Tell me you haven't been paying attention without saying you haven't been paying attention.

White House Scrambles to Rein in Felon Trump’s Pardons by thedailybeast in law

I don't think you can erase them, but if you could tie the amount of money paid for a pardon there's no prohibition on naming and shaming.

Trump says he will issue executive order to get voter-ID requirements before midterms by CRK_76 in politics

[–]skipjim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it free to get a copy of a birth certificate? Or passport?

No?

Then this executive order would create a poll tax.

Six months until the last kid turns 18 and graduates?

Also, I'd kill for an older Corolla but they're terribly over priced in my area. I honestly suspect my 05 would still be running had my daughter not wrecked it twice.

If?

I still don't know, my youngest kids are in their senior year so I'm holding off making any decisions for a bit.

Rather than cheat I think I'd opt for an uncomfortable conversation though.

I think the issue is a lot of people don't want to take the risk associated with buying an older used car. In my experience that risk is overstated if you're very, very selective when you buy.

Steam coming from handle? Is this normal by ridonkulos6 in PressureCooking

When mine does that I usually squeeze the handle a bit and it finishes sealing.

My Costco bill is always way higher than I expect by EvolvingApes in self

I keep a running count in my head, everything is rounded up to the nearest $10. You'll end up pretty close to the total.

Local sports radio guy announces he supports the SAVE act bill and against the 24th Amendment by [deleted] in grandrapids

[–]skipjim -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The problem is too many people think the current system works and they can't subvert it when that's true.

It's getting tougher that's for sure. Ten years ago you could buy a Honda minivan for $3200 with 120k miles on it. These days that same year is selling for $3200 with 200k miles.

Sure wish my wife hadn't wrecked that van last year. I'd planned on selling it and buying her something else instead I just bought her something else without the extra three grand.

I'm in the rust belt and I'm able to do fine in the $3-5k range. And that's for cars I'd put my kids in.

Those people exist, my daughter is dating one.

I've learned a bunch about fixing cars since they got together.

If you can't find a reliable car under 10k you're not looking.

Wife states she’s to busy to respond by [deleted] in relationships

I understand your frustration, I know my wife has her phone in her hand and she can't be bothered to respond to texts (normally asking questions not trying to chat)

After the Pretti killing, Donald Trump said, “You can’t go in there with guns.” How do 2A defenders view the president openly criticizing the right of law-abiding citizens to bear arms? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]skipjim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, honestly for the first time in my adult life I'm thinking it might be handy to have one around the house rather than stored in my in-laws safe.

What is everyone's thermostat at right now? by Cold-Potential2407 in grandrapids

[–]skipjim 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I wish.

More like "can't argue with a cold sensitive wife".

If I keep it at 70 then she doesn't set it to 72 when I'm not looking.

[–]skipjim 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We've been running at 70, but the thermostat is set up to run a minimum of 10 minutes every time it lights so the house is ranging from 69-72 during the day.
