  • Car shows. They happen all the time. Look for one for corvettes and go. The people who attend them love the cars and will either be willing to buy or know someone who is. If you aren’t sure where to find one look for classic car museums in your area or garages that specialize in classic car repair. Both may be able to direct you or may even know someone who would be interested in your car. Car people are chatty as fuck and it’s the kind of community that will happily tell you where to go or who to talk to.


  • This is the exact same stuff they fed us when I was in Iraq 20 year ago. They gave the contract to the lowest bidder who bought the cheapest food possible then pocketed the “leftover” cash. This isn’t new. The difference between then and now is our families could send us care packages and we didn’t have cell phones to post about the mystery meat. I don’t want anyone to eat like this but I also don’t know why everyone is surprised by wartime food. Food SUCKS when you deploy, it’s why they give troops the big send off steak and lobster dinner. Best way to avoid giving our troops trash food is to NOT DEPLOY THEM.



  • Ignore the downvotes. Fishing is easy as long as one can be very still and very quiet while maintaining the focus needed to react to a fish. People don’t fail at fishing because of lack of “skill.” In my experience they fail because they get bored or make a shit ton of noise. (Or because another group of fishers is loud as fuck - whhhhhy?)

    When I was a kid we used to catch tilapia for dinner with a line, a hook, and stale bread. No rod needed. My friend taught me to do it in ten minutes. Not hard.






  • AND that’s the problem with “safety” tech. It doesn’t act as an assistant it acts as a nanny. A nanny that makes mistakes. Sometimes harmless, sometimes irritating, and sometimes dangerous. Each driver should be allowed to decide what level of assistance they need/want without being forced or shamed about it. If we can’t trust drivers to drive then maybe we shouldn’t have cars and should redirect resources to public transportation infrastructure instead. (Personally I’m very on board with the latter.)
