About the bear going around and looking at the backside of the mirror: I had a cat once who did that with a television! LOL.

I’m just glad it wasn’t Florida man this time.

@Jolly said in If electric cars have to pay road taxes...: Secondly, don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining. You know very well the government has the right to license bicycles and they have the right to make some of them or all of them pay a road use tax. True or false? No fucking equivocations or coulda, woulda, shoulda, just a simple yes or no is sufficient. Show us the principled argument for taxing bicycles on public thoroughfares that wouldn’t apply to pedestrians using streets and sidewalks.

RIP Tony Dow for realz this time.

I dont see that being built and of course, the artist drawings are a "best case" viewing, but it does look cool.

I ran through a half box of 3" mags in the Franchi this past week, then cleaned her up. Have gun. Will travel.

If I hark waaay back, I'd still have to say the funniest movie I ever saw was A Shot In The Dark with Peter Sellers.

I call BS. They’ll be back once the Ukraine thing is settled.

@mark said in Had my gas tank siphoned…: Did they bust open the locking fuel filler door? Nope... Didn't have one. 2014 GMC... Just tap it in and it pops open.

@George-K Two thirds for sure. As for the last 1/3: look at Seiji's face. I rest my case.

He conveniently ignores the fact that when he got Covid, he was double Vaxxed and double boosted. His “predecessor,” you know, the “clown” and “buffoon” wasn’t even single vaxxed.

Lots of analysis here, but is it as simple as... parents/culture not expecting teens to work? For me, getting a job at 16 (well for me it was 15, lifeguarding) was very much expected for me and my friends. Wasn't even a question, really...other than asking where the first job would be. BTW I'm on the bubble of X and Millennial.

A mayor who knew how to run a city would never let this story see the light of day.

@Axtremus said in Cosmetic Surgery Can Kill You: Misleading sensational headline. A more accurate one is "Lung Puncture by Plastic Surgeon Who May Not Have Recognized It Can Kill You." Even more accurate.

See where Birx admitted they lied about the vaccine?

But what about the armpit hair?

@Catseye3 That's what I said. The F stands for "fine"

@Klaus said in Why in this day and age is dental work not covered by medical insurance?: @jon-nyc said in Why in this day and age is dental work not covered by medical insurance?: Too easy to game. I heard a dentist once say the average middle aged American has 50k of unperformed dental work in his mouth. It would be too easy to insure yourself for a year, get many thousands of work, and cancel. Our experience with our kids and the kids of many acquaintances: If your child is 10-14 years old and you send him or her to an orthodentist, your child will in 100% of the cases end up with some kind of dental brace, and the procedure will always cost around $10K. It's like a law. Mine gets braces next month. lol

No one ever accused me of being a devoted multiculturalist. People - all animals, really - like to associate with those who are rather like themselves. I think America does a pretty good job of being that melting pot, by and large, where people assimilate rather than segregate. Well, not Phibes, but you can only expect so much.
