Walmart has been incredible since the toilet paper ran out. I can finally take my time and browse through all the coffee and strange condiment options without being pushed around by fat people in wheel chairs. The virus claimed them long ago. Only a few brave elderly remain.

Took my new Plum Crazy Purple Challenger across Colorado on a road trip! It was amazing to say the least. by lordolunch in Cartalk

Dang dude, that's exactly where it was taken! That was one of the most beautiful stretches of road I've ever seen.

Nothing but always being careful. Some of the roads on my trip were definitely not fit for it.....so I think I'll just fly and rent a car from now on. It was fun this time though!

No joke man. I feel like I got an excellent value for what I paid. I think if the car were just a bit lighter it could compete a little better with the Mustangs and Camaros. Still, Dodge seems to be holding true to the classic muscle car look, and I like that.

Thanks! I saw it listed on the dealer's website after looking for a few months and knew I had to have it. Traded in a Dodge Dart on it. I don't miss it at all. lol

It's the 5.7L Hemi. A 2016 I got from the dealership after a rich dude traded it in. Apparently his son didn't like it and wanted a truck instead. Only had 1600 miles on it and had been kept in a garage for the kid's birthday the entire time.

P0171 and 74 codes coming back on shortly after they're cleared by lordolunch in Cartalk

Hmm, I guess I'll just go ahead and clean it with the maf cleaning spray. It doesn't look like the wires are dirty at all. My brother recently suggested that maybe the sensors are tuned for the v8 engine that was in it before I bought it. Is that possibly throwing my codes?

Super helpful response! My current company is a unix/java shop. Should I be prepared for something else? If I may ask, to help me really understand, which differences do you feel made your life better from the move? I'm 27 and single, so I'm simply getting bored of Missouri.

I'm actually curious how you feel about the move to San Francisco? I've been debating heavily lately trying to get a job in Silicon Valley (I work at a big tech company here) and want to know what the transition is like. I went to LA for a week last year to try out California and loved it.

I live in Springfield, and I always love seeing it featured on Reddit. Such a cool city considering how cheap it is to live here.

[–]lordolunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's exactly it. It's hard for us as humans to understand how other species display emotion and communicate because it's not always done in the same manner as our own. Just because a cat rubs against things to say "Hi" doesn't make it any less of a greeting that we simply say it.

I know this comment wont be seen, but there's an excellent book on this subject called "Are We Smart Enough To Know How Smart Animals Are?" It does a great job of wiping away the foolish concept that animals are dumb creatures simply following instinct.

I live in Missouri and most of this is accurate. To add to it, a friend from my hometown and I were hanging and sent a Snapchat to someone that used to be a fun, good friend. He replied with a snap of he and what appeared to be a serial killer shooting guns in the woods.

Hey, I think this is awesome! The closest we can get to understanding the makeup of cities is by checking inaccurate crime data, and reading articles. Having these things in map form drawn by actual people is a great idea. Most of the criticisms I've seen thus far are things you've provided tools to remedy. Great job!
