    I think the country is so broken that even a war against an aggressor that is clearly in the wrong still won’t bring the country together. Just look at Ukraine. Now it’s all about self interest, elections, and power, not good vs evil. 

    there's a big chunk of americans that had to be dragged kicking and screaming to fight the nazis.

    Nitrogen!  Do they sell Michelin tires?   For whatever reason my euro cars come with and recommend Michelin but I live in AZ and am tired of the 2x a year weather change flat tires.  
     

    Yes they sell Michelin. 

     

    Nitrogen is snake oil.

    At the one in Arlington you just pull up to the tire bay and they drag a hose out and do your air. If you buy tires there they fill with nitrogen.

    Does your wife set out your clothes for you too?

    I didn't know Costco Centers had free air station.  I pumped up a family vehicle at gas station for $2 bucks.  I knew the machine was a ripoff when it had an NFC scanner and goddamn Apple Wallet logo on it.

    if you own a bicycle you probably have all the tools you need to inflate your tires.

  6. i'm old enough to remember when oil companies wanted courts to defer to the reasonable interpretation of regulators because courts are full of dumbshit lawyers who don't know shit about fuck whereas regulators tend to have subject matter expertise.

    Canada: The immigration minister is pushing to cap the number of foreign students admitted into Canada, to tackle a persistent housing crisis. Rent has gone up 22% in the last two years, while almost a million foreign students were admitted to Canadian schools last year.

    things that iowans should really care about:

    Quote

    Iowa is not a crude oil-producing state and does not have any proved oil reserves.53,54 Of more than 100 exploratory wells drilled in the state, only a handful ever produced oil. Those wells no longer produce, and their combined production was less than 500 barrels of crude oil.
