If Chicago wanted to make those Texas soldiers feel at home, they'd wait for a blizzard, then turn off all the power and go to Cancun for the weekend.

Why do I keep repairing my 05 Passat?

Because it's comfortable, gets good enough mileage, and has excellent a/c as a back up car.

Oh and look - right on cue my son's Highlander is getting towed to the shop.

Lol, 23&Me and Ancestry both seem to have dropped new Ethnicity calculations.

Which makes me happy since I'm a Heinz hound and am my own identity.

Roomba ran through the poop and sketched skidmark in the upstairs hall.

The UAE obtained access to advanced AI chips after it purchased $2 billion of Trump's cryptocurrency—alarming security experts. When I tried to explain this to a Missouri focus group, I was greeted with blank stares. Finally, after a long silence, one member asked if anyone involved was trans.

50.000 movies about Nazis and here we are having to remind people that masked goons kidnapping non-anglo looking people off the street should be shamed and exiled...and that's after 2 years of reminding people that genocide should be a red line not to be crossed.

Complete failure.

Yeah. Not wild about spending money on cars, but if she does the leg work I'm happy to step in.

Wife's masseuse had car trouble and cancelled,so I suggested she take my slot with my guy. True to form she emerged transformed, citing all the things he was able to fix that hers couldn't.

Me: I am so glad.

Also me: But he goes back to me next time..

Telling the truth about red states will get you roundly condemned but spreading lies about blue cities is just standard operating procedure for Republicans.

It’s especially weird because most red states are living off tax money from blue cities.

I had the privilege of being poor growing up - which meant I got all manner of financial assistance to get my degree that my kids would never qualify for. So I feel obligated to do as much as I can to assist.

Porco Afterdark @pmpafterdark.bsky.social · 10d

It felt like the right thing to do. Basically thinking a lot about articles I've read about helping your kids NOW when it means something instead of when you die and they're hopefully already established.

I didn't have enough liquidity so I had to use my equity line to pay. But since I was paying for it I decided to just put it in my name and on my insurance.
She's graduating in a little over a year and honestly, I'd prefer her to have ready cash instead of sinking it into a car.
