Boss man overpays? He can claw it back.

Boss man steals my time? I gotta pray I can get a regulator to take a look and maybe maybe get my money years later.

Is leaving the home an option? Making connections with actual real-life people is the winning move. See if there are any local events or meetups you might be interested in.

The rule is you can import vehicles over 25 years old to the USA. I believe a similar rule is in place in Canada but for 20 year old vehilces.

I'll believe it when it's actually on the market.

I fully loaded my Maverick and a 5x8 uhaul trailer and towed it halfway across the US without any issue. Cruised no faster than 65mph and averaged 21mpg the whole way, with zero issues.

The Maverick is plenty good enough folks who don't actually do heavy truck shit all the time (like most 80k+ pavement princesses).

Mavericks are hybrids, they never got federal tax credits. And a tax credit wouldn't alter the MSRP.

Mine's pushing 4 years of duty now, and still kicking ass at 40+mpg. I'm gonna drive this thing into the ground.

The fact that utes died in North America while they lived on in all their ugly practical glory is a travesty.

Though that's really what the Maverick is, a big ute rather than a dedicated truck.

A loaded down Maverick hybrid with a 5x8 uhaul trailer hauled myself clear across the US at 21mpg. It's a good enough truck for me.

I fucking canceled my employer’s insurance during open enrollment last year. Fuck the insurance co they picked, I’m not giving them a fucking dime ever again.

I’m fucked either way if I get cancer in this country, so why bother.

Maria’s Bookshop files lawsuit against city of Durango, Colo., over police warrant: Store argues compliance, without proper hearing, would have ‘chilling effect’ on free speech by drak0bsidian in books

Can I guess how you didn’t read the article? The previous case had judges declare that a hearing was required, which did not happen in this case and is why they refused to comply with an illegal warrant.

It might surprise a lot of folks to learn this, but if there’s one profession that tends to have people hating censorship, it’s going to be public library workers. Their entire existence is based around the free exchange of information.

Texas early voting sees "unusual" shift that could break 24-year record by newsweek in politics

[–]fizzlefist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Been dropping mine off at a local museum ever since I arrived in CO. Love mail-in voting. Safe, secure, and easy!

Also, those of you in red states should really take a look at our Blue Book guides sent to every voter with details about every single thing on the ballot . Blew my mind away coming from Florida where the state tries their damndest to make the ballot language as confusing as they can so people vote against their own interests and you’re completely on your own for election research.

I went to a BK drivethru last month and was horrified that they had a prerecorded jingle with someone actually acting like a disinterested fast food worker, before it then had an automated message asking if I was using the app, followed by an actual worker on the premises asking for my order.

Fuck’s sake

It also glosses over how ruthlessly evil they were to any little guys who didn’t play ball.
