The roads are shite here, driving sucks and I don’t go round and round a track. I have a 2015 F150 XLT 4x4 with the NA 3.5 V6 FlexFuel engine. It has a column shift, front split bench with fold-down console, rear bench seats. I’d have to replace it with the same :)

It’s not in terrible shape, but it’s restorable. The heat is missing - that rubber dong sticking out from where the heater used to be was a heater hose. The weather stripping has been stripped and not replaced. The fiberglass, paint, glass and trim look good, as does the interior if a bit worn. If you don’t need that…

There’s an old strategy for winning in politics - take over the news. It makes no difference what they do to get on the news, as long as they get some notoriety. Getting votes by name recognition alone is how most of the unqualified morons in the GOP get into office anyway.

Don’t underestimate Sander’s fortitude. Remember the mittens. It was cold that day. 

Consider the source:

You know it’s the truth because they heard the media hides it!

I never really thought about horses flying on planes. I bet they hate it. People are going to say “why didn’t they just tranquilize the horse?” - you can’t tranq a horse that you can’t catch. If it’s not in a stall and relatively calm, giving it IV drugs is pretty difficult. It’s not like you can shoot it with a dart…

Gatekeeper? Keymaster??

25-percent raise by 2028

No parlay? Run out the guns and sweep their decks! 

GIS Swedish jail cell and you get this interior. I shit thee not.

I wonder how much they spent to get the Bentley look. Probably too much. The “semi-custom” production yachts like the Contest let you choose a few options like veneer wood species and color, and the color and finish of other interior bits, but it’s all just surface stuff. The interiors are all the same, just like a…

I don’t understand this about banks. Is check-kiting so hard to detect? Most businesses that process millions/billions of dollars in transactions have a significant fraud department. Big payroll companies are sorta fraud magnets though. With the amount of transactions and the banks trusting its big clients it’s pretty…

I’m thinking it’s a better choice than deforestation. Steel can go green, and recycled scrap + renewable powered arc furnaces don’t need as much decarburization as steel made from ore. At least I don’t think so, as the scrap is mostly mild steel and rust already.

Yeah that was a bad one - mostly for Mexico though. The US got pretty much all of Mexico’s land above the Rio Grande for about $15 million.

I can back up a trailer, but its easier not to when your boat is a Hobie 16. Most of the time I’m launching from the beach, so not getting the truck stuck in soft sand is a good idea. Even with an F150 4x4, beaches get pretty soft when its dry. I will back it down a ramp if it’s not too steep or slippery. If there are…

According to the people who make galvanized steel utility poles, galvanized steel utility poles are longer lasting, more durable and have a lower carbon footprint. Steel is now mostly cheaper than lumber - think Select Structural grade 2x4 framing studs vs steel studs. Steel is about $2 cheaper per stud. Lumber also…

Exactly, there’s nothing ‘public’ about them except that the public both pays their way and gets f-d when they inevitably f-up. 

The only way to make this work is to treat humans like the animals they are. Get a few cowboys with whips and cattle prods and stampede them into their seats. D
