    Mods mind explaining why homophobic slurs against posters is ok behavior on here?

    I look at it this way. If a poster has to go there, you've already won. Things like that are something a child would say. A CHILD. Think about that a moment. It really is amazing, how many children post here. Quite hilarious actually...

    Oh no, Poor Eloon and Cyber Cck Mobile. More problems.

    Saw a video on this...something like the glue they use to fasten the pedal to the accelerator lever is not adhering permanently. If the pedal comes loose it can get shoved in such a fashion to cause the lever to stay depressed. Easy fix... No, not defending anything or anybody here, just that...

    When trump is deafeated in

    There will be a power vacuum for certain, and a scramble to grab the reins that is the current Republican party that will involve a "distancing from the name/persona of Trump/MAGA", but not necessarily the ideology. I highly doubt we'll see a shift to the center (call it a return to the GOP of...

    Can you drive a vehicle with a manual transmission?

    Same here. Last vehicle I owned with one I traded off in 2003. After that I got to drive a friend's Vette with a 6 speed quite often but alas he traded it off a few years ago.

    Speaker Johnson moves on foreign aid, possibly triggering vote to oust him

    It would give them all someone/something to throw rocks at. However, my bet is Jeffries wouldn't accept the job. No sane Democrat would without at the very least a majority.

    Speaker Johnson moves on foreign aid, possibly triggering vote to oust him

    This is why I'm secretly hoping someone like Marge gets roped into it. "You asked for this shit show, now show us all how it's done."

    POLL: Do you wear a watch?

    Yeah, mine's been with me I believe since the late 80's. I use it while on my bus. It's mainly backup and for when the rare chance I need to know what time it is when I'm away from my driver's seat (we can't touch our phones on the bus when kids are on). I have a LaCrosse "atomic clock" on my...

    POLL: Do you wear a watch?

    Same here. Only wear it while working though. $30 30+ year old watch, works perfect.

    bumpy weather Tuesday

    Meh...nothing special here in CR. Both lines dropped all too brief heavy rainfall, then flew on through. I guess I should be happy we got some rain, but (so far) we didn't really get all that much considering the forecast. Sigh...

    What is the appropriate response from Israel to Iran?

    That's just it. "A calculated response" doesn't have to be an immediate response.

    bumpy weather Tuesday

    Why do I get the feeling CR ain't going to get a single drop out of this system?

    What is the appropriate response from Israel to Iran?

    By NOT acting (at this time). We really don't know if Iran "shot their best wad" with the weekends' attacks. Only Iran (and maybe to an extent Israel) knows that for certain. But the fact they apparently largely failed - and Israel didn't fall for the bait aspect of it - Iran also learned...

    What is the appropriate response from Israel to Iran?

    An escalating retaliation is exactly what Iran wants Israel to do. Making Iran sweat is the correct move here. Take your time, make the next move count.

    Iowa's very own and overrated Zach Johnson--Meltdown

    I'd like to know how he's over-rated. I mean, yes he's past his prime and he didn't exactly win a slew of tournaments. But he never truly was considered a "great" upper echelon PGA golfer...just a pretty consistent golfer that was capable for about a 10 or so year period of contending for...

    bumpy weather Tuesday

    I don't think it's "can't handle storms any more" so much as...follow me here. Ever since the derecho, we seem to get as far as severe weather practically nothing as far as frequency of storms. We're in a major drought obviously, which means simply put very little precipitation - therefore few...

    bumpy weather Tuesday

    I just hope we get the rain they atm believe we're going to get (1-2"). We simply cannot miss these opportunities for a good old fashioned soaker. As for severe weather, it appears that overnight into morning is when (for eastern Iowa) when the rains begin. But say late morning/early afternoon...

    How stupid is war?

    Most all the people in the "war thread", I swear their brains are broken. War sucks. As far as me sitting here on my keyboard, the last thing I believe I'd be doing is somehow turning what's going on halfway across the world (which is, of course, appalling) into some sort of message board...
