  • Nobody is going to "give" you a shot. The left has to take it. If they can't figure out how to do that, they don't have what it takes to lead the country.

  • If the left can't beat Democrats, how the hell do you think they will beat Republicans?

  • The reason is irrelevant to the point that current Democrats are the same as 1980s Republicans. That is just false.

  • Ah yes, 1980s Republicans were famous for their support of gay marriage and their compassionate take on the AIDS epidemic.

    Do you people even think about these bogus claims before you repeat them?

  • There is no way to get a majority without including moderates. Never has been, never will be. (At least until we we get rid of FPTP voting which will only happen through Democrats).

  • Ideological purity tests are not something we can afford if we are going to try and take majority control and actually progress a sane agenda. We would lose this vote even if 100% of Dems vote against it.

  • Ah, yes. Hand the Republicans even more of a voting advantage. That will help.

  • Whats the hardest days work you've had?

    Jump

  • I ran a drill rig for soil sampling for a few years. One day it was 100F outside and we had to drill inside a drycleaners. They had dryers and steam presses going , so it was a humid 130F inside. We used a remote drill rig which required running 100 lb hydraulic lines from the truck outside. These lines got so hot you couldn't touch them with a bare hand. So imagine trying to move these heavy as hell lines without them touching bare skin and while having to shift your hands around constantly to avoid burns.

    That ties for worst with the day we drilled at a gas station in a farm field in the middle of nowhere where it was -20F not counting the wind chill. The thing about soil sampling for contaminants is you have to wash the drill between holes. At those temperatures everything froze instantly and the machinery kept locking up with ice. It took us 8 hours to do what would normally take 2. And then we got a flat tire driving back...

  • They make these things that are basically long zip ties with nubs on them that you can strap to your tires. They are supposed to give you traction in a pinch. A bit late for this storm, but it wouldn't be bad to have in your trunk for an emergency. I haven't tried them myself I admit, but it has to be better than nothing.

    • turn off traction control

    In some cars to turn off the traction control and ABS, you have to push and hold the button on the dash (usually depicted with a wheel and two squiggly lines). You will know it is off if the ABS and/or TCS alert lights appear on the dashboard.
