I'm guessing he watched the movies

The books literally revolve around frodo and sam being the ultimate heroes.

Fair point. Probably more likely than not if guess

Are there elections coming up in the UK? Just wondering what's happening to get him posting

Rich @rich335.bsky.social · 1d

I can't help but think that maybe they never read Tolkien and just saw the movies

At least when I didn't understand a book, I knew better than to speak up in class about it. Though he may not have read them and just seen the movies

That's insane, steam really did change gaming. The fact that they never realized why everyone went to steam and assumed it's the same reason people buy a spatula on Amazon is revealing

Personally, I thought the Dems should have threatened el Salvador over taking people we sent there

I would as well and I can't read the article because I canceled wapo, but I don't care what ship you're on in a hurricane

I'm pretty sure we know how we as a species react when we can't eat. Like, many books on this, we even have a word for it

I continue to sincerely want the term “Kavanaugh Stop” to be a badge of shame for the rest of Brett Kavanaugh’s days; the only bit of writing he’s known or remembered for; his sole contribution to the Law; for him to perceive, in little stabs of self-awareness, that this will be his rancid legacy.

Just a guess of course but the fundamental problem with used ev's are battery health. Did the previous owner take care of the battery. I'm told there is no reliable way to know.

Yeah, not really meant as an argument. He even said he wanted them to be more obvious. But there are good uses for them

CNN editor-in-chief Mark Thompson, following a While House meeting, sought to soften the news network's coverage of President Trump's demolition of the East Wing, claiming viewers aren't that interested in the story, according to the Status newsletter.

I spent half a day with a captain in the bvis on a sail boat that had the earlier version of these and he told us he had them when he came on board and told us he would record things if we asked. There are real reasons to have them. For him, they are low profile and easy to activate

It's also second nature, I've spent a non insignificant part of my life doing this so I just do it. I also see hail damage, door dings and all kinds of hidden damage on cars I'm just walking by

Rich @rich335.bsky.social · 3d

Actually no, but I also remember when all I had was a radio. On long car trips I try to keep attention on the road and not let it drift off

Rich @rich335.bsky.social · 3d

Not really, it's a game I play on the highway to keep my mind occupied where I pick out rental cars and guess the company. But I'm not even sure I consciously know all the things I'm seeing. It's not a valuable talent but it's what I've got

Rich @rich335.bsky.social · 3d

Feel free to ask someone there, no one cares they are there for us to identify our cars. It's just the amount of variation that I just know and don't really think about. Not sure about road service stickers, I don't think any of the majors have them. We hand you that info and it's on the internet

Rich @rich335.bsky.social · 3d

But when you leave a rental place on an airport the guard should be comparing your paperwork to a sticker on the windshield near the vin plate to make sure your in the right car. But they can be hard to see if you don't know what to look for

Rich @rich335.bsky.social · 3d

That's probably an easier way than a 30 point guide to stickers and locations which probably doesn't even encompass all the things I look for

Rich @rich335.bsky.social · 3d

It's really too hard to explain. There's a ton of variation even in one company. In general, rentals will be newer model years, so right now 24, 25 and 26. They will almost never have a plate bracket and will almost never have a dealer decal on the back.

How George Will describes the unlawful arrest of George Retes in the Bezos Post.

www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

The ICEmen were presumably looking for undocumented immigrants. Retes’s driver’s license, which he says the ICEmen never asked to see, identifies him as “Veteran Army.” His license plate includes “DV”: disabled veteran. While ICE’s warriors were trying and ultimately succeeding in smashing his driver’s-side window (the better to pepper spray him), they apparently did not notice his rear window’s “Iraq Combat Veteran” sticker.
