I've driven both but prefer a manual. It's fun to drive one to me.

Is this one of those weird “back in my day…” things?

I mean if you like it, go for it. I’ll stick with the non-stick, thanks.

Kids these days...

Cars with manuals are driven. Cars with automatics are steered.

Jim Breuer, there's a name I haven't heard in a long while.

I think he's MAGA now.

Do the manual transmission devotees here also use a washboard instead of a washing machine?

While I don't like being in stop and go traffic (and I avoid it all costs), there's far more engagement in driving a manual.

Have you driven them?

Look, we’re not valuation specialists here. But I assume you’re being facetious The valuation/revenue multiple of truth social is about 2,000x. If you applied that multiple to apple, apple would be worth like $700 trillion I’m honestly curious how something like that is allowed. It’s insanely overv...

Horrible...

Book 'em Dano.

So, I've had a sinus infection over the week, got back from GWL. Was OK - but developed a coughing spell that is giving me anxiety about chest pains.

I'm glad my kids are adults now.

I'm confused. Someone accused Shyster of being racist?

I've never seen that from him.

Boo on the Krauts ending manuals.

Testing the 2024 BMW M2—maybe the last M car with a manual transmission

Polls are good when they say what we want, bad when they don't... the election isn't today or next week or next month. None of this means anything at the moment. I do find a poll saying RFK is at 16% in PA odd. Anyone here know a single RFK Jr. voter? Most of us live in PA. I'm sure we collectively...

I am seeing that the tick tock owner just bought a stake in the spac that will make Trump’s stake worth billions.

Are you talking about Yass? The person who was able to get Trump to change his mind about banning ticktok. Did he invest 545mm in the spac?

Yep. When you make your whole site free (with ads everywhere) vs subscription, you gotta come up with crap to get clicks.

I've read his website a few times since it became free and he offers nothing. He comes across as blowhard.

Suddenly seem to be a lot of gambling scandals coming out in professional sports these days. Can't imagine why.

I think it was a huge mistake for pro sports to embrace gambling.

People destroy their financial, etc lives losing.

Official predictions not due yet.

Falter is a disappointment

Too much faltering.

I'm in the first, Falter has given up two homers already.

If Truth Social becomes public, the value will immediately plummet.

First pitch from the Dodgers game in S Korea:

Simon's family said he had CTE. Suicide like Koltsoz.

And this is why I can't take that position seriously. It's all predicated on your loathing of the US having any foreign alliances or interests, so you dump those misgivings at NATO's feet. I wouldn't say I loathe the US having foreign alliances or interests. It's not like I'm up at night just steam...

Hah, my FIL left me a boxed set of those.

I saw them in a Minute Mart and couldn't believe war cards existed so had to buy a pack.

No gum included.

Indeed.

Given your involvement, I can understand you having that sentiment.

I was against both Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

I came across a few Desert Storm TOPPS cards recently.

I've had celery in jello. Walnut and or pecans too. It's a holdover from the 1950's Betty Crocker jello salad madness.

The 94,95 or 96ish Capitals had some my most hated players. Simon Hunter, Berube, Witt, Tinordi and Juneau.

Never hated Joe but yes to the others.
