Next time someone tells me "you wouldn't want to live in one of those old castles" I'll show themthis.

Yes. Not only that, but to pave the way for Trumps third, fourth, eight terms, and a sweeping presidential powers bill to coast through Congress that makes Patriot Act look like the Bill of Rights.

We need the actual "it was actually done" versus "the circumstances were created such that it could have been done"

Meanwhile you can still get away with most of what you learned in Java 1.4.

I think the best outcome would be that it might uncover deliberate malfeasance that might prompt some folks in congress to do what is needed. I wouldn't be optimistic though.

Slightly more likely is that such discovery would drive the public towards a congressional swing away from his enablers at the next congressional election next year, assuming we have it. I'm moderately more optimistic on that, apparently such a swing is already forming, but to what extent isn't clear.

We can't undo the election results, the congressional count done on jan 6 is definitive.

At some point in time it was argued that manual allowed finer control of engine efficiency to automatic which simply shifted at certain speeds or rpms that weren't always ideal. So properly driving a manual meant you saved gas.

I dare say in the decades since that argument began, automatic transmissions have gotten way better and reasonably as efficient as the average manual driver.

Also, when manuals were more generally common, they were generally cheaper than automatics. I don't know if that's true anymore, but I think the average person will have a hard time finding a manual new (consumer grade) vehicle in any given dealership in the US these days -- you'd have to get it ordered.

I am VERY disappointed in you MELVIN

But I'm more a fan of the Lou Diamond Phillips scenes honestly

remembering what your grandkid likes is dementia now?

If you think most people who have kids have that expectation, you're lucky.

What if your kid ends up not growing into anything? Becoming a neckbeard on fortnite and minecraft all day?

What if your kid has three kids before she's 21 and keeps ending up with deadbeat guys and living in seedy apartments and living off SNAP?

I want them to do whatever they find fulfilling

And if they dont?
