Peace on earth, peace for mankind

I took this pic of Hoover Dam in March. The white stained rock indicates the highest water level. The last time the water level was high enough to open the spillway tunnels was in 1983.

Just turned 47. Divorced 15 years. Still single. I often feel the same way. Buying a house now in this market is insanity. Hopefully, real estate should crash again at some point.

All of this.

Maybe try workaway? Or a non-profit? See the world. With nursing skills, you are super, super valuable. Thank you! You are amazing.

My brother’s pit bull would only watch Little House on the Prairie, and complain if you changed it.

I hear you. But “an eye for an eye” is very Old Testament, isn’t it? Where does the killing stop?

I should find me a station wagon and a hot mom.

Was there a real hunt for Red October? These movies always seem to start from some piece of history.

I listen to my kids and understand their struggles. I feel like that wasn’t a thing when I was raised. That may be considered “woke” now.

I’m sorry you had that experience. I work with former dealer technicians and they are good at fixing cars. Decent people all around. The service writers are often to blame. But with all that money on the line there is plenty of blame to go around. Fuck cars.

Oh snap. No good at all. I believe the Aura and Astra were rebadged Opals. I was considering an Aura. I was going to replace the badges lol.

It is currently exporting lots of nice, smart people though.

I had an Ion, 5speed manual, no power windows and I loved it. The only thing that broke on it in 6 years/90k miles, was the driver door latch.

“Chevron is applying for a tax abatement for the project under Texas’ Jobs, Energy, Technology, and Innovation (JETI) Act.”

Ha. Texas has nerds too.

Voting every election I knew about where I lived since 2000 (Nader for president!) Always Green party except for Obama in 2008 (we need reparations, but that was closest thing). Voted Kamala, because it was what it was. I was really excited about Andrew Yang, because UBI is brilliant. Now… I’m learning español. 🙁

Define painful. There’s nothing stopping us from starting co-ops for nearly everything. But the will has to be there. Too many people are happy with what they have. Violence only breeds more violence. Full stop. All it takes is a viral moment.

I watched some videos later which reinforced what I had learned the hard way; the B screw setting is critical for SRAM. There’s a template, even. I don’t think the B screw setting matters much to my old 7 and 8sp Shimano derailleurs.
