Lotta people finding out that AWD and 4WD aren't the same thing. I saw a Land Rover stuck in about a foot of snow. In my opinion that's a choice - read your owners manual, or don't.

Only on Bluesky could expressing concern over what's happening in Iran be taken as somehow supporting Israel's endless war in Gaza.

It's kind of funny that when a new (or new to me) PC enters my house these days, I don't even think about installing Windows. I'd rather daily drive Haiku OS than struggle with a Windows machine.

I got a ticket for having an expired registration sticker. Fine. Fair. But this dude has been parking with a fake temp Pennsylvania plate in his window that expired SIX YEARS AGO. Needless to say he's never been ticketed, and never will be.

How much of a coward do you need to be, to knock over a country less than 1/10 your size, with an economy 1/200 your size, and then strut around as if you're big and tough?
I can't imagine how embarrassed the military is. They still followed the orders though, didn't they?
