    So funny. Confirmation bias is real, so when earth-first types see a Prius they immediately feel a warm vindication of their worldview. This dude is going out of his way to turn their smile to a frown.

    I don’t think it will turn off his supporters and small money donors. They think all the lawsuits are political witch hunts, and every time he loses he raises money off of it. The investor class who write the big checks will probably cool down if they see their money going to defend his...

    Someone in this crowd has to have some sort of trebuchet that could launch a tannerite-laden Maytag into orbit for some grown man duck-hunt.

    This ain’t true. When I was in China I heard an exchange between a woman from Spain, a man from Germany, and the Chinese guy at the airport. What language were they speaking? English. We already won the battle of the universal language of business. Signs point to China not taking over the world...

    I’m for cultural influence, for sure. But if I ever refer to myself as Danish-American please kick me in the gonads.

    Didn’t you just say America is the melting pot, and that’s great? How then is being a hyphenated American not less, or at least different, than being fully melted into the pot? The hyphens by their implication suggest being less than regular American, it indicates that they identify as a...

    I would like to see you explain houndoc's position on immigration in a way that he agrees fully expresses his view. Just to make sure it is not beyond your comprehension. Then you can resume your bafflement.

    Jeep Jeep Wrangler based truck (JT Gladiator)

    These 38x13’s came on mine, and the wheels have them sticking out farther than I want. When these are done, I plan on going 37x11.50 on some regular wheels to stay flush with the fenders, and fit the spare. And regear to 4:88’s. ALSO the bumper in this photo is for sale for a good deal.

    I’m actually pro immigration for real though. People who want their jobs protected are lazy sacs who don’t deserve to vote, let alone dictate policy. Immigrants have always been the ones doing the heavy lifting to build the country. I have a couple of Honduran guys that do work for me on...

    If we’re talking immigration should be like it was when grand-pappy Jens Gottfredson came over from Denmark in the 1850’s, then I’m pro immigration. He had zero government subsidies or social safety nets, had to provide value to society or literally die. Big fan of that system.

    New cars are worse than old cars

    The broncos actually inspired this post. I had one I owned for a year and put 20k miles on it. HATED the tech. Was the reason I sold. But my memory is short, so I went and drove one the other day, thinking maybe I misjudged them, since they look so cool. Nope. Still hate. I ended up finding a...

    I’ve been with State Farm and just got a quote from Deseret insurance (using bear river mutual) that was slightly cheaper, and that was before whatever discount would come from adding home insurance. It’s been about $6,700/yr for 5 cars, and we just added another, so I need to figure this out.

    New cars are worse than old cars

    I really dislike new car technology. Driving my older, analog cars that don’t beep and flash and try to tell me what to do is so much better of an experience. Is this a natural part of being in your forties and elevating stuff from “the good old days” above what the kids these days are into...

    So apparently this is one of those hard hats where the dude wears it "backwards" with the brim facing back. Since Biden has only worn hardhats for photo ops he just went bill forward and hoped for the best. Leader of the free world.

    You looking at that unimog 419 on Facebook for $28k? Looks like a sweet deal. I wanted to buy it and modify the front loader with some quick disconnects to connect large forks and a tree spade. Was so close to pulling the trigger. But then I remembered I don't know how to do any of that, or have...
