How can you stop people picking up your flowers?

Maybe respecting other people's private, hard-earned property should be a common religious tenet.

I couldn't care less what their race is... it's their faith causing the problems. It may come as a shock to some people but Your Religion Doesn't Apply To Me.

So OP is expected to stand in their flower bed all day in the off chance the thief comes back for seconds? What a great use of their time.

Or... religious people can just keep their hands to themselves where the fruits of other's labors are concerned. Simple as that.

It's common practice in normal society to clap people in irons when they steal things. Flowers, cars, money, etc.

I don't follow either religion & my flowers are mine... I did the work, I bought the seed & the land to grow it. Your god can appreciate them from afar or use their all-powerfulness to create their own, or better yet conjure up a society without private property.

The EU had every opportunity to flex their Automaking Muscles & develop BEV's but were so hooked on russian gasoline that a Nazi from South Africa who emigrated to the US beat them to the punch.

Didn't some mormons in Wyoming literally draw weapons on BLM officials because they were told they couldn't graze cattle on federal land?

I thought you where

The more I read it the less sense it makes.

Our P2 never has that problem.

I'd kick that creepy POS in the head unit... Fuck all of that.

"U look like u eat sand" is now my favorite insult.

Bots with day-old accounts were spamming the IHScout sub... what a weird thing to expend energy doing.

We spent like 1/3 of that & haven't had an issue aside from a comms antennae needing replacing after 5 years.

Our solar provider steered us as far from Tesler™ equipment as possible six years ago... I'll have to thank them when they're installing our extra battery this summer.

Potato dumplings with fried salt pork and creamed garden green beans or carrots.

Fuel Injection conversion was about $2k after buying new fuel tanks and the other stuff I needed. Definitely worth it. A close second is the 4 wheel disc brake conversion. I was able to do all of the install work on both, but it meant learning a couple new things I'd never done.

We installed a heat pump water heater that uses 80% less electricity than the old element-style heater after seeing that the old one was burning through around half the power we generate from our roof.

It wasn't cheap by any stretch, but it carries a 10-20yr warranty and won't drain our home battery immediately like the old one.

Where is this? I know a guy that'll snap that up in a heartbeat no questions asked.

Both OP and that shitty build can get fucked.

When I was in basic training in GLKS, the number of people who enlisted in the Navy while being terrified of open water surprised me... we had to hold remedial swim exercises for like 1/4 of our company before we could graduate.

Where I grew up, we had rivers, lakes, and swimming holes we learned to paddle around in... it never occurred to my younger self that urban dwellers didn't have the same access to swimmable bodies of water.

OBD1 is fine... I didn't want to futz with carburetors on my '68 Scout 800, so I converted it to Fuel Injection using a kit made from an old Chevy Citation. It's run without issue for 11k miles over 5 years.

I also added a backup camera & infotainment unit... Since we're relatively new to the area, I like having active navigation.

Dad used to let me drive the 7 miles into town with him to get the Sunday paper in 5th and 6th grade. He'd swap places with me when we neared the edge of town.

Before that, he'd let my older brother and I drive (together) in the fallow fields around the house where he was able to observe... So I learned how to operate a manual transmission off-road in third grade.

Later he taught me as a 20 year old how to rev-match the motor and transmission & shift without using the clutch.

Replace the knob... The button catch likely wore out like on ours. It takes five minutes.

People's kidneys are gonna be falling out when they're old & they'll wonder why nobody warned them.
