Last year they stopped recycling glass in our area.

“Had we done it right from the beginning, it’s possible America could’ve had a high-speed passenger rail network the way Europe or Japan does.”

Heh. Could have used one of these when working on Toshiba laptops. Seemed like no matter how careful you were taking one apart and labeling everything - there were always screws left over, and sometimes it seemed like there were more than you started with.

“Just because you read it in a magazine/Or see it on the TV screen/Don’t make it factual,”  

By the wake, it looked the engines were in full reverse - it took a while to spin up of course, and... well, they were just a BIT too close... 

They’re for the ‘motoring enthusiast’. Which means you’d better be enthusiastic about either spending 10% of the cost of the car per year on shop maintenance, or be an expert mechanic yourself.

Oh, hell yeah. Son’s driving a 2002 Honda CRV that has almost 200k on it, DESPITE what he’s done to it. The strut replacement didn’t go as easily as it looked on Youtube.

Because YOU, unlike the former Playmate model, have two working brain cells to rub together.

It depends. We were on vacation in Arizona once in midsummer pre-cellphone. Saw a ratty van by the side of the road, hood up, people in the van with the doors open. We weren’t on a busy highway.

I’ll agree - the pre 2014s didn’t look that good.  What do you think of the 2014 to 2019 styling?

“Buut it’s NATURAL!!!”

Looks more like half, at most.

This isn’t the first time their ballot’s been fucked up. Or the second.

Priorities. The Subway’s been working for a hundred years now. It obviously doesn’t need much in the way of maintenance or upkeep when that money can be used for FAR more important things.

Back in the day you didn’t have the MMR vaccine. Smallpox, IIRC, wasn’t administered until you were around ten or so, or that’s when I got it in the ‘60s I think. But I had measles, mumps, chickenpox and german measles (rubella).  I made sure my son had HIS vaccines on schedule, and if there’s some way I could have…

Antigrav.  And space travel.

“But wait, there’s MORE! - if you ORDER NOW you’ll get TWO for the price of ONE! And we’ll throw in FIVE FREE Bodypart Attach Kits!”

Fuck ‘em. They act as if once you vote for a particular party, that’s it - you’re locked solidly into the particular party ideology for life and nothing they’ll do will ever make you change your vote.

I’ll admit it’s giving me severe pause on whether I’ll ever vote for a Dem again. Yeah, he’s not a ‘traditional’ politician, but I’m thinking by the results he’s getting (Economy hot, trade deals being negotiated, NK announcing Friday they wanted to denuclearize by the end of 2020, which may be bullshit but... wow...)…

Which is why we have the electoral college. There’s 51 separate elections for President, not just one. This is so California and New York and Florida can’t decide for the rest of the country - the other states have a say also. Hell, my son lives in a state that has fewer residents than the county I live in here in the…
