The protestors are delusional. They keep repeating the mantra of racism. Despite the fact that multiple teammates of his were also black and testified against the defendant.

Not to mention how weird it was for him to have a public defender when his family received over a $600K through a GiveSendGo.

And a bunch of people regurgitating the lie of “a racist all-white jury”, when there were 4 Asians and an Indian on the jury (IIRC).

Given enough time and appropriate ammo, JoeX could break the mower blade.

I was wondering if a ‘bushing’ made of something like truck bed mat under the mower blade attachment would allow for a slight amount of flexion without disrupting the integrity of the steel.

That, and maybe fewer screws/holes

His attorney was Mike Howard; a private attorney.

He has, however requested a public defender for the appeal, citing “financial hardship”, because apparently, there’s no money left from the GSG, after the $900k mansion and the Escalade 🙄
 
I took the Chevy with a heavy trailer through Wyoming. The Duramax did not like the altitude. I had to stop a two dealerships to get forced regens and map and maf sensors cleaned. That thin air was choking it out and burning fuel in an inefficient way causing massive amounts of soot. It was limp molding me. As soon as I got back down below 4-5000 it turned its own check engine light off and got back to business as usual.

Try Archoil AR6500

When I'm running it, my DPF usually stays at zero.


I use it to protect the cp4 fuel pump in my Ford powerstroke. The diesel fuel in the United States lacks proper lubricity for that pump

However, the increase in fuel economy, it actually pays for itself, it's a wash.

I promise it will help.

My truck never needs a Regen

Random question: what the hell is sliced, organic turkey made from?

View attachment 3205138

My wife insists on getting organic stuff for our kids, but I'm not exactly convinced. Generic sliced turkey tends to actually resemble poultry flesh and not....peppered styrofoam?

Not to mention perfectly round...

ETA: Those are all the needle holes to fill it with water to increase the weight!

The meat was most likely turned completely into mince, or even like a paste. And then it was bound together using starch or a thickener.

And on my end, I’ll add one more thing: very often, pre-packaged meat made this way tends to have a pretty subpar ingredient list and nutritional profile.

Usually, when I’m looking for meat, I check to make sure it has at least 17–18 grams of protein per 100 grams of product, and no more than 8–9 grams of fat per 100 grams.

If the macros are split almost half-and-half between protein and fat, and there are also carbohydrates in it (like, why on earth are there even carbs in there?!), then the product is basically no good. Especially if the calorie count is way too high for turkey.

Take a look at the ingredients and nutrition facts, it’ll tell you everything.

Look at the protein and fat ratio. (also calories)

And check if they added any kind of thickeners, starch, or anything like that.

I will try it. I did actually add hot shots additive before I left. My truck had never needed a regen in the 90,000+ miles since I’ve had it. Then up around 7000 feet up to 11000 feet it kept saying regen keep driving. Then it kept spray diesel in there to try to clear it. It just smelled like hot diesel, which seemed less than ideal. And it would do that over and over until it got to 140% capacity and reduce my engine power while trying to pull a trailer up mountains.

Like that kid that stabbed that other kid because that other kid shoved him.

And then he was found guilty for murder

Because that's what it was

But a bunch of people are outraged by this because, perhaps in their culture, stabbing someone for being shoved is an acceptable level of proportional self-defense

Whatever. I don't care.

But they feel the law is being handed out unfairly or unevenly. And that is ignorance. The law is clear. It was a clear-cut case. But people who have a problem with it, they have a problem with it because they are ignorant. They don't understand the law and how it applies so they are in an outrage because they think it is being applied unfairly when, justice was blind. But they don't see it that way. Because they're ignorant.

The word for today, boys and girls, is: "ignorance"

Just because it's sliced doesn't mean it's not ''organic'' ground and pressed floor scrapings
