I don’t care, I’m going to keep voting against them.

I’d bet a significant chunk of the F150’s sold every year go to fleet operators which would skew the saftey numbers.

It’s always from someone who doesn’t live in the US, too.

It’s actually later than the trucks with the 5.4 engines. This one could have had a 3.7 V6, a 3.5 turbocharged V6, or a 5.0 V8. The last year for the 5.4 was 2009.

Edit: I feel I should mention that a 12 year old truck means it’s a 2012. I don’t understand how 2012 is a dozen years ago, either.

I have a small farm and a battered 12 year old F150 XL. It moves once a week, and I commute by motorcycle. I bought the truck in 2022 and it was bizarre. It had half the miles of the next cheapest truck on the lot, and it was half the price. It’s a base model, no option truck and nobody seems to want one of those.

So I could go to a thrift store, buy a blue suit for $20, cut it up and sell the pieces on Ebay?

The divide falls between small churches that help their community, and large churches that help themselves…

The Watchmen tv show was set in Tulsa? TIL.

Jerry Pournelle’s “CoDominium” books work like this. The ships are FTL, but can only use the FTL drive at a certain point to leave a system. There isn’t a way to send messages faster than light, other than a ship. There is mention of “message sloops” which are small ships with high acceleration wich can move from the jump point to the inner system faster than one of the battleships.

“If you don’t let Donald Trump do whatever he wants, we’re gonna start a civil war!” 😭😭😭

Stop simping for the rich. They don’t love you.

I don’t know about other cities, but locally we have a very nice and well paved city-spanning network of bicycle paths that are parallel to, but separate from, the city streets. And we have a group of guys on their $10k bikes who ignore these paths to ride three across in a lane during rush hour on roads that will beat their wheels square, ignoring all red lights and stop signs. They make it hard for me to ride, because I get associated with these people by virtue of riding a bike.

People don’t hate cyclists. They hate those cyclists.

This is of course excluding those who hate everything which isn’t horrible for the planet. They hate bikes, electric cars, smaller cars that don’t burn much gas, vegetables, and any woman with a spine.

Something something if no argument, then pound the table.

I have a Samurai of Theseus.

But, My wife drives a 2017 Mirage G4 with a 5 speed, and we are going to keep that thing alive however we can. And it’s fairly easy, because the Mirage is very simple and is made to be easy to repair.

Not a car, but you can buy a new Suzuki DR650 that has a carburetor. At least in 2023.

Remember, remember, the 5th of November.

Because it’s election day in 2024. Plan to take the day off, plan to spend the day voting. It’s difficult now, but going to work or staying home will not make voting easier.

Let’s not also forget if Trump was in charge then this situation would’ve been handled a lot less gracefully. Or even spiral out of control.

He’d be screaming on Twitter about how they won’t let him use nukes.

I bought a Brother LH-23200 monochrome laser printer in 2016. The only times it has failed to print it’s either been out of paper or the toner ran out. The toner lasts forever. And a box of four toner cartridges costs $26. It’s the Toyota Hilux of printers.

I bought a Brother LH-23200 monochrome laser printer in 2016. I bought four toner cartridges for $30 when the first one ran out a few months ago. The only time it has failed to print is when my daughter stole the last sheets of paper from the tray to make drawings.

“Me and my cohorts” you seem to know who I am. Why dont you tell me about myself, and I can explain a “false dichotomy” to you.
