10 firearms? The SCOTUS pick would love that.

We own more.

In any event, Parscale hasn't been Trump's "main man" since he was played by a bunch
of teenagers last June and allowed Trump to humiliate himself by announcing there
would be tens of thousands at his campaign rally where a few paltry hundred showed
up. Now Trump "barely knows the man".

LOL I recently got an email from the Trump campaign (junk mail!)
inviting me to reserve my seat at one of his campaign rallies. I
immediately thought about the incident you referred to. The teens of
America should keep pulling that stunt. :)

Trump's Tulsa rally was said to be torpedoed by K-pop fans and TikTokers. Beats me if that actually true. Trump believes it's true which is probably the reason he wants to torpedo, ban, and force a sale, of the TikTok social platform i.e., Trump's revenge. I did not know presidents could do stuff like that. Evidently, a president can do practically anything he wants - we just never knew about it.

does he get such power?

A president who wants to slow down the national mail service because
he thinks that increases his chances of re-election. You'd expect that
in Mozambique or Belarus or some banana republic. No ladies and

It's a double front: Trump wants to torpedo the USPS and the American elections. The postmaster general wants to torpedo the USPS so he can make a few bucks. Is this any way to run a county? As we all know, anything is possible in Trumpland!

it is true that the K pop fans pranked Trump. I remember seeing the posts encouraging them to do so. K Pop fans refer to themselves as Stans (stalker plus fan)

the tik tok deal is still in play because they are arguing about algorithm ownership

there was a time when republicans stood for not picking winners and losers in the market

also Trump found out there is no way to get money out of the deal into the Treasury other than ordinary taxes. So he has generally lost interest because it is no longer conquering hero legend he wanted to flaunt

it is amazing how much havoc he creates in the market

I agree about the Dejoy scandal. Several courts have already weighed in to stop his obscene plans. That alone ought to disqualify him from any peace prize

I have seen those TikTok posts - those kids are kind of snots. Hee hee. The social platforms, which allow the rapid mobilization of users must be frightening to those old farts in Washington. It is a most powerful tool of the modern political age.

My friend's ex-girlfriend was a stan. She was stalking a boy in Korean boy band and would make trips to Korea frequently. That must have been pretty disturbing for the boys in the band - a crazy old German lady following their every move.

As it goes, Wall Street is fearful of Trump losing the election which probably means that Trump needs to lose the election. Trump doesn't just empower/embolden poor white folks and white supremies, he also empower/emboldens the white collars types too.

LOL...ain't that the truth...

People are fleeing from CA, NY, IL and other blue states like rats from a sinking ship...

As for Newsom's drive to ban IC vehicles after 2035, WHERE is the electricity for all of these vehicles going to come from...CA is already instituting rolling blackouts for millions of people...

BTW, the current "record - breaking" CA fires are dwarfed by the forest fires of the first half of the 20th century...was "global warming" a factor in those fires, as is claimed with these current conflagrations...???

Poor California, once the "Golden State", is now turning into a Turd World shitehole -- nation's highest poverty rate, extreme class/income stratification, streets impassable because of urine/feces/drug paraphernalia...corrupt politicians (Pelosi, Waters...), and general crime and lawlessness aided and abetted by neo - marxist politicians and their hare - brained policies...

Add in crumbling infrastructure, billion dollar "trains to nowhere" and other boondoggles, crappy schools (once CA led the nation in public education)...huge homeless populations, many illegals...

HEY, ya don't need to go to Nigeria or some other craphole place to view national dysfunction, we've got that now in Kalifornia...it is turning into a feudal society right before our very eyes...!!!

But that's what ya get when ya vote for democrats these days...

I saw 20 minutes of the debate today. That was all I could handle.
Trump was rude and childish, your typical back alley bully. Biden was
no charismatic speaker or anything, but ok compared to Trump. The
moderator was weak.

[dsi1]

That fact seems to escape the Trump minions. They've been hypnotized to believe that all the bad things happening in the country is Obama's fault. It's a very strange disconnect from reality. They're in a trance-like state and proclaim Trump has done more for this country than any other president including Lincoln. They are aware that this country has gone to shit but they are unable to put two and two together. That's that way it is for people who are hypnotized.

Both interrupted the other but yes, Trump was worse with that.

Can't much blame him though. He had issues and dealt with them.
Biden has seen the results so now he has a better way. He
had the advantage of hindsight. It's always 20-20.

A simple solution for future debates is yes, when one person
is given 2 minutes to respond, turn off the other's microphone.

That wasn't a debate, it was a free for all.
The moderator had no control... he needed a kill switch to cut off

Up to the point where I got fed up with Trumps bullshit and turned it
off, I thought that it was Trump who was by far the worst. Biden likely
go pissed off and frustrated. He should have just done a mime act of

I'm not that interested. My wife wanted to see it. After 20 minutes,

Ahahahahahahahah.

You're not interested? Hell Gruce, youve been more interested in
drumpf than anything else, except, of course, your constant butt
sniffing in RFC.

[dsi1]

I listened a little. There's not much point in having another unless there's a way to keep the dogs from getting out.

Mostly, I was interested in how to change the oil in a Toyota. Toyota vehicles use a replaceable paper oil filter element and servicing gets pretty involved. The good news is that not using a metal can which ends up in a landfill is a sound ecological move.

Most don't. Venza yes. Drained out on the ground? Oil is not a sound
ecological move. Less sound than a metal filter.

[Bryan Simmons]

Use really, really good oil. That way you don't have to change it often. Mobil 1 Extended Performance
is good for 20K miles, especially if you change your filter (and top it back up) once or twice during that
period. My son drives a Hyundai Sonata hybrid, and my name is also on the loan/title. He makes the
payments on the 60 month loan, and when he buys another car, I'm just going to assume the payments,
so I'm paying for all the maintenance, since it will be my car. The engine malfunctioned at less than 70K,
so Hyundai put a brand new engine in, and he only had to pay 20% of the replacement cost, as it was
less than 20K out of warranty. Thanks, Hyundai.

Mr. Kuthe has an all electric car, which is great for around town, but when we retire we're planning on
kicking around the country, and the Sonata will be perfect for that, especially since we plan to drive back
roads whenever practical. I don't know how old you are, dsi1, but the mainland USA has so much neat
stuff if you're retired (covered by Medicare) and can just amble about and follow the nice weather.

And there I was expecting you to mention high oleic sunflower oil.

[Bryan Simmons]

High oleic sunflower oil is pretty standard in the EU. The USA has been slow to adopt it, but the subject was
engine oil. If you operate a motor vehicle, IMO, you are best off using the highest quality motor oil. Cheap
oil is pennywise. If you do the math, extending engine performance and life by spending more on ultra
premium oil makes perfect sense. Spending more on oil filters that filter smaller contaminants makes sense.
Buying high quality gasoline makes sense. Replacing engines is expensive.

--Bryan

[dsi1]

Beats me if most Toyotas don't have this type of replaceable elements. Some car will have this. My Hyundai V6 had a replaceable filter element. It was pretty easy to change the element. Changing the Toyota can be messy. Draining the oil onto the ground? Nobody does that anymore. Back in the old days, I used to dispose of my car oil in a shallow dirt pit. That was kind of dumb.

[dsi1]

The thing about electric cars is that there is no oil changing. Well, that's my understanding anyway. How are electric motors to run without periodic lubrication? I do not know.

As far as the mainland goes, I have lived in the SF bay area and in Washington state. San Francisco and Seattle are wonderful and great cities. I don't particularly want to visit other parts of the mainland - well, except NYC, of course. I'll probably be taking a trip to Las Vegas to collect a car soon.

Do you own any electric motors? A refrigerator? Do they need lubrication?

I've been to NYC and I've lived a few miles from
Washington DC. I live a few miles from Norfolk,Va now.
There's *nothing* great about any cities, imo.
All just overcrowded cans of people instead of sardines.

I can see all the city places on television documentaries.
I wouldn't waste time or money to visit one.
I prefer natural wilderness places with the cool geology.

The US mainland has many amazing National Parks.
Your own state has so much beauty and geology. Just
have to get away from the crowds.

In my opinion, Honolulu (for example) is such a shame
how that is now. Just imagine how it looked 300+ years
ago before people ruined it.

Heard of a case recently where a despondent man wanted to end it all.
Pulled his car in the garage, started it, turned on some music and
waited for the end to come.
Two days later a neighbor found him. He was still alive but the battery
on his Tesla was dead.

It was the police that found him and helped him out. Riots ensued.

Using C0 is a pretty good way to off yourself. You just drift off to sleep. The electric car is going to change all that. Now people will have to use the honorable Asian method - a hibachi in a small room. As an added bonus, "Hibachi of Doom" might be a pretty good alt punk band name.

There that presents to benefit ofbeing able to cook one nice last meal

[Dave Smith]

That's unfortunate for people like me who have lived the quite live with
a small town nearby and cities almost too close for comfort. The Toronto
area baby boomers are retiring, selling their homes in the city for
$1-2million and buying down here, driving up our housing prices and
turning a rural area into urban sprawl.

My wife went to a private school in Toronto and we used to go to reunion
parties held by her classmates. One of them asked her if she missed the
restaurants, galleries, museums and theatre. I subtly asked them about
their downtown travels. We used to scoot into the city 2-3 times a
month, see her parents, drop the car there and hop on the subway to go
downtown. As it turned out, we were downtown and did all those city
things a lot more frequently than they did. It was an hour and a
quarter drive to the city. Most of them had to drive 45 minutes or more
in the ridiculous city traffic.

[dsi1]

That's not surprising. A lot of people hate metal. A lot of people hate rap, country, evangelical pop, punk, pop, easy listening jazz, etc. In fact, I think that most people hate most music.

It was a traumatic experience for the nation. Back in the old days, someone would have to be killed to inflict so much horror in Americans. These days, Trump was able to pull it off in a debate. Amazing!

Trump also excited, energized, and validated, the Proud Boys hate group. His saying that they stand back and get ready cannot be a good sign for the Republic. Those are serious and treasonous words.

Actually, he denied their existence as an organization. Mostly, "antifa" is an ideology i.e., a notion about how things ought to be.

I self-identify as Antifa. I am a White, "middle class" person who is male and hetero.
I only call myself middle *class* because I own a rental property, but I am mostly a
middle income, working class person. I don't buy into all of the intersectionalist
ideology that seems like an alternative orthodoxy, but I am decidedly anti-fascist.

So are the people that are Anti-Antifa. Antifa people are 2%
antifascist, 98% the rest.

When do you guys hold your meetings - oops, did I say too much?

I don't have any problem with people being anti-fascists. Of course, the bigger the fascist, the bigger the push-back. Stand back and get ready people!

Who would have guessed that that one day, some Americans would support fascism and white supremacists? Truly, these are the end of days.

I assume you're talking charcoal grill. Gas grills don't require cleaning afterward,
although if there's something burned onto the grates (like gochujang) it's
nice to run it on preheat for a while to burn the gunk off.

You just wanted to say gochujang.

In that case, when you start your travels, I highly recommend
an extended trip to Washington DC. All of the Smithsonian
museums, National Art Gallery and all of the monuments and
govt. buildings too. All very impressive.
There are so many interesting places to visit in one city.
Try to plan that for spring or fall as summers can be
very brutal with heat, humidity and air pollution.

I was lucky growing up there (in the suburbs). All of our
school field trips were to so many places there.

Before you leave SL, have you ever done the
Gateway Arch tour? That sounds fun to do.

Maybe another small city to consider - Newport, RI.
There, you can see the church where JFK got married.
Even more interesting is to see all the summer "cottages"
of the super rich from 100 years ago.

The most impressive one is the "Breakers."
"The Breakers is the grandest of Newport's summer "cottages"
and a symbol of the Vanderbilt family's social and financial
preeminence in turn of the century."

It's a friggin castle! And that was their summer "cottage?"
Do an image search for "Newport Breakers" and be amazed.

I saw it most days for 14 months. I lived only 1/2 mile away
and almost right out in front was my favorite surfing spot.
I never took the inside tour. Wish I had now.

[Gary]

Add me! I never cleaned my charcoal grill. Once done with
cooking, the grill still cooks off any leftover mess.
Biggest mess was from chicken with bbq sauce.

Next time, the new fire and heat burns the grill again.
Kills all the cooties.

As with many presidential elections, so many don't vote
for a candidate, they vote against the other one.

The lesser of two evils.

I had to look that up. I would have said bbq chicken.

Once in a while you have to clean out the ashes, though.

I use gochujang 10 or 20 times more often than regular barbecue sauce.

A wonderful city to explore is Winnipeg, Canada... most can be seen on
a walking tour. There's fabulous shopping and fantastic eateries,
especially in Chinatown. There are also tours by real double decker
buses, and dinner tours of the River Rouge by paddlewheeler. Don't
miss the Winnipeg zoo and botanic garden. The Museum of Man is a
must-see as is the Planetarium. Visit the splendid Fort Garry Hotel,
has a grand bar and dining room:

I was referring to the grate that you cook on, not the
ashes in the bottom. :)
