Just got an email from Hochul the Horrible stating that she's expanding free community college. So we can't afford her even more, now. Interestingly, I'm not necessarily opposed to free community college. I am opposed to how it is implemented, namely "free community college for some... the rest...

A lawsuit is the only way change will come about. They are violating the law, make them face that reality in the courts. (That said, they'd just change the law after someone won.)

Yeah, it seems everything is hybrid to some degree nowadays. My wife's 2024 V8 Ram qualifies as a "mild hybrid" due to the engine shutoff at stops. Which necessitates a 48V battery pack and belt-driven generator instead of an alternator. I'm scared to find out what it's going to cost to...

The thing is, gas goes up, people buy more electric, causing demand for gas to drop, and with it price... so people buy more ICE vehicles. Round and round we go. Electric still has a long way to go in terms of longevity and viability before I even consider it. I tend to drive vehicles until the...

lol... AI must be scared of Heelers.

Maybe not helpful, but it's pretty easy to change locks yourself. Maybe 10 min per door if you're new to it. 2-4 screws.

These are really nice. I'm tempted to get one even though I'd never use it. But I'll leave it for someone who will.

I loved watching Charlie Kirk debate people, and I think he was very good at presenting fact-based arguments in a calm manner, even when against rage-filled blue hairs. I agreed with a lot of what he said, but, like you, I was not a fan of his religious angle. In my opinion, organized religion...

Fraudulent plates in NY are easy to spot. They're the ones that aren't peeling :ROFL:

Eggs are still $5 a flat (30 eggs) at the farm around the corner. Even the double-yolkers.

Well, it certainly isn't Republican policies that are paying to house the homeless in motels in this state. A lot of people really have no idea as to the impact the debt is having, and will continue to have, on us. I have certainly heard people on both sides who are essentially clueless in...

Both ends of the political spectrum have a lot of common goals. Speaking generally, no one wants people getting murdered, no one wants homeless people camping on the streets, no one wants enormous debt, no one wants social security to fail, no one wants economic devastation, no one wants wars...

I suggest setting a calendar event on your phone, with recurrence every 3 years.

Waaaay late to the party here, but want to add something to this. Without a PA LTCF or other state's license that PA honors (and note that they distinguish between resident and non-resident licenses of states that they honor), you can carry outside of your vehicle, but you must carry openly...

Wow, that's bad. I've experienced some similar shenanigans in the past, but not that bad, thankfully. Story time: I was driving a group that was out drinking, and went to get my truck. Stopped across the street from the bar they were coming out of. As my gf (now wife) was crossing the street, a...
