And what changed since you had good coverage? The Democrats surreptitiously passed Obamacare and lied to us continually about it regarding the ability to keep our plans and doctors. I don’t think Trumpcare/Ryancare/any more government involvement is the solution, as they are the reason for this country’s healthcare…

Don’t pretend the government, via the central reserve, eating the value of money at ~2.5% a year through inflation isn’t factoring into our current economic state.

The problem with building things in the US is often environmental regulations. There’s things too icky to make here, so we offshore the process and the pollution. Prime example: despite 65% of US law enforcement carrying Glocks, Glock’s tenifer treatment is done using chemicals banned in the US, and the superior…

I hate the lies built into the language regarding this issue. Healthcare isn’t going anywhere. Insurance plans may change. Nobody is keeping anybody from anything. Anyone not being up front about that is counting on using your ignorance to take advantage of you.

So far the fold-flat back seats are the only part they got right.

Without removable tops and doors, nothing will be a true Wrangler competitor for the average buyer. I’ll certainly concede that fact. But there’s a lot more to the offroad world than big-power full-size mud trucks and body-chopped 100:1 rock crawlers. Check out Overland Expo if you’re interested in some perspective.

I came here for the Biff Tannen reference. I was not disappointed.

As a carpenter, I don’t recommend doing any of these exercises to your door or frame. Maybe I’m mistakenly basing that on the fact that I have the strength you’d expect from someone who works with their hands for a living. Maybe I’m more foolish for suggesting you not do something that would give guys like me more…

Market correction is not a “bad place,” it’s simple economics. We had the tech bubble and the housing bubble. Next is the auto bubble and the student loan bubble.

Intentionally ignoring inconvenient facts is the same as lying. The math to “confirm” the wage gap is based on lifetime earnings, but disregards two important facts: women are more likely to work part-time and often work less over the course of their lives.

Reading through this list, we’re covered. We camp a lot and spend a lot of time outdoors. A lot of this stuff lives in a bag I carry daily, with some redundancies in the vehicle.

For OTC antibiotics, look up Fish Mox.

Yep, and we paid out to the tune of $8 for every $1 saved.

The electric motor of the starter turns the engine over. With an old enough Jeep or the right mods, you can propel the vehicle a short distance this way. #theoriginalhybrid

Is this the article you post when none of are your Jeeps are running, so you have to use someone else’s video instead of making your own? :-D

I just Googled “largest naval bases in the us” and learned something new. It appears the “biggest” bases are determined by the staff numbers, not the acreage, making Naval Station Norfolk top the list. It’s a little over 8 miles away. Yeah, I’m definitely fucked in this scenario.

One local place I know of was a post office, built in 1909, and is today a library. Another is an auditorium, built in 1955, now a performance venue. Both have large basement areas. The latter has a decal noting it was last inspected as a shelter in 1972.

Some places still have fallout shelter signs. Also, my garage has fallout shelter signs from some places...

There used to be a weekly car meet at a retro chrome diner. One of the regular participants had a ‘73 Cadillac convertible. The guy was a nut, and dressed like a Halloween pimp for the meets. Toward the end of one of the meets, he asked his wife to get something out of the trunk. When she did, he shot dual exhaust…

This sort of bullshit is why law needs to be judged on one simple factor: no victim, no crime. If you hit the cop or someone else, wrecked and damaged the curb, whatever, fine - then charge you with something. But going safely going about your business should never be a crime.
