Musings of a minor megalomaniac
Doesn’t matter if it’s pumping bad loans into the 3rd world, Internet fuckery or airmanship shit shows. The mutherfuckers just won’t stop. Apparently they need clarification on what a deliberate provocation really is.
“The U.S. military planes traveled thousands of miles to China’s doorstep to flex muscle,” said Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning.
They’ll know it when they see it. The Russians are REAL close to learning the true definition of provocation.
Building on the 2nd gen TorqueLink, the final iteration of the ultimate leaf-spring pickup truck traction bar is finally here, once again eliminating that annoying clutch chatter. Solid axle trucks are mostly gone now because let’s face it: The massive hunks of cast iron were just too heavy, inefficient and difficult to manage from a suspension perspective. But they’re nearly indestructible and will last forever with an occasional oil change, so pick ur poison.
They don’t do well on lifted trucks with lots of power due to a phenomenon called axle wrap, where torque literally twists the leaf springs causing wheel hop and other un-desirable effects. Combined with an early hydraulic clutch and balky Getrag stick inspiring songs like Gear Jammer, pulling out through 1st and 2nd gear could be tricky. Anything less than precise engagement going into 2nd would hop the back wheels clear off the ground under power and chatter like a mariachi dancer at anything less if you weren’t real careful with it.
TorqueLink-I & II solved the forward axle wrap problem nicely, but it was a regression back into clutch chatter on the 2nd go. 3klb die springs solved that. More than a few grease monkeys like me made the mistake of bolting something like this more-or-less hard into the frame, not taking into account fore/aft suspension flex of a half inch or more. Die-hards claimed the longer you made them the less of a problem it was. Scary creaking and crunching noises were common and cracked frames not unheard of.
That ’07 got a set of custom Caltracs and was quite happy with them. But it’s an automatic – whole different animal. I only just recently found out you can get lifted trucks as dealer installed options these days. Oh well, it was fun anyway.
I can always get behind that when it involves clamping down on organized child abusers. Still can’t get over that bunch with the daycare fentanyl in NY. Proud to see Colorado leading the effort against the really dangerous ones pervading online spaces. It might be too early to tell, but I’m seeing an entire generation scarred from this cr@p.
The woke might. MAGA don’t care.
Yes, extinction and slavery are issues, but work-forces have historically suffered the most during big economic paradigm shifts. Everybody got all worked up about it for a couple months after the public intro. Just not sure how many realize it’s been here all along, slowly, inexorably seeping into the programming on numerous fronts in the high tech battlespace.
I mean as a nation, just generally speaking. I get how your MAGA-type problem is orders of magnitude worse than what we’re dealing with here. Your networks seem to reflect society in that they’re also permeated with the digital n’ere-do-well types doing some of the most annoying web fuckery these days. Always have been actually, just that it’s more recently come to my attention again.
Still not sure what you been doing all year, but it’s starting to look like that game’s over now. Prolly see the write-up in Wired™ after a few months. So with the exception of the few who got picked off in real-time this morning, again, my apologies. Russia’s just off the net table, so stop complaining.
See ya after the war…
Don’t think for a second these mutherfuckers aren’t ready to take power by any means necessary. Anybody doubt there’s a long waiting list of MAGA mouthbreather patsies looking to make their mark on history? Let’s hope the Secret Service purge is nearing completion.
2nd in line? First elected in 2016? You’ve got to be fucking shittn’ me. I better not see Biden and Harris together much for awhile.
Only 1 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents favored newly-elected Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) as the person for the job in the days that led up to his election, according to a new poll.
The new speaker of the U.S. House had a key role in trying to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential election win. Republican Rep. Mike Johnson spearheaded a legal brief in support of an unsuccessful lawsuit trying to overturn the results. He repeated baseless conspiracy theories about the election and voted against certifying its outcome after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
New Speaker once wrote in support of the criminalization of gay sex.
We’ve seen how the Supreme Court is tied to elite power brokers with well established puppet strings. The executive branch is just a couple of bullets away.
Can’t find enough of this kinda Stuff, anymore. Really hurts when you get insane and stupid together.
Baron von Fatfuck blabbing his moronic ass off to any imbecile in earshot about whatever idiotic manifestation crosses his mind is one thing Think MAGA rallies. But selling it to the Russians with deliberate intent is another. They both deserve life in prison, just the former in more of a quantity vs. quality sort of way.
…and a couple S’s and you get the Right’s Lies. Margarine Trailer Queen sits in a broken House throwing gasoline on the fire. If the Churchers need a definition for irredeemable waste of human flesh, it can be found right here.
The Two-Way-Street nature of communication just escapes so many. Receivers on the end of alot this speech floating around nowadays might be feeling a pretty steep price when those screaming the loudest call for death and destruction. Doesn’t matter who started it. Chappelle got it right again.
He was right when he called Twitter™ a bathroom wall, and he’s right to say what he’s saying about the Middle East conflict now. Butthurt recipients might consider what really makes them feel that way. If they haven’t figured out why they continue being terrorized by now, they probably never will. At least not as long as religious zealots stoke the flames.
Whadda ya think’s behind some of the most divisive bullshyt in the USA today? Religious nutbags wanting to impose their beliefs on society at large. Preach it all you want – I can’t afford it – price is way too high when holy righteousness drives politics leading to war and 12-year-olds being forced to carry illegitimate pregnancies.
…this was AI-generated? They been hiding behind this shyt on an ever-increasing basis for years. Apparently customers stopped rising to the level of human interaction some time ago. Better learn how to train a chatbot if you want anything from these assholes ever again.
It only takes a few seconds to delete their cookies and I’ll be watching whatever the fuck I want for hours on end ad-free, if I so please. Just make bookmarks for ur channels and let them serve the garbage to somebody else.
These fuckwits just don’t realize how the social media advertising phenomenon is only one of many quandaries ruining the Internet experience all across the board. They sit in their basement printing money, pointing their clientele at whatever dangerous scammin’ fraud might grab some eyeballs on the screen, while the rest of us wonder WTF?

Profit motives led platforms to ignore abuse too often, and they also enabled the spread of misinformation, the decline of local news, the rise of hyperpartisanship, and entirely new forms of bullying and bad behavior. All of that is true, and it barely scratches the surface.
The truck was originally built as a road warrior – PACbrake, Gear Vendor overdrive, sway bars. The 1st set of tires I bought for it were road treads. It performs well in that capacity, sipping fuel going down the highway at sane throttle openings. It always got around 20MPG used mostly as an urban commuter until I retired. I imagine it would drop to 15 hauling a full load, but I never checked it and only ever made a very few trips with the car trailer.
It’s got way more pulling power up front now, as the name suggests. These 1st gen Dodge Cummins trucks are notorious for how stupid front-heavy they are. I normally carry around 800lbs of fuel, water, tools, whatever in the back just so it handles somewhat safely. The bad conditions traction coefficient just doubled. Here’s the Google review I left for the guys down at Country Truck.
