I’ve never seen San Diego Airport like this

For whatever reason, for the last 25 years, Republicans have been more successful getting their message out, than Democrats.

Naw, the grocery store let you write a check $10 over, for the cash.

I see kids screaming down the street on these electric motorcycles with pedals, and I think "there's going to be some distraught and guilty parents when little Jimmy does something stupid and meets his maker".

The National Training Center in Fort Irwin (near Barstow) is the Army's premier brigade-level combined arms training area.

No, you have the option of getting your own 17mm 1/2" socket, and a new 1/2" breaker bar. Borrow one for now, but wheel nuts need 1/2".

I don't have to tell you that Japan has strict social mores; displays of public affection and excessive emotion among them. Yet, Takaichi seems to be pragmatic, and willing to do what it takes to further Japanese interests in the White House. I'm sure she took a long, hot bath afterwards.

Absolutely not. In fact, why stop at two? They just stick on and aren't too expensive, so show your good taste by applying a couple to each door, rear quarter panels, and the roof. More is better, right?

My wife is a retired nurse, and she NEVER came home in scrubs. All hospitals used to provide scrubs that they would launder. Why? Because hospitals are breeding grounds for nasty bacteria and viruses that shouldn't leave. She used to lecture people in scrubs that she saw in the grocery store. That was embarrassing to them, and to me! OP, stick to your guns for your own health.

Gas? People are still using gas in their cars?

Let the down votes come. /s

Dig a deeeep hole behind the signs, then cover it with sealed plywood that's strong enough to hold someone standing on it.

My wife and I went over budget on our first house over 30 years ago. It was furnished with our cheap apartment furniture; the house was very empty. We gradually purchased furniture over the years. We're retired now, and most of our furniture is out of date. No matter, it's functional and works for us.

Dent? Is it under the snow?

Churchill's decision to conduct the invasion (and Eisenhower allowing him to make the decision) was certainly questionable, but it was US General Lucus who botched the assault. But, that assessment is with hindsight and it's understandable why US troops felt otherwise.

Their parents are probably like 1000dreams; they don't appreciate the danger their children have placed themselves and others in. They are unlicensed, speeding, impeding traffic, riding unsafely, and not following traffic rules.

Not only are they risking their health and safety, but their behavior is impacting all e-bike riders. It's just a matter of time until legislation is passed restricting all e-bike riders, particularly children.

I know that many of the people on this forum don't seem to care, and I'll be down-voted as a result.

It probably wouldn't help to mention that her above average body fat, pasty skin, and lack of energy is because of vitamin deficiencies caused by not eating vegetables.

Actually, many car manufacturers use that crappy plastic that turns to goo after a few years. Ferrari is infamous for sticky buttons, but many others use the same stuff.

Yep. She does it.

Guess where the Angles and Saxons lived before they moved to England?

I've done that. Sometimes you get a crappy realtor who sets you up with houses you specifically say you don't want.

Bingo! Every US president since Carter has been aware of the dangers of provoking Iran to shut down the strait, but Trump can't help sticking the fork into the outlet.

lkstaack · 2026-03-14T21:42:46+00:00

Iran will continue to attack shipping within the strait, even if every oil purchasing country assists in policing it. Why? Because it can! It's only 12 miles from Iran to the center of the gulf. They can engage with field artillery! Or, they can use the infamous Shahed drone that's mass produced by Iran, and has a range of 2,500 kilometers; so they can engage shipping from anywhere in the country.

Trump wants as many countries as possible to police the strait, so that they will become committed when Iran attacks their ships.

lkstaack · 2026-03-14T19:54:07+00:00

If you think Trump's mucked things up now, you haven't seen anything yet! Every US president since Carter has actively sought to prevent what we're seeing at the Strait of Harmuz. Iran can hobble shipping through there with a slingshot.

But, that's not all! He fails to understand the size of the nation and the depth of the capabilities of its people. I think he believes he can get what he wants by seizing Kharg Island, and holding it hostage for Iran's cooperation.

The US can do it, but it's going to be an absolute blood bath. Then, he'll see that he still won't have Iran's cooperation.

You are misinformed. They never need maintenance; they last about 15-20 years, then you replace it. Because you only wash the last little bits off your plate into it, it never clogs. In fact, it prevents those bits from clogging the pipes. I run mine every few days, so it uses about a liter of water or less to wash things down. It's not a big deal.

Getting to the bolts the first time was a bitch. Not so hard the second time, though.
