I’m not sure you understand how quick a 90's airframe can go to complete shit, especially if it’s served in Africa for any length of time.

There isn’t a claim being made that GG was behind it to begin with. Unless you have proof of that being the case. Do you have proof of that being the case?

This is a fair point from the WaPo piece:

Yeah, California is, surprisingly, a pretty good state for wrench-it-yourselfers. As long as you stay away from the emissions stuff, you won’t have problems. (Well, unless you have a Nazi HOA.) There’s plenty of car enthusiasts in my area of San Jose.

Los Angeles is such a mix that it really depends wherein the megalopolis you live. Trying to wrench in an apartment in Santa Monica or Downtown LA is basically impossible, as garages are rare and come at a premium. On the flip side, there are plenty of regular neighborhoods with houses and garages spotted all over LA.…

Huh? GA, SC, NC, VA has the same weather as CA?

So, that’s not true, even a little bit. I lived in Atlanta for 11 years before relocating to the bay area. There’s really no comparison in terms of weather and air quality. The south in general gets all of the shitty air from the midwest and northeast because of the gulf stream, and then it just sits there in a…

No, that’s the humidity belt. Not fun to be out wrenchin’ in that!

Yeah, screw that "having breathable air" thing. Only wish we could expand CA's reasonable standards to the rest of the country.

California. (for both)

Goddammit, why did this guy make me pause my music to tell me something I already knew? Why do men consistently underestimate the competence of women? Especially older men? Why is it a recurring theme in my life that men assume so much about what I am and am not capable of, instead of just asking?

The OEM mirrors on many sportbikes are often unuseable for seeing much other than you own reflection, so it’s not a matter of bad aftermarket mirrors.

it’s not wise to believe “it’s ok for cops to crack the skulls of people I don’t like,” ‘cos eventually they’ll find or be given a reason to crack your skull.

But this is exactly the entitled attitude that this piece shows is bogus. You’re acting the same wqay that some of these guys are: the idea that there’s no one good out there. It’s the OTHER gender’s fault and not your own.

That’s not true. I’m a french muslim woman and also have family in Germany and speak german. The right-wing in Germany does not blame every migrant nor refugee.
