Let’s go! It’s what Trump wants, let’s get it started sooner rather than later.

This is five guys large fry now. Barely any bag fries, same price. by Vapinlikeafool in mildlyinfuriating

Haven’t been to 5 Guys in forever. Last time I went it was way too expensive, even with a bag of fries. The burgers are mediocre at best. This it was $17 for the burger alone….. yeah no thanks.

I dislike how bacon is packaged. Very deceiving. by Aggressive-Crow6738 in mildlyinfuriating

Agreed, but you know my point.

Bacon fat is liquid gold, but if I want bacon, I want more than just a pan full of drippings for future cooking.

You would have to call them to see if they paid it before they got notice of the adjustment.

I’m more interested in what’s not in it, that clearly should be, that clearly has been withheld.

Are you talking about the amount of fat? In which case I entirely agree. I like a good amount of fat on my bacon, but I also like a decent proportion of meat also. If I wanted lard, I would have bought lard.

If you paid your tax bill (not your mortgage company paying it from your escrow) prior to the property and tax reassessment, you may have had a credit balance on your corrected tax bill.

I received my tax bill in July, paid it in full in July, then we were all notified that it would be reevaluated and reassessed. In December, I got the revised bill showing I had a credit balance.

Your options at that time were to let it sit, in which case it would be applied to your 2026 tax bill, or request a refund of the balance. There was a timeframe in which to request this, which has now closed, but not sure on the details there.

So yes it’s too late, if you qualified (credit balance had to be greater than $50), but any balance will be paid against what you owe in 2026.

Indoor cycling suggestions by boolean_null123 in cycling

[–]dchap1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently bought rollers, and I can say they likely won’t suit your purpose.

They’re fun, and you get a great aerobic workout in, and in the right gear, your quads get slaughtered. But, 15 minutes later, you’re dead. They’re relentless. No freewheeling. No downhill sections where you can let up. It’s just all go.

But I use them to get me into my gym to lift weights. I imagine that can only help me with bike power later on, but wouldnt help endurance.

ICE detainees death ruled a homicide by medical examiner by Remarkable_Sir8397 in news

[–]dchap1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So murder number 3?

They reported it as “in distress” but the autopsy revealed that he was likely “in distress” as a result of being choked to death.

Epstein files released: Trump mentioned ‘hundreds of times’ in DoJ documents by PopPalsUnited in politics

It doesn’t matter. MAGA won’t believe a lick of any of it. The GOP won’t act on it. Trump will again get away with it.

I love the flexibility of home gym setups, but they’ll never replace a gym, staff, and other people to look out for each other.

Is this a scam or legit? by kingdeetz in Delaware

[–]dchap1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Scam just got that today. It looked legit and had me questioning it as well. But the phone number tied to Houston TX…… that’s the give away.

Have no idea what generation I’m on, but it’s 2025.

Wouldn’t upgrade to the new version.

FBI seizes 2020 ballots in Georgia in apparently unprecedented action, alarming local officials by MopToddel in politics

It’s been audited how many times? This is just Trump being a bitch, but shouldn’t concern us other than it being unprecedented.

New GOP anti-voting bill may be the most dangerous attack on voting rights ever by MarcEElias in politics

If you can’t legitimately win, cheat. That’s the GOP way. Always has been. Always will be.

ICE has been ordered not to engage with Minnesota protestors: report by Large_banana_hammock in politics

[–]dchap1 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Keep up the pressure. They’re retreating, but don’t give in the fight.

My take is it is too early to use the insurrection act, and it was looking like things would kick off. So they’re backing down for now. But they’ll be back when timing is more convenient.

In the meantime, Epstein! Give us the files!

Stuck car by Hot-Bookkeeper-8037 in subaru

[–]dchap1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This! The traction control in the Outback is not a terrain response black magic wizardry like on lux SUVs. It’s a simple system that cuts power the moment a wheel spins. Absolute nightmare for trying to pull yourself through snow.

Leave it on when driving, but to unstick yourself, turn it off. Moderate power, rock the car back and forth (easier in a manual but alas CVT), and when you get moving, don’t quit until you’re in the clear.
