I take you saw the Tucker Carlson interview with Bill Nye where Tucker was trying to say that he thinks climate change is real, but we don’t know how much humans contribute so we can ignore it. He pressed Bill to give the percentage of climate change that humans are causing. This is both a ridiculous and misinformed…

You sound bitter about the child tax credit. You know you could have kids and get it right? But just so you know, it doesn’t really put a dent in child care costs or the cost of raising a child to age 18.

So is your experience that they don’t buy our cars out of spite? We really don’t make any cars that suit their market that I’m aware of. Why would they buy something that doesn’t suit their needs? American manufacturers are good at big trucks and SUVs since that’s their target market. If they can’t make a car to suit…

You don’t buy Japanese vehicles because they don’t buy ours? You must have a better reason than that. The Camry is more American than most cars from the Big 3. Who cares what cars people in another country buy?

Yeah I missed that. Good catch. I have no idea what that is then.

Is the cross member cracked just below the muffler on the left side of the picture? There’s some kind of dark line right there.

Check Engine Light? I see oil, coolant, and headlights. CEL is the only other one I can’t clearly see so that must be it.

Yeah I have a Forester with the blue coolant temp light at startup. The rental Mirage had a green level light though. And the level was well below the minimum line. I just thought it was funny that they didn’t even want to mess with it and upgraded me for free instead.

I rented a Mirage once, for about 3 minutes. I had it long enough to scrape the frost off the windows and start it. The coolant level light came on so I popped the hood to check the overflow tank and it was low. Went inside to ask the rental agent for some coolant and they upgraded me to a Hyundai instead. I still…

Would you run an extension cord from your driveway into your house if you were expecting several feet of water to be there in the coming days? That’s a good way to win a Darwin award.

Da Claw! I’ll definitely check them out. I had no idea that was a thing. 

What is an insurance mutual and how do I find one?

This is definitely the banks treating customers like crap. I have paid ahead on car loans before and even once had a lump sum from a cancelled warranty applied to my loan. My due date showed that I didn’t have to make a payment since I was ahead and they didn’t act like I was behind on payments if I didn’t make one.…

Helen Keller was a communist. When she learned to read her caretakers gave her lots of communist propaganda. Fascism/communism were both more prevalent than people realize.

I hated working part time in high school. The government rules about how many hours counted for full time benefits kept changing. It got to the point where they wouldn’t let me work more than 28 hours a week so I wouldn’t qualify for benefits. That’s why people work 2 or 3 jobs. You have to if you want to get to 40+…

A used car lot in my town recently had a ‘14 Tacoma, 4 door long bed with 28k miles. They wanted $32k for it. Someone must have bought it because it’s gone now. I have no idea how anyone could justify that price.

I don’t recall having to log any hours. I did take driver’s ed though. I do remember that I couldn’t get my license until a month after I turned 16. I’m not sure how being 16 and 1 month would be any better than being 16.

Or you can leave an extra 40 minutes early since you know it will take that much longer? I’m also on board with more public transportation. 

All the states that have legalized it have pot shops that anyone over 21 can buy from. As long as you don’t take it across state lines no DEA officer is going to hassle you over it. I guess it all comes down to state’s rights though. 

I got this for Christmas as a kid! It must have been the most annoying toy in the world. You could flip the front axle over like the cyclone on the sticker. It was so damn loud haha. I took it outside in the spring to make some sweet jumps and one of the wires got disconnected. I was a kid and didn’t know how to…
