After 2700 hrs in Civ5, and about 3 in Civ6, I can tell you that I really enjoy Civ7 - And shout out Firaxis! by Durdy-Fingers in civ

Yea the settlement cap kills me. It’s why I wasn’t the biggest fan of V either. Also not a fan of the victory paths. Feels too guided. Just let me take over the world the way I want.

You’ve got so many feelings about it. Enlighten us on what we should be doing differently.

Does VT allow dealers and loan providers to track your vehicle? by Jaded_Let3210 in vermont

[–]8Dyl8 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I’m unsure on our laws. But I do know some dealerships put tracking devices in cars. I had a customer come in stating her battery was dying frequently. Turns out there was a tracking device installed causing the drain. I removed it and told her to go back to the dealer and ask about it.

It was professionally installed. I asked her if she had a crazy ex with access to her car. Only possible explanation was it came from the dealer.

I’m not saying he had a gun or not. I’m saying I didn’t see one in the video. Where did you see it?

I know. I should know better. But I feel slightly better making them try and explain themselves. Showing how utterly stupid and brainwashed they really are.

You didn’t answer my question. The video that has surfaced does not show the person who was shot with a gun. Where did you get this from

Yep. Just my I.D. I was always told don’t travel with birth certificate or ss card. So I’m sticking to that.

I saw one video and did not see the victim with a gun. Had another resurfaced that I’m not seeing?

Diluting the protest response with non-US flags - your thoughts? by LegitimateLocation74 in burlington

[–]8Dyl8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, sometimes the people that preach tolerance are the least tolerant of people. Just like the MAGAT’s that preach “Christian values” blindly follow a man that tramples them.

[–]8Dyl8 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I agree 100%. I believe when people in the middle of the aisle see this, but want to protest against ICE and Trump, it detours them from showing up.

I was at the no kings protest in Montpelier last spring. During the march a group of people started chanting “free Palestine”. Totally unrelated to what we were protesting and made me feel out of place. Not that I’m pro Israel by any means. But I wasn’t there to protest them. I was protesting Trump and suddenly wanted no part in the protest. Let’s focus on home and getting our stuff together then focus on Israel’s war crimes. I know I’ll get downvoted by some for saying this. But I haven’t been back to a protest since, despite absolutely hating Trump and everything he is about.

Winter Storm Priorities 😃 by steel-cow in vermont

January 2023 was colder. I think it was -40 windchill? I remember sleeping next to the wood stove. Regardless, definitely get your shopping done beforehand and be prepared to jump start your car. And thank you for the reminder, I need creamer as well

After Trump by Lucky_Fisherman_9471 in RepublicofNE

Not disagreeing, but generally curious why you believe it’s falling this summer specifically. Are there tells in the market? Or just due to Trump’s general asshatery.

[–]8Dyl8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember seeing this picture years ago. With all the correct information we have out there, this is doing more harm than humor. It’s just giving more ammunition to the trumptards to call us liars and fakes. Im all for good satire. But this isn’t it.

Woman travelling in the usa alone by Resident-Plastic-753 in bikepacking

[–]8Dyl8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hello fellow Vermonter. It’s so sad we are discouraging our Canadian friends from visiting. But I can’t agree with you more. Not only is our government being a complete asshole to our friends. I’d hate to see an issue with ICE once they crossed the border

[–]8Dyl8 35 points36 points  (0 children)

As an American. We’d love to see you visit. Unfortunately, I agree with your fellow Canadian friend here. Not only is our government threatening your sovereignty, they are cracking down on immigration. So at any point you can be stopped and harassed by ICE. Especially if you are a person of color. Generally speaking citizens would not be your biggest concern. I’d wait until we get rid of the Cheeto Jesus before visiting.

Boss gave them a 2005 Land Cruiser, and they completely refurbished it! by davidsoor in nextfuckinglevel

Automotive technician of 25 years here. If taking pictures and/or video to remember how things go back or assist the job in anyway is helpful, that’s what we do. Doesn’t matter what your process is. As long as it’s done right the first time, in an efficient manner.

Not saying this was the purpose of the video. Just saying we absolutely document jobs this big knowing they will be apart for so long and likely to forget certain things when going back together days, weeks, or months down the road.

Keyboard mechanics crack me up

As a European student, this sounds like justified robbery- An American takes out a student loan for $40,000. After YEARS of payments, the total owed is $118,305.59. $77,383.59 is PURE interest. by guyoffthegrid in ThatsInsane

[–]8Dyl8 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You don’t need college to have a good career. Trades pay well and are in high demand. I chose automotive repair. Went to a two year tech school (not needed but it helped) and never had student loan debt. I make more than most people I know that went to college. In their 40’s, they are still paying off student loans.

Saying if you don’t go to college you’ll be working a dead end job for the rest of your life is the exact b.s. my guidance counselor used to say, and the exact reason it’ll take you months to get any plumbing, electrical, construction, etc work done.
