Good point.

Shut off the water or you’ll have frozen pipes (and a big mess).

Hey, she’s a “bioethicist and adjunct professor of ethics” - cut her some slack.

I guess it’s a metric system thing.

Propane tanks are only certified (in the US) for 12 years from date of manufacture. After that you either need to get it recertified or replace it (much easier).

You do realize that there are refillable pods that don’t pollute (and bonus, they allow you to use your own freshly ground coffee).

Seriously...where will this all end?

What they really need is some way to harness the actual engine output, a la a tractor PTO generator. Dynamometer type setup, maybe.

If you have a tractor (who doesn’t?), you can get a generator which hooks onto the PTO and will run your entire house.

When I was a kid some other kid told me to say “grapefruit” if you want to prevent an upcoming sneeze. Ever since then I’ve said it backwards, “turf-parg,” when trying to entice a reluctant one to come out. Sometimes it works.

Most if not all of these are applicable to any buyer/seller negotiation.

Highly recommended:
