We went all EV last year, and it's been great to not care about the price of gas at the pump.

The real problem though, is all the other things you buy like clothes and groceries, etc. are impacted by the price of gas and oil used to create it and ship it around. You may not notice the price directly in fueling you car, but eventually, you will be paying dearly because of those high gas prices.

    I lucky enough to get my first DSL line in 1997.

    Was only paying for 128Kbps down but this was before they actually had any throttling in place, and I was close enough to the DLAM to get 1Mbit down. It was mind-blowing at a time when a 1.44Mbps T1 line was $1000+/month pipe dream!

    Not going to go through the whole story, but this was NOT the guitar I was looking for. It was instead the guitar that found me.

    The pictures just don't do it justice, but the finish on the rosewood has this amazing 3D effect, and the tone is best described as 'magical'.

    When I first picked it up and strummed it in the store I could feel it in my whole body, and my wife's comment from several feet away was, "It vibrated my soul."

    Martin 00-28 Standard

    Then I got fired, but now at least I'll have more time to learn to play it in the way it deserves to be played. 😅

    The sad thing it, for streaming "stations", Pandora still has the best algorithms and functioning (thumbs up/down only being applicable to that specific 'station').

    It's a shame they've neglected their apps and almost everything else about their business.

    It's not about saying Biden is to blame. Trump 100% should have blame.

    But the fact that someone else STARTED (or in this case re-started) a bad thing doesn't mean the next person in power gets a free pass for not working to stop it again.

    So it's perfectly fair to call out Biden for not stopping the bad thing that Trump (re)started.

    Also...

    The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

    Just because YOU didn't know doesn't mean much. It just means you're probably not a White Nationalist/Nazi (or maybe it means you are and are just ill informed about the culture and iconography surrounding it ).

    It definitely means something to white nationalists.
