I went to phoenix this week and stopped at a Taco Bell. I couldn't believe it. They have self order stations. Big screens where you enter your order while you're standing inside the damn restaurant. First off it took me about 4 times longer to order my food than it would've taken for a cashier to take my order. But most importantly they ask for you to enter your email address or phone number to send you your receipt. No option to print it. I opted for no receipt. Up until now I've been entering my phone number to get my receipt texted at walmart's self check out thinking, I'm saving that planet one receipt at a time. But for some reason standing at that Taco Bell, it just felt wrong. Now I'm thinking it's just a genius way for America to slowly Amp up their surveillance state. Everyday we lose a little bit of privacy in this country. All in the name of convenience and safety. What you reminded me of when you said nothing is free. Is from back when Windows 10 was released. Every single Microsoft operating system upgrade before W10 cost you a good chunk of change. All of a sudden after Windows 7. Microsoft announces that they are giving Microsoft 10 out for free. That threw up all kinds of red flags for me. I talked to other people about the fact that I thought something shady was going on and nobody batted an eye. To tell you the truth I haven't really gave much thought about what the play was with this, so I haven't figured it out, but I know it isn't nothin. Like you said, I heard free and I went into high alert.

I've got a question for the dems on this thread. I've already listed most the reasons of why I'm voting red these elections. What is your reason for voting blue? Is the right really that bad? What is it that makes them so horrible? We are living in a time when democrats of even just 40 years ago are now considered to be right wing extremist by the dems of today. That's when you know things have gotten out of control on the left. The right on the other hand is starting to look more like the democratic party of yesteryear IMO. So what is it?

Is noone asking why blue state governors are letting their cities burn to the ground? You all think it's just a coincidence? There are only two reasons they're allowing this to happen in my opinion. 1. Make it so unbelievably unbearable to live in these cities for democrats. So dangerous and dirty. That dems have no choice but to get up and move to red states. If there was a more perfect way to spread the woke virus, I don't know what it is. 2. It gives the top 1 percent the opportunity to scoop up all that real-estate that was left behind and trashed, at a discounted rate. Turn them into rentals. "You will own nothing and be happy".

🤣 wow what an impersonation, that was perfect 👌. I had no idea page was part of the studio version, cool. Just a happy coincidence.

My apologies for my last response to this comment. Took me 6 hours to realize that you weren't even talking to me 😬. I'm the one who didn't pay attention.

I was born in Juarez chihuahua Mexico. The worst of the worst when it comes to cartel violence, and i lived there. I have family that still lives there. I also have a friend that used to be a police officer in mex. I never lived in Texas, but Ive always lived in AZ, minutes from the AZ/Mexico border and i frequent Mexico often since i was young. So yes i know what the fuck I'm talking about. Had you even read my posts about México before you came in guns a blazin? What you just said is almost exactly my argument. I don't agree with how the left opened the border. And I believe the US should keep their noses out of Mexico. Relax man. Edit: And if anybody is wondering. My family and I came to this country legally. My grandfather was born in AZ. He was adopted by a family in Mexico when he was a baby. He grew up, got married, had 10 kids. His kids had all their kids in Mexico. His parents kept the fact that my grandfather was a US citizen a secret from him until his mother was on her death bed. After he learned this. He helped most of my family get their US citizenship.

Look man... the Mexican government is corrupt, the cartels are savages. There's a lot of poverty. But at least the people aren't ignorant to that fact. They know what things are, they talk shit about it, and do their best to live happy lives inspite of things. Which is way better than being blissfully ignorant like many Americans are. Here the US population prances around ablivious to the fact that their government is also corrupt as hell. Our government is literally allowing major cities to burn to the ground. Most Americans are having a tough go at trying to survive cause their money is funding wars we had no business getting involved in. There is a slight possibility of a civil war popping off here in the not so distant future. But yet here we are on our high horse. Talking about fixing mexico and every other country. when we can't even save ourselves. The US has never saved anything. They're locust, they take what they want and leave death and destruction behind. So believe me when I say, Mexico doesn't need the US to be "fixing" anything. We are the ones who need saving. People pointing fingers at other leaders/ governments like if our country wasn't imploding. And by the way is the US truly still a first world country. I had a co worker, that had the big house, the fast car, the boat, the harley, the Can-am, the toy hauler. But I know he was barely getting by cause i knew what he made. But he still talked smack and talked down to other people. Finally one day I was like "dude, I've got credit too. I just know better". 34.5 TRILLION dollars in debt! and people still think we ballin 🤣🤣.

Trampled under foot, led zeppelin. Can't believe it took me this long to find this song. Just came up on it like 6 months ago. My favorite zeppelin song now.

Amen to that brother!

Came in hot this morning didn't we 😆. Hell yeah! Let's burn the house down so the crack head roaches in the US don't have anything to smoke! Yeeehhaaa! 🤦‍♂️ Jesus christ all mighty 🤣. Mexico can't clean up their house ey. It's a good thing the US and Canada's house is so spick and span. And we got our shit together. Otherwise who would be the world's beacon of light 🙏. Mikeyyyy! You made my morning. Couldn't stop laughing.

Hmmm... Never thought about the fact that there might be more Datsuns in some places than others. I've been looking out for datsuns since i purchased mine almost a year ago. I haven't seen much so far in my area. It be cool to know where most of the datsuns migrated to and why.

Exactly Americans are the Cartel organizations largest investors. The cause for most of the blood shed in Mexico would stop if there weren't so many crack heads, meth heads, and stoners in America.

This is the best version of this song IMO. You could practically see the drugs, alcohol and his soul coming together to give one of the most powerful performances I've ever witnessed, live or on a recording. I miss the days when artist could actually sing. This man's got acid and alcohol leaking out his pores and he still manages to hit every note perfectly.

"Trapped" might not be the right word. But if there's a leak this could be a cause for air getting introduced into the system. Either way the leaks need fixen. The initial air after refill needs to be removed. And if it's been years since the thermostat has been replaced. Since you're draining the system to fix the leaks anyway and thermostats are so cheap. I would replace the thermostat. Which could possibly be causing the problem as well.

There is air left in the system any time you drain the coolant for any reason even after you top it off. Could also happen if you have a leak. After fixing leaks you can usually take care of it by topping the coolant off. Starting the car, Letting it run through a heat cycle or two. Letting it cool down than topping it off again. After that I will drive it normal for a day and check the fluid level again the next morning before driving. This is usually good enough.

You need to fix all the coolant leaks. Even if you top it off, it might be allowing air pockets to be introduced and to circulate in your engine. This can cause some overheating. Fix the leaks and try and purge the system of air. Replace the thermostat if you haven't already done so while your at it. This might not be your main problem, but this is a good place to start IMO.

That's a good question. I haven't really got into the main reason I'm voting the way I am this election. Cause Its going to stir the pot more than I already have on this thread. But since you asked, I'll tell you why I've come to the point in my life that I would vote for just about any clown that is not on the left in 2024. And it has nothing to do with cleaning the swamp (which I've never even mentioned). Nobody in the history of American presidents has ever really done anything they promised when they were trying to win an election. But yet people still fall for that bs election after election. In fact it has nothing to do with anything trump has said he's going to do or not do. I don't believe one man in a short 4 years can change the course of the Titanic(US)at this point. Nore have I ever believed that one man is the reason we are currently heading straight for an iceberg. Every administration over the years has done one thing or another to get us to where we are today. (WARNING: Dems read ahead at your own risk) The reason I'm voting right this election has everything to do with the lefts obvious push to destroy the minds and bodies of America's youth/children. The left has completely fallen off their rocker. They are actively turning your kids into medical cash cows. They are grooming kids to believe they could be any gender. And if they show even the slightest sign that they could be in the "wrong body" for what they believe their gender is. They instantly push them in that direction so they can pump them full of puberty blockers and sex hormones- 💲chaching. They then push them to have sex change operations as young as 13 years old - 💲chaching. Then those kids have all kinds of medical complications after the surgeries/medication that usually last a lifetime-💲chaching. They are allowing practically gay porn to be available for kids as young as 5 & 6 to look at in school libraries. They are allowing boys to change in girls spaces. They are allowing boys to compete against girls in sports. They let pedophile grown ups parade naked around kids. Why else would a grown ass man want to do this in front of children if they weren't pedos. They are slowly sneaking in the whole "its ok to be a minor attracted person" pedophile bullshit into society. Don't even get me started on the pronoun bs. They are trying and succeeding at erasing history at schools. If you don't know the atrocities that have been afflicted by monsters in the past. How will you ever know if history is about to repeat itself. This whole push to mentally, surgically, and medically castrate kids also falls under the "trying to cut down on the world's population" agenda IMO. I can go on for a while on this woke shit. But I'll stop there. I don't believe Trump is going to fix or stop any of this. This ship is too far gone in my opinion. All I can hope for is that he slows this fucking psycho shit down. The fact that the current administration does nothing to stop this and actually fights tooth and nail to preserve this trash tells me they are guilty. And to be honest if someone votes left knowing all I've listed above. Than they're equally guilty. Everybody has their own reasons for voting which ever way they're voting this year. For me, this is the most important reason to vote right above all else. If you destroy the next generation there is no future for this country.

Man I'm stuck in the middle of a royal rumble 😆. Can't keep up with all the conversations. Believe it or not mexicans are only a small part of what gets across the Mexican/US border. Every race that wants to get into the US goes through Mexico. It's the Chinese, Hindus, Arabs, South Americans, Russians, Africans and just about every other race that can't get in legally. And this has always been the case for most of America's history. And by the way your country's current administration and there agenda has blown everything out of the water. Can we really blame anyone one who sees the door to the magical land of Narnia suddenly wide open, and decide to walk through?

Your experience of Mexico seems to be border towns where the cartels are the most present and actively fighting each other for territory. Law inforcement and the military are owned and infaltrated by the cartels in those towns. I agree that most border cities aren't the place to be. It does get a safer as you go south but I still recommend flying to those destinations directly and not driving to them. US plates will attract negative attention. Aside from some police officers and the cartels, Mexico is a wonderful place to live in 😆. For the most part the rule is stay away from bad neighborhoods, which is the rule everywhere.

Neither buying it nor taking Mexico by force would be acceptable IMO. It's so funny. Do you realize that most of what you listed that makes Mexico and columbia a "bad" place is due to America's insatiable thirst for sex and drugs? The US has always been the number one customer of all that you just listed. So who's worse the one who's providing the service or the one who's stuffing their pie holes with it. No demand no supply. We just can't seem to break ourselves free of thinking America is always the good guy and everyone else is the bad guy. I don't agree with the open borders either. but no matter where you go. People will always want to go where they believe the grass is greener.

Have you ever visited Mexico and spent time with the people? Most only know Mexico by what traditional media shows them. And we all know all they show is the darkside cause that's what gets eyes. I've lived there as a kid and have spent a lot of time there as a grown up as I've always lived close to the border. And I can tell you that Mexicans as a whole seem to live happier less stressful lives than Americans. Yeah they don't have much money but that doesn't seem to lower their spirits. I grew up very poor but we didn't know anything else, so I was a happy kid. Most importantly we love our culture, traditions,and food. Ask any other race that has lived in Mexico for an extended period, what they think about the people, traditions, and the food. And you'll be surprised what they have to say. I agree with you on the US coming in and messing all that up for us.

Wait, what? I'm not sure where your going with this? Your pretty much agreeing with most of what I've said on this thread. I've said both the right and the left are equally responsible for the current state of this country. I've said that the US gov is doing everything in their power to divide the left and the right (divide and concour). And that the only way we get out of this mess is to unite. I've also said that even tho I believe we need a republican in office. If there were another option on the right who had a chance to win. I wouldn't vote for trump. I also said that I was embarrassed that America would vote a clown like Trump into office. So im not a Trumper in any way if that's what you're thinking. The left has just gone so far left they've done fell off the cliff. I've voted left in the past. But they've completely lost it, and have lost many old school dems in the process. And the putin thing. If you believe anybody who listens to what the opposing side has to say. Makes them a idiot follower of them. You seriously have been infected with the new ideology the extreme left is poisoning this country with. Believe every thing your side says without question. And call everybody who disagrees or questions anything you say, crazy and walk away. I'm not trying to put you down in anyway. But to believe every word that the opposition says is false and taking everything your side says as gospel. Is just not a good way to navigate life. Especially when your side is constantly getting called out for lying or leaving facts out to align with their agenda.

I don't think any of us has said what putin is doing or has done is right. What I have said is that Putin gave everybody a way out of this conflict. And instead the US decided to instigate the situation to further their agenda. Not sure how people don't see the US is equally responsible for the Ukraine war as Russia? Same way most people don't have the ability to realize that the US was as guilty as China for covid. Trump comes out and says "China is responsible for covid". And everybody is like "derrrrrr🥴 ok ". Am I the only man that likes a woman who has a good set of saddle bags? I'm a firm believer that if she's not 280 she's not a lady. 😍 I agree 100%. I've been saying this since the beginning of covid and most people look at me sideways. I've said this a couple times on this thread and Mike told me to take it to the conspiracy thread 😆. Covid was a way to thin out the older population.

Damn 😬!! Mine was pretty rusted up too. But luckily after soaking it with penetrating WD a few times and giving it a few light wacks on the end of the wrench with a hammer. It loosened up and came out in one piece. Maybe post a picture of what you're working with and somebody will most likely chime in with an idea on how to plug it.
