I can’t believe I’m about to fucking say this, but I think David made a great purchase here.

You know what, this is actually a reasonable decision on your part and i endorse it for the literally nothing that means.

I’m not seeing any reason to believe that Haaland’s confirmation is in danger. Manchin has already supported it. I wouldn’t be surprised if Murkowski did too given the Native population in Alaska. As you say, Don Young is Haaland’s champion.

That’s the lakeside. Back before we realized we should be terrified of all the chemicals that get dumped into static bodies of water we used to go swimming in them. Like crazy people.

A level of innocence we may never return to.

I’ll take a stab at what caused the accident. Googled and this is the GV80's dash:

I dunno. The idea has promise, but I’m not sure it would really... deliver.

I had never heard of this, but turns out this is a semi-regular occurrence due to United using too small of a jet on some transatlantic flights.

So fatigue cracks are 100% on the maintance program implemented by the airline and not PW. PW tells them what to do, but its ultimately up to them to inspect.

It wasn’t just Harley, it was the dealers, too. I remember going into a local Harley dealer to look a Buell Ulysses. There was a Buell corner in the showroom. When I walked in, I was greeted by a salesman. As soon as I said that I was interested in a Buell, he walked away from me. I stood in that little corner for 15…

Strongly disagree. 2003-2009 was about the time that Triumph essentially revived their whole brand by doing exactly what Harley didn’t. The XB9/12 should have been competing with the Street/Speed Triple, and the Ulysses could have carved itself out a nice space in a rapidly growing ADV bike market.

Create a problem and then profit from the solution is a core GOP value.

Fuck no. I am so sick of Texas’ bullshit. They want to be their own country. They build a separate power grid because they don’t want to be under federal regulations. Their citizens routinely vote for Republicans and their privatization. So now they live in a state where a private fire department will watch your house…

Um, I’m in Michigan where it’s currently below zero (when the wind blows) and we routinely spend 5 months of the year COLD AF, we understand high utility bills. Many people have to get on payment plans that stretch out payments to manageability over the full year. Older, less well-insulated homes fare worse and…

Only a supervillain would name their company so close to Greedy

A bunch of people signed up to a super volatile tariff, which provides really low prices if the weather is stable, but if the weather veers to an extreme the price goes up super high, super fast. If there is high demand, due to heat needing everyone to run their AC full for any extended period of time, or demand due…

You missed the best part. One of the companies profiteering off this disaster is Comstock Resources, owned by Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.

Who could have predicted that climate change-induced weather unpredictability, the “free” market, and “go it alone” stubborn individualism would be such a dangerous combination? Besides anyone with a functional neocortex, that is.

“Look here, I left my body servant behind to tend to the creature!  Why must I defend myself to peasants?”

NextDoor, the neighborly, super friendly place that it is, people have been bitching and crying about dogs and animals for several days. They’re callin 311, 911, the ASPCA, everybody about folks who left their animals out, scrounging to make cat shelters, scrabbling together food for all the strays. Not a peep about…
