Same manufacturer, different part number.

You're not wrong, just lacking context. Most people can't afford, or don't want to pay for quality items. They want what they need for the lowest price possible.

Big box stores cater to these people. They stock the lower quality items. They also stock higher quality items, but either in lesser quantities or by special order.

This isn't an LPT. Its your personal issue with Home Depot.

Where would you suggest purchasing these various items. That would have been a better tip. " item x is better quality when purchased through x establishment.

All of the items you list come from several different manufacturers and are sold through Home Depot, Lowes, etc. Some brands are cheaper quality, some are better.

It also seems that you have an issue with parts being plastic instead of metal, which I agree with, but is the world we live in. Plastic is cheaper. Also, when it fails, the manufacturer has a repeat customer. We mostly don't repair things like we used to. Even when it is a simple repair.

First of all, it's their, not there.

Contrary to some people's beliefs, declaring yourself independent from the US doesn't actually help you. Sovereign citizens, American nationals, and Moorish try this often.

US law still applies to all their citizens and to all non citizens within their jurisdiction.

Declaring yourself as an independent only opens you up to all laws from every nation everywhere. This really only becomes an issue on the high seas as that's the only real place that people are without a jurisdictional government.

Without a large following, declaring independence is futile.

Great answer, till you said breaks🤦.

Breaks on a vehicle are bad and should be repaired.

Brakes on a vehicle are necessary and should not break.

The site does not say before or first. You all keep adding this.

Possibly. Although I think calling 911, the dispatcher hitting the speed dial for the Railroad, and the RR stopping trains would be quicker in most cases than the motorist getting out of their vehicle, looking for the phone number, calling the phone number, attempting to find and give the necessary information and eventually getting the trains stopped.

Going through dispatch takes a very short amount of time.

1. Yes the RRs do own it all, several different RRs with several different phone numbers.

2. True they use a phone, they have the number preprogrammed and can call it and get through in seconds.

3. Sort of. 911 calls the RR to stop trains. It is a quick process. I've done it several times.

4. Mostly, yes, but RRs also get hoaxes. They will confirm information from a private citizen while they will immediately halt trains with a call from LE.

5. False, dispatchers often start tow trucks prior to LE being on scene when crmircumstances dictate.

6. Yes there are phone numbers on a sign. 911 is still easier and faster.

7. FMCSA does not say call the RR first. You and others are adding this. It says call 911 if you don't have the RR number. 911 is easier and quicker in most cases.

There are numerous reasons your logic is flawed here.

1. Railroads, tracks and trains are owned by different companies.

2. 911 has a direct line to all of the RRs in their jurisdiction

3. 911 can easily and quickly stop RR traffic.

4. RRs may not stop traffic based on a phone call from a random person, but will for a 911 dispatcher.

5. 911 can stop the trains, get a tow truck enroute and an officer to direct traffic, all on less time than you can navigate calling the RR and getting to the correct person.

6. 911 is easy and a number people already have memorized.

7. Calling 911 is also the recommended action by every train company and emergency service. They also recommend calling the RR emergency number if you are able to find it.

They have a number for this. 911.

The flip side of this is that making your bed after waking traps dust and other bacteria in your bed. Leaving the bed unmade allows it to air out throughout the day.
