I hope we will be rational again in a couple years. It took trials and decades of divided Germany to mostly fix the scourge of Nazism. We might have to ban all MAGA speech and symbols, which would be an interesting Constitutional challenge.

Every day it seems. If he isn't a true billionaire by now then he is even dumber than I thought, and/or his minions are stealing stolen money from him.

Yeah, it's not like the news outlets are eavesdropping in private offices. They are just attending events and press conferences, Information the administration is choosing to make public.

if Israel wasn't committing atrocities, then we wouldn't be talking about Israel committing atrocities.

I'm no military strategist, but normally if a country threatens to take over your territory you don't let them build military bases there.

That's sorta what I think most of it is. The prices are bad but overall pretty minor compared to so many other things.

I would pay $10 per gallon if ICE would go the fuck home and the detainees be released.

They can quit using his name too, "the president" is enough. Just like it would be better not to name school shooters, don't name this president who craves any sort of attention.

Cash is the only safe answer. Everything else can be reversed or manipulated. $6000 cash can fit in a letter envelope. I sold a car for $8000 and received cash.

If you can get the item back on a pallet, strapped down, it can likely be shipped for $400 or so by companies like Estes. They would need to be able to get a big truck with a liftgate near the item and roll a pallet jack on a smooth surfaxe like concrete. I would make the buyer arrange their own shipping though, let the liability be on them.

At this rate we might see some justice in 10 years.

I will never forgive those in Congress for failing to stop this

Exactly this, we all eat and poop and sleep and seek comfort and acceptance. People are the same at a basic level.

Someone remind me what Cuba is guilty of? Being Communist?

I hate to heap more doubt on an already crazy world, but paper towels say things like "strong" and "absorbent" and "more sheets", but they don't say anything about being clean or sterile. Yet we use them that way.

YouTube link to exact part

Heard this song on Top Gear, S03E09. It is an instrumental song by Gianfranco Plenizio from the early 1970s.

But the linked section of the song (38 seconds to about 59 seconds) sounds just like a newer song that's on the tip of my tongue, I thought it was an instrumental remake of the newer song.

The newer song with the same tune had vocals and I think is a rock song. I think the lyrics are something like "This blah blah love blah me everywhere, I only wanted you to know." Feels like from the 1980s or 1990s.

I recently helped a friend change a tire on a ~2014 F-150. The spare tire is under the bed of the truck, and we discovered to access it you unlock an access plug from the rear bumper, stick a rod in the hole (heh), and crank it to lower the tire down on a cable from a winch-type assembly.

I never knew that was a thing, how long have pickups been like that and do all pickups have spare tires on a cable/winch?
