@JoshuaB97796944 @SecondAmendment I believe I would be this cranky, as well, if my name was on my shirt.
English
@SecondAmendment Clearly nobody gives a shit what you folks think. Hold your fking breathe if it offends you. Stay in your home. Potheads exist. Worry about your own miserable life. So fkn sick of hearing about people and their opinions.

PSA:
If you smoke weed, don't go into a gun store reeking of it
Trust me, most of us do not care and only care if you make us
If I can smell it on you from 30ft away, you're a moron

@FrankBr05713205 @HappyMotorhead That Franklin was a poor engine, even when in helos and airplanes.
English
@HappyMotorhead It was an amazing car, too bad only 50 were made

@ZubyMusic @TheLaurenChen Like people that suddenly switched opinions on the COVID vaccine based on who the President was - it is mostly political tribalism.
English
@TheLaurenChen Facts vs Feelings.
'Nuclear' sounds scary and conjures up images of explosions, death, and meltdowns.
I really think it's that simple.
Rebrand it to 'clean energy' or something and watch opinions shift.
English
Why are so many women objectively misinformed about nuclear power?
This is such a strange issue to see a gender divide on.
Tom Chivers@TomChivers
This seems really bad and I don't know what to do about it: not so much the differences in political attitudes, that's fine, but there's a strong gender divide in belief on straightforward factual questions like "is nuclear energy low-carbon?" yougov.com/en-gb/articles…

@MonacoFreedom That’s probably the worst mistake. You can make stay invested in the markets. Your compounding returns will be a lot higher than paying off a mortgage.
English
My wife and I are both 30, and are nearing $400,000 in investments combined
I feel I reached the point where paying off my mortgage has to be the top priority
Agree or disagree?

@Strawberrytrap4 @netflixsports An Indonesian would have handled it perfectly in 10 seconds, 💯 👍👏

@netflixsports This made me angry, the cat is panicking and the idiots behind the door wouldnt let it out. Gosh dumb people

That time a cat ran loose at Yankee Stadium during a game against the Orioles 🐈
Fans started chanting “Let’s go cat!” 😂

@WillieDJenkins1 I’m a 22K mile/year situation, and deal with salt. so I had to open my wallet to go back in time and buy myself more time in hopes this surveillance ruling resolves itself somehow, but I bet it won’t.

@Apteryx1214 6 years in the mirage has 35k on the odo. at this point, I intend for it to be the for life car if I can

Buy your new car now. I'm going to be leading a boycott of the entire industry in 2027
Brian Allen@allenanalysis
Let me tell you about a law most Americans have never heard of. Eighteen months from now, every new car sold in the United States will come with technology that watches you drive. Infrared cameras tracking your eyes. Sensors measuring your pupil dilation. Software analyzing your head position. Software analyzing your behavior at the wheel. If the artificial intelligence in your car decides you are impaired, your car can refuse to start. Or limit your speed to 25 miles per hour. Or shut off entirely while you are driving. This is not a proposal. This is federal law. It applies to model year 2027. Here is the case for the law. 🧵

@WaltsPrincesss @SecRollins Snap does not consider assets for anything but expedited SNAP, which only happens at the beginning of the benefit. It's all about the income.
English
In just ONE state, 14,000 individuals receiving SNAP benefits were driving LUXURY VEHICLES!
🚗 3 Bentleys
🚗 3 Ferraris
🚗 11 Lamborghinis
🚗 59 Maseratis
🚗 141 Porsches
🚗 244 Alfa Romeos
🚗 306 Land Rovers
🚗 2,098 Teslas
And this is just in ONE STATE. We need to defend our nutrition programs for those most in need, not for scammers gaming the system.
These individuals are taking advantage of the American taxpayer. And together with @VP’s Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, this ends NOW.
4.3M Americans have been moved off of SNAP — but more work to be done!

@spotted_model I’ve had good luck with the Genie “universal” kit that comes with a modern receiver and uses nice 3 button remotes.
English
I understand it’s my fault at the end of the day but we bought a rental house with a very old garage door opener. Could not find the right remote replacement because the one it came with is barely working. Gave Grok all sorts of pictures of the receiver and the transmitter. It confidently told me which remotes to buy on Amazon.
Two days later they came but didn’t work. Asked again. Grok said no that wasn’t the right one. Buy this kind.
The second set of remotes came yesterday. They didn’t work either. Grok told me no those weren’t the right ones at all!
So now I’m sitting with two sets of remotes that don’t work and Grok is telling me to get a third kind 😡😡

@ImFromCle Near-Guaranteed money laundering kickback scam, let me guess, they cost $150K each?

Downtown Cleveland finally gets public bathrooms 🚽
Two “Portland Loo” restrooms have been installed at Canal Basin Park in the Flats, with a third planned for Perk Plaza. The units are designed for durability, accessibility, and safety in public spaces.
They’re not open yet, but the city plans a soft launch to gauge usage before setting regular hours.
Who wants to link at the soft launch?

@FrankBr05713205 @1Nicdar It can also be used as a hammer, in emergency situations 😂
English
@1Nicdar Its commonly called a crescent wrench but its an adjustable wrench. Cresent is a brand name

@FrankBr05713205 @Legacy411 More importantly, what the heck was on the factory FoMoCo 8-track? 😂 I had an Oldsmobile factory cassette head cleaner, does that count for anything?
English
@Legacy411 I have used all six but number five can break your hand if not careful

@jcorriv35 I had one of these! Kind of a pointless shitbox compared to, say, an Accord hatchback, but the speed/tach combo was cool af

@WillieDJenkins1 I have not heard the word ‘grubby’ since 1980. Thanks for the flashback to my Mom describing my hygiene after being outside unsupervised for 18 hours. 😂
English
Time to mash the ball joints and bushings out of these grubby old control arms, then brush them up a bit to make them serviceable.

@FrankBr05713205 @RetroCoast Too many times. The COTTER PIN on the underside shift linkage rusted out. I shifted it into R manually, begged her not to back over my head. Then I shifted into D , also begging her not to drive over my head. She followed me home and I fixed it properly. Truly awful car.
English
@FrankBr05713205 @RetroCoast I was the DIY Chevette mechanic for 3 of them in the friends/family network when I was 16-20. Truly awful. It made a Civic of the same era seem like alien technology. It made my wife swear off GM for life. Rimshot: She has since sworn off Audi for life lol

1976 Chevrolet Chevette
In the Seventies Detroit was getting beat by cheap, reliable Japanese imports.
The Chevette was launched in 1976 as an "import fighter." It went on to become the best selling car in America #1970s

@dougs_cars @Mattisamazing33 I have had zero BMWs. I observe those money furnaces from a safe distance. (Thank you to BMW owners for funding a significant chunk of my expenditures in the early 00s for charging 60% of dealer quote to fix your Ultimate Maintenance Machine in my driveway, though!). 🫡🫡🫡
English
@Mattisamazing33 I’ve had *checks notes* 10 BMWs. Not sure I’ll have another new one.
English
@HollisD89406401 @FrankBr05713205 @RetroCoast I wonder if anyone ever stole a Chevette. I’m sure it happened. A couple times.

@jcorriv35 @captainpisslord Curious Qs
Do you live in/near your hometown? (Me: No)
Did you have a cellphone or social media while exiting high school? (Me: No)
I tried reconnecting to HS buddies, with almost no success. Seems everyone moved on.
English
How it feels to drift from your high school buddies but not have any new ones to make up for it

@CalebHammerClip Dude never lets people answer or talk. Good show concept, but I can never watch because of Caleb’s spazzy constant interruptions.
English

you have a girlfriend who you want to marry BUT THEN she decides she wants to quit her job.
thats not a problem! whats the plan, how are we going to make this work?
... she has no plan. as a matter of fact you realize she beyond incompetent, constantly weaponizing it whenever conversations become difficult and Caleb sees right through it lol
