  • Something less serious - is today's NFL safe to watch?

    My struggling brain | 7/26/2024 | Me
    I have not watched an NFL game for 7+ years. I started to try to watch it but still there was too much woke crap. I do play NFL Pro Era on my Quest headset and I love. Understand: before kaperdink I LOVED the NFL. I am one of those guys who digs deep into strategy and tactics and know the difference between the two. I hear the NFL as cleaned up its act and is not allowing any of the nonsense they used to do but I have no way of knowing. One last note - pre kaperdink I...

    Many people have Thansgiving traditions. One of our neighbors has the Thanksgiving tradition of getting drunk and running over our mailbox. Last summer, I cemented in our mailbox and used heavy pipe. Cut his car in half this Thanksgiving like Grandpa using the electric knife on the turkey. When the cops pulled him out of the left half of the car, he was yelling at them that he'd never win the race with a pit crew as slow as them. One of our family traditions is that I do the Thanksgiving grocery shopping. I feel it's part of the manly...

  • Thursday Afternoon Power Steering Pump Question

    Me | 7/25/2024 | Paul R.
    Well, I'm just full of questions this week! This one should be pretty easy: Are there any brands of automotive aftermarket power steering pumps that FReepers have had good luck with? "Good luck" in this case means proper operation and no leaks for over 50k miles, preferably over 100k miles. Slight difficulties in installation, I can overcome, as I do most minor repair work on my cars myself. And I've studied vids and forums when it comes to instructions on bleeding the steering system hydraulics, things to watch out for during installation, and so on.

    Facebook initiall, the web after the fact to find the quote again | 1951 | Hannah Arendt
    If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer. This is because lies, by their very nature, have to be changed, and a lying government has constantly to rewrite its own history. On the receiving end you get not only one lie — a lie which you could go on for the rest of your days — but you get a great number of lies, depending on how the political wind blows. And a people that no longer can believe anything cannot make up its mind....

    Kamala Harris will be named the next President. Biden will either resign or succumb to illness. The 25th amendment will not be invoked. Making Kamala Harris President will make her the incumbent going into the election and add gravitas to her name. They will fawn over her being the first black woman President and the first Indian President. They will point out her extreme bravery under extreme circumstances. And then Trump will kick her a$$ on election day and win the Presidency.

    Donald Trump appears to have figured out that the next step in AI has to be treated as what it is, i.e. a 2024 version of the Manhatten Project.As I read it, we have Bill Gates and Sam Altman out there in the world trying to round up something like 9 TRILLION dollars for the next version of OpenAI..... I do not believe that is merely to produce an AI system that is sentient; I believe that OpenAI 4 whichis out there now is sufficiiiently sentient for any normal or reasonable purpose. I believe they are looking at recreating a...

    Holy Sh*t. According to Charlie Kirk and his sources, when Biden was in Vegas last week - he suffered a medical emergency. USSS personnel informed LV Metro to shut down roads to move POTUS to University Medical Hospital. Then there was a stand down order mysteriously given to local PD, and that they were going to “medivac” POTUS across the country to John Hopkins in Baltimore. WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THIS COUNTRY!?

    He just said something courageous for a GOP elected official during his rally in Ohio. He straight up said that he was wrong in 2003 about Iraq and that it ended up costing thousands of lives and trillions of dollars. I admire him even more now! If you're worried about JD or this lie he's Establishment then you don't need to be concerned after hearing that. This is not the party of Bush any more. It's very clear to me.

    I just happened to run across this mess online. I was appalled to see SO MANY PEOPLE espousing the libtard cause, even though it has led to an economic downturn, a huge budget problem, all the problems associated with illegals, and the problems associated with the Biden crime family. Who are these people? Where do they get their funding? And how could they possibly be so stupid?

  • Why should the Democrats or anyone else have a candidate on the ballot who hasn't qualified? (a musing from my own gray matter)

    Candidates for President, and any other elected office, should have to face the same qualifications to be on the ballot. Party affiliation should have nothing to do with ballot access. Let me put it this way: Donald Trump, Robert Kennedy Jr., and a few other candidates have made it onto the ballots in their respective states. Harris has not done this for President. She should not be automatically considered for the post unless she has jumped through the same hoops as the other candidates have had to pass. If this means that the Democrats can't field a candidate this election,...

    We just bought a new used car for my wife off of craigslist. Now I am selling her old car on craigslist. Within minutes of posting the ad I got a response. The people were "very interested" but wanted a report on the car from some website. I paid $22.95 for the report and sent it to them. Never heard from them again. Today I got another guy who was "very interested" in the car, but wanted me to get a report from some website for $27. Fool me once, your fault. Fool me twice, my fault.

    I spoke with my wife's aunt today who is visiting us in Texas from Washington State. For the record, she is a kind, understanding and great aunt to my family but when the topic flipped to the Biden resignation, a few things came out about the Left Wing mind. The immediate things that were said were: Trump cut taxes for the rich Citizens United case was the first time crony capitalism came into existence She wants Kamala because she really, really wants a female President. She likes Kamala OK, no qualms about her ability Trump had a sharp shooter to...
  • Battleground states: Kamala has no path to 270

    All polls, no cherry-picking, from Real Clear Politics | Dangus
    In this map, red does NOT mean more Republican than pink, and pink does NOT mean more Republican than gray. Red represents a state that has not been considered a battleground state. Pink represents a state that had been considered a battleground, but polls show Harris uncompetitive, less so than Biden. Gray represents states without Trump vs Harris polling available. The point is that there is no path to 270 without a huge swing towards the Democrats, far larger than Trump's national lead. There are a dearth of Trump-against-Harris polls in every state, but the key point is that Harris...

    As the titans of corruption now fight to the death to see who will be the titular head of the Democrat Party, and the mini-head (VP) of the Party, the question is now open as to what Dr. Jill and Mr. Potato Head got as their parting gifts. Mr. Potato Head gets a seat at the negotiating table regarding his successor and the ensuing race. (Think Obama crime family v. the Clinton crime family.) I think it has been pledged and mapped out that the corrupt MSM will lionize the great Joe Biden and all his phantom accomplishments. He will...
