I think rule 2 is…

A sucker is born every minute.

Rule number one of being rich; don’t spend your own money.

Sherman said “You must become the reconstruction you want to see in the south”.

That’s because “libertarians” these days are just Republicans with a small sense of shame, or they wanna smoke weed.

Real funny, because LEAD is an additive for avgas…

Gonna clarify a few things…

Hydrogen comes from water.

This is like saying flour comes from cake. You’ve got it backwards.

To turn an engine: We make controlled explosions inside a steel chamber to turn a crank using refined oil. The theory of operation does not change for hydrogen powered cars

Hydrogen opens up the possibility of using a fuel cell, skipping the noisy and inefficient combustion in favor of directly creating electricity and driving an electric motor.

Hydrogen: A truck pulls up to a beach - drop a hose - tank is full so wrap up the hose and drive off.

Not even close. To get hydrogen from water, you need a shit-ton of electricity and a lot of infrastructure, or you need to free it up with a chemical reaction (Aluminum and hydrochloric acid if I remember correctly). Right now the chemical way is lower cost and more available.

It’s better to use that electricity to move the car around, rather than split water with it and using the resulting hydrogen to move cars.

Adding to this… Traction control does not make you invincible. The computer is going to step in and selectively brake wheels to try to keep you in control of the car. You can absolutely get the car in a situation that the TC can not mitigate. When that system goes off, it should be a glaring alert to you, that you overdrove the car and conditions, and you need to re-evalute how you are driving immediately!

Unless you got a really cheap, or really old phone, it’s rated to handle that water and dirt exposure.

No, but I wouldn’t call delivering gravel high skill labor that I couldn’t do.

Sure there are legitimate needs for trucks. The vast majority of truck owners buy them to look cool, instead of actually doing truck things with them. Be proud that you may be the exception to the rule.

Vans, you’re thinking of vans. Becuase you can lock up all your expensive tools in a van, it keeps rain off your supplies, it gives you a mobile workspace with AC, and you can take out the seats or reconfigure it for the job at hand. All the tradesmen I know drive vans. All the idiots I know who want an expensive mall crawling pavement princess so they look like they could do actual work, buy trucks.

Fair. I can’t claim to be an expert on trump drug use. I’m going off a blurb I remember hearing somewhere, but I can’t attribute or verify.

Trump is also known to lie on occasion.

From what I’ve previously read, a young Trump had a close family member (I wanna say Uncle) die from drug abuse, specifically cocaine and alcohol, and he had to watch this guy spiral all the way down. Trump swore to stay away from drugs and booze after that, but I think it just scared the shit out of him. Plus, he had that drawer that was suspiciously full of “the good” sudafed.

VP can resign at any time though. I’d have to double check, but I don’t think there is a line if succession for the VP, since the President is over the VP, they can just select a new VP, although Congress may have to have a majority vote to accept the appointment.

Now to go check how good my HS government class was almost 20 years ago…

Edit : 25th Amendment, Section 2

Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.

I actually can’t find anything (quickly) about when/how the VP can resign, but I assume they would have to formally submit their resignation in writing, or verbally and directly to the President, who would accept the resignation. As far as I can tell, the VP could resign right after being sworn in.

On Facebook, I saw that my neighbor posted about her friend’s daughter’s cat going to a Trump rally and leaving early because of the smell. This is a 100% true, irrefutable fact, that can and should be quoted on national TV and taken seriously.

Guess what snorting cocaine (or Sudafed) does to your sense of smell?

They could always say that JD is officially on the ticket, but he is going to resign day 1 and let RFK Jr. have the job…

Sharpen/replace the blade. It’s cheap and easy to do, and it will cut like a brand new mower.

Also, this is a PSA that you should sharpen your shovel. Makes digging way easier.

Cha-chee cha-chee cha-chee

Send me a link and I can get you to ~12 million and 1 listens.

Yeah, and the campaign promo photo where you can see that his side table drawer is packed full of “the good” Sudafed.
