I agree, Republicans and Democrats keep taking turns swinging their axe at the tree every four to eight years. The tree hasn’t fallen over yet, but it was dead a long time ago.

No excuse. Build it from scratch again. Build it better.

Waste fuel, and they don’t always do what you want them to do, or sometimes lag before they do it.

I’ve owned ten cars and eight were manual transmission. Currently driving a 2020 Subaru Crosstrek with a manual. We bought it for my wife but she developed severe hip problems right after we bought it. So I made it my own - a 2" lift, smaller wheels with off road tires, aftermarket intake and exhaust, added a subwoofer under the passenger seat, tinted the windows etc.

I probably wouldn’t have bought it for me but now I love it. It’s been up some crazy mountain trails where the only other people I saw at the top were in jeeps or similar. It’s been in deep snow and deep sand. I’ve even broken an axle, no regrets. I use it to it’s full potential and I love being able to be in exactly the gear I want to be.

From the article:

“Canada has been ripping us off for years on lumber and on dairy products,” Trump said in an Oval Office address Friday, citing Canada’s roughly 250% tariff on US dairy exports to the country. Trump said America would match those tariffs dollar-for-dollar.

The car I drive was only $22k new and it’s able to drive moderate jeep trails and get me deep into the forest and up mountains on unmaintained roads/trails which when I’m not on a trip for work, that’s where I’m going. You can’t rent vehicles like that in my area. I have a Thule hard sided cargo carrier on the roof to hold the extra gear.

This is why there are no plans to try to sell something like this in the US. I drive three hours each way on day-trips fairly often, and a couple times a year I drive around 1000 miles per day for longer trips. Even people who live in cities with short commutes often want to travel to places several hours away pretty regularly. Here you can drive for hours and hours and hours and not even leave the state. It’s not like we can take a train either.

Do you suspect me of a crime? Am I being detained?

I’m very aware of the history.

Trump won by a slim margin too, and is currently seizing control. If the US doesn’t have an election in the next 15 years, do the American people have zero responsibility for what its future government might do?

Hamas came to power after winning an election in 2006. Palestinian civilians are involved in Hamas in the same way American civilians are involved in Trump - not completely responsible, but certainly not completely innocent.

Let’s say we drop you in Antarctica on a windy night in the winter in jeans and a long sleeve shirt. Three hours might be about right.

Trump has (so far) been deporting at a slower rate than Obama’s or Biden s highest rate. He seems to be mostly making a big show to discourage border crossings. It’s kinda working, but even regular travelers on tourist’s visas are getting the 9th degree when entering the country. My daughter’s UK boyfriend was grilled for 90 minutes with questions like, “Why don’t you have more underwear packed?”

Good.

You hear? You have to experience it. Roasting isn’t just good for meat, it’s great for a lot of veggies… and arrogant assholes too!

Yeah 16 oz, under .5 L and sometimes you can get 24 oz cans ((.71 L) for about the same price but it’s cheap beer and usually only light beers with low alcohol content. I actually love baseball but I only watch it in person, never on TV. I like to go to hockey games too, and we have a minor league team in town. The games are super fun, lots of fan interaction and they do merch giveaways pretty often. Plus cheapish tickets and often they do $5 beer nights.

Eh, beers are like $14 so I never buy more than two. I usually have a few right before we head into the game though. Pre gaming is the American way. You’re buzzed for the first half of the game but sobering up by the end of it. I don’t drive home anyway, my wife doesn’t drink almost ever. I also don’t like going to bed drunk so if I’m drinking I like to do it a little earlier. But yeah it’s pretty normal for people to have a few beers and still drive home later. Some people do take Ubers tho.
