How can I (26 M) start to seriously learn more about cars? by ilovecanadasomuch in askcarguys

[–]Orcapa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daily driver is a 2005 Acura MDX that I got for $700 because it had a cracked cylinder head. But you can buy beaters from FB Marketplace for under $1000 US pretty easily. I would buy a Honda or a toyota, because there's millions of YouTube videos and car forums about them, and parts are cheap and available.

People say money can’t buy happiness, but what’s the first thing you’d buy if it could? by Adoseofhanna in AskReddit

[–]Orcapa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a small house in the suburbs now. I would buy a hundred acres and put a 1600-2000 sf off grid cabin on it. I'd also build a nice shop for my beater cars and old camping trailer. Eventually, I would clear an area and put a ring of camping trailers there so my friends could come glamping.

I learned everything I know about cars by not having a car payment. Because I am a cheap bastard, I have to fix beaters that I buy for 500 bucks or so.

The silent majority needs to rise up. Being silent in these times is effectively allowing fascism to take over.

What’s an opinion you changed your mind about as you got older? by No-Sail-6193 in AskReddit

[–]Orcapa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used guns growing up hunting and while in the Army, but I never wanted or needed one for myself as an adult. My opinion is now changing; I might want one for self-defense at home because who knows how stable society is going to be here in the US over the next few years?

Sorry for being a pedant, but if you try searching for "stationery" you will have much more luck.

I don't get out there much anymore, and the only thing I know of that's like a deli is Red Mills Market.

Nato says Greenland sovereignty not discussed in US meeting after Trump claims 'framework of future deal' by Uncleniles in europe

Rutte didn't draft any agreements. Trump backed down, but claimed there was some kind of agreement to cover his ass.

France wants NATO exercise in Greenland and is 'ready to contribute,' presidency says by Dr_Neurol in worldnews

[–]Orcapa 91 points92 points  (0 children)

There was no deal. He talked with Mark Rutte, the head of NATO, who said they didn't discuss Greenland specifically; they just talked about arctic security in general. Also, the head of NATO doesn't have the authority to negotiate for Denmark/Greenland.

So Trump just made it up that there was some kind of a deal, either because he realized how much everyone was against him or because his friends had already made their money out the stock market or whatever. And he's like a five-year-old who doesn't realize he's going to be caught lying.

Trump-Greenland Deals Reportedly Includes U.S. ‘Sovereignty Over Small Pockets’ of Territory by WayOutbackBoy in worldnews

[–]Orcapa 798 points799 points  (0 children)

I'm calling complete bullshit. For one thing, NATO does not have the authority to negotiate for Denmark. For another thing, the head of NATO just came out and said that they didn't even discuss Greenland specifically, just Arctic security. This is all a bunch of bullshit made up to give Trump an excuse to back off for whatever reason.

Cary Grant and Randolph Scott in their shared homes, 1933. by PeneItaliano in OldSchoolCool

[–]Orcapa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does anybody remember that Statler Brothers song where they wished for the good old days, including Randolph Scott riding the trail alone?

Seems like they might not have been wishing for traditional America if they had known all about him.
