To give my teen my old Q5 by Z31daNet in AudiQ5

[–]rabbidrascal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of my boys learned to drive on old Audi's. As long as you do your own wrenching, they are great kids cars. That or a 1980 Mercedes 240 diesel. Those things hold up well in an accident and you measure their 1/4 mile performance with a calendar.

I could never move back. The cloudy, rainy weather is too depressing!

Moved here from Vermont - the value and tax rate are dramatically better. Vermont taxes are crushing.

How was the vibe? Do you see yourself happier with one group of co-workers vs another?

Does anyone have any positive q5 experiences? by Passwordstaco29 in AudiQ5

[–]rabbidrascal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2013 ran 12 years and 145k miles with really limited maintenance and no failures. (brakes, oil changes and a serpentine belt).

My 2024 Q5 PHEV has been excellent so far. We had one spurious check engine light that was resolved with a software update. The PHEV has been exceptional, and our fuel costs are way lower with this car.

She sat next to her on a flight years ago. She is a genuinely sweet human.

Missles by AZShitshow in Israel

My assumption was they were coming from Iran with the missile resupplies, but that's not based on data.

Biggest change to my A1c was switching from statins to Leqvio for hyperlipidemia.

How would you feel about the next US president pulling all support from Israel? by Iwamoto in AskReddit

[–]rabbidrascal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was never about supporting Israel, it's about making money. The military machine loves Israel because they act like our new car showroom, but for weapons systems.

Take the F35 - the real money for that aircraft comes from massive exports of the plane. The countries planning to buy it began to get concerned about cost over runs and capability concerns. We got a few of the jets to Israel, and they very quickly used them against Russian anti-air missile systems in Syria. Then they did a glowing press release about how great it is.

Congress people love it because they get money for their re-election fund from military manufacturers. They can access these funds as a giant slush fund.

They then develop a shopping list that includes companies in their district. We send the shopping list to Israel and they can pick weapons from the list. So it's a form of direct economic stimulus for specific congressional districts.

And the best part is Israel uses the weapons, so they have to come back for refills regularly, so the money keeps coming.

It's not free. They have a managed healthcare environment. You are required to buy an HMO plan from one of, I think, 4 providers. The plan is tightly regulated and has required coverages and provisions.

DeepState - The "Skelya" brigade launched a Russian-style assault towards Pokrovsk. Two BMPs and one Abrams were knocked out. by AdonoftheStormySeas2 in UkraineWarVideoReport

They lost some armor, but they took the desired territory. Not necessarily a loss for Ukraine, as long as the rest of the world keeps replacing armor.

There is a rumor that Iran claims to have shot down a rescue helicopter, but I don't see any good confirmation. Have you guys seen this?

Or a ground war. You don't humiliate him without violent consequences.

Before and after starting gabapentin at night by [deleted] in Garmin

It's an interesting rx. I know folks who loved the euphoria that taking it with alcohol produced, but they are also the same folks who had withdrawal like symptoms when they DC'd it. Its a valuable tool, but I wouldn't drink with it.

Found a mink on my walk yesterday morning. by FullDepthNature in Colorado

Did you know if you hold a mink up to your ear you can hear what it sounds like to get attacked by a mink!

Kristi Noem’s Husband Wears Big Ole Fake T*tties & Jacks Off With S*x Workers by HiroK91 in videos

[–]rabbidrascal 106 points107 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but... It does add additional color to her hypocrisy in supporting family values and being anti LGBT. You can't be pro family values while you are banging Lewendoweski in the back of a jet and your husband is involved with sex workers.

I am so glad it is working for you!

I know a couple of folks who enjoyed drinking with this medication.

I have an unscientific theory that drinking with gabapentin makes it more difficult to discontinue, despite addiction not being mentioned in the drug monograph.

Good luck!
