Your first glib response seemed to indicate I wouldn't help. I'm trying to understand your bad faith mudslinging better, but probably should just ignore you at this point

And you're one of the 'All for one and one for all' Unions and Socialism people and you only GAF about you and yours?

Those mental gymnastics must be interesting.

Hey now, don’t go bringing the Uknowwhat’s into this.

If my brother in laws son was being attacked, I'd also try and help, but I'd be thinking "this should be #### the Dads doing" as I would get mauled.

If we're going to be judging people's reading comprehension, is that what you got out of 81MCs post? That him liking his niece's performance equated to not wanting to be mauled by a dog to protect her?

[White Out 403]

I may have misinterpreted his post and slivers response. I was gathering that 81MC, by his post, views his spouses nephews/nieces as being different than his siblings kids.

There is no greater gap in the world between how much I care when my children are on stage (100/100) to every other performance (0/100).

Seeing my kids perform is amazing and I love it. Sitting through the other classes tho….

Yeah and as soon as your kids are done this tsunami of indignation at having to sit through the rest of the performances just washes over you. Feels like an outrage you can't just stand up and walk out of there.

There are few things worse than watching a swimming gala. With heats and age groups and male/female races and disciplines, you’re there the whole fricken day.

If you’re lucky, your kid is racing about 1.5% of the time.

The tire pressure might be low because of the temps... but it's cold and I don't feel like freezing my butt off adding air to the tire in -30C or lower temps after shoveling snow.

*Start driving, tires spins more often*

I should have added air... but I regret nothing.

Folks most be on their holidays already. The usual slacking off at work group is away. This place is a ghost town.

Just saw Brie Larson doing a Nissan commercial. Further proves my negative opinion of Nissan.

Has a country ever revised their official language to include an additional one? The way the demographics are going, I think it would make sense at some point if the US added Spanish as one of two official languages.

Yes, South Africa added 9 new official languages (they now have 11) with their new constitution in 1996.

I dont think the US will ever be able to agree on that though.

My one tire, which is filed to 35psi last week, is now too flat to drive on. Happens EVERY cold snap. It’s not a nail or other perforation. Obviously tire and rim combo suck. Other than changing either what are my options?

Have you had the valve or valve-core replaced? Have you leak tested around it with soapy water? Still can also be a bead leak, but you can use tire sealant for that issue.

If they added Spanish that would bring them to one official language. A quirk of the US is they actually don’t have one.

Same issue here. Used to happen on my other tires but I got them repaired for $30/tire. Mine has been a pain in the ass for a while. Today was the final straw and I booked an appointment for next week.

Even having English added as the official language is to controversial for them to agree on.
