  1. listen just for the vibe, then the lyrics
  2. I'm not trying to be anyone's internet Israeli girlfriend
  3. A few scattered thoughts from a pleb... The tweet about special forces is awesome, if there is one thing I know about clandestine military groups, it's that they definitely need more help with their social media presence The outrage machine has been turned on and turned up Fuck the Russians, Fuck Hamas, Fuck Iran... list too long What has Hamas done to Israel that Russia hasn't done to Ukraine? So why is the outrage machine only now going full blast? Russia can fight back, maybe? And maybe this a way they are fighting back. Russia is the big winner here, arms, money, and attention is off the old non sexy war for towns with no vowels... There's a new hotness that needs ALL the weapons and every politician will line up to send them.
  4. Lulz, of course it does! Does it take bitcoin for the seat heater?
  5. Hey, I obviously like Tundras, but one other thing I forgot to mention is the large turning radius. Make sure you're ok with that. Also $39k for a used Tundra? Good thing I only buy trucks every 20yrs or so.
  6. Why? are the Uvalde police finally saddled up and set to go in? Americans or not, I'm not sure anything would change as it relates to US / Hamas "relations" and it's not like the US can be anymore in the bag for Israel than we already are. So what changes? Hell we get kids slaughtered here on the regular and nothing changes.
  7. Something something revelations something something
  8. I meant tire wear on the outside fronts... it's a really common thing https://www.tundrasolutions.com/threads/alighnment-problem-anyone-have-the-outside-edges-of-their-front-tires-wear-quickly.124533/
  9. I did my last brake job last year. I taught each kid how to do it on their own car. Not that I ever expect them to change their brakes, I just wanted them to know the work involved and how badly they'll be screwed it they go to a mechanic without a clue about what they need done. I had them call a few places to get quotes on 4 wheel pads and rotors. Easy $1000+ with a teenager calling. Then ordered the parts <$300 and put them on in a few hours.
  10. And best resale. If you're looking for an older Tundra, be sure to check: the frame, rust belt trucks have real issues. Valve tap on start up.. 4.7L Front tires scrubbing (no way to avoid, just factor it in negotiation) Fuel mileage is abysmal Toyotas are also boring in the best possible ways
  11. Does the 2017 have the front tire scrubbing problem? Asking for my 2013 Crewmax
  12. Was driving yesterday and was listening to the Gata game on WRUF. I actually heard an attack ad on Gaetz from an outfit that claimed he was voting with Democrats to screw over conservatives and raise their taxes. And other wild weird accusations! It was either a brilliant piece by a liberal org or the circular firing squad has begun. I was so bemused that I missed the name, it was something something citizens for tax reform.
  13. Your post hurts. Been there 1000's of times. In a calm demeanor, I call them out now. Every time, I'm done. (insert German dinner party nazi saying) The South could be one of the most incredible places in the world. Anger, ignorance, and fear are holding back would could be incredible. But in this instance of the simulation we are getting billboards, truck stops, stripmall churches, bail bonds, and check cashing stores. Recently was in the UK, Folks there can pick out the slight southern affect in my voice. On two separate occasions people mentioned that they always wanted to visit the south but that they don't think its safe. I suppose statistically they are correct, but I do think on average they would be blown away by southern hospitality.
  14. As a kid who grew up in 70's in the Gentile South, it's laughable to think the republicans (or any organization really) wasn't virulently racist. Our parents had attended segregated schools, ate in segregated restaurants, and among the family stories were anecdotes of Granddaddies' slaves and the "War of Northern Aggression". Along side fields there were small wooden huts that previously were inhabited by sharecroppers and slaves before them. Cities, towns, and geographical features are named after large plantations that long since disappeared into modernity. So, In my lifetime, we can dispense with the fallacy non racist republicans. As for change in the republican party, It's clear that you lucky lot didn't grow up in the shadow or the 700 Club, CBN university, Gerry Fallwell, Daughters of the Confederacy, Edgar Cayce and the like. The dark rise of the Costco Republicans brought religious and ideological purity tests to the party and perhaps more importantly brought politics fully and openly into the churches. The ultimate synergistic grift fusion. Churches used to mince around political issues for fear of losing their tax exempt status... That concern has been wiped away. The culture war is on baby, and Jesus prefers AR.
  15. Ha! just looked up the va-2 district. I have some thoughts, but all of them are outdated, uninformed, or both. Good luck and godspeed!
  16. Scotland is great, make sure you have good great rain gear. I have a Northface jacket I use for skiing, it's supposed to be their brand of Goretex, but under heavy rain and wind, it wetted out in about 4hrs. Goretex only, and test it all before you go. I know this thread is probably just as much about camping as hiking, but for Scotland I'd home base at a BNB and day hike it. Then have a wee dram by a peat fire after hot shower and a warm meal. The highlands are isolated enough, if you pick something off the beaten path, first of all there won't be a path, and if there is, you won't run into anyone else... This was a beautiful day, but the apocalypse is coming up the sound just on the other side of the Ben Hiant The Black Cullins of Skye Best resource I've found for Scotland https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/
  17. You have to get at least 3 quotes, ideally in 2 or more languages with different alphabets
  18. The Greeks are pretty open about the fact that they garnered a lot of knowledge from the Persians (old empire). Including using workers from all over the middle east to help build their wonders. They had the cash and outsourced a lot of the expertise. There are blocks found in athens that standardize measurements used by foreign workers building the Parthenon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Greek_units_of_measurement
