  1. Probably. Who knows, the pubs may run someone who's not completely whacked out? Lot of crazy going on with them right now but have to believe there are still has to be some consultants out there than can convince them to reign this bullshit in a bit? I dunno.
  2. Eh. Partial credit. Maybe he should have stuck with an O/U, Obama didn't seem to have any issues with it. It was a photo op, like most politicians outdoors (cue Cruz fishing). Or, maybe all that natural testosterone flowing just caused his masculine fingers to fumble it all up. But he was tossed in there in haste, he's got 3 years to figure it out this time. Might have gotten wires crossed. I couldn't in good conscience vote for him, and I don't think he's switching parties anytime soon. But I think the pendulum is going to swing back hard, and someone who is very smart and doesn't have a overt dislike for America isn't the worst thing in the world.
  3. There's definitely a facet of them that as of late, seem to have taken some of our core ideals as an affront. Not really sure what's going on with that, but I figure those guys will fizzle out in the next few years. Or maybe we keep our bookend groups that completely ignore the foundation and ideals of the country, who knows. I think there is going to be a continued fight to see who can get their side to the end of their respective horseshoe.
  4. I don't think there is anyone, anywhere who questions his intelligence. Even Trumpers living in buttfuck Trumpville, USA. I don't have the slightest idea on his social thoughts, though. I know a lot of the progressives hated the McKinsey thing, so I figure he was somewhat down the center. But obviously the elephant in the room, he's gay, so one could assume he could easily be more socially liberal. I don't know. I'll do some studying up on him as the years get nearer '28, because I think a younger veteran with that intelligence is a shoe in. He'd beat Vance imo. He'd crush someone like Stephen Miller. Is this a joke? Progressives hate everything that was, and currently is, America. They'll continue to hate it until we are all the same shade of color, are unarmed, and have equalized bank accounts. Then they'll find something new about us to hate, I suppose. Probably silly, imaginary borders if I had to guess. Or the time honored classic of your lineage.
  5. You tell me. It was your party telling us how manly Walz was, and how important it was for him to have such a healthy type of masculinity. Remember, the avid sportsman that couldn't unload his shotgun. Dollars to donuts Pete's got him beat there, too. I want yall to run Pete because I think D's win big next few cycles and he seems like the only choice that doesn't outright hate America.
  6. Same. I remember it taking the air out the sails of a lot of Trumpers, too. Biden was DOA, Harris was new and energetic and (apparently) blowing thru TONS of money and was all over the place. Womp. Give me Pete 1000x over AOC. Guy is smarter than the field combined, and more masculine that Walz could ever pretend to be. Enjoying getting hulled out shouldn't preclude you from the presidency.
  7. It's just a tighter way to fish a mauler imo. Tighter like a mauler with more beads than stroke.
  8. Carmax was a PIA for us about 12 months ago when we sold wife's Yukon. Had perfect experience with Carvana, even let us have "within 1000 miles" to drive it until they came and picked it up at house. They offered about $3500 more on a 32 offer sell price (29 vs 32.5) Wonder if we just caught Carmax on a bad day. Only sell cars once or twice a decade so wont figure it out I reckon.
  9. carguru is helpful in determining the market and eventual purchase. Especially helpful if you really want to nail down a certain spec.
  10. Well, everyday since this January. Pretty new phenomenon, really.
  11. I know GM's will, so would assume Ford is the same. In 290k miles I only limped it due to DPF once, and that was after it went out (no longer receiving correct voltage to fire off) and it was after I towed our camper across the state and back. Even then the limp wasn't that bad. It would slowly build power but i could feather it up to 60+ mph (trying to get on highway to force a regen before I figured out the issue). That truck was not DEF so I don't know how that affects the process. I will say with my Ford, I will sometimes go 3 months without needed to add DEF, and sometimes it seems like I'm filling up every few weeks. No change in driving or towing. Not going to try real hard to figure it out as when it breaks, it'll get deleted.
  12. Shoes in the house is nasty af. But I do now wonder why they don't put them in the garage? I'm in Sugarland everyday, and I don't ever recall seeing shoes on the porch. I'd trade the erratic driving and shoes on front porch for a few really solid restaurants in a heartbeat. Way down the list of neighbors to be worried about. I think the multigenerational living in one house thing irks people (only complaint I've ever actually heard) and really I think most of that is from having a completely full driveway plus cars in the street type of deal.

    LBGTQ

    Ana's position (as I understand his posts) does represent some type of side, incorrect or otherwise. Same as a host of other issues like abortion, assisted suicide, etc. etc. There is a side that will be correct, and one that will prove not to be. Me personally, I'm a big proponent of involving the parents in ALL care up to when they become adults, but I can understand how that can be an issue with subjects such as abortion, transitioning, etc. in certain households (RELIGOUS or hateful) I don't understand your statement, because I do not have strong, or even weak, feelings for any of it. I understand this is one of the biggest parts of your life (in general, not so much the young transitioning), but the last person with gender dysphoria (is this correct term?) I saw was when I was Christmas shopping last year. Just not something I see or that's on my mind outside of reading on this site, or conversating with...you. Anyways, tight lines @troph.

    Maybe Surly shouldn't be added to the enshitification thread yet. Wish you wouldn't have posted this as I don't really have the time anymore. But generally fucking up your day even the slightest bit does truly make me happy, way down deep in the cockles of my heart. Imagine being you and still believing that Ana is the poster that sucks. Literally what I posted upthread.

    LBGTQ

    *Lolzing and celebrating hypocrisy, sir. And Ana is far from a troll. He holds some very strong views on several subjects that go against the flow/politics if this board. But he's been here for 20(?) years and is routinely engaged with some of our most prolific posters in deep conversations. Lately, he seems to have held onto those convictions even a bit tighter, but being passionate isn't trolling. I'd would agree in regards to this thread. But it's being celebrated in at least the pope thread as well. Like I said above, if this as your typical animal+tobbacco level posting, it would be different. In any case, he'll take a week or more off and maybe come back and reengage, maybe not. I don't really care other than sometimes he has some spirited thoughts on subjects here.

    Why do you want to shut down the internet? In actuality, I quit posting my thoughts on these threads long ago, so #partofthesolution LOL royiv. Get it all out honey.
  17. The amount of stuff they can do thru the screens is insane though. I was watching a vid on one of the RTR stangs, and all the line locks, hand brake sensitivity, launch control settings, everything is run thru that big as screen. I dont really like all the real estate it takes up but as much shit as they are running off of it, i understand. Good stuff starts about 12:00 in.

    I'm glad you got the joke.

    LBGTQ

    I don't disagree. Hell, it appears he even tried to DM you, and I assume that wasn't to be aggro or an asshole. Unless I missed it, no one treated you in a disrespectful manner. I read your entire posts (over last few pages anyhow) and hope it works out for your family, in whatever manner that means. I don't have any strong feelings on the subject, one way or the other. I read what Troph and others post from their experiences, and that's about it. I just thought it was out of character for this website's typical moderation, and reminded me of another that we very often bag on. And to be honest, I was surprised at the level of Yay, the only person challenging my thoughts is now removed so we can all discuss our exact same ideas in unison. That's not typical from some of the more prolific and intelligent posters posting in this thread. In the last 48 hours I've seen the moderation of "don't put death threats and idea of public acts of terror on this site, chill out with it" and also "fuck, you, no fuck you, you're banned".

    LBGTQ

    Lol. Biggest man on the internet, per usual. Never change bud. Lol. I'm not mad at all. I'm assuming Ana is a big boy, and can handle a ban from his "shit posting". I can understand the feeling when every person I disagree with is silenced so I can discuss things with only like minded individuals I guess. It's the claim that now "both sides" can be discussed and its now a very productive conversation that I find absolutely fucking comical. And that's said with a straight face by a bunch of highly educated and "deep thinking" posters. L. O. L.

    LBGTQ

    Yeah. Completely opposite sides those two are on. The only dissenting voice on the last 10 pages of the thread took a weeks vacation. Celebration of Texaggy style moderation not on my bingo card today. Wonder how far off we are from imma challenging posters to fist fights in the parking lot of surly HQ.
  22. I made that swap a few years ago. Makes terrible fiscal sense but worth it imo. I'm not one shot one bird tho Hard to make a run on something that is NEVER stocked (where I am anyhow). Online or random inner city walmarts ftw.
  23. Money turns itself over roughly every 7 years in the (normal) markets. GoFund me knockoff is holding well over half million now. There's a chance he could come out of this a millionaire before his classmates finish grad school. What a deterrent.
