@dig_with_kyle It's not just that, every machine will break. EVERY machine. How good is your support network? How quickly can you get parts? Do you have strong service techs? Every machine will go down, who is going to get you back up and running fastest? That's the brand you should buy.

Here is my comment to the china excavator guys: Love the video and the positive side to saving a few bucks on a machine. I’ve been selling name brand excavators for many many moons and I always wonder on these things but honestly don’t see the business case. Have you done the math on productivity? I can tell by your video the machine is quite slow in comparison and I’m sure your ears are ringing. But it gets the job done… Example - 6 hour job, 30% efficiency is 2 hours. 2 hours per day by your 100 day math would be 200 hours. How many additional digs can you do with 200 hours? Is that 4 weeks of projects? 5? Your payback on a productive machine could be achieved in less than one year. 10k vs 30k - 20k / 1-3 or 4 small jobs in an extra week. Productivity over cheap all day long! Good luck! BTW if I hired you to do my landscaping and you showed up with that thing that was basically the equivalent to a champion generator at a campsite… you better be the cheapest guy in town. (I think you get the picture I’m just painting it.)

I very randomly ended up in a limo ride with Alex with @TimKennedyMMA in Albania after we left Afghanistan. Tim told him that he needs better security because we could have killed him and he asked Tim if he was planning killing him. Tim said no and then we had a pizza. #memories

BREAKING: George Soros' son, Alexander Soros, warns that another pandemic could occur if RFK Jr.'s agenda leads to a major overhaul of federal agencies. Elon Musk replied to him and called it a scamdemic.

@Dave_Parke Somebody told me they said, "thank you for support" and I have been running with that for years.

How do you respond to “thank you for your service”? It’s always awkward for me. I generally just say “thank you” because they went out of their way to acknowledge it.

@bigfreeze86688 It's honestly all ok. It's a cliche to veterans, but usually because we're not really sure how to respond to it. A lot of us, it was just our duty. Just something we volunteered to do. Doesn't make us better, and some feel a little awkward about it. But gratitude is never bad.

@Dave_Parke As a 2LT PL, one of my E6 had a BSM/v denied because "he already has one". I responded very sarcastically, "so you can't be valorous twice?" and then I got in trouble

@Ranger_Up And yet if you look at all the consulting contract boards, almost all contracts want a former MBB. I literally had a client tell me, "I wanted an MBB, but [Name] insisted you were the guy. If we had gone my route, this project would have failed."

Never hire a big 3 consultant. A story as old as time.

@Dave_Parke The only way to deal with conspiracy theorists is to outdo them in the conspiracies. "The earth is flat" "You believe in the Earth? Bitch this is a simulation."

He caught me. I guess there’s no point hiding it now. I was on the grassy knoll.

@Dave_Parke @KTantoP Right back at you, bro. At least I got something you don’t! HONOR! You know it was a set up. You know those keystone cops are not real secret service. You know patsy was in a Blackrock commercial and was atop Blackrock owned business. Are you in on this, bro?

Look, if Biden were to resign and name Harris President right now, then all that Trump "47" gear would be hilariously outdated

Ever since that night, every time I hear any song from that album, I'm transported immediately back to the 10,000 ft mountain and the creativity we had to have to survive 4/4

@TheIOGuy He edited in a way to make it seem like Jeffries was complaining that only citizens could vote. The few seconds before he basically says that it's already a law that only citizens can vote. His statement is the only purpose of the bill is to jam up people that can already vote
