I'll survive for a little bit but I will almost certainly be the cause of my own death.

If we're so worried about illegal immigrants then why do we not make it easier to legally immigrate to the US. The current wait time for an immigrant with a sponsor already in the US is between 5 and 10 years. People fleeing violence can't wait 1 year much less 10. If the US were serious about controlling illegal immigration they would make a viable and expedient path to citizenry for all that come to our borders.

I'm not a violent person, but with draconian laws like these being put forth seemingly everyday, It feels like a time is approaching that the only recourse trans people will have is to try and cure conservatism with bullets. I for one refuse to be rounded up into camps and forced into the "showers" by these religious fascists.

No one who buys this pulls a trailer big enough to justify the truck. If it was a real work truck it would have either no bed, a flatbed, or a toolbox bed.

I've owned idk how many cars, they've always been a hobby of mine. But the one I miss the most was my 1959 Chevrolet pickup truck. I bought it for next to nothing, it was rusty and beat up, but 100% original. I fixed all the broken and worn stuff on it and slapped a turbocharger on the factory engine and daily drove it for a year or two. Even with the turbo it was dreadfully slow, but it was a riot to drive. It turned a lot of heads and got smiles everywhere I went. Really wish I'd never sold it.

I've been running Graphene on my Pixel 6 pro for about a year now and it's been pretty great. I have had a couple bugs here and there but nothing a quick restart wouldn't fix. I can honestly say I don't really miss any of the google stuff, I've switched to FOSS apps for pretty much everything ,except for what's required for work.

And the distinction between those two is???? A religion is merely a cult that has gathered enough followers to go mainstream.

This is really exciting news, The severe lack of viable transplant organs has been a serious hinderance to the medical profession. If the process can be perfected this has the potential to save millions of lives.

If you can do basic maintenance to the car like changing belts, hoses, filters, etc it's really no big deal. I used to daily 1959 pickup truck, now I'm in an 81 jeep. Old cars are a lot of fun and the mechanicals on them are way simpler than what you'll find in a modern car. They do have their drawbacks though. Safety is probably the biggest one, airbags and crumple zones weren't really a thing pre-1990's. They will also get worse fuel mileage and are generally slower and less comfortable. But the look cool, and have a personality that most modern cars are lacking.

That's a terrible idea and a good way to fry an ecu.
