Cars & Bikes, Driving & Riding
Also, if you never learned to drive a manual then you don't have any experience to form an opinion between the two. I grew up on a farm driving the farm truck around… of course I can drive a stick… but times change and I don’t want to drive one now. You associate it with unfun work. I get it.

See I don't see the manual transmission as technological improvement. More like Betamax --> VHS.I don't hate cassette or CD players, I personally just don't want one in my car. Give me Bluetooth and Apple Car Play.

It seems to come and go or maybe I only notice it sometimes. In a recent game, I heard a number of his numbers.Ah yeah. Lascheid was the best. I miss the live playing, though. The recordings are good but there's no soul to it. Next person to fill out the survey, request a live organist please.

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

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

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...

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

I've read his website a few times since it became free and he offers nothing. He comes across as blowhard.Yep. When you make your whole site free (with ads everywhere) vs subscription, you gotta come up with crap to get clicks.

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.
