Buttermilk into the cabin air intake at the bottom of the windshield. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.

Truck Nutz are literally gender-affirming prosthetics for trans-gendered trucks.

If function were a priority at all for pickup trucks they would have stubby sloped noses like Sprinter vans have. But no, they need to have massively elongated and elevated hoods because the vast, overwhelming majority are sold exclusively as penis prosthetics.

It’s comical how empty the engine bay is under those stupid hoods. On Rams with the V6 I can literally stand on the ground in between the radiator and the front end of the engine and still have room to move around.

If they used a functional and efficient (and way less expensive) van instead of a pickup for their trade, the ownership and fuel savings would more than pay for a reasonable car to use as a car.

They should require a commercial license, have hardware speed limiters, be restricted to only the right lane of the highway, and require biannual safety inspections. You want to cosplay as a trucker, you get to live by trucker rules.

Vans are the real vehicle for trades. You can fit way more gear, it’s all locked up and weather protected, and the vehicle footprint is still smaller.

There is almost nothing a pickup truck does better than a van when it comes to work vegicles for the trades.

Tungsten carbide tips on the umbrella.

I’ve counted. In my area of Canada less than 3% of pickups that I see are being used as anything other than a commuter car at any given time.

These insecure dumbasses define their worth by the size of their truck. The things are just $100,000 fashion accessories. Emotional support vehicles.

My neighbour used to park his truck sticking way out like that, but it wasn’t all the way back in the spot.

I left a note on it saying: “It’s not as big as you think it is, you have to put it all the way in.”

From then on it was parked properly.

Good. The world needs to be rid of superpowers altogether. Yes, China is ascendant right now. But they too will fall in time.

I absolutely love this for them. I’m glad they’re hitting the USA as hard as they are. Laughed out loud when I saw the E3 broken in half.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Say goodbye to your world superpower status, ya morons.

As a Canadian, I’m glad they’re running out of ammo before they turn north.

He has won it and ended it completely at least (checks notes) 17 times now! Nobody has ever ended the same war that many times in all of history!

That’s what Mint is for. It just gets out of my fucking way. Most of the time I’m not aware that I have an OS.

The USA spends more tax dollars per capita on health care than any other country. And then people have to buy insurance and pay out of pocket on top of that.

If the USA just magically cloned any public healthcare system in the world they would save billions in tax dollars and insurance and out-of-pocket health costs would disappear.

If all the resources we spent blowing shit up and killing innocent people had been put to good use instead, we would be in a Star Trek-esque post-scarcity society by now. Possibly on our way to being Kardashev type 1 society.

It can’t fully displace jobs because it’s super unreliable and makes tons of errors all the time. But it can do some tasks well if you know how to handle it.

Still not worth anywhere near what it costs, either to the user, the CAPEX investment, society or the planet.

Exactly.

I’ve always been in favour of tiered consumption taxes. Basic neccessities of life aren’t taxed. Sorta nice stuff gets taxed a bit. Uber lux stuff and harmful stuff gets taxed all the fucking way.

Example: bus pass? Free. Subcompact cheap EV? 20% tax. Lambo? 300% tax.

Rich fuckers have way too many ways of getting out of paying income tax. Tax the stuff instead so that you can’t live like a rich person without paying the kind of taxes rich people should be paying.
