“I wish more of the USA had the opportunity to travel and see how these supposedly ‘socialist’ constructs work.”

I mean fair, but in a vacuum “semi submersible tugboat” sounds more like some James Bond shit than what is in reality a glorified tow truck.

Even easier than that...

I thought this too for a second but it’s less interesting than what you’re thinking.

In Soviet Russia, bilge pumps you!

100%. This article is a great read.

No way on the Les Grossman front. That entire movie was a scathing satire, including that character. And, Tom Cruise actually had a lot to do with it.

Interesting, and thanks for taking the time to reply. I agree with your assessment given the broader perspective you shared, which seems to be missing (or incomplete at best) from Wikipedia which I admit to being my only source of information on her.

COTD

I don’t understand how she is any more important than myriad other ships during WWII. She was a troop transporter, not a destroyer involved in any legendary battles. Not being facetious, I’m genuinely curious if there’s something I’m missing here.

You mean the Loose Goose?

996s are appreciating, quite apart from the general craziness of the market today, and this is a good price especially today. Buy it, do the IMS fix, return it to stock (especially the exhaust and headlights), and you’ll absolutely be financially ahead in a few years.

Tbh this is always the answer for anything one has trouble finding.

Commensurate* salary. I think the salaries you and I both live on already allow us to commiserate about not being able to afford said jet.

And general warning labels on everything. If you need a warning to not drink bleach or reach under a running lawnmower, I’m not sure you should still be in the gene pool.

Private jets are all about time.

Not necessarily. Based on what I’ve seen that’s true of private apartments, but many vehicles and a lot of equipment were left behind.

As for the iPhone, thats a tired trope.

Nah, it’s going to take waaaaay longer than that. Keep in mind that not everyone can afford a new vehicle. We’re nowhere even close to a majority, let alone all, of new vehicle sales being EVs. Once we get to that point, maybe ~2035, it’ll take another 15ish years for most of the national fleet to “turn over.” So…

They can decline. With Cameo you sort of “request” the response and they have some time period to agree or decline, then a bit more time to fulfill. My fiancee got one (from a baseball player, emphatically not from anyone like this shitbag) for her dad last Christmas.
