    WORLD CUP 2026 THREAD

    That's the difference between soccer and hockey. With soccer, the players pretend they are injured. With ice hockey, the players pretend they aren't.

    GM Gen VI V-8 engine will be available in 2027

    Diversity, Equity and Inclusion? I'm not stating that as a conclusion, but actually asking a question. It is a rare form of screwing up to take your reliable bread and butter trucks and SUVs and make them the laughing stock of the automotive world. And she hasn't been fired and is still getting...

    Happy Father's Day

    Tell her the Phillips head screwdriver is the proper tool to etch the paint on a car and not to use the slotted head?

    A B-52 crashed today on takeoff

    In addition to the two Boeing civilians, I read there were two Government civilians on-board.

    The Current New Truck Market Is In Trouble

    I have to agree with you completely. When I can get a new Z71 Chevy Silverado 1500 with a reliable 5.3 for $40k I'll consider replacing my 2013. Otherwise they can sit on the lot.

    Restaurant adding things to your bill.

    If there is a service charge, then the restaurant management has decided the tip amount. I will never tip on top of a service charge.

    *Investors Blog*

    More like no fees in a Fidelity IRA! The one thing to watch out for is if your balance qualifies you for a "free" account executive. They can be a lot of help consolidating accounts and establishing goals, but watch out for when they become salesmen. Just say no to their AUM fee accounts or...

    Mid-air at Mountain Home AFB Today

    My daughter sent me this video. I was initially convinced it was AI because of the unusual collision with little observed damage, no airborne fireball, and the aircraft remaining entangled during ejection and crash. I was suprised to find it was real. There are an inordinate number of airshow...

    Friendly Friday at Walmart- what is happening?

    ...and then she said to you: "Mr. Keryk, that's the third time this week you've left your wallet at my register!".

    Unusual multiple issues - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica

    Brother-in-law and sister-in-law had a Pacifica around the same year. It went through those fluid filled engine mounts about every 25k miles. At the time the dealer charged $1300 to replace, money they didn't have. He brought it to me for the 3rd set. The middle one was quite a challenge, so...

    Primm, Nevada about ready to shut down all its businesses?

    Actually, the Mob was famous for skimming, the exact opposite of money laundering. With laundering, you funnel ill gotten cash into a business and report it as profit. You pay tax on it, but after reporting, it's clean. With skimming, you take unreported cash out of a business and pay no cash...

    Primm, Nevada about ready to shut down all its businesses?

    It's like a lot of things. Large corporations take over, sell the buildings and land for a windfall, lease it back, then have a nut so big they end up providing no value to the customers in order to make that nut. I used to go to casinos all the time when I visited Vegas in the 70s, 80s and...

    If applying for jobs, here is a tip

    There are specific categories you can not use for the basis of discrimination. I could be wrong, but I don't think political beliefs are included in those categories. At least in my state.

    A cool story about California's Central Coast

    If by trade schools, you mean they teach useful skills that enable the graduates to obtain high paying STEM jobs, rather than liberal arts degrees that qualify those graduates for jobs that pay less than being a McDonald's assistant manager, then I'm in complete agreement with you. If I read...

    Worst Rock Song of All Time

    I rule out anything by Courtney Love or Yoko Ono because, frankly, their music was so bad it never got any air time on the stations I listened to. I would call their music fringe, but that would be an insult to the word "fringe". With widely played actual rock music I don't know which song was...
