I'm having more car trouble. My engine was having a misfire, complete with shaking, bad emissions, and a flashing engine light. I don't have the tools to pull diagnostics on it and my car manual doesn't even explain very well how to deal with the situation other than "seek help immediately." I feel like this is something I could possibly fix myself (looking at spark plugs, filters, etc), but I feel sick honestly looking at the manual or figuring out ways to help because every car is so different. I don't feel comfortable trying to fix it myself because I'll likely forget a step.
I'd like to apologize for the industry I was trained to work in.
Don't. You're not the one making it.
You don't know, he could be hired to work on it and make the epic emoji cash.
Oh hell naw. I like money as much as the next guy, but my folks always taught me to never do a job I wouldn't want to put my name on and there is no amount of money that would make me put my name on that slow motion trainwreck.
Some chucklenuts is trying to convince me that somehow redneck backwoods militias would last more than 30 seconds against the US military in the "Coming civil war." Despite the complete lack of comparable equipment, vehicles, logistic and medical support, force projection, and force cohesion, and without the advantage of fighting in their own backyard - since it's also the backyard of the US military. He's currently trying to explain how none of these matter, since apparently Militiamen don't eat, sleep, or get injured and sick. And of course, he trots out the usual "The US military would defect because they'd never shoot Real Patriots!"
Yeah, it's pretty much a case of "Call me back when AR-15s and racism beat Tanks, Jets, and proper Training."
Dude's just a fuckin' loon, with a few too many viewings of red dawn and too many Jerry Ahern novels under his army surplus web belt.
I would have a bit of fun and egg him on. Tell him how one man can take out a tank easily, just look at Fast and the Furious 6! All you need are American muscle cars.
Yeah the "Coming civil war" bit seems a bit much. Wouldn't it be more of a revolution than a civil war anyway? The 2nd amendment is great and all but its not exactly time for that. Some things are getting worse and others are getting better. I wouldn't discount guerrilla warfare but what a lot of these guys seem to forget is all the planning the American Revolution took. They didn't just all get mad and one day run outside with their muskets and yell "fuck the brits."

I'm not, but the main advantages of that kind of force are knowledge of the terrain, the culture, and the people, and operational flexibility. When it's Americans vs Americans, that advantage is negligible, and their operational flexibility isn't increased that much, because they don't have the armament - hell of a lot easier to make deadly IEDs when your country is lousy with undetonated ordinance, unlike backwoods America.

For the love of god people we need to get tougher about distracted driving. It's becoming Mad Max out there and all we can do is just put out limp-wristed ad campaigns about not texting and driving (which, while a major distraction, isn't the only one people have behind the wheel).
It's barely a crime to kill someone with a car in Oklahoma...
Hitchhiking robot trying to go across the US doesn't make it off the Eastern Seaboard.
