It’s less about tires are more about an extra couple inches of ground clearance and my willingness to get stuck somewhere with no cell reception and three small kids on board. I used to take my little ford ranger out creek-crawling with my Jeep-owning friends. Never got stuck too bad that I couldn’t work my own way…

Even after the vomit stage it’s sticky fingers, melted crayons, spilled drinks, muddy cleats, teenage BO,.... Give me hard plastic and vinyl floors until they are out of the house.

My minivan is lousy on gravel roads that are anything less than perfectly maintained. We do a lot of camping and getting back to a trailhead or USFS camp site can be tough in a minivan. I’ll look hard at one of these when they start to show up in the used market.

Perhaps not surprisingly, one of the fringe benefits of working at Amazon vs working at Walmart is not having to be fake friendly to customers, so that sword can cut both ways.

Father of twins. If you feed one at a time, the cycle of eat-burp-diaper never ends, because as soon as one is done, the other is awake and screaming. But two hold two babies plus hyper-extend your wrists around their heads to hold two bottles at just the right angle is agony. Flip nothing onto shoulders and cross…

That makes three of us olds out here on Giz. I miss 90s Slashdot.

I worked for the scouts for a number of years. We all hate that troop and every council has one.

It’s only goal is to sow chaos.

Good point, but correct me if I’m wrong, can’t Pence serve out Trump’s term then run for two more of his own?

Not yet. We need Trump around long enough to take Pence, McConnell, Rya and the rest of the GOP with him. They are going to try and jettison Trump ASAP so they can rewrite the story to say he was never their candidate. Don’t let them off that easy.

I’m sure his core supporters are still true believers, but at least from the redder branches of my family tree there has been pretty conspicuous silence lately. I think they are starting to get nervous. I wonder how well McConnell is sleeping tonight knowing Trump now has the nuclear codes.

Can you imagine being this guy’s grandchild deciding to write a school paper on dear old Gramps? This is going to be an embarrassing sting for generations.

I just dare any Republican to use the phrase “Family Values” ever again. May that expression finally drown in its own piss.

Once you start deciding who does and does not deserve a safe, decent place to live, other people will start to make that and decision about you. It was just the homeless who lived in unsanitary tenement housing, it was the working class too. In the richest country in the world we shouldn’t have to go backwards in…

Vladimir, I didn’t know you read FA.

Just say “oh, I’m sorry, I though you looked Jewish. Merry Christmas.” They won’t know whether to be insulted or glad to be in the comfort of a fellow bigot.

-gate is for your parents’ scandals. This, obviously, should be known as DickieLeaks.

I’ve run into a few people legitimately abusing system, but for more people stuck at the bottom because the system abused them. The most common example is having to choose between keeping and keeping your food stamps appointment. In a f ways, society likes to punish the poor as it helps them. Capitalism depends on…
