re: Truck damage: Bullet hole or rock?

Bullet hole from cheap lead ammo.
I'm not sure if you are aware but most projectiles are mostly lead, some have a copper jacket encasing the lead.
There are a few specialty types of bullets that are pure copper or steel but lead construction is the vast majority.

Police report filed, they think its a bullet hole as well.
I mught go buy one of the flex scopes and look for funsies. Can always use it for something else
I'm team bullet. The weird shaped hole could be from a ricochet and the bullet tumbling or being a partial piece.
Let us know what you find, it may be broken up into smaller fragments though.

re: Trump Administration asks for permanent year round E15 fuel

Turning food into fuel is just about the dumbest thing you can do.
The inputs far outweigh the cost and it as an economic and environmental loser. Not to mention the negative effects on fuel system corrosion and stored fuel longevity.
Trump is wrong on this issue and always has been.

And my 300hp turbocharged k5 with the gt1 package is a completely different car than the base model with 190HP and no perks. I paid 12K more, yall are bitching about $20. If you're that poor, dont buy any games at all and look at your life choices instead.
Nobody is that "poor" that $20 matters.
Your analogy is shite. How about if your maxed out K5 could travel on roads that the base model couldn't (it was geofenced out of famous travel destinations unless you paid a fee)? Would you feel the same way?

But i'm sure you all pack your own lunches avoiding eaiting out at all costs, never buy anything but gas from convenience stores (especially not nicotine or alcohol), and only drive when absolutely necessary because money is SO tight you can't fork over an extra 20 to a company thats given literal trillions of hours of entertainment to it's players.
Talk about some first world problem bullshite.
The best part is the game doesnt even fricking come out for 5 months but saving that extra 4 dollars a month is way harder than just complaining.
Your average american that whines about having to work, slacks off and takes extra breaks every chance they get, constantly talks about how under paid they are, now wants a company to just give them the entirety of their 15 years of work for one discount rate ove the price of one ribeye steak.
There are plenty of industries im all about holding accountable for profiting too much. This isnt even a molehill much less a mountain to fight over.
Im rooting for yoy guys though. I believe if you believe in yourself and try your best you'll be able to scrounge up that $20 just in time so you can enjoy that extra mission your life would be incomplete without.
Im gonna go to the movie board and read all yalls posts bitching about extended edition and directors cuts resales since youre so concerned with not getting everything everyone has to offer at once. Im sure it will make me find some pearls to clutch as well.
You're assuming all kinds of bullshite in your post. This debate is about ownership, consumer's rights, and physical product versus a service. It isn't about the $20...
Just so you don't say "that can't happen" there are over 500 movies being deleted from users PS Store accounts THAT THEY PAID FOR AND PURCHASED that are being deleted from the service. Refunds? Nope, not per the terms of service. That is 100% theft.

They’re braindead twats who can’t even figure out that they’re literally just leasing a license code to rent a product. No ownership at all. It’s why California passed a law mandating that companies let consumers know that they aren’t actually “owning” something when they get it digitally.
What if Rockstar decides to delist the GTA 6 servers 15 years from its launch date? Players won’t have any access to single player or multi-player. It will simply vanish from PS store and you won’t be able to play it ever again.
I hear what you are saying.
But "Games as a service" is a shitty business model I would rather not support. And we should be pushing back.
Once money has changed hands, there is an expectation the product has value and it is an asset. Not so much for a 5 cent piece of bubblegum, but a $100 game, absolutely.
How would you feel if your $2k refrigerator was repossessed, or turned off remotely, after 7 years just because the Terms of Service had expired and the manufacturer doesn't warrant the appliance beyond that time frame?

this is what i've found regarding the two editions... none of it looks story driven.
I'm pretty sure I've read there will be additional missions and side quests that appear throughout the game chapters during gameplay.
Having buildings and locations behind a paywall is not cool either.
For as long as it took to make the game, $80-100 is worth it in my opinion so I don't see the need to cripple the base version.
If they want to charge more, then make the disc version an extra fee.

I used to use Louis for work but they have become harder to deal with over the years.
First they only started carrying one brand of tires, Michelin.
Then there are certain vehicles they choose not to work on, Corvettes of any kind, for example.
In general, I think their quality of work is good but there are just too many "unwritten rules" when doing business with them.

Like buying a base model car snd bitching you didnt get the heated steering wheel, then saying omg they're gouging!! Pay to win drivers! Cars used to cost half as much!!! You mean i dont get the title until the loans paid off? I wanna own it now frick them!
No, it's more like buying a car and having the car stop you from going to certain places unless you pay an additional fee. This is obviously hypothetical.
I don't think anyone has a problem with Rockstar selling additional clothing, skins, weapons, cars, etc.
But they are removing missions from the story throughout the game chapters. Essentially the $80 game is crippleware.
It is absolutely a different game with the $80 versus the $100 version.

As well they should.
IRGC should learn quickly, more strikes on vessels in international waterways=more strikes on your country.
I suspect this will be whack-a-mole for the duration of the 60 day MOU period.
The question of the day is what happens after that.

For those that are old enough to remember.
The accuracy of GPS signals was initially restricted to the public and we didn’t get full accuracy until this policy was stopped in 2000.
I’m not speaking directly to the merits, but our government limiting technology to the public has happened before.

Sounding less and less “decimated”
I agree Trump should dial back some of his bluster regarding Iran's military capability.
However, we hammered their military and they are absolutely wrecked with regards to being able to make long term offensive strikes.
Can Iran still cause havoc and make strikes on static targets and slow moving cargo vessels if given enough time to prepare? Sure.
Iran is a fricking huge country and they have prepared for this for a while with plenty of cash from their oil sales. Destroying every single missile and drone is not realistic.

A little off topic from your post.
I've visited Utah a lot and the scenery is amazing.
I've heard some people claim if you aren't Mormon it can be hard to live there since the church is intertwined in local and state governments, permitting, real estate, etc.
All the Mormons I have met there have been nice people but I'm curious as to your take on that issue.
Thanks.

This is 100% right. Buying a disk in no way means you can play the game forever. Both Sony and Microsoft can block a game being playable from a disk. Games do not even play off a disk, they are just the license key.
Feeling the need to own a disk and that makes you safe to play forever is very Boomer-ish
56 here and not a "boomer". Wanting to own physical media doesn't make anyone a "boomer".
The physical copy gives you ownership whether the game "plays" off of it continuously or not.
You can sell it to soemone else and they can play it. You can loan it to someone else and they can play it. You can't do either of those things with a digital game code once it has been purchased and assigned to your account.
I'll speak for myself, this is Take Two doing this for profit (the disc costs money to make) and to sell more digital copies over teh life of the game (can't sell or trade), which sucks.
It also cuts the throat of physical stores who resell used and new games.
I'm going to wait for the disc version that is supposedly coming in December 2026.
ETA: If Take Two/Rockstar want to charge extra for something, make the disc version $5 more, that pricing structure would actually make sense.
I've become less of a Tucker fan as time has gone on.
With that said, his characterization of Trump's handling of the Iran war seems like a spot-on analysis.
I'd love for the endgame in Iran to turn into a rousing success, but it seems like we have been floundering since the ceasefire.
