@patrickbetdavid It’s not as fun to mix up the rods, springs, bolts, and lifters as you would think. Also taking a new head gasket into the house for hours to use as a template for art, does not make him happy no matter how cool the art was.

@Nithya_Shrii Rich kids are at a disadvantage in character but have capital to make up most of the deficit.

@alphafox When you buy it, what does the bag look like that you put it into?

@Matt_Pinner It’s easy. Just look for the two spring loops and the spring is in between them.

@MbarkCherguia She was wrong for hitting him so poorly. 6 punches and all she did was get his attention. If she turtled at the start instead of the end, he might have tried to comfort her. This is her strongest move.

@FurkanGozukara The enriched uranium seems like a pretext to me, but it doesn’t mean that we are wrong to reduce their military capabilities to mall cop levels.

@AntiTrumpCanada VP JD will be kind to Canada when he is president. Save your hate for our Imperial units of measure.

@KeruboSk I’m seeing a lot of men choosing Filipino wives when they are ready to settle down. The Filipino ladies want to get married.

@end3of6days9 $6,000 seems pretty reasonable. I paid more than that 10 years ago for one kid. It cost $24,000 for all my kids braces. Insurance paid $4,000 of that.

This mom gets the estimate for her teenage son's braces and her reaction is pure, relatable shock.
She sits there staring at the paper: over $6,000 for full top-and-bottom braces. "What? Like who can afford over $6,000 for braces?" she says, voice cracking with disbelief.
Her son needs them for an overbite and just one or two crooked teeth—"his teeth aren't even that crooked"—but it's still full treatment. She thought maybe it was $1,900 or something (perhaps a down payment), but nope, the numbers are real.
He's got two insurances (one through mom, one through dad), yet the estimate only factors in dad's. She hopes hers kicks in more, especially since her daughter only needed top braces before. But even so, she's floored: "Oh my god, this can't be real. This can't be real. Parents, is this real?"
This is the everyday reality hitting so many families right now. A basic need like fixing your kid's teeth turns into a massive financial gut punch—thousands out of pocket, even with insurance, while you're already dealing with life’s other curveballs.
Kids shouldn't have to go without straight teeth and confidence because orthodontics costs more than a used car. Parents shouldn't have to choose between braces and bills.
Who's been hit with a braces quote that made you do a double-take? Or is this just what we Americans have to deal with in 2026?

@CNviolations This makes a lot more sense than golf ball sized hell.

@DelusionPosting Whenever anyone says “Just so we are clear”, the next thing said is so bizarre that the only thing that is clear is that someone is suffering from a form of mental illness.

@ronsterd89 At the factory I used to work at this was called a maintenance outage day.

@greendragonhq What about adopted children or ones who changed their names like VP JD?

@BeingJWood Cuba was always in play. We knew it the day he captured Maduro.

First day on the job, working my way through college, I am handed an electric drill and I am told to make a bunch of holes in steel plate. It is slow going and I wear out a bunch of bits. 4 hours and I have only about 1/4th of the holes done and I am exhausted. I take my lunch and go back and notice a lever on the drill labeled For/Rev. I flip it and finished the rest of the holes in about 45 minutes. I had been drilling backwards all morning. I had a 3.97 GPA in college at the time. Because I was so smart, I never did that again. I remind myself of that day if I ever start feeling too cocky.

@Angry_Staffer I do buy stuff using the internet, it must mean the internet is safe.

@Geniustechw I’ve just learned about identity called genderminute and gendersecond where your gender can change in less than an hour.
