How about this: are you an asshole all the time? Why not try to not be an asshole? Why not try not being a troll? Those are questions for you to answer on your own, no need to post your results. Just do better.

1) Thank you for those kind words.

I’m thinking more this:

All of the greats from that generation were also World War II veterans, some of them in combat. It is impressive and humbling that Mr. Lear survived so many air combat missions in service to our country when so many others were lost.

Watching “Sanford And Son” is one of my earliest, non-cartoon show memories. Norman Lear was truly as great as they come in the world of TV and film. His death really makes me sad because he is of the Mel Brooks/Carl Reiner generation of great comedy in all its forms—creating, writing, acting, directing, producing. Mel…

Counter-point: those second- and third-tier shows are awesome, kids and fans love them, and the vehicles build up plenty of speed to provide good action. And in more rural areas, those are the only shows available.

I worked beer sales at a local county fairgrounds during a second- or perhaps third-tier monster truck rally. It wasn’t the big name trucks but they had maybe six monster trucks doing their thing, a pre-event paid meet-and-greet with drivers and riders, some beater car dirt races plus a pretty decent motocross stunt…

Counter-point: every box of Cheerios is already stale. That’s the real scandal.

Right on the money, Polysyllabic.

Not just “complicated” but as a genuinely loving father, Joe wants to help Hunter have the best life possible. Is having a Raptor the right thing? Well, objectively, no. But helping one’s offspring* obtain presumably reliable transportation? Yes.

How did you reach that conclusion? The article doesn’t state breed or size of the dog and the two photos showing dogs are stock Getty Images photos.

Bros in their bro-dozers with oversized, non-winter tires thinking they can just blow past everybody on two-lane roads. Check yourselves before you wreck us all!

Oh! I never had it, I thought they were still around. No matter for me, I ditched cable altogether back at the beginning of May and haven’t looked back. And, as a fan of the series for almost 40 years (pre-Rossi!), I need the MotoGP VideoPass.

Yeah, I’m going to put the flat fixer and jumper cables back in (with some flares and miscellaneous), as well as a sleeping bag and back country snow shovel and some water (which may or may not freeze). Of course, I always have a selection of snacks in the car!

Yeah, some MotoGP races are shown on NBCSN (“Sports Network”) which is included in a lots of expanded cable packages or sports packages. For the hardcore fan (hi!) the only real choice in the US is the MotoGP VideoPass which goes for a whopping $153.25 for 2024 (per the exchange rate on 139.90 Euro the day I renewed…

I’m still a die-hard Hamilton fan (not the musical! Musicals are terrible! Fight me on that!). I wonder if Mercedes will give Lewis the car he needs to beat the Red Bulls in 2024?

Maybe “normal people” don’t, but you actually are going off-road so it seems you’re properly prepared (although I didn’t see “gallons of water and sleeping bags” but I bet you do!).

Seemed like if you’re going to go for a Range Rover you’d maybe also want to have the basic tools to deal with something like a slow leak.

My 1976 Korean-built bicycle had...TEN SPEEDS! And I was a f@#king maniac on that thing!

Well, you can do it with a bicycle pump but you better have great upper-body fitness. I did it once, discovering that it took countless strokes of the pump to get the tire up to the correct air pressure. I would do it again in an emergency with one of the stand-up type pumps (they move a lot more air per stroke) but…
