You’re getting lucky with the Infiniti. Nissan/Infiniti are consistently the most unreliable Japanese autos. And I’m a huge Datsun fan with 3 in my stable. Carlos has managed to turn Nissan/Infiniti into the rental/fleet car

My Land Cruiser is still going strong with just shy of 270k. The next timing service is due in less than 3k miles and I’ll perform the work myself just like I’ve always done. I’ve spent 20 years working as a carpenter and electrician, but f

Are you assuming that she won't try to pressure and influence her husband the way that she has tried to pressure and influence others?

This is the kind of behavior we used to see out of "The Machine" in Alabama. No one likes a bully.

Exactly. Firearms are my main hobby other than woodworking, but I always chuckle whenever I see a 2A advocate wearing one of those Reagan shirts that have become so popular. And who knows how many thousands of lives have been ruined as a r

Wera makes quality stuff. I keep a small set of Wera drivers and sockets in each of my vehicles. And I keep one of their multi drivers upstairs in my office and one downstairs in the kitchen. They get used weekly.

I’m not sure how the Reagan governorship is effecting California to this day, but I know that the US still hasn’t recovered from his presidency.

As an Alabamian, I am grateful for California. Alabama wouldn’t be able to survive without the financial support we receive from California.

The police in the US exist to monetize our mistakes and protect the the wealth of wealthy individuals.

You’d be surprised if more than 1% of the US’s prison population is innocent?

by hollywood_court 4y ago
I believe it’s reasonable to assume that far more than 5% of people behind bars are actually innocent. I was raised by two career long LEOs and if even a small fraction of other LEOs were as bad as my folks, it would be safe to assume that

I’ve been “chatting” on the web since the mid 90s when I used IRC. Discord is the best thing I’ve found. My group and I love it.

Your last paragraph reminds me of what my wife calls “one of your favorite sayings.” “It’s difficult to respect someone that doesn’t respect themselves.” Of course that doesn’t mean treat people in a disrespectful manner, but I don’t unders

I wish she listed which online bootcamp she took. I’m right down the road from her in Auburn and this gives me hope as someone who is trying to become a web developer later in life at age 40.

She could not conceive. She finally found a doctor that helped her conceive but she lost the baby and it was likely due to her weight.

My SIL has fired 3 different gynecologists because they each asked her to try to lose weight.

You pretty much just described John Sarno’s theory. I’ve also convinced myself that my pain is to prevent me from “acting out” as a result of the trauma and neglect I experienced as a child.

I smoked for ~18 years and I stopped cold turkey by using one simple trick. I associated smoking with an individual that I did not like. This was an individual who had no admirable qualities at all and they smoked. Whenever I thought of ha

Some of us are able to use shame as a motivator. I am the only individual in my known family that isn’t obese. Everyone on my mothers side and the few I know on my fathers side are all obese. While I was growing up I was told that I too wou

Not necessarily. Since my wife and I married 8 years ago, we’ve never spent more that 40% of our combined income annually. I haven’t had consistent income for almost 9 months now as I am attempting to transition from a blue collar lifestyle

I’ve been struggling with chronic neck and shoulder pain for approximately 8 years. I’ve had a cervical fusion and also a labral repair surgery. Neither surgery offered me any relief whatsoever. That’s when I began to convince myself that t

We have completely remodeled both the exterior and interior of our last 70's home. But we haven't replaced a single appliance. I have made far too much money repairing newer appliances for clients and friends.

I built a gutter estimating app for pricing seamless gutter installations. I’m a carpenter, but I spent a few weeks helping a friend with his gutter business years ago. He would spent 45-60 minutes building an estimate for each potential cl
