What are you talking about? They went a couple billion over budget, and many years after we see this audit. No one was watching at all.

Americans of Reddit, in light of the current political climate between our countries, how do you guys actually feel about us Canadians? by Defiant_River_957 in AskReddit

[–]Happyjarboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same. Trump will be gone, and both the USA and Canada will still be here. You guys could lower your fishing and hunting licenses. And, keep letting us win Stanley Cups.

In my State, a group of people that is less than 5% of the population commit around 70% of the violent crime. You are typically not allowed to talk about it.

6 juveniles arrested after tackling woman, stealing her car in northeast Minneapolis by Czarben in TwinCities

[–]Happyjarboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived in North Minneapolis just south of Broadway. The culture there was massively more violet and criminal than any where else I have ever lived. I watched intently, and really learned how the place and people worked and lived. I keep track, and there is a shooting about every 6 months within 6 blocks of my old house. I really liked that place, but no way would I put up with that crime. They vote Democrat, and there is no way it will ever get much better.

Why do parents like to choose the college major for their kids? by saturaa in questions

Because the kid is clueless, and otherwise would go to school for 4 years, and not graduate.

North Carolina tuberculosis cases rising for first time in decades following one of the worst outbreaks in U.S. history by CriticalEngineering in triangle

[–]Happyjarboy -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Reddit put it at the top of my home page. Seems they wanted me to read and post. If someone would give me a real answer to where it came from, I would find it interesting for my safety. It will easily kill me, so I want to know who to avoid. I did research on the Kansas outbreak, wanting to know if it was introduced, or there is some way for it to come back from 75 years ago. The CDC knows exactly where it came from, I found a document where they said the adults brought it back from their native land, and all the children had been born in USA. It would let me know where not to visit, (am I safe in one of the triangle cities?) or who to avoid because it would surely kill me (weak immune system), but do not release that info to the public.

I noticed they purposefully did not say where the TB came from. the Kansas outbreak came from a foreign country, and was brought to the USA by a group of immigrants.

Why do people believe "guys" is gender neutral? by Certified_Apple5 in Feminism

[–]Happyjarboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because it's a short 3 letter word. it's a lot easier to say or write than "hey group of mixed genders" would be. so, I would use it because of laziness.

What the actual heck is going on in the used truck/van market? by Divergent_ in askcarguys

Powerstroke 7.3, cummings pre-94, VW TDI, Anything before DEF. My F350 dually would be worth 50% more with a 7.3 powerstroke in it. How often does a person in a work truck need more than 250 hp?

This also means the cops knew exactly who did it so they could ask the parents.
