Of my three adult children, only one has bothered to learn to drive. Being true to their Millennial tribe for sure.
(See online clickbait with lists of 100 things Millennials will never do which Boomers thought were important - tie a tie, balance a checkbook, have children, learn to drive, buy a house…_)
“Two manual transmissions” a really good description, actually, of the Ford transmission. The clutch has three positions (instead of the usual two: disengaged, engaged): Disengaged, engaged with set 1, and engaged with set 2. Set 1 is reverse, 1, 3, and 5 gears, while set 2 is 2,4,6. The transmission can shift really fast because when it’s in first gear, second is ready to go, the clutch just jumps from set 1, across “disengaged”, over to set 2. As opposed to engaged and in gear 1, disengaged, switch to gear 2, re-engage the clutch.
CVTs are completely different. They don’t have discrete gears. If you imagine a single speed bike chain going over the gear by the pedals and the gear by the back wheel…now change the diameter of the driving and driven gears. (rather than your typical ten-speed bike where you shift from one gear to the next.)
That’s working too hard! Just wrangle your way into the front seat with Matt Schlapp and pick yourself up a $400k payday!
My 31 year old daughter does not drive. She wasn’t interested in learning when she was in high school, and she then moved to NYC for college. She still lives in NYC.
With the NYC subway system, Uber, and Lyft, not knowing how to drive has not been an impediment for her.
True.
His supporters feel abandoned by the rest of America. They all seem to want somebody to take care of them and to treat them nice because they are white or religious or otherwise “special.” The last time someone took care of them was when they were in grade school. Whining is all they know that works to get the attention they crave.
In spite of the fact of being in southeastern CT, I see this at the store all the time through my cashier line. I also see the well-off Karens behaving badly to the workers.
I enjoy the work at the store just to be able to see, live, what I keep hearing about in the media. I had someone Monday come through my line that blamed illegals for the increase in measles outbreaks. 
I think the board (not shareholders) holds the vote to allow for early sale of stock. But the board IS stacked with mushroom suckers including DJT, JR, Cash Patel, etc.
I know this is (my least favorite word) snark, but did you have to make it read so real? You know, throw a little buffoonery in to clue in us literal readers?
Proof of guardian angels and a right good one at that. My creativity seems to be around finding situations where their help is needed.
Oh, that wasn’t snark. 60 years on from the assassination and there are still classified documents about JFK.
After 50 years, the only remaining reasons to keep something classified are nuclear secrets (highly unlikely), protect a source (who the fuck involved is still alive), or matters of national security.
Literally just the three. What in the hell are they sitting on that can still be relevant today as a matter of national security.
Doesn’t mean that the CIA killed him or any of the crazy things, but could mean the KGB did, for example.
Whatever it is, the government is covering up something juicy.
And same thing on UFOs. Probably really is just some really cool super-duper-top-secret DARPA projects and toys, but it ain’t lens flares and people making shit up out of nothing.
I am guessing I am older than you at age 68 and that I may have confused Bob’s Red Mill with Arrowhead Mills, located in Hereford, TX. I still enjoy their products as well. My memory remains good, but there’s a lot of data there that sometimes overlaps. That’s my story, anyway. Sorry for the confusion.
Yep, most likely Arrowhead Mills, which definitely would have been around the Panhandle when you were growing up.
I’m sorry, what?
Now I’m confused.
Recalls a dispatcher in Jersey City blowing a subway train past its stop under WTC on 911.
Saved who knows how many passengers on that train.
One can imagine the passengers asking, “Why didn’t we stop?”
