States are wasting money, but nowhere near trillions.
Actually, Louisiana was awarded $3.55 Billion in 2023. Not sure how much they actually spent, though. Mississippi was awarded nearly that much as well.

The first news story I remember was the first moon landing. I distinctly remember Niel Armstrong’s first moonwalk.
re: JFK assassinated. How many remember the when/where/how they heard it?

That was a couple of years before my time!

re: Do you still use a road atlas?
Posted by Spankum on 11/10/25 at 1:34 pm to SaintlyTiger88
I haven’t used a road atlas in many years. However, I still keep one in my truck for emergencies. Sometimes, GPS just goes to shite for no reason, and I wouldn’t want to depend on it in an emergency.
That reminds me….I should probably try to find an updated version.

change all of the hoses on my under sink system every 3 years. Hopefully that minimizes my chances, also it has the shutoff valve that if it detects a leak it cuts water to the system.
That’s a good precaution however, all of mine leaked on the body of the filter housing. Two of them were PVC and one of them was some type of clear plastic. All were very thick/heavy and all formed hairline cracks around where the inlet and outlet hoses connected to the housing.
re: What’s the opinion of Ram trucks?
Posted by Spankum on 11/9/25 at 12:16 pm to LoveThatMoney
I keep tabs on the fleet at work. We only buy domestic trucks and only keep them until they get about 150,000 miles on them. My experience with the Rams is that they have slightly more convenience-type features than Ford or Chevy. They also have more safety recalls.
Take all of that for what it is worth.

Agreed….thats why I asked. I used to see them all over my area. I sometimes saw 5 -10 per day. I saw one this morning for the first time in a month and that started me wondering where they all went.

This is just basic stuff for customer facing employees. Why wouldn’t a business do this?
Agreed…and why should a company have to tell its employees thst this needs to be done?
I have owned 3 water filters in my life and every one of them ended up leaking and fricking up a bunch of shite in my house. It might take a long time, but anything made of plastic that contains pressure will end up leaking. It is just a matter of time.

Single men over thirty should be taxed extra
They already are taxed extra. They typically earn a good salary and have to claim single and no dependents on their taxes.
Additionally, they pay school taxes like everyone else, but will never have any kids to attend schools that they pay for.

Are you sure about that?
Mine does….the wells are about a mile away from my house.
What happened to all of the cyber trucks?
Posted by Spankum on 11/9/25 at 9:59 am
I used to see quite a number of Tesla cyber trucks in my area. now, I see almost none.
If I remember right, they were very expensive vehicles. Where did they all go?

re: Cop jumps on the back of a bull after responding to disturbance

That Karen apparently forgot to mention that the Walmart parking lot was also a tractor supply store parking lot…big difference!
ETA: And he didn’t “jump” on the bull’s back…he climbed into the saddle for a picture.

Why is it socially acceptable to be “terrible with names”
I think this will only become more and more prevalent with electronic communication. When you communicate electronically, you always have the name on your phone, so there is no incentive to remember.

I really don’t know why she would do this…basically conceding defeat. :dunno:
I have seen no birds in two weeks. It is supposed to freeze here next week, so I took my last feeder down today. I’ll pick back up in the spring of next year.
