@Hoss @tante

I had 6 so I must be significantly better edumacated that you.

@cjd @icare4america

It's annoying as hell, the "feature" reactivates itself everytime you start the car. you can't turn it off permanantly.

Additionally it isn't free, it requires a more expensive battery, more expensive starter, both which wear out faster, and other stuff. Why should I have to pay for this bullshit that I hate? It's cost excedes the fuel savings.

it should be an option.

Yesterday my boy turned 22. Today he graduated magna cum laude from college. With a BS in electrical engineering with high honors and a second bs in computer science. He did this in 4 years but it required taking 18 credit semesters and some summer classes. He wanted double the usual bs When he graduated from HS he wore my shoes to the ceremony and today I was quite surprised to see that he grabbed my shoes, when he was home last weekend to wear again, though he had his own suitable ones....

He did all this while working part time and growing his personal fortune from 7k to46k. Here he is with his decrepit old man

@EvolLove they have provided the US with significant weapons technology.

@EvolLove Isreal provided the technology from their Iron dome to the US, this jump started the missile intercept program in the US. They didn't sell it. When they US was prosecuting its mis-guided war on terror, Isreal provided ample intelligence assistance. They have also assisted the US with development of cyber security measures. I dont think we should be providing aid to Isreal but it doesn't piss me off any more than 80 years subsidizing Europe's defense.

@Rumblestone @Lori @Bleukitty we are living in the post great uglification era. During this time, its become fashionable to pretend that something ugly is beautiful and something absurd is worthy of admiration. Here is both in one package.

@Hoss seems to me it would be better to get flattened b4 work, rather than right after.

I have an employee who has a baby. Yesterday he told me that the night before they had taken him for his shots and now he was super grumpy and didn't sleep well.

Today he shows me pics and the poor guy has a rash all over his body and an oozing sore in one ear.

His wife is taking him to urgent care now.
He is completely baffled as to what this could be or what caused it. Right now nobody knows, but it's interesting to me that they haven't even questioned if it's a reaction to the shots.

@kaia I will grant clemency to anyone who wants to bet.

@Sherri_Ingrey @KeepTakingTheSoma what a charming guy.

@KeepTakingTheSoma
OH, well I learned something new.

@KeepTakingTheSoma
Um, if one had a willy but no longer does, doesn't that make one a eunich?

Right now in our house, we have chocolate chip cook cookies, oatmeal raisin cookies, snickerdoodles, brownies, sticky buns, raspberry chocolate trifle and a drawer full of chocolate. Its a miracle that im not a major fat ass.

@Bleukitty
Libs whole approach to life is, I am miserable, I am constantly fretting.
I'm gonna make sure everybody else is miserable and fretting too.

@Humpleupagus @DrFell @freepatriot

Yes, hi was in commercials hyping their new "K" cars and minivans.

And later that whole "cab forward" thing

@DrFell @Humpleupagus @freepatriot
I remember this, Chrysler was on the brink. Mostly this was because they made huge cars and the oil embargo suddenly made gas guzzlers unpopular.
Lee Iacoca, was brought in to rescue it.
The stock was in the tank. I was sure Carter was going to bail them out, so I bought some Chrysler stock with earnings from a summer job. 2 months later the bail out was announced, and I tripled my money in 3 months. it was my first stock market experience. I was 14.

@Hoss once upon a time, I lived in DE. This isn't far off the mark. Im almost certain that 2/3 of the traffic on 95 in DE are just cars passing thru on their way to somewhere else.

Buying the dip doesn't mean you expect to hit the exact bottom of the market. As you start buying the dip, you know that it may drop further. nobody can time the exact bottom. The point is that you are getting the stock at a good value and it will recover over time.

Suppose a stock is at 30 on monday and drops to 20 on tuesday so you buy some and on Thrusday it falls to 15, so you buy some more, then it falls to 12.You have your shares at say an average of 18 so on paper you lost 6 per share...

@Hoss It won't take as long as people think. The last go around it took us (the company I work for) 3 weeks to move 5 million dollars per year out of China and to the US. It didn't increase our cost much either (about 1.8%). We are already making plans to move more. There is some excess capacity in the US and much can be brought on pretty fast. Brief period of pain, followed by much gain.
