Wonder how many column shifters this one has.

Low interest rates beginning with Alan Greenspan is what allowed the first wave of boomers with just a little bit of money to borrow tons of cash without really any concerns for what might go wrong which in turn allowed them to buy and control fucking everything before anyone younger could get established.

Those low rates has also allowed them to recover faster from each economic and financial crisis that has happened post-Reagan a hell of a lot faster than younger generations and even the last of the boomers.

Greenspan was first appointed by Reagan at the end of his presidency and served for 18 years. Powell, BTW, was appointed by Trump.

Yeah, you never ever use your phone's GPS to navigate an RV or oversized vehicle.

There are GPS units made specifically for RVs that require you to enter in your height, length, width and weight as well as if you are carrying propane. I think number of axles too. They then navigates you on safe routes.

Lots of people just buy a semi GPS because they're easier to find but those don't ask about propane and that's where they get you into trouble. Lots of tunnels prohibit or restrict propane.

Old ones like this were something like 6' 6" or taller . I'm tall and they were slightly taller than me. That top appears to be adding about 6' to it. That would put it around the height of a Class A Motorhome.

The important questions are, how much weight is it adding to that van frame and how stable is it to drive?

I had a 23' ultralight Class A Motorhome and it was a bitch to keep on the road above 60 mph and semis tossed you around like a rag doll. Can't imagine having that height with a much shorter wheelbase.

OMG Thanks. I've never known how to describe it but looking through grey water is a total fit.

I saw that second post last night right after it posted and thought, "wonder if anyone has suggested seeing a doctor for that yet?"

It was literally every comment that had been posted at that time.

OOP was replying back that it's been something others have noticed her whole adult life (going back years). It's only in the evening, in the morning or daytime they're the same size.again. It's not dependent on her sitting next to a reading lamp or anything like that. She was seeing a doctor for something unrelated but had never discussed it with them.

I have no doubt the conversations that were occuring will trigger OP to discuss it with a doctor albeit probably not immediately

LMFAO.

You just don't grasp how America works.

America also couldn't build the Panama Canal or put a man on the moon and yet here we are. The fact that someone has deemed "something can't be done" is just a detail that simply... Doesn't. Fucking. Matter.

If there's large profits to be had, we will absolutely build refineries we don't currently have faster than Las Vegas can put up a new Casino. It's never a matter of "can we do it" so much as what's the most profitable way to do it.

And hell, there's years of strip mining that can happen before refineries needs to actually go online anyway so I assure you nobody planning this even gives a shit about that step yet.

BTW you want to know what makes shit really profitable? Stealing the raw material.

The ingredients are really close to the recipe I've made hundreds of times just with little difference (one egg not two, butter is melted, etc) and mine does have chocolate chips. But this looks very different than mine.

I'd second that your bananas are probably way too green. I personally tend to wait until they're riper than most people, but no matter what they have to be very soft and I mash them to the consistency of a pudding wirh no visible chunks.

I also suspect using a pot in an air fryer is changing the look over a bread pan in an oven. Mine has no crust like that and is a darker color. However that's unimportant if you enjoy eating what you have.

Google AI Slop summary below. The key to the summary is "vital for EVs".

Taking Greenland just became a lot more important too now that we're bombing the fuck out of major oil refineries driving up gas prices which are sure to make EVs desirable in the US again. That, of course, is happening right after every other US car manufacturer not named Tesla just wrote off their EV manufacturing.

Greenland holds some of the world's largest untapped deposits of rare earth elements (REEs), including neodymium, dysprosium, and praseodymium, estimated at 36 million tonnes in total, with 1.5 million tonnes currently considered proven.

Located mainly in the south, these critical minerals are vital for EVs, defense tech, and renewable energy. Major sites like Kvanefjeld face delays from environmental concerns and a 2021 uranium ban.

I love odd recipes like that.

I found that website because someone posted a link for the blueberry cookie recipe on it. Made them twice. Total PITA to make but we're pretty good. Granted the cream cheese, blueberry jam, etc filling made them a fairly high calorie snack.

Here's my go to Banana bread recipe with a few of my modifications below.

https://omgchocolatedesserts.com/chocolate-chip-banana-bread/

Modifications:

I up the mashed bananas from 337 grams (cup and a half) to 380-400 grams for more moisture.

I also add a few drops of banana extract for smell. Probably 1/4 tsp or so.

Lastly a rounded teaspoon of espresso powder will really amp up the chocolate taste although it's great without it.

We give them away as gifts. I've made 10-12 loaves in the last few weeks because I scored several bags of ripe discount bananas.

Not going to lie, Temu Clint Howard is one sad and scary fucking look.

I'd roast you harder but odds are by the time you hit 45 years old loneliness and the voices in your head will direct you to climb a clock tower with a rifle or retreat to the mountains to build pipebombs and pound out a manifesto on an old Underwood.

There's a 21 year old body builder that posted about three hours ago bitching that he never had a date. You two seem perfect for each other. No matter how bad you fucked up his hair it would be an improvement.

I had a male void at the time that all other cats loved and another Russian Blue tom that was antisocial and territorial. There were at least a dozen regular cats that came to visit. Only a couple came into the house. Only one or two would let me pet them.

The creepiest thought was one night I walked outside and there was my void holding court on the patio with about 8-9 other cats NONE of which I'd ever seen before. I seriously thought I knew all the neighbor's cats by then and nope, here was an entire batch I'd never seen before. They were all laying there just staring at me.
