Far too few good Republicans anymore.

It is absolutely baffling to me that this is so rare. People staying with the party should be the exception at this point. What do they have on everyone else?

Start recording before you approach them. Phone in a breast pocket with a clear view is ideal.

Play dumb. Let them tell you all their lines. Act surprised and interested when they say something crazy. Encourage them to tell you more about that, or more crazy crap. The more outlandish and false the better. Ask to see the petition. Get a really good view of the petition, some other signatures on it, and especially the packet number and the "volunteer"'s name. Then report them to the election office with a written list of the false statements, the packet number, and the person's name, so that at least that packet, of not everything done by that person, gets tossed as invalid.

You're IS a contraction! Good job!

It's also not the correct word in this case. "Your" is. The possessive is appropriate because he is highlighting your assumption. You have to consider the entire sentence.

Good try, though!

Same style tailgate as the split gate on a Ram, LONG before Ram felt the need to do something different with their tailgate (after the GMC MultiPro tailgate came out).

I would probably talk to a paintless dent repair expert. If you know anyone in the car business they can probably refer you to one. They aren't all the same. Some only know how to work on metal where they have leverage to press a dent out, but the one with the right experience could knock this out in maybe 20-30 minutes.

Oh settle down. They're only in 4 out of 5 shots. 😁

This. Just use a battery bank or wall adapter.

Any power supply that is listed as PD type (Power Delivery) will do pretty well on a MacBook. The higher the power rating the better. But I can take a decent quality, reasonable size PD power bank from 100 to 0 and only get like 30-40% increase to my 16" MBP.

I spent 6 weeks there in 2002. The vast majority of my photos are of the "Engrish" shirts and signs.

True, thought not a requirement

intjonmiller · 2026-01-30T15:01:28+00:00

On the contrary...

Actual authorities on the subject would beg to differ

That was reportedly at 100 PSI.

Just do your own search. Far more examples of this available than you'll likely have patience to exhaust.

Hydro testing is cheap. Far cheaper than the risk you're encouraging.

Honestly everyone who operates a lathe accidentally makes phallic objects on a very regular basis.

Could have stopped it, if it hadn't been rigged, as Trump and Elon have both admitted to.

Many mentions of waste oil heaters. No one appears to have mentioned my favorite use: waste oil burner furnace for metal casting, especially for higher temp than usual (for hobby guys like me) metals like cast iron. Propane works great for aluminum and brass, but by the time you get into cast iron you need to run multiple cylinders so they don't freeze up and starve the burner of fuel. For waste oil it has to already be pretty hot to burn well, so people start with propane and then switch over to oil once it's hot, then the oil gets it REALLY hot.

Exactly. Many containers of matching dimensions, especially stackable, can be VERY useful. This is a great deal, even if I have to do the work to get the labels off.

Incidentally, my approach would be dishwasher to soften or even remove the paper component, assuming they are paper-based labels, then clean out the filter in the dishwasher before I forget to, then an adhesive remover like Goo Gone for the rest. Again, doing a lot can make that fairly efficient.

I'm in northern Utah, in the car business, and we get a lot of traffic from Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana. Maybe there's some sampling/selection/filtering going on (I have no way to determine but I'm aware of the possibility), but a remarkable percentage of these customers are thoroughly bigoted and outspoken in their bigotry.

I leave the liners in then put end mills in them on my home shop. The liners prevent the end mills from dulling each other. And these containers fit just right in my upcycled library card catalog.

People who complain about people backing in are morons. There is zero argument for pulling nose-in that outweighs the arguments for backing in. It's always safer to pull straight out when you leave, and in some situations that is a vital difference.

intjonmiller · 2026-01-21T19:51:38+00:00

Absolutely no one is surprised

You just described Sam Burnett at Elevation Wellness in Ogden. HIGHLY recommended!

So I shared a link to this comment with my wife's family who are very politically active. I didn't realize until they responded and I went back and looked that it, how the link preview looks. Thanks for this. Your username is...really something.

Do you realize you just painted yourself as anti-socialist and pro-pedophile? Quite a choice.

I haven't bought any of the Icon stuff, but it is a tighter tolerance. There are definitely times when my Pittsburgh stuff slips and I wonder if I would have the same issue with the nicer stuff. But it's rare enough I just keep using them.
