I remember those days. Sick time? Uh Uh no way jose. I need that bill money too bad to take off work. If you're sick drink a few hot toddys and hope the chp don't catch you driving to work.
In 1991 my boss, his layabout nephew and me were doing some work at yosemite park on the cafeteria boiler. I was so goddamn sick I couldn't hardly move but I was there, boy, doing what I could. The nephew was also sick but not like me. I think I had quadruple newmonia or something.
The nephew was whining about having to work. Boss said look at him he ain't staying in the room. That made things nice didn't it.
Don't ever make the mistake I made by ignoring my goddamn insurance company.
Those ignorant fuckers won't renew on a small rental home I have. Because of some non existent tree limbs hanging over the roof.
I submitted pics of the roof showing no tree limbs. They sent out a 3rd party inspector who said tree limbs were hanging over the roof.
Lyin cocksuckers.
I have been calling trying to get other insurance but a blue million of these fuckers don't supply it for california.
And now I am getting fucking bunch of calls from a call center for a place called Freeway Insurance. I called them ONE time, and now I am getting deluged.
There is a tree company advertising on the radio about insurance companies canceling because of tree limbs overhanging the roof. He says let us inspect your trees.
Pretty bad when a tree company feels the need to advertise like that.
I am a little on the fence with this one. The brands of gas this guy mentions I have used most of them at one time or another. And never had an issue. Never heard of Murphy's though. I use Valero in my vehicles, and it meets these so called top tier standards.
All I wanted to do was replace the pcv valve and the grommet.
That didn't take long. Only about an hour. I wound up having to use a screwdriver as a chisel and chisel the rubber grommet out.
That thing was hard hard hard.
Then I wanted to replace spark plugs. Uh huh, yeah right. I got one two three four and six replaced. Easy peasy japanesy.
Number five? No bueno. I can't get the damn boot off the damn plug. Got a pair of those knipex pliers and tried it that way. I quit with that cause it looked like I was tearing the boot.
I'm gonna have to wait on my grandson and see if he can pull it off. I have lost a lot of strength in my hands.
Any way it feels like the rough idle is much better so I'm gonna take it back to smog tomorrow and keep my fingers crossed it passes this time.
Yeah, this is pure bullshit. I think the farmers are already going thru this with their damn tractors.
I am not certain, but I think all of the manufactures now already control the flow of information. When you have to buy a subscription just so you can plug your obd2 scanner in and connect to the manufacturer to read the goddamn codes that is pure bullshit.
Six congress critters are telling the military to defy orders. Isn't that sediton? And President Trump has said that is punishable by death.
He is incorrect in that. Military personnel charged with sedition can be punished by death. But civilians cannot. Civilians can be incarceratedfor 20 years or so.
They are saying military can defy illegal orders. Oh yeah? Tell that to the thousands of servicemembers who got thrown out because they wouldn't take the clot shot! That wasn't legal by any stretch of the imagination.
Sedition is overt conduct, such as speech or organization, that tends toward rebellion against the established order. Sedition often includes subversion of a constitution and incitement of discontent toward, or insurrection against, established authority. Sedition may include any commotion, though not aimed at direct and open violence against the laws. Seditious words in writing are seditious libel. A seditionist is one who engages in or promotes the interest of sedition.
I live in central california. I did not know about this until my sister from texas asked me about it.
You wanna talk authoritarian? THIS is authoritarian.
Ole mumdonny in noo yawk city is gonna get dehydrated by this because he will be drooling with anticipation that he can emulate this in nyc.
This country has gone to hell without benefit of a handbasket. Time to start the revolution.
Assembly Bill435 (AB 435), authored by Assemblymember Lori Wilson, was signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom on October 7, 2025, and became Chapter 434 of the Statutes of 2025.The law amends several sections of the California Vehicle Code to strengthen child passenger safety regulations.
The most significant change introduced by AB 435 is the replacement of the current height-based exemption for front seat riding with a new "5-Step test" to determine if a child is properly restrained by a safety belt. This test, which will take effect on January 1, 2027, requires that a child be sitting all the way back against the auto seat, with knees bending over the edge of the seat, the shoulder belt snugly crossing the center of the chest and shoulder (not the neck), the lap belt as low as possible and touching the thighs, and the child able to maintain this position for the entire trip.
Under the new law, children under 10 years of age will be required to use a booster seat, and children under 13 years of age will not be allowed to sit in the front seat unless they pass the 5-Step test.The bill also clarifies that a child who fails the test must continue to use a booster seat.
The law maintains the existing requirement that children under 8 years old or under 4 feet 9 inches in height must be secured in an appropriate child passenger restraint system.It also preserves the current fine structure for violations: a $20 fine for a first offense and up to $50 for subsequent offenses.
The bill was initially proposed to raise the minimum age for front seat riding to 16 and to eliminate the height requirement entirely, but these provisions were not included in the final version that was enacted.The final law does not require the state to reimburse local agencies for the costs associated with the new requirements.
Fuck if I know. I was listening to a talk show today and he was playing some pretty damn good music on his intro. And then he had to go and spoil it all by saying the music was from some ai generated band that didn't exist.
This shit is the legacy of democrats. Started by lbj and perpetuated by every democrat ever since.
Previously minorities, expecially black people, had some pride in themselves and lived life like normal people, relying on themselves to provide for their family. They worked and played and acted like normal goddam people.
But now we are in the deep end of the pool and forgot how to swim.
It is too late for President Trump to make a difference.
Our culture has changed, as evidenced by momdummy winning mayor in nyc. And in minnesota's minneapolis, the mayor race hasn't been called, but it doesn't matter. Both of those guys are solid far left, one is a socialist the other is a gimmedatbeforeikillyou socialist, who prefers somalia to minneapolis. If he wins that is what minneapolis will turn into. Remember mogadishu? That's what's coming there.
I thought with the last election we stood a chance at turning things around, but I do not believe that to be the case now.
The dems have us on the ropes whether we believe it or not.
Why in the blue 7 hells should congress be paid to fuck america in the ass?
My opinion is that this shutdown will go thru christmas. I think the democrats are so deeply entrenched that they cannot let this go.
🚨 @WhipKClark, the number two House Democrat, on the Democrat Shutdown: "Of course there will be families that are going to suffer... but it is one of the few leverage times we have."
But will republicans be willing? I think the repubs, holding tough as they are right now, are going to cave if the shutdown gets to christmas, or maybe thanksgiving.
I don't have any confidence in them at all.
And I don't think withholding paychecks is enough. When a situation like this comes up, we need a clause in the constitution that says not one of the congress critters and not one of the senators can go up for re-election.
And everyone of the staff members of their offices will be terminated and new ones hired. The old ones cannot be re-hired.
This shutdown may be good in some respects. The longer this goes on hopefully the public will see we don't need the fed .gov as much as they think we do.
