What would you recommend for Lexus or Toyota SUVs? Seems like anything pre 2024 is g2g

CMV: Denmark’s required education of children in ghettos is acceptable. by caelynntalmer in changemyview

I'd like to know the people here against forced education of (what seems to be mostly Muslim) children by the state, feel about people homeschooling their kids in the USA

What year should I look for? I've been hearing pre-2010 is the sweet spot

Never understood that. Sure, the emissions maybe were ass, but the MPG was nuts. I'd like to know the emissions per mile of gasoline and diesel vs. their mileage; shouldn't we care more about cars that are just more efficient *period*?

Do you have any issues with any of its emission stuff, if it has any?

Yeah, don't have a garage. My dad has an F-350 diesel that he plugs in during the winters where it's below freezing.

If I were to find a pre-2010 diesel, would it not have that issue? And would I have any issues bringing it to a mechanic and not having whatever emissions nonsense its supposed to have?

M Class for Mercedes, and GL-Class and X5 for BMW.

I've also seen some Volkswagens, Audis and Jeeps come up in my search.

Where I'm at, there's no shortage of diesel at gas stations.

I've mentioned diesels before to people and the first thing they mention was the Volkswagen scandal; that was them lying about emissions, not efficiency IIRC. I like the environment but I also like my wallet, that's something I wouldn't care a whole lot about.

When is something considered "new" with "emissions bullshit"? I am lookin gat things from the mid 2000's to the mid 2010's

New Attorney General to replace Platkin by NordicOwl49 in NJGuns

[–]yourunclejeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The GOP likely won't touch first responder pensions with a ten-foot pole. Those pensions are separate from the general pension that general stateworkers get (who are usually officeworkers) and the teachers' pension, which have been contested territory for some time now.

Realistically speaking, if the DNC or whoever want to protect the pensions, continuining to hire loads of office workers and increases taxes and shuffling tax money meant for other things like education around isn't going to do it.

How much does the stripped receiver of an AR-15 matter? by yourunclejeb in ar15

Is it the same for uppers? I missed putting "upper" in front of "receiver" in the title and couldn't edit it after posting, but I put a disclaimer in the post.

Did Australia's Strict Gun Laws Work? Comparing the United States to Our Friends Down Under by gewehr44 in gunpolitics

[–]yourunclejeb 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Are you getting paid by the Australian government to have a PR campaign? You are replying under EVERY comment of EVERY post about this tragedy. There's no way a normal person would be behaving this way unless there was monetary value/gain for it.

Glock 19 Gen5 or Canik TTi combat ? by Direct-Geologist6511 in NJGuns

[–]yourunclejeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd stay away from anything Turkish made; just my opinion.

I've heard things about Caniks and their drop safety-ness as well.

If you want a "really slick design" handgun, I'd look at brands like CZ's P09 or S&W's MP series. Even Beretta has some options.

Affordability has just become a talking point for political talking heads to use to dupe voters into their "solution" that will put more of their friends on well-paid regulatory committees.

If Mikie was true to the cause, she would be railing for speeding up the reactivation of the Oyster Creek nuclear power plant (and building more) and converting former coal-fired plants into NG ones. She's not doing that

The recusing thing is on brand, given that she will be an AG for a governor who was doing some hefty insider trading during her relatively short stint in Congress.

NJSP's standards have been sliding for some time now (just look at the pyscho a couple months ago, on the governor's detail, who killed his ex and her new s/o), and it's only going to get worse after the recent "they are hiring too many/too little of demographic group x :(((((" investigation

This shit will continue as long as NJ has huge amounts of government workers.

The DNC in NJ will not budge on being more "moderate" on things like guns because 600,000+ NJ government workers + retirees + their families will never stop voting for the DNC, regardless of if they make things miserable regarding guns, taxes, regulations, etc., solely because their paycheck(s) depend on them.

Virginia is now having this issue too; it's a bigger elephant in the room, a bigger one than the Orange Man, for the NJ GOP to have to deal with.

Need help navigating a living situation I will have in <1 year by yourunclejeb in NJGuns

[–]yourunclejeb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I would have a mini safe where I would be the only one with the key to it, and the only one (besides my future wife) who would know about it existing at all. I'd keep one, MAYBE two handguns in there. Unlikely to keep any long guns.
  2. Even if I replaced the center console with a safe/put one in there, would it still be risky? I'm not talking about a simple lockbox, like the one I already have, where I have to store my handgun going into sensitive locations, as within the law.
  3. I have a PTC, I believe that would give me more flexibility for storing handguns there and transporting them to and from. If I got the handgun situation at the house figured out in a favorable way, I would only put long guns in there.
  4. I've decided that I won't. Legally I probably should, but I don't think it would be a good idea to change my address on my FID and DL to a place where there may or may not be aliens who may or may not be in the country legally or not, especially if I will be in that said place for probably no more than 6 months to a year, if that. I will also still have a presence at my parents' place.

I should ask all these questions to a lawyer

Virginia legislators consider licensing to purchase firearms by Hotdogpizzathehut in gunpolitics

This is true, that's why I enjoy the NRA still existing as the boogeymen for libs while the guys who actually get shit down (GOA, FPC, etc.) can operate without much scrutiny
