Good heavens... A VW ? a Pinzgaur ? a 1970's vintage van ? Dude is going to need something reliable. So if he doesn’t want a Sprinter (and maint. on those is horribly expensive), then with his budget a used Ford Transit, Chevy Express/GMC Savana (if a low roof is OK), or a Ram Promaster of recent vintage is what he…

Most likely an ally of antifa or at the very least a mild supporter.

Fancy Kristen would make a delightful Fujiko...

Flew out of DFW on American last Thur. Airport claimed it req’d people to wear masks. About 1/3 weren’t and no one was enforcing that. American Airlines also said passengers req’d masks, but 25-30% on the plane weren’t using them. Flight attendants weren’t enforcing that either, as far as I could see.

Agree on the TaoTronics. Have a pair and they’re excellent for the price. Also good to hear that the Sennheisers have sound quality comparable to the wired 58x series (those are my favorite headphones of the several pair I own).

I work in a hospital as well, and this is the case. Some of our clinical people are being asked to work reduced hours as their patient population has dropped quite significantly...

BWAHAHAHA! (sorry, let me catch my breath...) BWAHAHAHA!

This somewhat “old” guy is definitely a Democratic Socialist (in any civilized Western European country, that would make me pretty middle of the road). 

Maybe I’m just a bit weird, but I always thought the Chevy Express / GMC Savana were nice looking cargo vans. Heck, I wish more Class B RV conversions* were avail on that platform (the last I know of were Roadtrek, now out of business, a mfg up in Quebec named Safari Condo, and Sportsmobile for a custom build).

Dodge (Ram) hasn’t sold re-badged Mercedes Sprinters in quite a while. The only Sprinters you’ll find w/o the Mercedes star in front are from Freightliner (which is owned by Daimler AG anyway).  

For the longest time, this is why I kept an iPhone SE. Size of an iPhone 5, but with the guts of a 6s. Easily fit in any pocket, incl. jeans. Still runs iOS 13.

Hey, I like a little junk in the trunk.

Absolutely. I heard Alton Brown interviewing a black gentleman once, his name escapes me, who’s a Southern food historian. They both referred to that situation as “the black hand in the kitchen” (since most larger Southern homes pre-emancipation had enslaved people as cooks and other kitchen help). Soul food is the lar…

Absolutely! Why do you think Southerners have been throwing stuff like smoked ham hocks into their green beans or collard greens since forever ? ‘cause it’s good.

About damn time. WAAAAY past time, actually.But hey...Oklahoma.

I’ve recently been catching up on the SF series Altered Carbon on Netflix, and there are characters in it referred to as “Meths” (short for “Methuselahs”) - obscenely wealthy, incredibly long-lived oligarchs. That Saudi price sounds like a real life Meth... 😲 🤬
