The only people who win when values go up across the board are the manufacturers and the ones who collect the sales tax.

The goal of the strike is for the union employees to be compensated as the non-union miners. So what is the purpose of the union? Clearly, the non-union miners have it better. 

The real crime here is being a part of the union. Their goal is literally to have similar pay and benefits as the non-union mine. What is the point of the union if you have it worse than the non union?

I posted this on the original question, but apparently was late. Here it is anyway.

While our car has not stranded us anywhere, it is unreliable in the sense that in the 2 years that we have owned it, it has been in the shop for ONE YEAR AND 5 MONTHS, and counting. It is a 2018 Buick Regal tourx that has had a flickering display since the first week we had it. The dealer has replaced, according to…

The difference is that YOU stop when the police attempt to pull you over because YOU are not a violent criminal with something to hide. A driver who doesn’t pull over almost certainly has something to hide. Not many people run from police for the thrill of it. A person who runs probably has a warrant out for their…

Finally, there’s...Sonos. Sonos has cornered the market on easy to set up 5.1 systems that you can build up at your own speed and that will sound as good as the big fancy custom setups

This rootzle2 dude is just trying to prop himself up by bringing others down. He sees no reason, and relies mostly on personal attacks. It’s not worth your brainpower

Ah, yes, 4v per cylinder is the number one most important metric to measure an engine’s merit. A fact, indeed. If emissions is your key point, nobody should have a v8, anyway. 

I get you. I agree they look out of place in a garage where money seems to be a surplus, but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t taking advantage of free cabinets from a makeover.

I’ll admit that I am not a tool box aficionado, because why would I be, but that appears to be craftsman or rebranded craftsman, as far as I can tell. Not exactly a ridiculously expensive box. In fact, cheaper than $1000!

What’s stupid, idiotic, and stubborn is failing to see the merit in a common, reliable, easily fit engine. Engines are not raced on stands, they are raced in cars which have packaging limitations, weight limitations, etc. HP/L is a cool metric to measure certain aspects of an engine, but is not the final word in…

It hurts my head that multiple people seem unable to deduce this on their own.

Nobody builds kitchen cabinets for a garage. Those are almost certainly kitchen tear outs from a remodel

Man, that is a weird critque. 

Of all things, are you seriously criticizing him for not wasting thousands of dollars on snap on? Snap on boxes are for techs who can’t figure out how to manage money to save their lives.

This seems in line with, or cheaper than, all of the other SSs that I currently see listed. Low mileage examples are in the 30s to 40s and those nearing 100k are in the mid-to-high 20s.

So you’re saying that we shouldn’t try because things cost money?

Of course there is an exception, as there always is. I am not talking down on Honda in any way, but to think that most Honda buyers see them as anything more than an appliance is foolish. Yes, there are enthusiasts, as with literally any brand or car (even Morris Marinas!), but the VAST majority of honda buyers just…

Well that’s partially because people do not do it often enough to be good at it. Also, if they are slow at backing in, they are probably also pretty slow at backing out. Backing in takes a lot of situational and spatial awareness, both of which are far more important for SAFE backing out
