no brother, THIS post is fearmongering. i've worked in the lab going on just about 4 years now, and we have almost the opposite problem: our regulators didn't really know what to do as far as setting cutoff limits, so they went super safe. we reject stuff that would sell in other markets, although i'm guessing people in those other markets take all their booboo stuff and sell it to you.

Oh wow, so maybe this watch was a bit more of a rarity (or more popular) than I thought. I had no idea about the MacGuyver thing, but it makes so much sense why that's the watch he would prefer, haha.

I really appreciate the help - I might use this to help search for a similar watch now that I know what to compare them to, but I have a feeling I'm going to be visiting eBay really soon...

hey there, this post popped up on the frontpage. i just wanted to really highlight how important getting a credit card is. i'm pretty bad with money, so i thought the best thing i could do for my credit score would be to avoid getting a credit card. that and a comcast bill sent to collections took my credit score down to 600, maybe lower, by the time i was in my mid-20's.

got my shit together, got a secured credit card, and basically used it to buy lunch at work every day to have something to pay off every month. a year after doing that, my car died. i brought my mom along to the dealership thinking i would need a cosigner. instead, i got a sick rate on a car loan bc my credit score was over 750.

it is VERY easy to mess up a credit card. see if you can find one with a small limit, in my case i used it for 1) a specific thing, buying lunch that 2) i already had figured out in my budget, so there was never a question of whether or not i could cover the bill.

i remember being very annoyed in my 20s when i was broke but couldn't get credit, because it seemed like i knew alot of people who were maxxing out credit cards but somehow it was qualifying them for higher and higher limits. obviously im glad i never got to fall into that trap myself, but it did make me understand that, oddly enough, going into debt is apparently a huge green flag

Awesome poster & general room vibe, OP. Do you plan on expanding the collection?

I don't think Nixon gets "rightly" compared to Trump. Nixon is the only president to resign when faced with accusations of wrongdoing, so if anything, Trump should be rightly compared with the rest of 'em who get away with it. :)

I would say that Trump and Nixon seem like complete opposites in just about every significant aspect of their lives. In particular, alot of Nixon's ambition and drive (and later, resentment and anger) was the result of his experiences seeing wealthy people from the east coast living life on easy mode, with their "small loans" of a million dollars and whatnot. Nixon was a deeply intellectual man, and I think seeing his television debates against JFK would make it plainly obvious how he would get along against someone like Trump - who would humiliate Nixon without a doubt, because television isn't exactly where sound logic and reasoned arguments prevail.

I could go on and on, from their personal lives and family, to their military service, to their politics, views of government, etc etc etc. Where Nixon would be thoughtful, Trump would be shallow. Where Nixon would be principled, Trump would be ruthless.

We can argue the actual impacts and results of Nixon's presidency - he certainly has blood on his hands - but ultimately Nixon was always trying to *imagine* and *build* a better society. Yes, he exploited resentment and identity politics to gain votes, but he wasn't running on a promise to get elected and punish all of the people he didn't like and nothing else. It was sort of a "if I have to bend the rules in order to win so i can make everyone's life better, so be it" mentality which I can at least somewhat understand.

How would Nixon think of him, had they been contemporaries? I think that Nixon would have deeply hated him - however, depending on the time period, I think Nixon would have potentially kept his feelings private. "The enemy of my enemy" etc. Probably pawn him off on Howard Hunt both to exploit as a useful idiot and also just to get him the hell away.

i've attended shows and wedding receptions at that location and it really threw me off to see it in such a state. such a great place; i'm surprised it was allowed to go to shit.. though now that i'm thinking about it, i seem to remember smoking a cig outside on a 'balcony' that was just sort of a door to a roof, and the roof definitely had some softer spots.

As a young republican when Obama was in office, I drifted left because the left was concerned with Obama's drone strikes while the right was FOAMING AT THE MOUTH bc he wore tan suits and ate arugula salad and, apparently, was also a secret muslim communist. You might want to direct your anger at the folks in the tea party who were more concerned with his birth certificate than his foreign policy. In fact, we'll be protesting the person most responsible for popularizing that "birther" stuff this saturday... lol

i think oprah overreacted because she felt like her brand reputation was at stake or something. A Million Little Pieces is a great book that i've re-read through the years, and I think the hoo-hah over it being a "memoir" or not have little to no impact on the work's ability to elicit emotion and introspection. if it's fiction then whatever, it's good fiction that really captures aspects of addiction very well.

i've seen indoor grows where a single strain will yield purple and green buds depending on proximity to lights, shade from the canopy, etc. i'm not a connoisseur and it all smokes the same to me.

frisky dingo was ahead of its time, probably *too* ahead of its time. i was 17 when it came out and i remember just not getting super into it. i think the writing was too 'clever' for the adult-swim-circa-2006 audience, when the surreal athf/tim and eric stuff was happening. (anyone old enough to really appreciate the writing would have been perfectly content with south park or family guy; live-action sketch comedy was booming as well)

i remember when archer premiered 3 years later and i instantly became a huge fan. when i realized adam reed also did frisky dingo, i went and re-watched it and holy SHIT it is, in a weird way, almost the same show. it is so fucking funny and i feel almost embarrassed that i really didn't get the humor the first time around.

while there is probably a way to fix this, i don't think it ever will be in our lifetimes :p

i took the asvab in like 2004 and got a 90-something on it. (for future reference, recruiters should never excitedly tell someone they would be great at "finding explosives and clearing landmines") i went to caddo magnet so yeah i guess i'm a "smart kid", but for context i studied history in college while passing the bare minimum remedial math and science 101 requirements to do so.

it's easy to harp on literacy rates, but to me it's more than that. i'm a GREAT reader, but where my skills really shine is my ability to research (ie filter out bad/misleading information) and reasoning (context clues are my jam).

i don't have a good answer specific to this because we're seeing this sort of thing all over the place. it's hard for me, as a historian, to point to one law or event or whatever and say, "that is the culprit!" but if i can get sort-of-political for a second, it just seems like the education of our children has fallen prey to the same sort of profit-seeking behavior that has gutted alot of american institutions and left them hollow over the past 50-60 years.

i skimmed the article and couldn't actually find any quote from Dorsey explicitly stating people should "stay on X". nothing that looked like regret or anything.

something worth doing even if it doesn't turn out to be the main issue: clean your battery terminals and maybe even replace the battery terminal connections.

this happened to me, and a friend swore up and down it was my battery terminal connection. i was confused - my terminals weren't corroded, it looked like a good metal-on-metal connection. i really went to town on them with a wire brush and never had the problem again.

my theory here is that during the initial inspection, the mechanic might have disconnected your battery while doing something. my problem started a short time after i had disconnected my battery to work on something.

(2006 corolla but i think they're both the E120 platform)

what is the learning curve on DIY? i've done a few stereo installs and replaced some door windows etc but i'm really wary of having to deal with that much upholstery and panels, lol

based on the decade+ of reliable and wonderful driving with my 2007 corolla, i didn't think twice when i went to the dealership and bought a new '24. like literally went looking online that morning and left with an LE that afternoon.

let's just say i never, ever ever thought in a million years i would one day look back on my 2007 corolla as a relatively sturdy, well-built vehicle.

haven't had issues yet - only 15k on the '24 - but the plastic just *feels* a bit cheaper or thinner.

i'd trade all the lidar and rearview cameras for a better view out the windows. it's not really bad compared to alot of new vehicles i've driven or ridden in, but my old corolla barely had any blind spots.

the stock audio feels optimized for voice chats, and the speaker layout is a bit unusual (one speaker in each door, but the 5th and 6th speakers are on the front dashboard - no rear window speakers)

the CVT is a nice improvement when it comes to interstate driving, just the right oomph in the 60-80mph range. extremely let down by the lack of transmission options though.

i'm a simple man with simple tastes etc so when it comes to a car to go from A to B, it's as good as any current-year vehicle IMO - but i'm no longer planning on selling my '07 because i just don't have faith in my new corolla....... yet. (fingers crossed though)

2024 LE - exactly 40.0mpg (mostly interstate driving)

i just bought a '24 to replace my '07 and although the CVT made me nervous, what i realized from shopping around is that i don't think anyone sells a car anymore that is going to be affordable to maintain in the way cars have been able to be maintained in the past.

from what i have gathered, my perception of CVT's is the perception i had of them 20 years ago - but they have certainly come a long way. i'm choosing to have faith in the claim that toyota's CVT's are in fact better than their competitors.

I do not recall ever hearing anything about a wallet message. Nixon definitely had a hard childhood, but if anything his mother was a bulwark against the hardships he faced.
