All the stuff they told us not to eat in the 70s turns out to be better for us than the alternatives. Eggs, Butter, cheese...

I KNOW, RIGHT?! Eat like a farmer and work just has hard. You'll live a long life.

Well, I wasn't around in the 70s, but I guess I'd be curious what those "alternatives" were.

Recently I watched a reality TV show. They selected a few pairs of identical twins. Each pair was put on a diet of identical calorie count, plus identical exercise regimens. One of the pair ate 100% plant-based, the other ate a conventional mixed diet.

Long story short, the plant-based diet has distinctive advantages in overall health, mood, alertness, etc.

On the other hand, a diet doesn't have to be entirely plant-based to achieve such benefits. I always say we're all vegans to an extent. If you have a meal with meatloaf, green peas, and mashed potatoes, you're basically two thirds vegan in that moment. I think people get turned off by diet concepts where they have to be 100% one thing or another.

"Meat and two veg" That's what they say. Our teeth are not carnivora teeth... we are plant based creatures. Guess the Anunnaki used apes for a reason....

I buy the bread from the kroger deli; that plus butter, on either toasted slices, or a hunk I tear off the loaf, smothered in butter and nuked for 20 sec.

OMG! That is the BEST!

By definition? I would rather say by choice.

That's the beauty of it in my opinion. You're not locked into anything.

On a related note, I'd like to know when did going to dentist become more painful the ten rounds in the ring with Mike Tyson?

I swear I lose more blood at the dentist than I did in five years of working in the shop.

Do you use a waterpik?

I used to bleed easily from my gums. Then I started using a waterpik twice daily after brushing, and my oral health drastically improved.

OMG... My favorite Halloween candy! Best ever! You know Grog, you supposed to suck on them, not bite them.

THiS MOTHER FUCKER

Wow... that is what bit you? Holy Geez.... yeah, my words exactly.

I forgot my 96 was one of the "SVT"s.

I might believe that if you have an R code in the VIN.

Talk to Allstate and GEICO. They're the ones who say it.

You're fucked; you'll never get the computer to say its wrong.

Who cares if it's wrong? I'm not selling it so I don't.

I told y'all this on Tccoa years ago, and we talked about how there's a few that come up as this even though they shouldn't. I did it again cause I haven't insured or register the car in years and forgot it comes up as that, so I found it funny

 

[dDUBb]

The last time I talked to All-State was to cancel my insurance policy with that shitty company. Fuck them

I forgot my 94 SC came with a 351W ..

 

[Derphound01]

Active belts too!

As mistakes go, this is actually kind of cool. Gets your fantasy build wheels turning.

Imagine it had said "1.9L I-4 Engine" or something along those lines. Now that would have been annoying.

I just canceled mine this week and switched to GEICO. I was paying $488 a month with them and they were gonna up it AGAIN.

geico matched the coverage and I'm paying $155 now.

Thats how this whole thing came up.

 

[Kidd-7]

That’s a crazy difference.

And to jump back to a previous discussion

Oh for schitz sake... damn, that is FUNNY!

Mailbox broke off its post. It's been mounted on a crappy metal pole that has probably been in the ground since 1962. Figured now was a great time to move it to the other side of my sidewalk so now I'm digging. Dirt here is harder than a diamond in an ice storm.

Right now if I want to park on the street and not block the mailbox, I have to park across from the driveway across the street. This will make it so I can park on the street without blocking the mailbox, my sidewalk, or being in front of their driveway.

I have to dig as much up as I can, then soak the hole with water. Dig some more, soak, dig some more.... caliche is a b to dig through.

When I moved into our house, some DA kids went around baseball batting the mailboxes and mine was no exception. Cause I did not have much money back then, I used 2" PVC pipe for the post mounted in mud instead of cement. It's still there.

The PVC also takes the shock when the mailbox is hit and bends and sways on impact. Not bad for 30 years and 3 hits from DA kids.

That's what I'm doing too. There's gravel and asphalt in here too. I'm assuming our street was gravel at one point.

The easy fix for this is a mailbox made of plate steel on an iron pipe post. The first time their metal bat hits it, they and their orthopedic surgeon will both know.

 

[White Lincoln]

My a-hole neighbor up the street, put one of these mailboxes up so mailbox haters could not damage it...



Then someone ran over it. Justice is sweet sometimes.

We have not had any issues in years. I think the kids got caught by the police and that was the end of that.

Frack, you are hard pressed to dig an inch an hour.... I would use a large hole drill, augur thingy, about 2" to make a deep hole in the ground where you want the mailbox. Then drop 1 dynamite stick in the hole, no more, no less. Light, run for cover and then you have your hole. Might be a bit big for your purposes, but that is what dirt filler is for. Best of luck on your project.
