To tag onto the partner drugging you- had ur drinking water changed? Construction nearby or mold growing somewhere? My town water is currently potable but for a little white had too much haloacetic acid. It came under federal guidelines and was considered drinkable but fluctuates with rainfall amount, and fed guidelines are pretty generous anyways and not the best metric.

Not to be a jackass but what will their phone help with in this supposed murder factory? If ur so worried about a shooter or something, it’s not like the phone puts them in an invincibility bubble or something.

I feel like I’d be falling asleep with that setup! Hell as it is at least once a week I wake up because I dropped my book into my face.

The cloud? I’ve owned many a vehicle who’s company doesn’t exist anymore XD No car should be tied to any cloud or connectivity crap for use

When Republicans didn’t have the majority they believed in “small govt state rights” so they could do whatever they want in their red bubbles. Now that they hold all the cards, their pro government so they can force their ways in blue bubbles. Not the best way of articulating my point but that’s my thoughts on when they switched. Next time we have a blue majority, they will be pro small govt and anti fed again. Always been this way pretty much on both sides of the aisle.

This. My father did 12 years as an officer and took a severance package while getting the military to pay for his PhD. Now he’s a professor. My father had a ROUGH and real poor upbringing, and military was the only way out of that hole. He only originally joined because he got my mother pregnant and needed a job that would cover medical and military has about the best healthcare you can get, not to mention the opportunity for education and such. If you live in America and want to benefit from socialist practices that are more common in other countries, you can join the military or you can move 🤷‍♂️

In a functioning democracy we wouldn’t have these damn things to begin with!

Guess I’m glad not to have trash service in my town for once LOL

Don’t forget how many good people will be left holding the bag due to their retirement funds being drained into that bubble while the elites cash out :( just like the 2008 crash this is just another pump and dump at our expense while the rich will make out like the robber Barron’s they are anyways

Interesting! I didn’t even have a phone with data until after the unlimited minutes and texts were standard on most plans lol.

What country are u in that u have to go through whatsapp? Have only ever used my personal cell for stuff like this, if I have to download an app to do something you can bet I ain’t doing it lol. If there’s anything I have learned its that if it needs an app, it doesn’t fucking work.

Strangely enough I almost think the military is our best hope of redemption. Think about it, all the “checks and balances” have failed. The last way our “government” can be redeemed is if the military throws a coup to overthrow the president and host another election. The world cannot see that we are ok with our govemrnent being the way it is without consequence. Will this happen? No. But I do think it’s one of the few ways to retain our global credibility that’s already all burnt up.

The trouble with other people’s recs is taste. What you think is an awesome keyboard I might hate and vice versa, your right you really need to test drive it urself to decide. Otherwise it’s like buying a car you have never sat in sight unseen and praying it’s as good as people tell you.

To be honest the natural temperature control would do wonders for my utility bill LOL

Do u think the people used to hitting the power button and clicking the game they want to play on a console are gonna be able to set up Linux and work out the inevitable bugs? I think moving from a console -> windows PC is a good intermediate step before going to Linux, and hell to this day I still use a windows PC because of the programs i need for tuning ecus and designing 3d models (yes I know i can use freecad but also my job has a fusion 360 subscription and thats what we use at work, and no there aren’t any ECU tuning programs worth a shit on Linux that wont brick a 1k$ ecu). Yea windows is enshitified, but I’d argue it’s less enshitified then either console at this point and I’d rather see people move away from consoles to windows than keep buying consoles because they can’t figure out how to get their GPU to work with the distro they chose. I personally have gone through and debloated windows to the point it works great. I understand that same effort could have been spent setting up a good distro, but no distro would run HP tuners or tripnic suite or ecuflash and I WONT risk running in a virtual box or any of that crap for my applications, too much at risk! And don’t worry I didn’t give microslop a dime 🏴‍☠️

I work in automotive, if you try to flash an ECU on Linux you are GOING to brick a likely 1000$ ecu. Some stuff, especially in the corporate/business environment, simply will only work with windows. If people don’t like it they should get to coding instead of telling people who need windows for their livelihood to “just use something else” 😂 yea sure let me contact HP tuners and just have them make a whole new software special just for me!

That’s awesome lol id love to own one of the older Subarus. My first car was a Forester and it was pretty impressive where I could get in that lol. Many years later my “daily” is a 12 Impreza 5 speed with sti sway bars and karthoy end links. It’s a great winter beater and the Subaru bug is biting again…

I could never support Nissan after all their predatory loan tactics, their fucking sheisters and feed on poor people! Can’t speak on rivian don’t know much about the company besides their too expensive lol well over 2x price of a slate.

Tons of cars fet drivetrain swaps! It’s not bad, lots of kits out there and a little custom fab goes a long way. I have personally put hemis and 8hps in JKs, swapped an 02 drivetrain into my 87 YJ, have swapped a gas V8 rover to a diesel td5, have many auto to manual and vice versa conversion. Hell my co worker just put a Corvette engine in a rover backed by a 6 speed tremec and an adapter plate to the original rover t case. It’s surprisingly simple! Hell u can even convert ice to elec pretty easily if u have the where-with-all!

U know what they say, with enough velocity you don’t need traction! And with a enough traction u don’t need velocity! Mind if I ask what Subaru u are off roading? The old loyale could be had with low range iirc, would kill for one of those bad boys
