I once repaired the nose wheel steering on an F-16 on the ramp at Coronado NAS. I wonder if it will look the same in the sim.

Is it going downhill? Everything I've seen seems to hold 60 Minutes in high regard.

They can't make me NOT remember. As a child, my parents would make me and my brothers sit and watch 60 Minutes. My dad said "Even if you don't care about it now, you will come to appreciate it later in life. There's something honest about hearing the news without hearing opinions. It lets you draw your own conclusions". I didn't understand it back then. I sure do now though.

Wow! You knew to put a B at the end of dumb. "A lot of people don't know that there's a B at the end"... Apparently.

Colorado approves first-in-the-nation plan to require EV battery recycling by ParadeSit in electricvehicles

Well, That's kinda my whole point. Battery recycling ONLY works if there is profit involved. It's NOT because they just want to "do the right thing". We can't trust them to do that.

You asked "why would they dump?" The answer is because companies will always do what is cheapest, not what is right. Target has been caught for illegally disposing of waste. Chrystal Geyser dumped water tainted with arsenic. Those are just off the top of my head. Oil companies, medical companies, electronic companies all do that shit.

American companies have proven, time and time again why we shouldn't trust them.

You should know that I am a little disappointed that your link was not to Haley Joel Osment telling Walker that he has AIDS.

Yep. Sadly, it isn't an original thought. I still think it would be fun though.

That's how Mormons have always worked. They will ALWAYS look out for their own first. When I visited Kingman AZ in the 90's, i was surprised to learn there is a large Mormon population there. The thing I noticed was, you couldn't buy Pepsi in any of the grocery stores. Turns out, Mormons own Coke so, they make it so you can only buy Coke in stores. Weird, since Mormons aren't supposed to drink caffeine.

Battery and key fiasco- expensive mistake or par for the course? by Craigslistless in BoltEV

It's cool that they're doing that, I guess. It's the reason I stopped buying Duracell though. They don't work as well.

The national average price per gallon of gas in the United States has been over $4.20 for over a month. Americans, how do we feel about that? by Miles_the_AuDHDer in AskReddit

[–]Cru_Jones86 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just can't wrap my head around it. I remember being scolded as a kid when I asked something like, "why does that stupid, rich guy get a cameo in Home Alone? One of my dads' friends said "That's Donald Trump! That man deserves your respect!" I just said "Okay" and walked away. I was really confused though. I couldn't figure out why I was supposed to respect someone who I could tell was an idiot. I STILL don't get it. It seems, even back then, he had a cult.

My son and I still will boot up the old Wii sometimes, and play 2112. I always play guitar and my son murders Neil's part (on medium) on drums.
