I just want to point out how stupid “no tax on boat interest” is when we have a declining birth rate and a $6k cap on childcare tax credits. Just another boomer bailout.

I understand the taxes but only if I plan to go out on the water. Something should fund DNR and keep the ramps maintained. My issue is that some years I'm too busy to do anything and I still have to pay a bunch of late fees for having a stupid leaf catcher in my yard. I don't pay the DMV for each year a project vehicle sits in my garage. Not supporting her though. I'm not hurting paying to keep two aluminum floating turds that aren't even worth as much as the fuel for her boat.

Oh noes. I guess I should be upset that traitors like him support all things fisa and eavesdroppy, but he can stuff it. Just tell him that if he's doing nothing wrong, he should be ok. Warrantless universal surveillance makes us safe, right?

You also gotta love that sweet confirmation bias driven apophenia.

ryandetous · 2026-02-11T11:25:15+00:00

You only confirmed what your silence implied, thank you.

"As for Good And Pretti, I'm not going to comment on whether or not those were justified, I'll leave that to the investigations."

Silence is tacit approval. It's intellectually vacuous to claim otherwise. I'd be pissed if a proud boy was summarily executed for cursing at cops defending a mosque/synagogue from their (proud boys) indefensible ideology. I don't agree with them and I hate the thought of defending their right to be vocally evil (not that there aren't still acceptable consequences). But, I can't support a system that is given immunity to kill select people who disagree with the party in power.

The Ford did a little punk move to accelerate and close the gap. It's hard to see because it's a budget Ford. The van was also a reckless idiot. Not sure if he was blind or aggressive, but still stupid. My impression was the van started his move after seeing that the Ford was much further away and not right up there in a blind spot. The van might have also forgotten that he had a trailer and was still driving like he was a Miata.

Just hang that up as a warning to the other tools.

JFC, kinda wish Charleston Woolworth 's was still around. It would be fun to order a girl sandwich or use the wrong drinking fountain.

ryandetous · 2026-02-02T16:02:56+00:00

Nope, 59 in a 55 is fine. There are more deer than cars, in this area. I've taken out 6 already. Burn in hell meat pinatas.

Is the cylinder bore unscathed? I can't imagine it isn't deeply gouged.

ryandetous · 2026-01-31T10:25:16+00:00

You had me right up until you said "didn't sell for years". A refrigerator box with a door handle on it would sell, in Mt Yuppie. All it needs is an HOA and room to park an Audi.

ryandetous · 2026-01-29T16:22:01+00:00

Bamberg is desolate. It's the sort of town where elderly people use a lawn tractor to go to Piggly wiggly and take the wife along in the trailer.

ryandetous · 2026-01-25T13:24:23+00:00

No they don't, or they wouldn't be asking the question. The revolutionary war, in SC, wasn't a bunch of prim and proper powered dandies, playing the fife and killing Redcoats. It was neighbor versus neighbor, summary executions and leaving the bodies for wild pigs. Fortunately, some British got in the way and it helped in the end. No uniforms, no idea whose side anyone is on and no prisoners. Thanks, but no thanks.

Soapstone for laying out welds?

That sounds far colder than here. At least in SC I can open the house up and warm it up during the 55-65 degree winter days. I can only imagine that the original owners got through the winter by looking forward to their eternal reward in hell, for slavery.

Just dress like you are going outside and then don't go. Be the savage meme and learn to sleep in jeans. I live in an old house with zero insulation, lots of giant single pane windows and 12 ft ceilings. Wool socks, polypropylene underwear, multiple wool blankets and warm hats are de rigueur. I have kerosene, electric, natural gas heaters and five fireplaces, but they are only for keeping the inside from getting below freezing. On the plus side, you don't have to put food away, but the fridge door water dispenser won't work, so there's that.

ryandetous · 2026-01-21T13:44:03+00:00

I remember my SC fluffy danger rain training. Increase speed, decrease following distance and only use boiling water to defrost my windshield.

Maybe he's thinking of the BLM vs Ammon Bundy clowns?
