I think it’s more of a, I’ve heard these names, those are your guys right?

Like he always says things like “Your boy, Gavin Newsom, blah blah blah”. When me and my wife have never cared for or shown any support for the guy. A lot of poking at Democrats he dislikes like that.

I think he also talked kindly of Mamdani, then essentially took it back when he realized was actually going to get elected. I usually get this sort of “this guy isn’t a threat to my politics so I’m okay with it, but if that changes then I won’t like them.”

I have however experienced exactly what you are talking about from a conservative friend who was all for Marco Rubio during presidential primaries, absolutely hated AOC for some reason, but would gladly vote for Bernie Sanders over Trump. I really don’t get his reasoning.

Definitely better than Schumer and Jeffries. It is the “in the machine” that gives me pause.

I think the other thing, which is definitely biased, is that my maga-ish father in law who is always watching fox news seemed to think he was the ideal choice. I guess that can either be a good he can bridge things, or a bad this is what maga actually wants for some reason…

Thanks for the correction. Still think we have some better senators coming in, albeit not that much experience yet…

I think I would rather it be someone like AOC.

Yeah, not worth the saved money…

To add the little bit I know to the comments above.

Car batteries are not the same as AGM (often sold as scooter or marine batteries) or newer LiFePO4 batteries.

While I think AGM and car batteries both are lead acid, car batteries are designed to have one big discharge to start an engine and then recharge from an alternator. The other batteries are designed for a slower discharge over time.

The batteries commonly used in battery backups were usually AGM type, and now the LiFePO4 (usually used for solar) are starting to be used for backups and are much safer (I think they don’t off gas as much?). The original post was a picture of a solar battery, but an SLA (sealed lead acid, of which some are agm) one from harbor freight.

Agreed, punishment should fit the crime. We have lately been pardoning people and sending a message that you can get away with things if you know the right people or have celebrity privilege, though. So time to get back to people not getting away with things.

Yeah, this is one of those times where the punishment is more to tell others “this is what happens when you do this BS. So don’t do this.”

I have a GE profile. That has the various sized burners. The odd part is the matching microwave got rid of many touch buttons and replaced it with a knob, which actually works well, but the stove has no knobs. Stove touch buttons work fairly well though, added bonus is you can lock the controls with a lock button. When looking my favorite choices came from ge profile and bosch.

Still looks better than a cyber truck.

Yeah, I’ve seen a few of the modern home improvement shows where the first thing they do is paint bricks in the house with a thick white latex paint. That’s not an improvement. There are other ways to brighten up a place like installing lights…

Millennial here, I remember hunting for apartments and the staff of one place proudly said let me show you the upgraded unit. I went in and couldn’t hide how I much I disliked the greyscale upgrade. They were then like well we have one unit that hasn’t been upgraded. Showed me that unit and I was like “oh wow this is way better”. At that point they were super angry as if they upgraded their home the same way and I just said they had the ugliest home.

Guess it depends where. It is extremely common here amongst catholics in Texas.

So the problem is a lot of Americans/Catholics think a circumcision is something responsible adults do to their children to help them avoid potential health problems. They also erroneously believe the foreskin serves no purpose and is one of those we evolved with it, but it is useless kind of things.

They dont know the truth that it actually has a large number of nerve endings and its removal was originally pushed for to reduce the pleasure boys felt from masturbation, in the hope they would not masturbate. Because sex should only be for reproduction according to those who originally pushed for circumcision… It is like what is done to some women in muslim communities. Difference being woman have even more nerve endings in the clitoris and men can still experience some pleasure without the foreskin, but much less. This is why circumcision is often considered mutilation, except for those rare medical exceptions. Parents are unknowingly removing their childs right to sexual pleasure under the guise it is for their health.

It really needs to end as simple hygiene is all that is needed for the health reasons.

“Ignorance is bliss” People, not all but many, want religion because it teaches them all they have to do is believe and pray to a God and everything will be well. That even when things are bad, that they just need to roll with it because there is a plan that they are part of and they should not lose faith. That is all and it is simple. It also gives certain groups, genders, ethnicities power over others, which makes them feel special and entitled.

When you start to give a person with this kind of faith facts and logic that is contrary to what they have been told it angers them because it scares them. It angers them because it tells them they aren’t entitled and they cant keep on with their actions because there will be consequences. They like propaganda that says “all is well, dont listen to those scary fake facts.” This comforts them.

Those people want to stay feeling entitled, believing they are special, that their actions cause no harm, and stay in blissfull ignorance.

Science is not faith based. It is empirical and truths can be observed and proven. Yes there are hypothesis yet to be proven, but they are based on facts that suggest they may be true. Religions simply require faith with no proof what you are believing in is true.

Science will not dispell any spirtuality there is in the universe but it will eventually tear down most religions. We are very likely not the only living organisms in the universe, yet most religions depict Gods that resemble us. This is as bad as thinking the Earth is the center of the solar system, which is why it was considered blasphemous when the idea was first introduced that it was not.

I see, but I am still confused. He has no trigger finger. Is that gun just made so poorly a nub can pull the trigger? Isn’t that a safety concern?

Easily cover half of the student loan forgiveness plans that would have been in place for 1-3 decades vs a few months of expenses…

Uh, I believe the term is “underage women” not children or girls or minors. /s
