a Texan, I never understood that.

There wasn't enough wood for everyone that had real fireplaces for three+ days and many couldn't get enough gas pressure to run thier fireplaces.
We hit a record low temp where I live.
Obama shut down several gas plants and several more are still on the chopping block thanks to that prick.
Not sure why I took you off, but you're going back on ignore.

Yes everyone lives where you do with few trees and no propane or plants tanks next to the house.
Metric shit ton of wood and gas here. That’s part the point generalizations are stupid, your thoughts and situations aren’t the rule.
Grown men putting people on ignore lol
Grown men don’t use ignore, that’s for snowflakes who can't even handle scrolling past comments they don’t like, let alone debate them
Cooper is better than shit PVC, but much harder to work with and price point wise makes no sense in the age of pex, which is even stronger, super easy to work, and strong while being flexible
Not always, I’ve seen just as many issues with copper. Pex is newer to the wider market though and not as widely used. It’s been around but it wasn’t a great option until the last I can’t remember exactly how long. They were having problems with it even when it started getting more widely used.
The only issue I’ve seen with pex is not using the crimper and just using sharkbites for permanent installations, but even there it was rare to get a drip, going with crimped pex, and having some spare lengths and sharkbites on hand “just incase” it’s really hard to beat that.
That’s what I’m sayin though the crimps have become popular now, but before they would expand it and use barbed fittings and cross their fingers. Most houses with problems aren’t the new ones fully piped with pex, because they were built before it got big. Shit changes over time, but pvc still isn’t shit that’s an opinion, there’s just better options. It’s crazy how long pvc has worked well when ran properly and insulated before. It was more often someone breaking it than it failing when we fixed it. Even when it did randomly break it usually had some retard put it together flexed awkwardly or not glued properly.

Work in a pinch but meh. I’m old school. Soldering and glue isn’t wizardry great in some situations though from what I hear. Never messed with them just know what I’m told.Shark bites?
I had one joint when I re did my last house, just couldn’t get in there to crimp it, ended up having to use a shark bite, figured it beats major surgery and if it drips it would only damage the area I would have had to pull out to get a crimp on it anyways, had the house for about 2yrs after that before I sold it, never dripped.
Nah that's bullshit. Texas is an awful place and no one should visit ever.
If I owned Texas and Hell, I'd live in Hell and rent Texas out.
I haven’t been mad, it’s just a game. Talking shit is fun.
Fuck it in that case, you’re gone. Any of it can fail if not one properly, and any of it can outlast us.
A couple of places in the 40+ year old copper water line under my cabin burst after the thaw but it only had one piece of old foam tube protecting it. I replaced it with the nylon plastic gas line type hose that supposedly will balloon but not break.
It’s polyethylene, pex is modified polyethylene sort of the same. My buddy had a major leak on his well and was freaking out, told him watch it for a day before you spend any money. His was expanded and placed on barbed fittings, magically it fixed itself. Helps with water hammers too.
@TexPatriot no clue if the gas line is still water safe though. Let us know if your asshole falls off.

People should be able to argue, antagonize, call names, and move on. It’s stupid to get mad about dumb shit, have fun then it’s over.
It wasn't the actual yellow gas line but red, but I assumed made out of the same material. A pro came and fixed my leaks and thats what he used.
I had it temporarily Obama rigged with pieces of heater hose and hose clamps.
As a Texan i have to agree with this. Unfortunately the politicians don’t care about Texas. They care about fleecing Texas. The carpet bagger West is a prime example.
You are correct Perry and his crew wanted to lure as many tech companies out of California as he could with taxpayer giveaways and create a new version of Silicon Valley here. It would be called Silicon Hills.
