I’m in no position to tell anyone how to drive a truck... but shouldn’t they keep these things straight at all costs? Does swerving to avoid an accident ever work in a truck?

Sure.

This is gross. Symptom of a peasant mentality “be grateful to the benevolent king!” How about some democracy where the people can be secure in their rights and welfare, and not dependent on the powerful for their wellbeing.

Negatives are proven all the time with logic, I hate that cliche. In fact it’s arbitrary what’s considered negative and what’s taken as positive.

Does Carmax charge dealer fees? I’ve had dealerships want to charge upwards of $1,000 in dealer fees on every car they sell, even some $7,000 used car. I find it very infuriating. I’d like to see a post discussing dealer fees in general.

Exactly, you have to haggle and fight just to get the non-sucker price, which is what they should offer everyone in the first place. Instead they assume the customer is naive, and try to take advantage of them first, before acting like they’re doing you a favor by selling the car at a reasonable price.

I’ve had those points get stuck between panels of metal in the dryer and then get scorched, leading to those marks.

I was a little shaky at first after many years of not having rode, but you get over it pretty quickly.

That happened to me once, though not at a check point. They wouldn’t give up on getting me to consent to a search. My favorite line was when they asked me “Why do you hate cops?” to try to rattle me when I had only been polite. They told me the dogs were on the way and made me wait around for half an hour. Finally…

Yea, that and the genocide of native peoples wasn’t exactly righteous either.

Perform this hollow, conformist ritual... or I’ll kick your ass... cuz freedom!

I recall Woody being a foil as well. The show seemed to be somewhat self-aware of the absurdity of the lines, and Woody called them out at times.

It should be illegal to refer to weiner dogs as anything other than weiner dogs.

I mean it’s possible to both get the flavors and eat the fruit I think. The strawberry simple syrup does sound good though.

If all you want is the juice from the fruit, then I think you might as well buy just the juice and cut out the middle man. I feel half the point of the fruit is to absorb the mixture so you can eat the infused fruit, which won’t happen if you muddle it. If you slice the fruit thin enough and let it steep for awhile…

Isn’t Rioja the traditional option for the red wine? My experience:

The notes on these articles and comments are good stuff. The discussions about the ingredients are what’s most helpful, since the recipe is just classic info you could find anywhere.

Yea, I think you’d need a 14% interest rate for this... good luck with that.

Why do these paragraphs get numbered? Drives me crazy. Seems totally pointless and reminds me of some misguided powerpoint presentation.

Nope. Pets aren’t children whether you have children or not. Pretending your pet is a baby sounds like an unhealthy coping strategy to me. But then again I haven’t been in that particular situation, please don’t let this humble internet commenter detract from your pet relationship. You can call them children, and I…
