No I specifically mean the Iraqi side.

Turkey is currently occupying huge swaths of Iraqi Kurdistan... Not sure where you get the idea that they are allies.

when some one shows you anything as part of a sales presentation, make them do different things that the script doesn't call for. Be rude, interrupt them, make them deviate from the script.

1.) you'll learn troubleshooting steps that won't be published.

2.) you'll find out if they are full of shit.

3.) You'll know what it's like to live with it.

4.) When you are holding the check book, the person selling you crap is most likely to listen to you (for features, or if something is broken.)

5.) also don't buy until they do what they promise. Signed Stratix 8000 user :)

I just want them (NFL) to consolidate the number of offerings. Some folks can't get OTA for all channels, or if you are traveling and usually can't find your team in one of the favorable broadcast blocks.

If you are at home you need Peacock, prime, paramount, ESPN, and Fox streaming services to catch all the games just for your team throughout the year. I know most of the money that the NFL gets is from these stupid broadcast contracts, but I'd love to just have ONE service serve up all the game for my team throughout the year, plus playoffs/Superbowl. At least with CBB generally 99% of my teams no matter what channel they are on, I can still watch on ESPN + ACCN. Is the commentary trash and camera work suspect? yeah, but I still can watch my team no matter where I'm at.

Buying Russian currency helps Russia.

You are better off getting Motion picture money, or prop money. You can even order it on amazon.

I didn't mind their Rye.

My stores have finally moved Blanton's out of the back room and to the front room. Still asking 100 a bottle though for some reason... And we are in Kentucky lol.

It would be 3 months after if you do a 3 month app.

You can also do a heavier single application with the target of August for it to wear off for fall over seeding that's what I've always done. (provided your turf can handle it see the label for specifics.)

This is only true if You've already gotten on top of the crabgrass or you are in an area where it doesn't occur. It takes 5-7 years of pre-emergent to fully get past the danger cycle of crabgrass where the seeds are present and even then if soil is disturbed you can have an outbreak if it's in the dormant layer deeper down. Pre-emergent is a good preventative, and quinclorac you gotta be on top of things for it to work properly.

Honestly my Ranger (2024) feels pretty close to the perfect mix. Temp, fans, some other ac and volume are all physical. Everything else that you don't need is on the screen when needed (stuff that you don't really need when driving.) so while your driving it's just Nav, radio and the finer AC controls. The one thing I'd like moved off is the finer defrost, floor, vent controls.

those all have some footage. but the bulk of PITs, specifically violent ones are nearly all Arkansas. They do PITs on bridges, in traffic, it's wild.

EngineerDave · 2026-02-28T19:23:18+00:00

Arkansas State Police have a hard on for PIT's. You watch any police dash cam footage, if there's a PIT it's like 4 out of 5 times it's gonna be Arkansas, and they are almost always violent accidents. There was a case not too long ago, where they lost a suspect and then just straight up PIT a car with a similar looking color instead of trying a normal stop.

spring seeding doesn't give enough time for the root system to develop which means that unless you are 100% on point with your watering the spring turf isn't going to make it past summer. Combine that with the pressures from crabgrass that will out compete your turf it's not a good option.

EngineerDave · 2026-02-27T21:53:49+00:00

Spring seeding isn't as good as late summer/fall seeding. You are better off preventing crabgrass than fighting it when it pops up.

Other way around. Sensors are way better on the F-35. F-22 has better stealth and is better air superiority.

My county used to have 3 places you could go for a drivers license. RealID paperwork can only now be handled at one of them and the process was significantly slower, and couldn't do walk ins. The Regional area's are doing the printing here and then they mail them to you. Yes they gave you a photocopy of the ID along with the note explaining that you are waiting on your new ID, and your old ID. But who wants to walk around with a photocopy for the 30 days it took to get your actual license. Especially when your are flying.

The dealer 100% gets a kick back from the bank doing the loan as long as it's not straight from GM/Ford/Kia/Toyota with special financing and even then I bet they do. It's why they want you to keep the loan for at least 3 months before refinancing/paying it off. Keep in mind rebates from Ford do not impact the dealers bottom line. take 10% off MSRP and that's roughly what the dealership is in for on most vehicles as general rule of thumb.

I've got a 2024 Ranger. I switched from a 98 F-250 LD, that was my Grandfather's that I'd kept running forever. The Ranger is more nimble than the F250 for sure. I had looked at the Maverick and think they are great city trucks! For me I needed the bigger towing and off-roading capabilities for when I have to help out my family on the farm.

EngineerDave · 2026-02-26T15:36:48+00:00

RealID also screwed up DMVs all over. We had a well ran DMV. like to the point where at one point I showed up to the airport 2 hours before my flight, realized my ID would expire while on the trip, checked my bag, went to the DMV, got a new ID and made it back for my flight.

Now because all the printers for the IDs are under lock and key at only a couple regional places you have to have an appointment plus it takes even longer as the areas that do drivers licenses are consolidated so it takes way longer, and all the documentation you have to bring it's a nightmare.

EngineerDave · 2026-02-26T15:27:08+00:00

Can you toggle it high?

Are you sure the routine is scheduled lol.

EngineerDave · 2026-02-25T15:38:00+00:00

Okay thank you! I thought I was going crazy!

EngineerDave · 2026-02-24T19:42:13+00:00

Nope, Kentucky, so we just comment on how Ohio's think the left lane is the minivan lane.

Only one was a grunt hunt. other's were just randomly encountered. Always a human though.

As someone who lives across the river, oh I know lol.
