Or a super drink off, bunch of amateurs around here! (Spoiler, the first round will be too close to call)

Apparently not in that class, but the Viper will be a thing for 20 more years, as of current plans.

I’m actually surprised how intact he mostly is after that, at least from that camera distance.

Interesting, probably some “non-standard” or personal reasons driving those.

Good question. I used to listen to one guy’s podcast that was generally good and entertaining, but in real life interactions it became rapidly apparent he was a self-loving douche bag who I’m sure was credible in his former life, but he lacked all other “decent human” skills. I no longer listen to him because I know what a douche he is in real life (once off the mic and not pretending to be a good dude). Unfortunately, there’s probably a lot of guys like that out there.

Solid points, love the priorities. Enjoy life away from the city bullshit! If you don’t have to carry a gun for wildlife protection on your own property, are you really even living?!

Agree with Smokin. If it’s financially feasible to buy adjacent property, never pass it up. If you do, you’ll surely regret it down the road - you can’t have enough property to buffer between you and whatever some future jackass is undoubtedly going to do (Murphy’s law). Another thought if you really don’t want to sink that kind of money into the other parcel for the long term, you could subdivide it to large parcels you’d be comfortable with having neighbors on (say 40 acres), and put covenants on it that prevent further subdivision, no junk yards/large number of abandoned vehicles, etc. Don’t go crazy, but a few things like that could make it acceptable to you long term, and you’d certainly make some good profit…just have to be able to bankroll it for a few years.

They'll be retrained into something - EX or 35 probably make the most sense. They may “burn” some time not doing a whole lot, but it’ll be fine in the long run.

She is an absolute garbage human being. I hope never getting another professional job again is the best thing that happens to her. She deserves the worst.

Nope. I understand, and share, many of Elon’s frustrations. But, a 3rd party isn’t going to solve those issues. Fundamental change has to occur amongst the voter population to generate meaningful change for the primary thing Elon is most pissed off about - the deficit. Until that happens (likely only when voters’ hands are forced), congress will do nothing meaningful to significantly impact that issue, regardless of party affiliation.

But seriously, congrats on that much land. Good luck with the communists in charge of the state.

I wasn’t referring to just the BBB, I’m speaking generally about avoiding the fiscal cliff - the answer is not more taxes, it’s stop spending ludicrous amounts of money on dumb shit. Though I’m glad to hear you say you’re down with cutting entitlements (e.g. where the vast majority of “the dumb shit” resides). The point I made above, and am making now, is large cuts in entitlements is the only answer that moves the needle enough. Until we do that, everything else is par for the course noise, including this bill.

They’ll need to do a whole lot more than the protesting that has occurred. Directed violence is the only answer at this point.

Not saying there aren’t Islamic groups who “project power” in a terrorizing/iron fist rule method, but the general populace of the Islamic world will not fight it. They’ll keep their heads down, do what they’re told, etc. The percentage of those people who will stand up and fight evil and tyranny is very small.
