Re: Swamp Quarantine Movie Night - Over The Top (1987), Thursday, 4/10 9 PM ET
Brian can play the Jerry Reed character in the re-make. Not sure which Swamper is the best Bandit. Gonna try to shut down in Grand Junction tonight if I can ever get my signed bills of lading here in Denver so I can pick up this load. Albertsons/Safeway is the worst. (Actually Amazon is the worst b...

Re: Car buying
Like most folks, I just hate all the bullshit that old school car dealerships pull. I've read the articles and listened to various podcasts... I know what they are up to and I just don't want to play the stupid, timewasting, soul-sucking game. Carmax cuts out all that crap. The price is the price. ...

Re: Presidential Election 2024
I’d love to know who all of these supposed Trump/Biden/Trump voters are if some polls are to be believed That’s fairly logical to me. Some of this will be people who thought Trump was too crazy conservative, then voted for Biden the Moderate, then Biden turned out to be too liberal. There will also...

Re: Car buying
I would just assume a broker has relationships with dealers and they essentially takes a percentage of what you could have negotiated down for yourself. Probably still worth it to a lot of people who don't want the hassle, but I don't think I'd ever trust they were working for me. This was the husb...

Daniel Tosh had a car broker on his podcast and he says you're a sucka if you pay the broker. He said in his 45 years of doing it he only took commission from the seller. I didn't even know those were a thing. I'm not sure that makes sense. I asked a guy to perform a service for me - go and find a ...

Only because they're dumb and/or bigoted enough to fall in line with the rich people steering. That’s how it used to be, sure. But just as the rich and powerful did in 1930s Germany, they’ve lost most of their control. Many of the not-massively-rich-but-comfortably well off have left the GOP. Eithe...

It's probably not going to be today (even though he's K'ed each of the first 6 Cubs he faced), but Paul Skenes is going to put up a 20-K game before his career finishes if he doesn't completely destroy his UCL multiple times.
