Same thing caused the I-35W Mississippi River bridge collapse* in Minneapolis. Take cues from the Norwegians and Swedes; crushed rock for traction, spiked tires for traction and no chemical salt to fuck up your land and waterways.

Snow was here before humans and will continue long after we exterminate ourselves from the planet. Learn to live with it and stop fighting nature.

Edit: a word*

Stuck between a rock and a hard place. It sucks.

I’m tired of the 2 party system. I don’t think I really have a party or political ideology that aligns with Democrats or Republicans and third party candidates are all over the place. I want to start voting on issues and not just politicians.

I don’t care what my politician’s feelings are. They represent a constituency and the only things they should be speaking about and for are exactly what they’re being asked for. Instead we have this political machine that takes every issues and gives it a red spin and a blue spin and then it’s force fed to the people.

Congress should not be creating our ideologies they should create the laws that structure the things the citizens want.

The Supreme Courr overturned Roe v Wade, put it on the ballet and let the people decide.

Gun control, put it on the ballet

Universal health care, put it on the ballet

Abandoning fossil fuels, put it on the ballet

Stop forcing your political and personal ideologies on us and start listing to the people. If we vote “Yes” on universal health care, the politicians must then go and figure out how to make it happen.

Let it truly be a government of the people, by the people, for the people.

That part is confusing AF. Like, he’s lost his right to chose government officials but still has the right to become one? What the actual fuck?!

How the fuck is anyone associated with Jan 6th not banned from holding any government job?

He was convicted and along with jail sentences, bans from all government institutions should have been included.

…same goes for the shitty orange man once he’s convicted.

Edit: a word

5 Star General, former President, Dwight D. Eisenhower had this to say about the Military Industrial complex. It rings true today as much as it did in 1961

Why is this movie great? It’s accurate AF, that’s why!

What’s the stupidest pair of footwear you can imagine? Probably, maybe Crocs?? If that was your answer, it was also the costume designer and Mike Judge’s thought too…which is why everyone in the future wears them.

…now to address the “why is it great”

Walk outside and tell me more than half the people you meet aren’t fucking retards. Then look down and you will see at least half of those idiots are wearing Crocs. Mike Judge=Nostradamus? 🤔 Maybe

So, I’m the moderator of !ClassicRock…how do you want me to start the list? Chronologically, quantity, severity??

My wife thought this was our cat and when I said it was a post she tried to show me where in our house I took it.

So I guess what I’m saying is yes, my cat does this

Throw in health care coverage and I’m onboard!

Liquor and Whores

Also from small government—> here’s another law to do X

Stop making more oversight laws and claim to be pro small government. Pro small government people should see a “freedom of information act” as an opportunity to declassify information. “Big government doesn’t want you to know about … but here it is, with minimal details redacted”

[Nigel is playing a soft piece on the piano]

Marty DiBergi: It’s very pretty.

Nigel Tufnel: Yeah, I’ve been fooling around with it for a few months.

Marty DiBergi: It’s a bit of a departure from what you normally play.

Nigel Tufnel: It’s part of a trilogy, a musical trilogy I’m working on in D minor which is the saddest of all keys, I find. People weep instantly when they hear it, and I don’t know why.

Marty DiBergi: It’s very nice.

Nigel Tufnel: You know, just simple lines intertwining, you know, very much like - I’m really influenced by Mozart and Bach, and it’s sort of in between those, really. It’s like a Mach piece, really. It’s sort of…

Marty DiBergi: What do you call this?

Nigel Tufnel: Well, this piece is called “Lick My Love Pump”.

Something like this? How to measure like a Brit

How to measure like a Canadian

Super Mario Bros. A game that’s nearly as old as I am, that fully stands the test of time. From the very beginning of my gaming days, this and Duck Hunt got me into it. Dig Dug 2 was the first game I ever got angry enough to flip the tv the bird. Sonic and Tails probably was the second major influence on my life, from a video game perspective. After that I was a gamer and will never turn away from the cathode-ray light!

So the way he explained it to me was that essentially when the company was purchased all your accruals were reset and the pension was tied to years of service, which he hadn’t reached yet, then with the merger you were essentially a new employee. There was also a lot tied to retirement plans linked to corporate stocks that were basically useless after they merged. Either way, beyond working for the same company forever, his eggs were (mostly) in one basket.

My uncle spent years preaching to me about the need to be loyal to a company. I never drank the Kool-Aid. He spent 21 years working for an investment banking company in their IT department. 4 years before he was set to retire with a full pension, etc. his company was acquired by a larger bank. He lost everything except his 401k. He then spent the next 12 years working to get his time back so he’d be able to retire. He died 2 years ago and the company sent a bouquet of flowers.

THE COMPANY DOESN’T CARE ABOUT YOU!!

Are you fucking high?!? 38° is a hot summer day in Europe. Thats 100.4° F. When I lived there I hated life. Mosquitoes outside my window without a screen, so a breeze was out of the question. No A/C inside so breathing was also out of the question. I eventually found reprieve in the form of a 5” fan sold to me by an old man.

Point is, celsius or fahrenheit, its fucking hot

I am American. I just think we’ve got a fucked up political system and can learn a lot from around the globe. I also support Ranked-choice voting and doing away with the two party system in favor of multiple parties (since there’s a lot of gray areas and less black or white). Once formed the parties can align forming coalitions to determine leadership of the upper and lower houses. While I’m at it, let’s add term limits and age limits to ALL 3 government branches (that’s right SCOTUS, I’m looking at you)

Finally, I’d also love to see Question Time added to the US structure.

This should be grounds to dismiss the senate and call new elections
