How now brown cow? It started today. We will see if it’s my prediction or yours that bears out in the next few days.

Imma staple so much shit together, bro.

Europe is going to go for the “nuclear option” of dumping US debt. Prepare for your dollar to suffer inflation, perhaps super inflation. Me? I’m going to WalMart today to buy some staples because I don’t think my dollar will buy nearly as much by the end of next week.

Nothing drastic, just an extra pack of TP, some OTC drugs and probably some dog food. I’m pretty set up for apocalyptic bullshit already. But fellow residents: get ready.

and a heavy machine gun slung by his side.

OK, I can’t take journalists seriously when they think an M-4 is a “heavy machine gun”. JFC, at least know the terms before you report on armed invaders.

No, it’s not us GenX buying ski condos. It’s corpos like BlackRock buying up everything at 10% over ask and trying to turn the country into permanent renters. They figured out they will make more money over 30 years by renting it out and barely maintaining it than by backing mortgages.

the best electric motorcycle under $15,000

Pardon? I can go down to the Kawasaki dealer and buy a KLR 650 with ABS for like… $8k? Electric bikes are cool and all but goddamn, twice the price?

Two wilted leaves of cabbage in his head. He’s really just gone at this point. Never was very smart but now it’s obvious his forebrain is really shrinking.

I emailed my senators and my rep to tell them to do fucking SOMETHING about this sabre rattling. Write up some fucking legislation saying that the US cannot invade NATO nations, at the fucking minimum.

Will they listen? Take three guesses, first two don’t count.

They travel in gangs of four or more and pick off singles and doubles. Even if you wanted to get in a firefight (bad idea in any case) those are shitty odds.

My bad. Good research.

Oh. Well, that’s not really a “four car driveway” IMO

So just big-ass fenders sticking out over the wheels?

Oh, the one with the hatchet on the back to split shakes?

Not apropos at all, but there’s a little device called a “caltrop” and it’s really easy to make if you have a way to weld and bend common nails. I mean, I wouldn’t advise putting these things on your local streets because they will definitely fuck up pneumatic tires and nobody needs that shit.

They are the same size they have been for 20+ years

edit: oops, I’m wrong

False. The track width of SUVs hasn’t changed in 20+ years.

edit: aww, some people don’t know how to look at spec sheets.

edit again: oops, I’m wrong.

That’s shitty. In my town we aren’t allowed to park on the “yard” like in that town but here all she would have had to do is put a strip of gravel where the tire ran over and it’s legal.

But if it’s a four car driveway and they have four cars why don’t the cars fit?

I think FRS is the only thing legally available without a license. You can buy GMRS radios on Amazon that will communicate with FRS radios on all of the FRS channels, see here:

https://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/FRS/GMRS_combined_channel_chart

However, these radios are VERY limited in an urban area with lots of concrete towers. In my experience the GMRS radios on “high power” really only go one little valley over out in the woods. In the city you might get two or three blocks because of all the concrete. You are required to have a license to use GMRS and identify your station every 15 minutes but almost nobody does it. Hell, I listen to the local walmart using GMRS and you’re not even supposed to use it for commercial purposes.

Maybe Meshtastic? That’s a radio I haven’t messed with and I don’t know about it’s performance in an urban environment.

Ear piece highly recommended. The audio is not like a phone call and in a loud environment you will not be able to copy. Practice beforehand because radio is not like a phone call, you need to have some experience.

You can’t even really call it a cover-up, as that implies some subterfuge.

They are simply putting everything in a box and saying, “Nope, we got this. You assholes go away.”

I do contribute. Drive for a local charity a few hours a month. They need a truck, I got a truck.

I’m frustrated as fuck with the govt. right now. but, they voted it in and now we have to try to get through it. I hope it doesn’t end with bloodshed.
