Rub-n-Tug. It kept me going between girlfriends. A little human contact for not a huge amount of money.

If you schedule maintenance, you can broadcast far in the future that you’ll be running half as many trains on certain nights because of track closures. People can be reasonable if given enough warning. It’s the unscheduled outages that fuck you in terms of public perception.
You’d think there’d be interest in the drivetrain and suspension setup for the Beetle 4x4. Fabbing new pieces to retrofit existing Beetles might be a possible business.
My girlfriend, a trained confectionaire/baker, would disagree with the salt advice. To her, adding salt to sweet desserts is an abomination. She first encountered this when she moved to the US and she still doesn’t understand it.
Alternative headline:
So their plan is to deport people who are here legally? After they run out of illegals?
They already own the double tracks. They already employ the maintenance crews. It’s simply a matter of planning and scheduling. Unless union work rules are getting in the way of having them work from 11PM to 5AM or are they so fucked for funds they can’t pay for replacement parts? That doesn’t seem credible.
You have multiple tracks and you do your maintenance at night/off-peak.
If you live in the high desert in CA, you see this truck’s poor cousins running around with fucked suspension geometry and shitty body work. I often wondered how they managed to pass safety and emissions inspection.
Those prison guards aren’t going to fund their own pensions.
Good guy with a gun? Good guy with a gun.
As a reminder of what Paris will “accomplish”. Does nobody remember Copenhagen where the world refused to endorse binding GHG limits? Paris as a result was the fig leaf to hide the failure.
You left out “slave owning”.
So? If a religion has a substantial minority of its adherents who reject the Enlightenment, then we can make the rational choice to refuse to take them in. There are millions of Yazidis and Copts and other Christian refugees we can take instead. Immigration should not be a suicide pact.
Dollars to donuts, immigrants, refugees, or second generation.
I was forced into retirement at 50 because of a career-ending workplace accident. My bills get paid and it affords me a comfortable existence. I can’t even contemplate working because it will destroy my disability (SS and LTD).
The NRA spent $50 million, raised from its 5 million dues-paying members, to protect the individual constitutional right to self defense. Michael Bloomberg spent $50 million of his own money to create dozens of astroturf “grassroots” orgs to promote his singular vision of banning guns.
They (ICE) also weren’t subsidized by the government. They lived and died by their own innovation.
You can thank fracked natural gas supplanting coal for almost all of this.
