Re: Screw General Motors (and any other automaker engaging in this practice)

You’ve may already have been sharing your driving habits with Progressive and Allstate and any company that gives you a safe driving discount , who back in the old days gave you a plug-in device, now they ask you to install an app on your phone (State Farm). My current auto insurance is with a compa...

Gender dysphoria compared to anorexia

Some countries in EU are banning various hormone treatments and gender changing surgeries for kids and young people. Many ways we admire the EU on many things, like their treatment of consumer data privacy. Many here think kids with rapid onset gender dysphoria should be allowed to have trans surger...

Re: Baltimore bridge collapses

Thanks for the anchor info. Makes sense. Question : when Biden promises the bridge will be rebuilt with federal money, I assume our effective federal govt firstly, or subsequently , will go after the shipping company who I assume would have insurance to cover the costs. Don’t stick the federal taxpa...

Re: Baltimore bridge collapses

Supossedly all lights went off on the ship prior to crashing into the bridge. Lost all power.

Question on TV : “why didn’t they immediately drop all four anchors?”
Maybe due to no power.

Hope the authorities get to the bottom of this.

Re: NCAA bracket

I don’t closely follow these things, but could they be mixing up east and west teams for maximum tv ratings and time periods and time zones across the different networks covering the tournaments?

Re: Angela Chao Dies in her Tesla on Family's Ranch Pond

Remember the Edsel? Pushbutton shift is not new. Edsel was before my time. I understand some 60s Chrysler’s had push button transmission selectors. In the 50s and 60s peoples brains worked more. Not relying on tech to do it all for you keeps your brain on top of things. Reading maps, etc. some peop...

TC Talks is correct that pure EVs do not have a mechanical transmission. Everything is controlled electronically.

Re: Stoney

She shouldn't even be there. She brings nothing to the table. I predict some ratings erosion for 97.1 in the weeks and months ahead. This. Sara was great, I never got the reason for the switch. Other than her being "hotter", but it's radio. She's got an annoying voice and just reads the news off a ...

Re: Gen Z ignoring hack Dave Ramsey

If you Google “Dave Ramsay controversy” you will see he gets in a lot of legal trouble compared to the average talk show advice host. It’s been years since I listened to him. He failed to impress me years ago when he said college 529 plans were not worth it. My own experience was that they’re a grea...

Waaaay back in early 90’s , from a third floor apartment, one could get Global TV from Ontario and they had maple leaf...

Re: 2024 Presidential Primary Polling Thread

I’d say it boils down to the results of swing states of Nevada, Arizona, Ohio, pennsylvania, michigan. Georgia and Wisconsin also.

All of the national polls are irrelevant. We know the red states, and we know the blue states.
