Did Fox News tell you to write that?

Perhaps rationing has already started? My coworker and his family received notice today that their flight to France was cancel. Part of the message said: "The disruption is caused by extraordinary surge in oil prices followed by unpr

I don't think that's the case. There are five people in my office including myself. Three of them are Jewish. None of them ever have anything positive to say about Israel. The three Jewish people in my office certainly don&#x2

That happens frequently. When I first returned to the mainland after ~10 years in the Caribbean, the first job I landed was for a Korean company. I ran their CNC line. I single handedly maintained and ran 6 5 axis DMGs. They sent down a

For years now, I've seen the same old advice repeated: learn a skilled trade and you can support your family. I started wearing a tool belt for work before I even finished high school. I worked in various skilled trades until I was 38

Only one abused her that I’m aware of, but I know she abused two of her husbands. She was a very violent lady. She shot my biological father when I was 14 months old.

If you don't have any kind of marketable skills yet want to make a decent living with plenty of benefits, becoming a LEO is the easiest choice for most people. Or if you don't have any marketable skills yet have a spouse that has

I was raised by LEOs. My mother and all four of her husbands were career long LEOs in the South. Of course this is just based on my anecdotes, but LEOs have some of the thinnest skin imaginable. The first time I fought a grown man was whe

Those cops embarrassed themselves. Especially that one lady that was faux crying. Shameful behavior from the largest gang in the US.

This is why I deleted all of my social media when it began to look like Trump was going to win his second term. I had already suffered enough harassment and death threats from the Nextdoor app and a bit of the same from Facebook. I know I&

That brings back memories. When I was aged 9-12, I made enough money mowing lawns during the summer to afford to have multiple phone lines to support my BBS. I made a bit of money during the fall raking leaves as well. But when winter ti

I'm sure there are. One of my mother's husbands — she had four, all cops — loved to tell the story about arresting a man outside of a Zippy Mart on Virginia Loop Road in Montgomery, AL. The cashier called 911 and told them that a

Sounds like the opposite of trickle down economics.

I thought this was going to be about someone that wanted to go to jail in order to receive meals and/or healthcare. But this article was far more interesting.

It’s only going to get worse as long as our current administration is in place. They’ve made the bigots feel comfortable and safe expressing their hatred.

Arab and Cullman are the two that still operate like this based on my own anecdotes. But most of the Birmingham suburbs could probably also be classified as sundown towns. Arab/Skant City is the most 'in your face' example.

Exactly. The State of Alabama loves to make things are difficult as possible for Democrat ran cities. But to be fair, the Montgomery Democrats usually aren't much better.

It's good to see Birmingham finally doing something right. It so easy to become distracted by the corruption and the drama surrounding the water board at the moment.

I stopped at the ad hominem and didn't read the rest of your comment.

The South is a bit of a lost cause. I was born and raised in Alabama. I spent many years out of the country and also living elsewhere in the US. But I've been back in Alabama since October 2010. These people here love to shoot thems

Damn that's a big difference when compared to how the State of Alabama treats solar energy. You get penalized for having solar panels here in Alabama the Beautiful.

What's wilder is the fact that my generation was told that rock music, rap music, video games, etc would be lead to the decline of our society. But it turns out that Fox News was far more destructive than all of those things combined.

It may be common, but in my ~20 years of pushing wrenches, I've only ever seen that issues on Jaguars and Land Rovers. Unless we're talking about long abandoned cars that have sat outside for years.

Let's check back in a few years and see how many of those new Defenders ever make it to 100k miles.

The Toyota/Lexus 4.7L and 5.7L engines are pretty much the two most reliable V8s ever put into production vehicles. The Chevrolet 6.0 is probably the only other V8 that would possibly come close to the reliability afforded by the Toyo
