Counterpoint on a car with 200k the transmission or engine might catastrophically fail before you need to replace the other wheel bearing. I typically replace as needed with old vehicles unless it is a cheap part in a difficult location that is next to a part that I am fixing.

in about 3 to 4 years.

this is why I started doing my own oil changes again. I can afford to have someone else do it, but I would rather do it right.

Worse, Northwest Minnesota!

18 degrees Fahrenheit sounds pretty damn nice to me. it sounds silly that you think 18 degrees F is terribly cold weather. we wont see above 0 all of next week.

Poutine is French Fries from Red potatoes Not russets or white, cheese curds, gravy.

I saw 2 Dunkirk and Baby Driver and both are less than to be desired.

Gaurdians’ of the galaxy is the better movie in the “favorite Mix tape as a soundtrack” genre

Star wars sucks! it’s been done way too many times and has 0 creativity to keep it fresh in new. Unless you are 10 year old boy who has never seen the original series, you have no business getting excited about these terrible movies!

A high of 18 degrees? That’s Tshirt weather :)

It’s so cold up here in January and February that they close the carwashes (typically -10 F and below) because they are cant keep the equipment warm enough when they open and shut the doors.

sri-ra-CZHAAAZAAH goes great on Peet-SUH in Minnesot-AH!

Did you have a Jimmy’s Pizza? if not I gaurantee you had a Happy Joes close by.

not even close.

You have to be a minimum 4 beers in and drink 2 more with the pizza.

I am not a lawyer, so that is not going to happen.

Or just be competent and not have to worry about getting fired :)

if that were the case people would be let go left and right in this state without any more than a kick in the ass on the way out their door. However that is not the case, they are given reasons as to why their employment was terminated just like everywhere else in the country.

Why? A company can lock you out during the next round of union negotiations, Hire temporary replacement workers, and than hire new employees at a fraction of the cost under company friendly terms.

So right to work is not right to work? Yes in theory they can simply fire you for anything. BUT in reality they need a valid reason to fire you, otherwise they could be facing a lawsuit.
