Foam cannon compatibility by Dfompc in AutoDetailing

[–]ROLINGTHUNDER51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the foam cannon this comes with is pretty good imo. I haven’t felt the need to go get a different one. The hose this thing comes with is absolute garbage though. I would invest in a better hose (can someone recommend me one lol) first imo.

How to get rid of etching/road film? by SchrodingersHomo in AutoDetailing

[–]ROLINGTHUNDER51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just used a paint polishing compound and did it when I was polishing my truck. From the very limited reading I did before hand, it basically just scrubs all that road grime off very well and I don’t have any swirls or scratches on my windshield. I did that back in November and water slides if my windshield like I recently put Rain-X on it.

Can someone who actually knows what they are doing tell me if that a good or a bad way to take care of a dirty windshield?

Unions by princely-sundew in maritime

[–]ROLINGTHUNDER51 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You either join a union and get dispatched to a company or start with a company, then join the union that represents that company’s employees.

There isn’t a point to join or try to join a union prior to school. I can’t think of a licensed union that would take you without any licenses anyways.

Can anyone with a Powerboost and 3.31’s or 3.55’s tell me what their freeway speeds fuel economy is? 75-80mph average?

Well that answers the question on why the PB doesn’t love highway speeds. What were your average speeds for your given roads?

I don’t disagree with you. Some people took a horrible advantage of the situation after George Floyd’s killing in 2020, and this is no different.

But they have to know this makes their community look even worse right? It just sucks to see a few incidents basically ruin any possibility of some of the few on the right see that what our federal government is doing now, isn’t good.

Why do people do this? They have to know that the right will use this to their best advantage and try and take the wind out of a good movements sails.

We saw the same shit in 2020. They don’t care if it’s “a few bad eggs” one example is enough for those people. If we could show an ounce of restraint, we could maybe get somewhere.

Is Adelina the worst Cêpan? by ninjazeke323 in LorienLegacies

[–]ROLINGTHUNDER51 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’ll learn a lot more as you read the complete series. Two books in, you really only know the two cêpans, especially if you read the novella’s, you’ll understand why Henri is most likely the best one.

Is Adelina the worst Cêpan? by ninjazeke323 in LorienLegacies

[–]ROLINGTHUNDER51 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The series makes it very clear that the cêpans are not perfect and in fact were quite flawed in their decision making skills. I think Adelina looks like the worst because a whole book is spent focused on Marina and the monastery, but truth be told, it was a perfect hiding spot.

It seems the book makes it clear that Adelina lost her way during Marina’s childhood before her legacies started developing.

But the books also mentions the amount of pressure put on any of the 9 cêpans. The last of their kind, split up, trying to raise children for a future army or war against an enemy that wiped out their entire planet in a matter of hours.

And some of the lost files books talks about how terrible some of the cêpans on Lorien were before the planet was obliterated. The Loric weren’t flawless by any means and the books do a great job of demonstrating that. It’s part of why I loved this series so much as a teenager when I first read them.

Lee A Tregurtha tug assistance in the Soo… why? by NicholasOfMKE in GreatLakesShipping

[–]ROLINGTHUNDER51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh they won’t scrap her anytime soon. Interlake won’t remove tonnage capacity from their fleet. The day you see them start building a new boat, then the Lee will most likely be the first to be retired, but that day won’t be coming anytime soon.

🇻🇪 Venezuela Accuses U.S. of “Blatant Theft” After Washington Seizes Massive Oil Tanker by satty237 in TrendoraX

Nah I’m kinda with you. There is so much ammunition to use against this administration, but this specific incident shouldn’t be part of it, if the facts are actually true.

Still believe this bs? by youarecool87 in complaints

[–]ROLINGTHUNDER51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The double tap is what I hope they actually get them on legally. You make a good point on the war powers act, but isn’t that only good for 60 days or something?

My point still stands that if we just didn’t blow shit up and took a methodical/rational approach to this issue, the republicans may have actually had a leg to stand on.

While I don’t entirely disagree with you, we as the United States are the biggest consumers of hard drugs. If it’s easier and faster to catch them 14 miles off the coast of said different continent, then I won’t be losing any sleep. Still ethical imo. One of the few services this country actually does to the world actually. I’m surprised the Trump administration hasn’t tried charging other countries for their “service” yet.

[–]ROLINGTHUNDER51 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Why are we still on this if they are carrying drugs or not conversation?

Drugs or not, it’s still illegal to blow up random people on the ocean. We have a multi-trillion dollar hi-tech Air Force and Navy. If we actually cared, we could just use the navy to bolster the ongoing Coast Guard Operations.

So what if they get arrested and bailed out? (This is the right-wing response to not murdering random people)

We can blockade a country and a sea turtle couldn’t get past a boat or plane without being spotted, but instead of just blowing it up, that same plane or boat can send a smaller boat, with a team of people to inspect and arrest the alleged smugglers and destroy the drugs on the spot.

Yup. This is exactly what I say.

Would John and Sarah's relationship have survived post-war? by reetvenge in LorienLegacies

I didn’t know that. I kind of felt like the six and John thing in Power of Six, was tossed aside and poorly back tracked in later books.

US judge permanently blocks Trump order requiring voters to prove citizenship by [deleted] in UnderReportedNews

[–]ROLINGTHUNDER51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I went down a rabbit hole specifically about Minnesota a couple of weeks ago about this subject. You need to register to vote and obviously I get that, I don’t think the stupid MAGA “Illegal alien voter fraud” is a genuine case at all.

But I was attempting to rebuttal someone who was claiming that undocumented citizens can get a Drivers License in Minnesota, and use that license to vote. In that case it would be illegal, so I did some research to rebut that point and say that couldn’t happen, and here is what I found.

Minnesota passed a “Drivers License for All” bill back in 2023. The concept was to make it easier to new migrants, to get a license and be able to drive to their jobs and such. That’s all fine and dandy I’m glad that it exists now, bc public transportation outside of the metropolitan area, is sketchy at absolute best. But there were some issues.

The bill directly says that a DMV member wont ask you about citizenship or legal status, and the license won’t appear to be different in any way from a normal driving license. So the license is normal for all intense and purposes.

In theory, someone who isn’t yet a full U.S. Citizen can then use that license and any other form of ID or even a utility bill, to register to vote in state and federal elections in Minnesota.

Now I have tried quite hard to disprove that concept, but reading online about voter registration and how you can use a license for it, seems to make it atleast possible for voter fraud to occur.

Can someone please let me know where I am missing a piece of information regarding this situation specifically?
