not that I have enough income for it to matter as an old retired person, but look at what California is doing:

A really good reason for there to be age limits for government - when your most likely gonna be dead before an order is enacted - UR PROLLY TO OLD !! Takes the government 20 years to build a road - think there will be sufficient amounts of charging stations and upgrades to the power grid by 2030 ??? JOE GOTTA GO !!hell we have 59 solar panels on our roof, haven't paid an electric bill in over 7 years, but they dont produce enough extra for some electric car, last thing I need to do is add a home charger for an electric vehicle so that I can go back to paying electric bills for whatever the car uses

On the Gen 1 Slingshots (2015 -- 2019) with the GM motor the exhaust came out just below the passenger seat and pointed out a little so there were some fumes possible when not moving or moving very slow. Then depending on lots of other factors you could get a little fumes in the cockpit. It's an open vechiel and when driving in the country past a 'hog' farm you can get the smell of the country in the cockpit. Or not moving and sitting in traffic on a very hot day --- little warm in the cockpit.
my exhaust on my 2016 is still factory stock and usually if I get any exhaust smell they are from other vehicles that are around me when stopped. Never had any noticeable issues from my own exhaust

Having spent over 15 years in the telecommunications industry, I've come to appreciate the reliability of old technologies like twisted pair copper. Even during power outages, they remained functional thanks to the central office switch powering the dial tone.
However, the advent of digital technology has brought about a slew of complications and reliability issues, particularly with IP-based telephony. The implementation of Least Cost Routing (LCR) has exacerbated problems with long-distance calling, necessitating a 10-digit requirement for all calls.
As a self-professed tech enthusiast who has worked in R&D for the Technology Integration team for more than 11 years, I've observed how technology has gradually and drastically transformed our world since the inception of the Internet. Unfortunately, not all changes have been for the better.
Given the current trajectory, it's clear that Blockchain is poised to become the next major disruptor, akin to the Internet. Its widespread adoption will fundamentally alter our online interactions. Furthermore, the proliferation of AI, while well-intentioned, poses its own set of challenges and risks, slowly but surely impacting our world in ways we may not fully comprehend yet.
my wife and I are the only people we know who still maintain an old school land line, We like having a number to give to business that isn't our personal cell number, and we also like having an option that stays up even if cell service goes down - - - basically we just like having options

Not arguing, but have you ever heard any older person not say that? I just remember my dad shaking his head and saying the world has gone to hell in a handbasket in the 60's... I didn't even understand then what he meant.
and he was right, but that doesnt mean we haven't fallen even further down the toilet in our own lifetimes. Humanity has been getting further and further from God everyday for a very very long time.

Some Kershaw Made in the USA goodness, Top Kershaw Link with a CPM 20cv steel blade - pretty much a Zero Tolerance 0357 at a much better price, and on the bottom the new Kershaw Bel Air, with a CPM Magnacut steel blade and a KVT bearing pivot and aluminum scales - pretty much a Benchmade Bugout on steroids.

that is one hell of a price, heck I have knives that go for that

being facetious. A woman making a speech from the kitchen. It's kinda old fashioned, pre-1960's. not 2024.
nothing wrong with pre-1960's, at least back then the country still had good moral/ family values and we were not divided by hate and the idea that a woman might want to be a house wife was not considered some degrading or bad thing to be, frankly I would bet huge numbers of young woman would love the life and futures they would have if we went back to 1960 where husbands made enough to support a family without the need of the second income - - one of the worst lies the liberals ever pushed that woman equality should be measured by job equality - pushed women into the workforce and lowered wages for men and created the need for two incomes for most families to survive
I'll say it again I thought Katie was great might have been one of the best SOTU rebutals I can recall having ever watched and I think she was very relatable for normal voting Americans

Yes - it is a big knife but I found a leather maker that built me a custom belt case for it. It goes on my belt out of the way but very handy due to its size.
yep, I dont use a sheath on a folding knife - - seems to defeat the purpose of the folding part, I prefer deep pocket carry where its less obvious that I have it. if I were going to use a sheath I think I would rather go crocodile Dundee with a fixed blade

Is she subliminally saying she is going to make someone a good wife?
hey, if thats how your mind works then so be it

Anyone else think it might have been an optics mistake for a Republican Woman to do the State of the Union rebuttal from her kitchen .....
..........

I thought it was great - made her seem less like a politician and more like one of us - - just the opposite of the life long professional politician that Biden is

My Spyderco Police has served me well for 20+ years. The thumb opening is one of the best out there
Yes, I like the Spyderco Police, actually been looking at the one they are offering with the K390 blade (I seem to be a bit addicted to collecting knives that have the newer super steel) only thing holding me back on this knife is the size, I think its a bit large for EDC with an over 4 inch blade - its a big knife

I really wish our Government would end this silly setting of the clocks forward and backward every damn year - - I keep hearing they are going to do it yet nothing ever happens and I end up having to go back to getting up in the dark once again.
you would think that something like this would be something we wouldn't be divided politically over
Come on people - pass the fucking bill - end the time changes!!!!

I would love to see a Tulsi Gabbard / Katie Britt presidential ticket - - - Two young intelligent and not bad looking women who really seem to have it together
last night looking at the people at the state of the union it was like watching a dinosaur convention
we need some fresh blood

I truly hope this person is not a resident of Colorado or is just confused. While I agree that the CSC overstepped their bounds by ruling 5 to 4 to remove him from the ballot, this guy thinks it was the "government" and proceeded to even sound like the Donald. This is a Yahoo comments quote:
"The criminals in the Colorado state government lost and trump won the state primary in a bigly huge landslide."
That bigly huge level of disinformation is alarming.
well the Supreme Court - is a part of the judicial Branch of government and as such I think it might be you that is "bigly hugely" mistaken here
What are the 3 branches of government and their purposes?
These branches are the legislative branch, which makes laws and takes the form of the United States Congress; the executive branch, which enforces the laws and consists of the president and people who report to the president; and the judicial branch, which evaluates laws and includes the Supreme Court and other courts.

How many think Biden did a couple lines of Columbian nose candy before making his speech??
being totally honest I think Biden looked much better than I expected - - - it was a pretty good campaign speech, but a pretty bad State of the Union speech - - I think its shameful that a sitting president would use an event that is supposed to unite Americans to further divide people to further his own political objectives. - - and yes I do think his doctors pumped him up with some type of stimulants prior to this event - hell he couldn't even stop running his mouth to walk in or exit after the speech. Ultimately I think it might get him a small temporary bump in the polls, but unless something drastic happens to turn the economy around people will vote with their wallets and he will be screwed
