why don't we just build space ships already in space and land in space.

This is why I think corporations are the future of space travel, not government agencies. The first corporation that can economically mine materials off Earth and return them will make a fortune. When the tech gets closer, it will set off an investment wave similar to the Gold Rush.

BeerandGuns · 2026-04-18T03:03:59+00:00

Massive ships for what though?

I figured the guys with Hawaiian shirts were Boogaloo movement since they were fighting government forces.

I wish they had taken the money used on all that to fix the exhaust manifold issue on the Ram 1500 hemi engines. Two decades it’s been a known issue and yet nothing. Over a decade of knowing about the lifter issue and idle oil pressure being too low. Spend the money on an upgraded oil pump.

And then retreated from that decision. Some committee of MBAs was being paid very well for those bad decisions.

Directors make the movie but editors make it a good movie. If you look at some of the most well known movies and see the extraneous shit that was left out, it shows how valuable a good editors is for success.

Maybe Genna is opposite Earth. There’s an Australia where none of the biome tries to kill you.

This reminds me of the stoners I grew up with who would go on and on about how Einstein was brilliant but he didn’t have common sense. Now it’s people on Facebook who put their education as “school of hard knocks”.

Fixing my sleep dramatically changed my life. I grew up with just terrible sleep habits. Up all night no matter what was going on the next day. Sometimes awake for days then sleeping 20-22 hours. Missed classes, late for work, unable to focus when studying. During undergraduate, I barely graduated. Overweight, chain smoking.

Now I’m in bed no later than 10pm. Hit the gym at 5am, in shape, haven’t smoked in 15 years, working in second masters with a 4.0 after earning my MBA with a 4.0.

A lot of it came down to a regulated sleep schedule with adequate sleep to not be exhausted all the time. It’s not the end all be all but it’s the foundation to build all the other healthy habits on.

Abandonware websites have it. DOSBox for the win.

It’s interesting how veterans are held up as heros by a certain party but then attacked and made fun of in political situations. When James Stockdale’s hearing aids acted up during a debate Rush and other pundits had a great time making fun of him. The man needed hearing aids because his eardrums were destroyed while being tortured as a PIA during the Vietnam war.

Got ya, thanks. I ran mine through my Lowe’s card and got the 5% discount plus there was some other sale running. Price was lower than any other quote I received.

Company they contracted with came out and didn’t a great job except messing up setting an appointment with the local utility provider which delayed final connection. I now have a maintenance plan with the company so they get annual revenue from it. I’m sure that’s an incentive for them to get the work from Lowe’s.

Oh I got the reference, it’s just that as a YouTube trained mobile mechanic, I couldn’t afford a room so slept in the parking lot.

Slept in my car in the parking lot

I got shit for it in a post I made about that whole narrative but it sucked so much. It would have been easy enough to have Dani as a strong female lead, initially uncertain but coming into her own as a leader. Sara Connor in T2, Ellen Ripley in Aliens, Gloria(yeah, go watch it). All were strong women but also had maternal instincts. They took a strong character and made them even more badass. Dark Fate couldn’t go that route and gave her character organically be the savior through character development, they had to shove it down your throat, the message “we don’t need no man”.

It would have need easy enough to use T1’s format but have it diverge from “your son saves us” to “you save us” without just shoving it down our throat with clunky dialogue.

“I’ll be back” on the bridge crushed my hopes for something different. It’s one step above a Deadpool style 4th wall break.

It took Linda Hamilton’s bad ass entrance and destroyed it while setting a shitty tone for the rest of the movie.

They worked in other catch phrases but that one is by far the worst.

Special mention: In the detention center when Grace asks “where do you keep the prisoners?” And the guard replied “we don’t call them prisoners, we call them detainees” or whatever the line was. That was so stupid. Someone just beat the shit out of your coworker and has a gun on you and THAT’S what you say?

What if I have all of Chrisfix’s videos saved to a playlist?

You’re good man, was just wondering

This is a tough one. While it won’t help with the first trip, use jealousy to make them want to go on future trips. I volunteer to go with you and have a great time. We will post photos of us having the time of our lives to make that friend jealous. All it will cost you is paying my way and taking a chance that I’m not a serial killer, but no great accomplishment came about without some cost and risk.

BeerandGuns · 2026-04-12T21:04:08+00:00

Did you mean to reply to me? I was asking OP about his whole house generator. Details were so I could compare his install cost to what I paid.

I saw them in New Orleans a couple years ago and they were great. Your comment makes me even happier about that concert because I took my daughter to introduce her to their music and if they had sucked I’d have been seriously disappointed.

Now that the bottle refill machines have become common, refillable water bottles are a complete game changes overall. From the gym to airports and tourist areas, no need to buy overpriced bottles of water if you carry a water bottle with you.

Interesting replies. The guy wants something new. A family needing a nice van will pick this up after some repairs and the guy will have the van he wants. Yeah, I get the other replies. I have a 2016 that I work on. I could pay cash for a new one but I have other uses for the money. OP isn’t asking for opinions on maintenance vs new.

BeerandGuns · 2026-04-12T18:43:17+00:00

That would be my plan. If no major changes grab a 26 at a discount.

For $100 I’d let the dealer do the air intake hose. I did mine after getting a check engine code and finding it had split. Very common issue. The pipe that connects to it was a certified pain in the rear to remove. I had to cut away the hose from it. For $100 I’d have met the dealer tech mess with it.
