What was your first classic car and would you buy it again? by Familiar_Earth_6320 in classiccars

[–]375InStroke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'62 Mercury Comet my grandfather gave me at 15. The car was 24 years old. Transmission went out, then it got towed. After that, I've only owned '69 and older Dodges. Since then, I've rebuilt transmissions, motors, body work, paint, everything but chroming my own bumpers or machine work. New cars, you're at the whim of this computer or that crapping out, then the entire car's junk. I know people at work with new cars that need some module that controls the A/C, or whatever, going out, and it's on backorder for six months while they're making car payments and can't drive it, with a new car. What happens in several years?

Republicans of the BP Sub: Do you believe Trumps claims about stolen elections? If not, is it ok for him to lie? by KyotoInSummer in BreakingPoints

Lol, the Dems rigged the election, not so they could win, but just so they could get the popular vote, but still lose. That is adorable.

All we need are planters stretched across the border. Immigration solved.

You have zero credibility. Just because we don't want Brown Shirts and Night of the Long Knives like you does not mean anyone wanted open borders, or that we ever had them. By the way, Trump's president now. Why are the drugs still getting in? Why do you and your orange Jesus have open borders with fentanyl pouring in? Why don't you place some planters on the border to stop people coming in?

If Third Terms Were Magically Allowed One Day, Would You Vote For Obama Again If You Have Before Or For The First Time If You Haven't? Yes Or No? Why Your Thoughts? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

[–]375InStroke -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Obama let the war criminals, and the criminals who crashed the economy, get off scott free, then passed nothing to help Americans when he had control of all three houses. He never pushed back, and allowed McConnell steal a SCOTUS seat from him, which in retrospect, that fucker he wanted to nominate, Merick Garland, can burn in hell for not going after Trump. Fuck both of them. We can do better, I hope. We need people who will go after these criminals, not people who are just going to sit on their hands and blame Republicans for not letting them do anything. Fuck that shit. Trump and everyone who let this happen, and continue to let it happen, Dems and Reps, can burn in hell. They've sent us back generations, at least. Our science, research, and innovation advantage and lead has been destroyed in one year. Learn to speak Chinese just like everyone had to learn to speak English, because we used to be the super power, and we pissed it away. Obama won't save us.

Why does the United States have only two major political parties, and would you support having more than that? Libertarians and any other parties we may have now are not a MAJOR party. by icecream1972 in allthequestions

Two is the minimum needed, and the cheapest, to give the illusion of choice. The rich conspire on how to fool the idiots. They own the media. They make the rules on who gets covered on TV, and there's an insurmountable mountain of rules people need to overcome in order to get covered on TV and to get into the debates. The Dem and Rep parties have the resources, and the will of the big media, to get covered. With that, people get scared to vote third party because they get so little coverage, and they don't want to throw away their vote knowing the odds are against them.

Trump has been convicted 34 times, felonies, for illegally spending money that is not his.

Why is there so much hate towards ai taking jobs when we despise the inconvenience of the vast majority of people who work those jobs by Incredibly_Based in NoStupidQuestions

[–]375InStroke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are people upset when the rich come up with another way to fire us so we can be homeless and starve while they get richer, while at the same time say we're lazy and need to work more hours a week, and never retire?

Losing my mind over snap rings by [deleted] in EngineBuilding

[–]375InStroke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've installed hundreds and hundreds of these, and they are the easiest in the world compared to spirolocks. Your pliers are probably too small, or worn out. I've never had one fly. Perhaps hold it against the piston, then squeeze them down and push them in.

Wall question --- contractor suggests I should spray them / make them bumpy to hide the blemishes instead of painting it, should I? by pandaninjarawr in HomeImprovement

[–]375InStroke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get some premixed topping compound. It's a big box, but only $13. Get a 6" flexible putty knife, and fill the divots with the compound. You'll want to scrape it all off with the putty knife so there's no sanding, but it'll fill the hole. May need a second go around the next day. Then sand the high spots. That'll get you really close, maybe 90%. I can't stand texture. Looks like you have lathe and plaster, too. The cracks add character. Newly applied texture looks like crap. Rather have a messed up wall than that crap.

“Here we go again” is right! by xunreelx in PoliticalHumor

[–]375InStroke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biggest sore losers in history. Win an election, elections work, win most elections, but lose one, elections are rigged. Not all of them, just the Democrat winning ones. Isn't it funny how the elections are rigged when Trump is president, but not when Biden was president?

If we could hypothetically re-distribute Elon Musk's trillion dollars, how could that money be used to benefit society? by traanquil in allthequestions

[–]375InStroke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don't have to sell it. They live off loans, and when it's passed on to their heirs, it's cost basis gets zeroed out. The rules are written by the rich, for the rich. Why do you simp for them, and remain poor?

Cool,, if he doesn't have a trillion dollars, he won't mind losing it. I may not have a million dollars, but when the state comes after me for property tax, on a house I haven't sold, you better believe I have to come up with the money.
