  • The pictures of stacks of failed clutches in r/justrolledintotheshop were enough to convince me.

    Ford had a habit of inventing new systems, but slapping them on the first couple model years of any vehicle before they seem ready.

    My dad had a first-gen Explorer Sport Trac with many notorious problems. My favorite was that both inside back door handles broke off it was like being locked in a police car back there.


  • Right, but in 20 years, the dark places will be hot in the summer, but the sunny places will be dangerous much of the year.

    Arizona already has real problems, water, asphalt melting or burning people, more heat stroke.

    SAD sucks, but if you can get outside most days and treat it with meds if needed, moving away from desert is gone be necessary in the not too distant future.

    The failure of democratic checks and balances does not preclude the failure of communist checks and balances as well.

    Democratic Socialism is where I’d like the US to head. But we have to start consistently winning majorities so that we can fix the disproportionate representation that’s hurting progress and making electing the progressives needed for change difficult.

    Wooooooah. My wife’s new glasses actually came with a tiny bottle of Tabasco sauce (with the eye doctor’s business info printed on it).

    I’d give them credit for the meme, but I have a feeling they’re clueless, as they also push “healing salt lamps” in that place.

    Her new progressives came out great at least though!
