Nearly every day I am reminded of my mistake to rejoin social media.

  • Where do you want to live?

    Jump

  • I lived in Suburbia as a child. Happiness is a thin veneer over the contempt the majority of neighbors feel for each other.

    I lived in rural towns for much of my young adult life. Monopolized utilities and services, as well as the issue of small-town indoctrination, were reliably present.

    I currently live in a metro. The rampant corruption and vehicle-oriented culture are noxious.

    I guess I want to live in outer space. It's pretty quiet up there and I'd imagine it doesn't really smell all that bad.

  • Would an AGM battery perform better in the cold?

    Jump

  • I concur. Get the alternator checked. The diode might be giving up the ghost and causing reverse-current, draining the battery even while off.

  • Why does the car being permium matter?

    More electronic systems means higher instantaneous current draw.

    Seems like it's perfect for me, no?

    Hey, if you get a fine deal on it and it provides all the CCA you need then that's a win in my book. You should still look into trickle charging if not driving the car for more than a week. The battery can get damaged.

  • Don't waste your money on an AGM battery. Unless you have a premium luxury vehicle (i.e. Audi) and the extra cash to burn, just find a decent brand battery with as much CCA as you can fit under the hood.

    Get yourself a 12V trickle charger. Most quality units will fully charge your battery and keep it in a "floating" mode to top it off, letting you keep it connected to the car for several days at a time.

  • Thank you for your kind words. It gives me a degree of solace to believe as you do: I believe I gave her the best life I possibly could. I've made mistakes, but I always did everything with her health in mind. They're just never around long enough.

    Thank you again, I may reach out to you soon. Her story deserves to be shared; she was such a strong little creature.

  • Thank you, kindly. Your offer to help means a great deal to me, however I don't want my grief to affect those in this community who are vulnerable to such emotions. I also understand it's not the nicest of topics and most people would prefer to avoid it.

    If there is no current community for it, I suppose I may have to make one myself.

  • Americans warned of grocery prices shock

    Jump

  • I concur, US federal supreme court judges are appointed solely by the President. This makes these positions highly political and less about merit. Furthermore, fed circuit judges are appointed by fed SC judges, so the whole federal judicial system is just political tug-o'-war.

    Cherry on top is a lot of civil judges, typically circuit-level as well, run unopposed in local elections. Their tenure tends to keep red-state law red and vice-versa. So much for US America being our self-proclaimed "Marketplace of Ideas".

    I agree with revolutionizing our current federal judicial system. It is severely outdated and regularly exploited.

  • What kind of tuna are you feeding them? If it's the human-consumption-type (i.e. StarKist) then the sodium content is way too high.

  • Trump Proposes U.S. Take Over Gaza, Level It and Build Resorts

    Jump

  • I think we're just being pedantic about the word 'front' and are actually agreeing? I'm not saying they're playing 4D chess or that we're living in a movie, I'm only trying to make a point that they're attempting to overwhelm the media so that we don't know which attacks are feigned punches or immediate threats. Obviously they still want to punch the shit out of everything.

  • Trump Proposes U.S. Take Over Gaza, Level It and Build Resorts

    Jump

  • No. Please see the forest for the trees.

    The US occupation of Gaza is currently not a possibility; the logistics of annexing a country on the other side of the world for financial gain is too complex for it to get traction. They are, however, using these wild claims like annexing Canada as well to muddy the waters and make journalism nigh-impossible. Then, when the media is sufficiently pre-occupied, they will push forth the real meat of Project 2025:

    1. Censoring anything they don't agree with
    2. Purging governmental regulation, and
    3. Suppressing citizenry via police-force

    Then, when citizenry is oppressed and resources are conglomerated, the administration will focus it's sights on foreign targets. This is when they'll actually begin making serious threats of invasion.

  • Female pilot in crash Trump blamed on DEI was top 20% Army cadet

  • I never said it was going to fade away? I'm well aware of the extreme state of US politics, as well as the realization that peaceful revolution is now impossible after this last US presidential election.
