I would literally trample you on my way to the dealer if that was available Stateside.

In the U.K. and as very well known in Australia is the tray ute.

I know its cool on Jalopnik to hate on crew cab trucks, but we sure enjoy ours. Its real nice to have a vehicle that can haul my family while also hauling furniture from marketplace, an old fridge to my parents, 2 dirt bikes on a weekend, all of my wife’s trade show booth & inventory, and tow our small camper trailer…

Stop talking about these small trucks! We need everyone to forget these exist! Please, everyone… go out and buy that mega macho F450 with a 12” lift and armor plating.

Trucks aren’t trucks anymore, but lifestyle vehicles. Look at your examples. Not only are the beds higher, they are dramatically shorter. There are a couple extended cab pickups left that have decent bed lengths, but most trucks are 4 door vehicles today and you can’t fit a bicycle easily in the bed with the tailgate…

You can also thicken it with instant potato flakes. And a super lazy way to make the crust is to just smash a couple pieces of white bread and butter them a bit.

“You could hear them giggling the whole time”

Senator Sasse at least had the decency to point out the “jackassery” of his colleagues, noting that they were basically mugging for the camera. These clowns are literally checking to see if they are trending as soon as they finish their “questioning”. And the right wing youtubers are falling all over themselves with…

Yeah, the GOP went all out with their “This black woman is going to answer for all the things I don’t like about black people”... hell, they were basically saying they wouldn’t support her because people they don’t like, who she has no association or affiliation with, also support her.

I get he could have “misunderstood” the question, but when the words “interracial marriage” came up, you’d think his ears should perk up a bit and he’d pay attention, as the guy to repeat it, etc. Sure, he’s trying to make a broader issue about states rights, but I would think that when those words came up, he’d make…

Exactly. This is the real bedrock under the otherwise completely-irrational insistence that the 2020 election ‘was stolen’. They genuinely believe that any and all election results that put anyone but the ‘right people’ in power cannot be legitimate... because the ‘right people’ would ONLY vote for them.

Great comment, and I’d like to add one more thing that Putin and Hitler failed to account for: American manufacturing

“Turn on the seat warmers Sergei, we go to drive the Russians into the sea!!”

Anyone who wants to have their mind blown, and understand a lot of the context around the Russia-Ukraine war, should spend some time studying the Eastern Front in WWII. There are a ton of great resources out there, but my person favorite is Dan Carlin’s “Ghosts of the Ostfront” series as part of the Hardcore History…

Aldi’s is your friend.  I find that I need to use the produce sooner than from other stores but they have a lot of high quality products and the prices are usually excellent.

The Canadian Indigenous people who have protested would like a word with anyone who thinks rural Canadians are all that different from rural Americans.

Petulant little children. And yes, it gets more and more ridiculous what they are being allowed to get away with.

Agreed. One of the most amazingly stupid things I’ve experienced is when a team will design their subsystem to a certain price target, but that design makes two interfacing subsystems more expensive. The whole car would have been cheaper if they’d have made their subsystem more expensive, but then they get yelled at…
