    How often do you guys change the spark plug on your ATV/SXS? I've got a 2014 Honda Pioneer 700 that I bought from a buddy and I don't know if the plug has ever been changed out. It's only has a little over 220 hrs. on the motor and runs fine, but it's cranky to start when it's cold outside. I bought a new plug for it, but it's a real bitch to get the boot off of the plug - it's tucked up under the seat and the only way to reach it with any leverage is to crawl up under the seat from underneath and I can't get it loose. It's probably not that big of a deal and is running fine, but I do think a new plug would probably help with the cold starts.
  3. In other words, Fever dreams aren’t evidence and you can gtfohwtmfbs.
  4. I don't know how to best handle the spread of disinformation over the internet, but I'm pretty sure repealing section 230 would have such significant knock-on effects that would alter the internet as we know it today. It would also make it so hard for new alternatives to FB and Twitter to get off the ground that it would strengthen their market share, not "break them up." There's also a huge disinfo campaign going on about what section 230 even does. I've seen a lot of people spouting BS about publisher vs. platform that in no way reflects the actual wording of the law. People can fairly debate the impacts of the law, but the wording of it plainly says that there is no distinction and there is no "line crossed" by a site choosing to moderate content.
  5. Ugh, I was not aware of that Js1. From what I've read, there was more of a case to be made for Mattis given the situation we were in at the time. But if we are going to waive the requirement in back to back administrations, then what's the point?
  6. Send Pete to Australia, seems to me that is where some of the heavy lifting in confronting China will get rolling.
  7. I really don't like this pick and it sounds like his confirmation may be DOA with a few key Dems showing some actual integrity and leadership in opposing a waiver for Austin. He might be a great man capable of putting his citizen hat on for this role, but you won't convince me that there aren't plenty of qualified candidates who don't need a waiver. The law was put in place for a reason and his confirmation wouldn't exactly turn back the tide of the increasing politicization of the military. And the "But Trump did it with Mattis" excuse is a really shitty way to look at pretty much anything that Biden does going forward.
  8. This has quickly become a tradition unlike any other. Roll up in here with their chests puffed out talmbout masks/lockdowns don't work, Covid is a nothingberder, etc. Numerous well-informed posters provide links and evidence showing this is plainly BS, then the concerned troll retreats to DT to whine about the libtard echo chamber that the CR has become. Reality has a liberal bias.
  9. Refreshing. The magat horde will be calling him a RINO cuck libtard who is guilty of sedition in very short order.
  10. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
  11. I just finished this one up on a road trip last week and really enjoyed it. Thought provoking and interesting for people my age who grew up during the cold war and remember doing bomb drills/getting under desks at school and whatnot.
  12. After about 10 alerts from the app, I've now got a Xbox X in my cart and am hung up on them accepting the payment method that already been stored in the Xbox store and that they charge every damn month. Get there!
  13. Thanks for the laugh this morning, top notch work all around, really, just incredible. How far down did your heart sink when it hit home that you had the wrong El Paso - ball sack or ankles?
  14. Installed this and got an alert that it was available at the MS store about 15 minutes ago. I was looking at my phone when the alert popped up and they were already out of stock by the time the MS store loaded on my browser. Appreciate the heads up though, maybe I'll get lucky.
  15. I was today years old when I learned about Newsome and Guilfoyle being married at one point.
  16. Put on your big girl britches and do the right thing. Or kindly stfu and prepare to deal with the consequences of your own actions - party of personal responsibility, amirite?
  17. Crap like that doesn't help and it gives the hoaxers something to chirp about. He should be dragged over it.
  18. We all had them in our vehicles in high school during the mid 90's. I stole my dad's handle from the 70's - The Texas Chuckwagon.
  19. Yea, that was pre golf-course-blackmail.
  20. I wouldn't say I've been surprised, but more disappointed or vexed. Particularly in a few close friends, most of my family, and most of my coworkers that didn't just go along with Trump because of their irrational fear of socialism (or whatever), but were actual ardent supporters. With no policies goals to speak of, no value system to guide how he would govern, etc. I just can't understand it. Between that and the inability to call out blatant wrongdoing and living in an alternative reality of Trump's creation, it's been very hard to watch. And watching them continue to participate in this charade after the election makes me doubt that we are going to return to "normal" anytime soon.
  21. Very much this. I was in my car by myself when I heard it for the first time and caught myself thinking about my old dog Gus <sign of the cross> and messed around and got a bit emotional. It's a great song.
  22. Where do I subscribe to your newsletter?
