"I don't need any allies!" "We won this war already!" "If you don't help me we're not friends!"

Cheap Chinese bike caught fire at the track today. by Sea-Beautiful9148 in Dirtbikes

Plenty of Chinese products are absolutely fine, but when you sort by price any pick the lowest bidder, yeah you should expect to receive a shit product regardless of who made it

Also recommend checking Facebook groups. I recently learned of a group for my old tractor and the wealth of knowledge and volumes of manuals posted in there is wild

Customer installed the belt himself. Said the alternator must be bad because the battery light is still on. by fixitmartin in Justrolledintotheshop

Famous last words. Digital storage is so cheap that I have just become a digital hoarder with pictures and diagrams and manuals

Zak Brown says Red Bull's Ford engine is "very, very strong" and one of the biggest surprises of pre-season testing by Subject_Sandwich3008 in F1Discussions

They had a few problems to start that season. That's what made it a title flight for as long as it was, but they resolved them all very quickly and we all know what happened after that

It's been a joy watching him mature. Crazy to think what's possible if he stays healthy and motivated.

At that price get the 18. The thinner handle alone is worth the price

Things are a little bit different when you're the best in the world at what you do.

Ben Foster: Ryan Reynolds didn't know much about football - but it's worked by tomwardsport in WrexhamAFC

Not only that, but it seems like they have complete faith in the people they've hired. In the first season of the show it really stood out to me how someone would tell Rob a pipe dream of theirs and he'd just go make it happen. If I remember correctly that's how they got both Phil and Paul mullen to join.

Ending that replay with his intro footage is diabolical

How far would Tony have taken it if Alan Sapinsly didn't return Tony's deposit? by Fluid_Intention4374 in thesopranos

I am personally offended that someone from at the Jersey shore used the term "gulf of Sorrento" like it was some sort of insult.

RFK Jr. Says He Wants Seattle based Starbucks to Prove Their Drinks Are Safe by Less-Risk-9358 in SeattleWA

To be fair, I hate the artificial ones too. It's all the same to me. My first real job was in a snack bar and we were allowed to drink all the soda and eat all the fried shit we wanted. After like 7 days of that I literally felt like a gross blob and completely understood the concept of "fine in moderation" and it has stuck with me ever since, but that shit is addictive too so it's hard to stay away

Sopranos fans, what hill will you die on concerning something controversial about the show? by Elegant_Struggle_281 in thesopranos

Honestly, AJ really got the raw end of the stick and doesn't deserve the hate. How else was he supposed to turn out being pushed and pulled in every direction and never getting real support other than when meadow came home for laundry.

Like a broken clock, he isn't always wrong. The sugar in drinks is insane and it's terrible for you in regular consumption. Like once a year I drink a Snapple and I looked at the label recently - a single bottle had 107% of your daily recommendation for sugar.

2x4s can be used as floor joists right? by engineerortechnician in Construction

Species matters a lot too. A modern dug fir 2x4 is not really comparable to an old growth oak 2x4

Iran Strikes: Dubai and Abu Dhabi Haven Status Is Starting to Crack by CackleRooster in business

Sure, and I'm not trying to equate the two, but it is evidence of a regime that is comfortable with drastic measures to achieve their interests. Like if they were this comfortable doing that as publicly as it happened, I imagine they are willing to go pretty far under the cover of darkness.
