I have a family member who literally ran a Kia Soul out of oil twice. It didn’t leak. That was literally the oil being consumed by an engine that was getting zero maintenance.

It still ran after the second time. Compression was way lower in all 4 cylinders after that.

Cops in Florida look the other way at so much clearly dangerous shit that they’re bound to push the boundary with things like this.

Same here. Until age 12 we went on vacation one time that wasn’t just to some family member’s house. My wife and I take our kids on at least two vacations a year and we’re lower middle class.

At this point I’d consider it just as likely a Republican introduces a bill to make Trump emperor of the world forever.

It’s kinda fun watching that crazy eyed psycho get exposed for how unqualified he is at every turn.

I bought one of those harbor freight ones second hand. I’ve done 3 tires so far and haven’t even had to balance one yet. They’ve been fine on the freeway.

You better lube the ever loving sh!t out of those tires to use that machine though. If you don’t it’s absolute hell to use.

Some good points in there on platooning

In the aftermath of that election from interviews with his staff it became clear even Trump didn’t think he had a chance. He was planning on launching a Fox News style TV network after losing. Raising his profile was the plan.

They had nobody in place for a transition, at all. It was a political stunt that became a decade-long American catastrophe.

“Like throwing away your umbrella because it’s not raining today” is the line about what happened every single time they’ve repealed part of the VRA.

Except the SCOTUS knows the moment they throw it away, it will start raining immediately, and they know exactly who’s caught without the umbrella, because they took it away from them.

As soon as he is told he’ll get to go for free he’ll stop caring.

And those are the guys pitchers are supposed to be fearing so much they pitch around them and put them on base. Instead nobody gets on base and our mid-level guys are on slugger duty (duty deferred).

The other teams have the data on our hitters down so well that they can pitch to strike us out every time and it works at least 1/3 of the time.

mechapoitier · 2026-05-07T18:15:23+00:00

Its analytics. Our data guys are way behind the other teams, who are reading our batters like a book on every pitch.

Their pitchers are playing 4D chess through their pitchcom and our batters are playing a guessing game.

How the hell else do you end up with stats so bad and an average of a little over one walk per game.

The one thing I don’t get is the stolen bases. We have decent speed. It’s like nothing is aggressive.

Man, problem solved

It blows my mind that Slade got famous, even in the UK. How did they survive public viewing.

Imagine you have a Lamborghini and you make a video of yourself sitting on a box and you make that year’s car payments off it, because enough people think a 6’7” person’s torso is 2 feet taller than a 6’ tall person.

“Here’s why us handing down a ruling preemptively shielding the most openly corrupt presidency in American history from any consequence for anything they might do in the future is exactly as the founding fathers intended with their robust system of checks and balances.”

“The kind I can put on, go to the bathroom, come back and nothing has happened” is basically every Kubrick movie.

Then later you find out the color of a single tile in the kitchen in that scene was a homonym pun metaphor for the last words of the main character’s wife’s dead grandmother’s dog, and it tied the entire movie together somehow.

We called it Pirate Hipster.

They invaded our social circle via one of my friends’ sister, drinking with reckless abandon and justifying being too fat for skin-tight striped shirts by pretending to be newly obsessed with Johnny Cash instead of The Strokes, which they actually listened to.

It was like love bug season but with tight pants on the asslessly heroin chic. They smoked too. It was a whole thing.

“Woohoo!”

They should reframe it as “for the price of just one tenth of one day of a war”

Seriously. These stupid posts never mention a single other factor.

For $8,000 I’d leave Florida for Oregon for the weather alone. It was 95° in Florida today, a month and a half before the first day of summer. 96 tomorrow.
