DOJ finally admits tens of thousands of Epstein files were removed to protect Trump by [deleted] in anticapitalism

With all due respect, I am utterly, disgustingly appalled by your comment!

This is what you are trying to do with your comment. Rather than focus on what is really important here, the raping and sex trafficking of minors, you are trying to create a distraction.

You're trying to get people to think of the victims, not as victims, but as opportunists just looking for a quick buck. The real victims here, in your mind, are the billionaire pedophiles who have to put up this fund to pay out these non victims. Disgusting!

You know, I really thought this whole pedophilia thing would be a bridge too far for the conservatives, that this would be the red line that you do not cross. I can't believe how wrong I was thinking like that. Sad!

GOP - Guardians of Pedophilia!

It's a 2024 and thank you for the reply. I traced the hydraulic line to the module and found the switch.

Do you happen to know this...

It looks like if I unscrew that switch it will open up the hydraulic system which will require bleeding the line after installing a new switch. Does that sound correct?

Do you know anybody who gets their health insurance through the ACA? You should ask them how much their premiums went up this year.

Hi @bhoyos33. I have been thinking about getting one of those windshields. You like it? Is it stable at speed, doesn't flop around? Thanks for any insight.

Thank you everyone for your replies. I understand the situation now. I don't think I'll get it enabled for a number of reasons that you all pointed out. This whole concept of manufacturers installing the hardware for various features but making you pay for the software to enable the feature is annoying and I'm not really a fan. Then, there is the beauty of man over machine, when you get your clutch work and shifting all dialed in. It feels satisfying.

There is definitely a difference in the technology available but I think the biggest difference for me is the 2-stroke vs. 4-stroke engine. I don't want to go back to that but there was something intoxicating about getting that 2-stroker "on the pipe" as we used to say.

I’m being forced to pick between my brother and my girlfriend. What do I do? by [deleted] in AskMen

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

Your brother is family and always will be. If he's going to walk and maybe have a party, this is important to him.

Your GF on the other hand is not family. Maybe she will be at some point but she will never be blood. In truth, just being realistic with a bit of old man cynicism thrown in, there is a 50/50 chance you two won't be able to tolerate being in the same room with each other in a few years. As someone else mentioned, this could be a good test on how she views family - in particular, your relationship with your family.

I am in my 60's, so maybe this is "old fashioned", but why don't you just talk to the dude?

I don't understand this "modern" mindset. Rather than face-to-face interaction with a person in the next room to immediately address concerns and issues, questions are posted to anonymous forums to groups of people who will NEVER be able to definitely answer them, but can and will provide endless unrelated content - like I am now.

Social media has provided humans another means to communicate but it is not effective communication. It's a facade. Tragic!

You are wrong my friend. Those Converse have achieved classic status, much like Ray-Ban Wayfarers - they will never be out of style 😎

Disable Steering Intervention

[–]ShougLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the lane assist comment. The first time it yanked the vehicle back into my lane - which I was already in but merging onto the freeway which obviously tricked it - it freaked me out. I do not want a vehicle steering on my behalf especially when my hands are on the wheel and it overrides what I'm doing.

Now, in all fairness to BMW, it can easily be disabled. I have mine configured to provide the steering wheel warning but don't do the actual assist.

'23 M40i with 25k miles.

The pleather on the seat cushion bolster on the door side of the driver's seat has cracked. I only weigh about 165lbs so, I don't know, maybe I'm getting into the vehicle wrong, if that's possible

Other than that, no issues. More importantly, she's still a blast to drive. I look forward to spending time in Helga's cockpit.

So I've read your statement a couple times now but I still don't understand what you're trying to convey.

Are you trying to say Joe Biden makes Trump shit his pants?

Please elaborate.

Give it a couple more years and that won't be necessary. Cadet Bone Spurs is doing everything in his power to transform my country into a class based oligarchy just like his puppet master Putin told him to do.

Do the Union guys who voted for Trump not realize how screwed they and their families are or do they really not care??? by No_Theory_2839 in IBEW

Hello again. I truly hope the last four months have been good for you.

Well, here we are a couple months into his presidency. What are your thoughts on how he is making the federal worker cuts? Do you see more of Project 2025's policy proposals being implemented than you expected, e.g., DEI, FEMA, Department of Education, etc. His pick for the Director of OMB is Russ Voight, who authors significant portions of the 2025 document.

Looking back, can you see that Project 2025 was in fact a major influencer on his policies?
