I've already said she was stupid to carry the hash oil in Russia. She is by no means the first (or last I'm sure) to spend time in a foreign jail. A friend had 2 years in a Moroccan jail & was...

I'd probably go too - however she may have had a contract.

In fairness, she was there before Russia invaded Ukraine.

A lot a US women play in Russia & have for years.

Very cool. However, I tuned into an Auckland NZ station & they were playing Petty's "American Girl"... :)

That's tempting, but since I'm sure we're on the same page, I can just get started all on my own. ;)

Prezactly - what a moron he is.



Unless you're self-employed - then you pay 100%.

Is he really so stupid that he doesn't understand how Social Security works? If he gets his way, is he going to refund every dime everyone's put into SS?

Astounding...

What a cool boat!

eBay has tons of bronze (which is what I think you pic is) hardware, but it takes a while to sort though it, Here's a search for "bronze" in boat parts (it's a lot of stuff!) ...

Yep - a bunch more. Especially when you try to actually get insurance for the boat. Because Neoga is 52 ft, no one I've found will insure her for anything other than general liability. Seems the...

Jim nails it!

Slacko's idea of same tape isn't bad one - unless you don't have time for the lengthy install...

On this one, about 5 or 6 Chris...

Forgive me for using the term, but this is the nanny state in action. IMO, if you can't handle it, don't buy it. I'll use my boat as an example, as it'd fall...

At least he's unlikely to get eclampsia...

Whatever happened to caveat emptor? Or personal responsibility? Stoopid.

When I sell a car, it is sold "As is, where is, and carries no warranty expressed or implied". I've also added "This...

Wikipedia is very useful, but needs to be taken with a grain of salt - as there are definitely inaccuracies & bias.

The Bilge is remarkable as the knowledge base here is broad. I wish it were...

Hmmm... I've always heard that horses were a pain in the neck...

Friends want to build a house & so are actively looking into costs here in VT. New construction is 200-250/sq ft Manufactured is 150 for bottom end - can get up to 200. Manufactured is often lower...

So that's what really, really old tapioca looks like!

Well done sir!

Sorry you feel that way George. I hugely (bigly even) disagree with Boatbum on it's being a state issue. However, I'd be interested to learn why he feels that it is. Dismissing what he says as...

Is it "claptrap"? Or is it a viewpoint you simply disagree with? I strongly disagree with his viewpoint on this, but dismissing it as "claptrap" does nothing to promote any sort of discussion.

Friends bring it to 'em? :)

Dogfish has been around a long time & has become a regional brewery. For example, it's available in most every store here in Vermont - though the 90 minute is...

The guy just went with the name beers. Heady isn't even close to the best beer (much less IPA) in VT. I brought a 4 pack o Heady to the sugarhouse this spring & the comment was "It's OK". In fact,...

Bummer Rich! Get well soon.

I don't remember how many 122, 145, & 245 Volvo wagons I've owned. 10? 15? Maybe more. I used to buy broken ones, fix 'em, drive 'em a few months & then sell 'em at a profit.



Saab too came...

Maybe they are. In our situation, we had our experimental car go in for the EPA mileage/emissions cycle. Because it was experimental, there were dozens of adjustments possible. Before we took it...

What BS. Sorry Emily!

I'm "assisting" on a Comcast install at my ex-wife's house on Tuesday. We'll see how that goes.

One of my favorites was the magnetic fuel line: put this $100 sleeve filled with magnets over your fuel line (yes, even a steel one) & the magnets will align the gas molecules so it burns more...

I don't believe anyone here has said they think the sentence she got was just, fair, or right. What's being said is that it's well known (& ignorance of the law is not an excuse anyway) that Russia...

While it seems this group has insisted that a "shooting brake" must have only 2 side doors, for practicality, I'll take a 4 door every time. 1) I put stuff on the driver's side back seat all the...

While I agree on the moralizing, Russia ain't the US & (as I mentioned) has gone over the top in the past. Especially now with Putin looking for leverage - it's very different from what happens here...

Was it politically motivated? Of course. Was she stoopid to carry any THC product in Russia? Same answer.

Back in the late 60's my cousin had a contest with his brother (who was in the Navy) on...

That isn't the message I got at all. If they can sell $100/barrel oil @ $2.50 & make a profit, why is it over double the price now. Only answer is that they are making more money. This is the...

I'm loving this trip through your beautiful country & your eclectic past. One of these years I'm gonna go see for myself. Thing is, I keep saying it & not doing it. Gotta figure that out.

I have to admit that my 15 YO self found the meritocracy concept appealing. By the time I was 18, I'd figured out what utter hogwash Ms. Rand was spewing.

What can I say, it's been a long strange...

The A4's 33-35 is on regular. My friend's Volvo is a turbo. Surprised it's that different though.

Commuting by choice is one thing (I grew up in Fairfield County, so I know commuting) - but commuting because of affordability is a different situation.

Dire Straits - not even vaguely close.

Not that I have an opinion fo course...

I wish that were my neighborhood! At least I wouldn't have to wear a cardigan...

Neither of these are bad jokes - just had to say it.

Login required - bummer!

That is a beauty! I love the runabout style of the 2 cockpits.

If the rack lives on the car & the car lives outside, I'd think carpet would hold moisture & create rot.

The closed cell foam Dave recommends seem as though it'd work - as long as it's slippery...

Beautiful women playing great guitar & singing with wonderful voices - what's not to like?

Ever tried to get a tax increase through in a town or small city? Not that paying them more isn't the best solution, but ascribing the lower pay to not wanting town employees to live in the town is...

Nice!

This loosely correlates with internet purchasing: local stores have to compete with Amazon er al.

As a software developer, I've worked remotely for many years. 40 years ago, I'd save my changes...

It's not just homeowners - it's teachers, police, you name it who often cannot afford to live in the town in which they work.

Very similar - though, not being in the business, I'm not privy to exact #'s.

Vermont does not have a lot of investment company purchases, but we do have a lot going to 2nd homes, The...

When adjusted to US $ - pretty similar on the lower end. Residential plumbers (IOW - repair, not new construction) are getting at least $100/hr here + $150+ service fee on top of it. A neighbor...
