I was expecting something more like R Mutt but this was also really informative. This is exactly the kind of red tape that looks bad and ends up being bad, and is then held up as an example for why we shouldn't have any red tape anywhere, ever.
I don't know if 16 counts as young man, but at that point in my life I did like my vehicle loud. I thought it was cool. By 20, it was embarrassing. I had an exhaust rust off about 10 years ago and couldn't get it fixed for a couple months. I definitely didn't feel cool then 😬 Thr silence after the repair was awesome!
I'm disappointed that this still exists, but sexism certainly still does so maybe I shouldn't be. I just took a class today on high conflict personalities; now I'm not sure how great this response would be but yesterday I would have thought it was great. Maybe some questions just don't need a response. I feel mixed.
It’s still Black History Month, so I wanted to share this older video from SMN. MLK was a black christian socialist, and this video covers how and why Martin Luther King JR has been whitewashed of his radical messaging.
Here is an article from The Guardian that is about a similar topic but may not touch on all the issued. It isn't a long read and may not cover as much as an hour show.
Manhattan’s billionaire condo buyers would lose the ability to keep their identities secret in real estate deals if a measure before Governor Kathy Hochul becomes law....
How disingenuous. Every state I have lived in has property owners as public record. While I believe there are reasons to be anonymous, being obnoxiously rich isn't one of them.
Not exactly ziploc, but there is Tizip. But as others have said, a properly designed pocket won't have an issue. Maybe you will need to close the zipper on it during an absolute deluge.
I really think that, if we are to get this to work, we must start with the ranchers as well. I live on one of those 'more cows than people' areas, and I don't think any rancher is going to hang up that income opportunity until they have a viable alternative. Some of them have already diversified to meet ends, but I think most have not.
I don't know if this is unpopular or not, but I really don't like hearing about folks' medical history. Like yes, I know you have anxiety/diabetes/whatever because you tell me every single time I see you. I, too, have a condition that requires me to take multiple pills everyday for my whole life, but you'd never know it bc I don't make it my identity. I'd rather not, and I'd rather not others who aren't facing death do it. On some cases I guess it speaks to the status of mental health care in my country since it almost seems like a cry for help that I just cannot answer.
A Seattle-based appellate judge ruled that the practice does not meet the threshold for an illegal privacy violation under state law, handing a big win to automakers Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen and General Motors.
Hi, English isn’t my mother tongue so I was asking myself that question since I first encounted a w/… Back then I was like: “What tf does ‘w slash’ stand for?” And when I found out I was like “How, why, and is it any intuitive?” But I never dared to ask that until now
I think this is just endemic to colleges that don't have a plan for move out. I worked at a high school that was in a college town at the time this was filmed. We would take HS students dumpster diving during move out and get all kinds of stuff for proper donation. This wasn't some fancy school, just a state school. The college kids have exams, and then have a day or two to move out of dorms. It's too much to handle for a 19 yo with poor parents who are making the trip to the school to get them, possible missing work. So - they throw everything away.

If you really want a long lasting machine, listen to this person. So much nose in this thread. For example: Subarus, in fact, do not have reputation for being long lasting without major repairs. Most people do not keep a vehicle for 10+ years nor for 300k miles. I have a vehicle that is older than that with 30% more miles. As said above, an anecdote.
Somebody keeps track of the cost of ownership over time. Perhaps a company, maybe a government agency.
