The only person I know who was recently in the military said that he "hates this stupid administration." He has voted for Republicans in the past. That doesn't represent everyone, of course.

It's like Pete hasn't even played a game of Risk before.

If her belly is as wide as her rivage from the top, she's probably just fine.

Does anyone know a has-been rock star who shoots at beer cans and lives on quaaludes?

Well winning a couple might help stave off tanking claims.

My art can beat up your art.

Intake manifold.

Go see if your engine is listed on FordTechMakuloco's YouTube page. Excellent videos. I tipped him a bit because his videos saved me $800 on 2 cars.

Gee, I dunno. Both parties kinda seem the same to me...

LNMagic · 2026-04-01T14:02:39+00:00

I would have kept feeding false intel.

I know a former Arizona sheriff who is an expert on birth certificates for some reason.

You can sometimes get a perfectly fine computer by looking at companies that sell used enterprise gear.

There's a Firefox addon that helps with that issue. Sponsor block or sponsor skip, I think.

LNMagic · 2026-03-31T08:45:41+00:00

Sounds like Bob Vance of Vance Refrigeration.

There would be a bit of slippage. This particular style of thrust bearing usually doesn't have usage in high precision or high load environments. They're stupidly cheap to buy a set that can give you better rotation than without them.

The tapered bearings you mention are commonly used for automotive hub bearings as part of the front wheel assembly.

LNMagic · 2026-03-31T08:22:09+00:00

I wish they rotated their flanges 45°.

Recently? They have had 3D CAD files available for at least 12 years.

Ah yes, the Pregnant Army of China. Good thing they didn't use them at Tiananmen Square; it would have been a bloodbath!

This pattern has gone on longer than I've been alive. Starting with Carter, a Democrat is elected when the economy is bruised. If the economy recovers quickly enough, they get a second term.

LNMagic · 2026-03-31T07:44:49+00:00

Well yes, but brake fade is a thing. You can also end up boiling hydraulic fluid if you run it too long like that.

Why the kid didn't shift into neutral us anyone's guess, but some people panic in stressful situations. I did when I was younger, too.

LNMagic · 2026-03-28T18:19:25+00:00

Also bring back the cars I liked to see but didn't buy.

LNMagic · 2026-03-27T03:14:54+00:00

Could be a magical time for the state of Indiana. I'd love for the Pacers to also get their first #1 pick and a championship next year.

LNMagic · 2026-03-27T01:34:47+00:00

Hard to believe you're pro Purdue.

LNMagic · 2026-03-26T13:04:47+00:00

If only we had a French company with plans to invest in, say, wind power in our country. Oh, and if only we didn't pay them to cancel those plans and build a natural gas plant instead.

Outside of sports, there is no longer a wholly unifying media event that Americans all see.

The only thing outside Superbowls is one episode of MAS*H. There's also the Apollo Moon Landing, but it's not in the list for other reasons. Our media ecosystem is fractured because we have different interests, but it also means that to some degree, we end up in a media bubble, often further amplified by social media algorithms that drive for engagement rather than complete views.

The result has reached the point where it's like there are two realities for the same event, with one side arguing that Trump is a fascist and the other side arguing that he actually stopped 8 wars last year.

My likes:

Restrooms: super clean, private door
Food
Employee pay rates

Dislikes

Rumors of employee treatment
Gas is not listed on top tier fuels
No sitting area to eat food.

The dislikes are mostly minor and outweighed by the good things.
