Perhaps, or an offensive based on how anti-Semitism is currently used to target legal free speech.

So Trump & Gang has $600M in lawyer credits to weaponize our government, persecute individuals and corporations, and stall opposition and justice.

These companies don’t get added to the good guy lawyers list.

That would help a lot. Heck, I’d love to have an overabundance of cactus fruit at 10/$1 and there is someone off 5 who seems to be growing that. Makes me smile.

But that doesnt help me much as we don’t use our water from those reservoirs; a lot of my friends do.

But if you can do the same work with half the water, there is a savings.

You do touch on one thing I haven’t seen mentioned, and it’s the profitability of forcing upgrades. Man, oh man is that an epic ripoff! “Here’s 10 tips to make your home more energy efficient and save $300 off your bill in 2025!” Followed by a list of 10’s of thousands of dollars in upgrades: double pane windows, heat pump water heaters, mini split systems, induction cooktop, solar, don’t forget electrical panel upgrades. I like tech and all, but damn, you’re the utility, the less we consume, the more they charge. Makes me want to go off-grid.

I hate low flow showers too, but know what I hate more? Droughts and water utilities’ excessive use fees.

These regulations weren’t added because some bored bureaucrat wanted to dick around with the norms. They were added to address a problem.

As a Californian, Trumpy Dumpty flushed 5+ billion gallons of water down a river; water we manage closely preparing for drought season. That’s a problem for us.

How are you creating more water/storage for this reversal Whitehouse morons?

Oh Trumpy Dumpty, it’s only April. Have you run out of plays to fuck shit up already? You grasping at straws now?

Pfft. Art of the deal my ass.

Oh snap! China, you got schooled. Ain’t nut’n you can do now! Check mate.

“Hold my tea.” -China

It’s like the left foot trying to run away from the right. Let’s do more of what is working.

What a moron.

Yeah, but aren’t the owners of Home Depot big financial supporters of trump?

It’s not nothing, but “Hasn’t shit on DEI” is hardly a saving grace here.

“Yo, boss. I need a 54% raise to keep up with inflation. Pronto!”

Hahaha almost kept a straight face. I crack myself up.

On one hand, good riddance to the arm-raising bulldozer destroying the foundations supporting us, The People, on the other hand, I don’t trust any trump administration dipshit numbnuts to take over anything technological since they can’t handle basic signal group chats.

I suppose fuck-it-up-and-leave is his M.O.

That was a LOT of scrolling just to realize I clicked the wrong list. JFC!

[He] was abducted off the street and taken to government security forces to an undisclosed location, where he was tortured, facing electrocution and suffocation.

So he fled to America and started the asylum process… where he was abducted by the government, shuffled to undisclosed detainment locations, and shipped off to El Salvador known for harsh treatment and torture of prisoners.

Way to go. /s

Link working for anyone else?

Oh that would still apply. It’s the application of law that defines the new American caste system.

Wise, wise decision.

I swear it is true, though probably not the first search result. Citation available upon request.

Rule 34 of the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition: War is good for business

Well, that’s just a new level of fucked up cruel. Their plan from the start, but certainly not the last.

I’m out of swears at the moment. Care to lend me some?

I should clarify, it was a free inspection, courtesy of the shop, with the car in for a repair I scheduled, not at the request of government.

We so have “star stations” where some vehicles can be selected for more elaborate smog-related inspections, but that can be a crapshoot.

I’ve had one car pass only if we installed leaky OEM exhaust pipes on, and another fail because it did not have a CARB decal on the catalytic converter. (Fun fact, the cat we were forced to buy and install didn’t have a decal either, but it “passed” after. Yeah, it was a shakedown)

Not looking for perfect, but I’m not finding consistency with this math. I’ve had tire non-alighment related issues this year including a blowout and crunching scenarios doesn’t come up with a tax applicable to road wear.

I ran rumbers on a few cars I have access to ranging from 2100 lbs to 7100 lbs. You can use estimated miles and load rating, but your tax would be worst case scenarios. I also put larger tires on a very light car because the amount it floated on the freeway stock was disconcerting.

Point is, if everyone had to use OEM, it would be a bit more accurate. But the variety in material, application, and availability adds a lot of variable as to make this moot.

My second lightest and second heaviest car in all my family use the same tire.

Only time my car has been inspected has been a rare repair or during smog tests, and many are exempt.

Actually, yeah, it was 120,000 mile service. New clutch, water pump, timing belt, and synchro ring. Pretty much the only inspection. Hmmm, timing belt is coming up again…

Hey, he just said most lethal aircraft. He did not specify friend or foe.
