@Starlink Not rainproof. Security cams went dark at our farm, went to check it out and found the dish is full of water. App won’t let me log-in and acct is tied to an e-mail that also quit letting me log in so I can’t change the password.We don’t hate tech companies enough.

@Osint613 What a disgrace @VP is. The American people, especially Christians, stand firmly with Israel. Surrendering to Iran is definitely not America First. Now our children will have to fight a nuclear armed Iran.

VIDEO: Vice president Vance in a message to to Israeli cabinet members: “If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have left 2/3 of the defensive weapons that have protected your homeland have been built by American hands and paid for by American tax dollars. The problem for Israel is not Donald J. Trump, and anybody in Israel who thinks their biggest problem is the President of the United States needs to wake up and smell the reality of the situation that country is in”
Open Source Intel@Osint613

NOW: Vance says he is troubled by Israeli ministers publicly attacking the deal and, in some cases, personally criticizing President Trump. His message: Trump is currently the only world leader with significant influence who is strongly backing Israel, and he happens to lead the world’s most powerful country. Publicly attacking that ally may not be wise. He also said that over the past 3 months, roughly two-thirds of the defensive weapons protecting Israel were built in the United States and funded by American taxpayers. Vance added that Netanyahu has largely avoided this rhetoric, but argued that Israeli officials who view Trump as Israel’s main problem are ignoring the reality of the country’s strategic position and dependence on U.S. support.

@GangsterCinema A tremendously crappy movie. Lousy script and worse acting because they knew this script was crappy andthat great acting wasn’t going to salvage it, everybody phoned it in, everybody, the actors writers directors producers, they’re all responsible for this gigantic piece of shit.

Brian De Palma originally wanted Andy Garcia to play Capone's enforcer Frank Nitti in The Untouchables, but Garcia turned it down and lobbied for the role of George Stone instead - partly because he wanted to work alongside Sean Connery. Garcia explains... "Obviously I wanted to work with Connery. He was one of my childhood heroes, so I lobbied immediately to play the other part. I had to be firm about it —I wanted to roll the dice. Eventually I met with Brian, and I auditioned for George Stone, and they gave me the part…. The dynamics in the film were basically the dynamics on set. We all became very close, but the hierarchy stayed the same — he (Connery) was the older, wise guy, always jabbing at us, and it was my job, as my character, to push back. Respectfully, but to keep the exchanges going. I love Sean Connery. I’ll tell you a quick story — I’ve told it before, but it’s funny.... (1/2)

Let me be direct: Data centers are going to be a good and important part of Tennessee's economic growth, but we've got to be thoughtful about their placement. I was a part of that board when the Nashville Zoo was getting started, and we're pleased with how it has grown to serve our community. Let's revisit the placement of a data center beside the Nashville Zoo.

We have new information on the woman who was mauled by 5 dogs in East Nashville. The rescue the dogs came from is Wags &Walks, according to a report we obtained through a public records request. Wags & Walks statement is as follows: “Our hearts are with the beloved longtime member of our rescue community who was injured and our neighbors throughout Nashville impacted by this heartbreaking incident. We take this situation very seriously and will review information as it becomes available and will cooperate in any way we can. We remain committed to the animals we rescue and the wonderful people who care for them.” I asked them a serious of questions including what their protocols are and the temperament of the dogs, but they only send me that statement.” @FOXNashville

Dear anti-EV crowd. I drove gas vehicles for 30 years. I attended car shows. I've modified engines and suspensions. I'm a Mustang Club of America-certified national car show judge. I still love classic muscle. I also used to love making mixed tapes, visiting Blockbuster on Saturday nights, or shopping for new music at Sam Goody. I was a photographer and spent a lot of time and money on film and developing. At the same time, I was one of the first to rip my music to MP3s, upgrade my internet connection to stream video, and own one of the first Sony digital cameras. And here we are again on the cusp of change. EVs are here for the masses, and the market will drive the change because EVs are better all-around vehicles for most people. Gas vehicles will be obsolete in another decade or two. Luckily for you, you don't have to change now. Nor should you be forced to. Gas vehicles will be around long enough to meet your needs or driving preferences until you are ready, and I'm thankful for that. But you see, I don't need your battery-fire warnings, comments about pumping gas in 5 minutes, or selective outrage about rare-earth mineral mining posted from your mobile phone. The ICE age is drawing to a close. Legacy auto and dealerships are on borrowed time. The automotive industry is ripe for massive disruption, and many people don't see it coming. But it's coming; you can’t stop it.

@joecarpenter678 I always ask before declining to work on their car “why did you buy parts that you cannot install?”

I should have checked out the parts before I removed the old ones. Of course, customer supplied parts. They bought two right side struts. I'm so ready for today to be over. 😡🤬

@CoffeeandaMike In the mid 80’s drove from Flagstaff to Sedona and made a stop in Oak Creek Canyon. Drank some beers w/the college kids and dove off a cliff. Beautiful area I’d love to back to minus the cliff jumping. Great podcast BTY

Somewhat unplugged for a couple of days to go on a short road trip. Jerome, Sedona, Oak Creek Canyon, Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon. So much beauty in Northern AZ.

You always start with the simplest shit first, rule of thumb from an old time blacksmith, my grandad.

Here is an example of how a bad mechanic can cost a car owner a lot of money. I was one of two Nissan technicians in a Nissan / Subaru dealership. One day the service manager came over to me in a panic, saying he had a very angry customer who had an overheating problem in his Pathfinder. This customer always had the other technician working on his vehicle but that tech called in sick for the day. I talked to the customer and be explained that his Pathfinder only overheated at highway speeds and he had been fighting this problem for over 6 months. I pulled the file for the repair history and was shocked. Over the course of 6 months this customer had paid for 2 thermostats, 2 radiator hoses, 3 coolant flushes, head gaskets, clutch fan, fan blades, belts and thermostat housing. He had spend over $5,500 dollars and still had the same problem! I took the vehicle for a ride to verify the problem and then did a visual inspection. I found the problem in 5 minutes. I spend about 10 minutes in the wash bay power washing the bugs and debris from the front of the AC condenser and radiator. I then asked customer to go with me to verify the problem was solved. It was, no overheating at all. Of course he asked me how I fixed it so fast and I told him that it didn't take long to clean the bugs off the front of his condenser and radiator. He was beside himself and I couldn't blame him after all the money he spent for nothing. I told the service manager it was fixed and to not charge him anything. I did get a $100 tip that day and a new customer that insisted I only work on his vehicles from now on.

The two million mom-and-pop companies that were destroyed sent customers scampering to the survivors. You no longer can eat at Linda's Diner so now you must go to Chipotle's or MacDonald's. It was a hostile takeover. Biggest winner, of course, was Amazon.

Called a shop to get my spark plugs changed, they want $500+ plus recommended fuel system cleaning for $140. Cost $15 a plug and needs 6 plugs. You’re telling me changing spark plugs is $400+ in labor? GTFOH These places are really getting over on people today!
