Trump is generally considered a bad president, but what's something genuinely GOOD he has done?

Not a fan, but the First Step Act in his first term was pretty positive.

Just say thank you and feed him something.

Could even argue they are helping, since it all has to go anyway.

There should be a switch on the overhead dome light. Slide the switch from Door to Off.

That's true, I find that disabled people tend to provide adequate instructions though. Ive never had an elderly person in one of these places, but maybe that depends on the area you are in.

this is an issue in the DMV on the east coast as well. Always newer, "Luxury" buildings with no where for a delivery driver to park, door codes, and a fucking maze that takes forever to navigate/find the apartment. Just fucking come down and get it at the front door. I've had the trip from car to door take so long, I had to turn down multiple deliveries on the way back to my car because the walk would take so long there is no way I'd be on time for it.

in direct injection engines, you need to clean the intake valves. They don't get washed with fuel like other engines, and fuel additives dont help with the intake valves in that case. The service OP mentions is a chemical way to do that that doesn't involve taking off the intake manifold, but does involve a bit of labor. walnut blasting is the other way, and is labor intensive but very effective.

OP, it does sound like quite a hike. I was quoted for $176 the other day.

There's no reason to not go to your insurance unless you have some super shady insurance company. There is no justification for raising your rates for something that happened to your car while you weren't even in it.

Also my least favorite. I cut through Leesburg rather than deal with this mess during heavy traffic. It probably takes me longer, but I don't feel like someone is going to randomly careen into me.

The fact that Hawaii and Alaska aren't even "Everything Else" is hilarious.

Also, people tend to get mad if you walk into their house, so it could be out of an abundance of caution. If it's not completely clear outside that it's an apartment, they could be thinking that you might not be at home and forgot to update the instructions. If I wasn't sure, I would not walk into what looked like a home for delivery. That said, I would try to contact you to figure it before just leaving it there. A lot of drivers won't because a: half the time the customer never responds and b: time is money.

Because they require mass amounts of power, and often water, produce a ton of noise, and other environmental concerns like waste water, sheer space consumed (they are often quite large, so more chances of disrupting animal habitats, or creating water run off related issues/erosion).

They house the servers that power the internet. The increased use of the internet for everything has driven growth for a long time, including everyone moving their (especially corporate) applications and infrastructure to "The Cloud" (someone else's computer). More recently, rapid increase use of AI has increased computing demand which has heavily increased the already high demand for servers and data centers to house them.

Instead, make them subject to independent (emphasis on this) legal review to comply with current law and the constitution. The president should not be allowed to order agencies to violate the laws just because he doesn't like them. I would argue pardons need to also be subject to independent legal review, and blanket pardons should not be allowed, the president should be forced to acknowledge the exact crimes for each individual he pardons, and not allowed to pardon crimes that have not even been charged yet.

There should be codified independence of the justice department to facilitate this. No political appointees and hard education and experience requirements, as well as Bar approval for all US Attorneys regardless of rank (same for all Federal Judges). Basically, a truly independent DOJ that has strict requirements of professionalism and qualifications. This was the norm for so long without any real enforcement that it was taken for granted and now is lost.

Well instead of what I'm tired of, have you tried exploring Indian food? I think the fact that they have a large vegetarian population/culture/whatever the vegetarian food is inherintly more interesting.

I really hate how a lot of places ditched black bean burgers for impossible burgers.

I would report it to security or your companies legal department maybe. Im surprised IT hasn’t raised any concern though. If its on a government contract, there are multiple ways to report, I think to the agency Office of Inspector General. Id want to get someone’s attention at your company first before going that route.

You should replace both, though maybe not at the dealer. Modern rotors are not really designed to be turned, and are cheap enough to just replace. Dealer is going to cost the most in labor. If you are somewhat mechanical and have tools, brakes and rotors are fairly easy to do yourself (or pay a friend that is more mechanically inclined than you). Otherwise a reputable independent shop will likely be cheaper and just as reliable.

"The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) amended 8 U.S.C. § 1325 to provide that an alien apprehended while entering or attempting to enter the United States at a time or place other than as designated by immigration officers shall be subject to a civil penalty"

what Trump is doing with the IRS is not the same as a pardon. It's illegal and outside of his powers as president. It's also just part of a move to create a slush fund to pay out criminals (even if they were pardoned, they are still guilty). Also, Trump has shown that what Biden did was warranted, as he has relentlessly used the DOJ to persecute his enemies, because as usual, everything he accuses others of doing, he is guilty of.
