If they can pass a law now to give guaranteed vacation in an amount that the vast majority already have, they can more easily increase that amount, and/or give more to certain types of workers in the future. That’s how they operate. Acquiesce to the principle now so they can abuse it in the future.
Google says 2,500 died under Obama/Biden. Seems like we’re a couple orders of magnitude under the Nobel peace prize winner.

I worked at Subway almost 30 years ago and I remember it looking like this with the yellow seats and all. The bread came in frozen pieces that were thawed overnight, stretched to 12" in the morning, and then proofed (risen) and cooked throughout the day so the place would constantly smell like baking bread. This was even before they started sprinkling herbs and such on the bread and it was only white or wheat. Good memories, I ate well during that time. :lol:
That dude has way too much time on his hands.

I had this same question a few years ago and looked it up. In a nutshell, the motor on the low setting doesn't give enough juice to cleanly overcome inertia and get the fan going, but it does have enough juice to keep it going once moving. So, the fan needs to start at a higher setting to get going at anything resembling a decent pace.


And, yet, a ceiling fan set on low with a wall on/off switch still comes on at the low setting without a problem. Are we just stuck with switches designed for problems that were solved decades ago?

It seems lost on so many people that it’s not “how they’re raised”. Any one of them, no matter how they are raised, can snap without warning. “Raising them right” will never guarantee they won’t snap. The owner has every right to take that risk on themselves, but how many innocents have we lost because the dog isn’t restrained from attacking others?

I got the app, went back a week later, then mobile thru was a mile long and human ordering was short.


Order through the app and then take whichever line is shorter. If human, tell them you have a mobile order and they’ll confirm and send you on.

Second Moccamaster. You can also wait for sales on it. The glass-lined thermal carafe will keep it hot for hours without burning with the cap on it. Great coffee.
Can anyone identify as needing more space? The article doesn’t mention an objective measure by which it can be determined whether someone actually needs one additional space.
David told us what we’re looking at.

How was the red suit guy able to walk off after being shot 3x in point blank range.


Unless the bullet hits the nervous system to instantly incapacitate, it usually takes a few seconds or longer before blood loss begins to affect them. They can still pull a trigger during those few seconds and possibly for even longer after they’ve fallen to the ground. He was still a threat and when he turned around in the parking lot, that was the next justification for more shots.
We had it with Progressive. The threshold they use for rate of deceleration is less than how fast you would need to slow down to avoid running a red light from 55-65mph. So whenever you slam on brakes to avoid someone who pulls out in front of you or a last second yellow light, you’ll be penalized. Don’t recommend.

In the modern day, there is almost no good reason to own a gun.

2 reasons:

1. You’re trashy and live in trashy area.
2. You’re hunting wildlife which is also a bit trashy.


3. The trashy people occasionally leave their trashy areas to threaten harm and theft against others.

4. Governments occasionally oppress their citizens and need to be put in their place.

Added a couple reasons to your list.

Undoubtedly the fault of the driver of the big truck hauling the mobile home, probably swerving in and out of lanes between all of the passenger vehicles.
It makes more sense if you understand that there is a “catholic” (universal) church made up of believers in Christ all over the world. This catholic/universal church is not to be confused with the Roman Catholic Church which self-proclaims itself to be the “Church” started by Jesus. Jesus didn’t come to start a religion, he came to make a relationship with God possible by paying the penalty for our sin and offering forgiveness to be received by faith.

I feel out of the loop - how is a blockade devastating for Iran?
Is the idea that Iran cant collect tolls?


Iran thought they could stop all traffic except those that are friendly to them. Trump said nope, if US and friendly interests don't get through, no one gets through. Now we see who hurts the most the fastest and talks or beats some sense into Iran.
Yet when the accident happens, we’ll only hear “how can an 18 wheeler not drive straight down this straight interstate?”

Of course they won’t help blockade. They are one of the customers whose oil is being blockaded.


Sounds like they can add their tankers to the line headed to the Gulf of America.

re: Tow vehicle for 5th wheel

You still have reading issues. Several posts on several pages saying 5th wheel = 1 ton dually.


Perhaps I do. Maybe they should have said 1 ton dually = best option for 5th wheel. Seems like a lot of vitriol for the giving of opinions.

Any insight into why anyone would buy a 3/4 ton just to upgrade it to 1 ton parts/capability instead of getting the 1 ton at the outset? You, for example, why get the 2500 with max trailering instead of the 3500? Assuming you weighed the two options, what benefit did going with the 2500 bring you?

I literally told the OP that based on the weight of his trailer he would need at least a 1 ton.

You and the merry band of idiots came in here saying all sorts of nonsense about how 3/4 ton trucks can't tow fifth wheels.

I don't believe you know wtf you're talking about, my point all along was stop making blanket statements that 3/4 tons can't tow fifth wheels. They can, they are more than capable in certain scenarios. Also, airbags improve ride quality when towing regardless of 1 ton or 3/4 ton, they do not improve capacity, so it's an upgrade most will make anyway.


Friend, no one said 3/4 ton trucks can't tow fifth wheels. People obviously do so regularly with them. What many of us can't figure out is why do they do it?

If they already had a 3/4 ton and they get a fifth wheel, I can see the desire to make it work rather than spending extra money to sell/trade in their 3/4 for a 1 ton.

If they're getting the truck for the purpose of towing, why are they saving the ~$1,200 difference to get a 3/4 instead of a 1 ton, especially if they are going to pay for a package that upgrades the hardware with parts that come with the 1 ton? It can't be for an economic reason unless they need the derating for commercial purposes. So if they aren't saving money and they don't need a derated truck, why are they buying 3/4 tons at all? Is there some flex with buying a 3/4 ton that's barely within capacity (if only on paper)? The dealer only had 3/4 tons available? It just doesn't seem to make any sense.
