What does Hillary have to do with this?

One of the big drivers that enabled the rise of the Nazi party was that the Allies absolutely obliterated the economy of Germany after the war. They were the winners so they dictated terms of surrender to the Germans, and the surrender terms were bad. That economic stagnation led to the rise of Hitler.

I’m not worried about China bombing us, or not selling us iPhones. Look at it like this, tell me how this advances our interests in the region. What we want is China to stop building islands and get along better with its neighbors, this doesn’t really accomplish any of that, it doesn’t even improve our relationship…

This will put him on the radar of a few college scouts, he’s committing sexual assault at at least a Junior level while still in High School.

Thing is though, we don’t pretend they don’t exist, the only thing that really upsets China is if we acknowledge their Government, which we just did. All this seems very silly to the average person, but this is just how these things work.

Yes. This is how International diplomacy works, it’s a little ridiculous, but everything stands on protocol.

This right here is the truth. When people cry about the UN being a one world government, when it’s main purpose is to keep everyone at the same negotiating table, so when there’s an incident there are are already channels open, to avoid armed conflict

There was an older gentleman working as an observer at my polling place challenging voters as they came in and demanding to see identification. Oddly, out of the 12 voters that passed through while I was there, he only stopped the two black ladies, they ended up sending an official monitor after a few complaints. Here…

I don’t think it’s the same if the Toyota has only one planetary, the volt uses 2 plus 2 drive motors.

Hold the pedal to the floor and shot into drive, it’ll either wait until you let off the throttle to shift, or close the throttle. You almost can’t hurt a modern car like that

As a guy that works on GM transmissions at a dealership, the 4L60 isn’t the end of valve bodies, even with modern solenoid packs the valve body is still the same, they just use the solenoids to cycle line pressure on and off to the solenoids. They even still have accumulators

That’s how the Volt works, they use Drive Motor B to vary the ratio

It’s not really a gift horse though, I know I pay for prime.

Someone else mentioned that it’s all about skating, that’s most of it to be honest. Look at the best players, Gretzky and Lemieux both had excellent seasons at 19.

Had to star this. When I worked in the oil field we hired a replacement for my old manager and he was a Canadian, I never realized it was an accent you could lay on thick before that. I always just assumed it was “eh’s” and “Soorys”, until I heard real Canadian gibberish like that, it’s like poetry.

They call the fuel door release switch a “fuel fill request”. When you hit the button it opens the vent valve to release pressure before it unlocks the fill door. The only reason for that is because on a normal vehicle they purge fuel vapor into the running engine to manage pressure, since the ICE doesn’t always run…

90% is waaaaaaaay high. I’ll admit my sample size at the dealership isnt balanced, but most of these trucks are sold to commercial users, they aren’t going to bother with deleting emissions components

And that’s what’s so frustrating about it, Democrats do a better job of helping people, but it’s such complicated policy they just ended up voting for the loud guy that blamed everyone

I think this is an important distinction. Not everyone that voted for Trump is a racist, but most racists voted for Trump. There are plenty of people that voted for him because he was successful in telling them that other people were to blame for their problems.

That knock on American dealers is sliding away. the Chevy/Buick/Caddy dealer I work at has 6 Cadillacs, 4 Buick and 12 Chevy loaners on hand, plus Enterprise. We don’t even employ a full time shuttle driver, if someone needs a ride the service porter takes them home in our service directors demo.
