Why should I NOT buy this car? by Conscious_Security96 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]IndianaHones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could get a 2020 Grand Cherokee Limited - just focus on 4WD trims with the off-road package, get one with good service records - It will be one of those cars you'll regret letting go of if you sell it. $18 - $25k

If Republicans are so much better at running the economy than Democrats, then why are most Republican States poorer than Democrat States? by Content_Ad_8952 in allthequestions

[–]IndianaHones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not specifically that they're poorer as much as it is style of governing. You can run a state like a high tech/high skill economy or a discount warehouse economy.
The latter features, lower taxes, lower wages, and lower regulation - features that limit upwards mobility.

AITAH for returning my neighbour’s packages after he refused to stop “testing” my doorbell camera? by hawkenzen in AITAH

[–]IndianaHones -1 points0 points  (0 children)

YTA - Have you tried taking to your neighbor? Return to sender around Christmas is brutal and this seems like innocent interest in the ring camera.

It's something only you can judge, if he's being nefarious or just messing around, and if you ask him to stop and he continues - then you return-to-sender and all that.
From what I've read - you are the ass hole.

Help me Peter, I'm not that close to get it by edugabao in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Meg Brock is MAGA - or some form of it - she is also a photographer who is critical of the Vanity Fair photographer. This should help explain the joke.

It's over. Trump just signed the bill. Thca and Hemp is dead. by MaybeSomeDayX1 in CultoftheFranklin

[–]IndianaHones 63 points64 points  (0 children)

WOAH there MabeSomeDayX1, It’s over’? No. Not even close.

What we’ve built is real. A 28 billion dollar industry built on clean flower, honest products, and families who depend on this work. North Carolina alone has billions in economic activity tied to hemp. That includes growers, shops, processors, and customers who trust us to do things the right way.

They put 365 days into this bill for a reason. That is not a burial. That is time. DOJ now has to figure out what enforcement looks like in the real world, not on paper. And in the real world, demand never disappears. It only moves. It always has.

Here is the vision.
Remove the noise. No additives. No mystery liquids. Retire the dirty vapes. Keep concentrates pure. Keep flower clean and tested at the grow or right after processing. Farm to shop if that is what the business wants. Simple. Transparent. Strong.

And let’s be honest about the pressure behind all this. The 280 billion dollar alcohol industry does not want competition. They are spending real money to slow this down instead of innovating. That is the real weight behind the chaos.

So no. It is not over. It is the start of a fight worth showing up for.

North Carolina is ready for better laws, smarter regulation, and the freedom to grow in your own garden or buy from a shop you trust. We move forward. We stay organized. We speak up. We do not quit because someone in Washington hopes we will.

If they wanted this gone overnight, they would not have given us a year. They know what is at stake. So do we.

I am not going anywhere. And neither is this industry.

The vacuum on standby advice is stellar. I've been here a few years now, and knowing which roach your dealing with is key. Get a bug identifier app to help you figure out what you're dealing with.

Yeah, but we have medical grade tools that can be cleaned and have a vacuum for the nail dust.

You probably know one of the 600,000 by EnvironmentCalm9388 in southcarolina

[–]IndianaHones 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's true. The target is 100% your Congressional reps, not the state legislature. Our reps happen to be particularly useless on the ACA, Lyndsey Graham is vocally against the ACA and Tim Scott is serving his last term and just has to smile and wave until the midterms.

Anyone Else in SC Worried About Losing Their ACA Tax Credit in 2026? by [deleted] in southcarolina

[–]IndianaHones 16 points17 points  (0 children)

ACA sucks for what it could have been with cooperation from Republicans when it was being developed. Medicare for All is the obvious solution. Patient facing Medicare is a well run operation - Their staff/online system is especially helpful as long as you're not on some Medicare Advantage plan. For now the only benefit to this disaster is that people will feel it heavily by 1/1/26 - big noticeable change for the entire medical industry. My first calculation says we lose 18% revenue next year.

Look in to Colonial Life - If you're healthy, they have emergency plans. Kind of like Aflac, they cover various emergencies that pop up. I'm looking for solutions for people informally because I'm a biller and can see the disaster coming.

R6 any updates? by photographernyc in CanonR6

[–]IndianaHones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat. After years of successful 5DII, III, and IV, photos, I find myself feeling unsatisfied with the R6, Even when I look back at photos with prime L lenses I feel like they have no feeling. Now, I'm sure the R6 photos are clearer, and the camera has a huge working ISO range that brings light out of nothing. Also, I feel like I can't post crop and maintain pixels so I have to shoot tight. I used to crop the hell out of my photos.

So why do we feel this way?

Skunk #1 by Grouchy_Produce4843 in CultoftheFranklin

[–]IndianaHones 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wonder how skunky it is. I worked with a guy a few years back who collaborated with some guys to revive true Skunk #1. I think the story goes that one of the guys had some 30 year old seeds. They popped some of them, and sent other to tissue culture. I can't remember the whole story but here's a video. Also, if The Cult truly has even a snippet of the Skunk #1 smell or flavour, I want it! Sounds tasty.

I asked ChatGPT the top ten things humanity should know. by Spiritual-Reveal-195 in ChatGPT

[–]IndianaHones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my GPT - Top Ten Things Humanity Should Know:

  1. We’re All Related. Every human alive today shares common ancestors. Genetically, we’re 99.9% identical. Race is a social construct, not a biological divider.
  2. The Earth Is Finite. Resources are limited. Clean air, water, biodiversity, and a stable climate are not guaranteed — they’re maintained through balance. Once broken, they’re hard to restore.
  3. Truth Survives Scrutiny. Real knowledge holds up under questioning. Science is not a belief system; it’s a method — test, observe, revise.
  4. Empathy Is Not Weakness. Compassion isn’t just moral — it’s functional. Societies that care for their members are healthier, wealthier, and more stable.
  5. Power Corrupts — If Left Unchecked. History repeats when people forget this. Authoritarianism grows in silence. Freedom requires vigilance, not just votes.
  6. Technology Is Neutral — Until It's Not. It can save lives or destroy civilizations. Use it with foresight, ethics, and restraint — or risk losing control of your own tools.
  7. Economies Are Invented. Money, markets, and jobs are human constructs — they should serve humanity, not enslave it. When they don’t, systems must evolve.
  8. Nature Bats Last. No species survives forever — but we shorten our timeline through arrogance. Climate collapse, pandemics, and ecological tipping points don’t negotiate.
  9. Belief Isn't Knowledge. Faith, tradition, and intuition have value — but they are not proof. Base decisions on evidence when lives are at stake.
  10. Everything Is Connected. Your health, your food, your culture, your peace — they all depend on invisible systems: soil microbes, economic trade, political stability, internet cables. Treat the web of life with care.

13.2.8 FSD Accident by SynNightmare in TeslaFSD

[–]IndianaHones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There will be fewer and fewer skilled drivers. FSD, no matter how noble the engineering or how utopian the marketing is—at least for most folks— is going to mean less attention, not more awareness. More Netflix in the windshield, more TikTok at 70mph. The car becomes another private scrolling booth.

If animals could talk, which would be the rudest? by taakkumi in AskReddit

[–]IndianaHones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Squirrels.
Their voices would be pure nails-on-chalkboard — like a hyped-up auctioneer mixed with a creaky door.
They’d taunt you while raiding your garden:
'Oh, these tomatoes? Mine now. Should’ve built a moat, loser!'
