I agree with you wholeheartedly. I just thought it was hilarious that there was a class-action for the "chevy shake".
Aluminum driveshafts have been around a long time, and barring a major material defect, they generally don't magically go out of balance. Also, IMHO, anyone who runs a set of ginormous mud tires and complains about noise and vibration while street driving is a shiny happy person who needs to be punted right in the dick.
I've always run a good set of A/Ts and never had weird noise or vibration issues...
Y'all ever have days where you hate all of your vehicles?
Why is it so hard for spring manufacturers to list the spring rates on their webpage?
I'm trying to determine the best lowering kit for my needs on my Ram. I want a little higher spring rate than stock because I feel the stock springs are too soft.
What I'm afraid of is if I buy springs and they turn out to be the same rate (or lower) but shorter than stock.

Not since my wife and I bought a brand new minivan. May hate the payment. May be bored with the vehicle and wished it were a vintage Bronco. Never hated the car though. Those folks who buy appliances and replace them every 10 years know something.

My cheap ass TV can do a update and not berkeley up the network settings. Would someone like to explain to me why Windows can't? Or Quickbooks for that matter.
Every time the office computers update, the network goes off line. I have to go through and reconfigure everything. Every time Quickbooks updates, it forgets where the company file is stored.
It truly sucks when I'm two hours from the office and the admin can't do her job until I fix the damn thing.
berkeley bamboo in the butt. Trying to lay out the railroad tie border to the gravel driveway now that the weather is cooler. Im having to dig and cut out bamboo stumps, roots, and debris every foot of the way to get these things remotely level to one another.
Then i get to order a few more loads.of gravel to spread....

That's an odd issue with the networking. It shouldn't lose those settings (unless it is changing the network drivers).

Bad news: If you don't get all of the roots/rhizomes, it'll start growing again. Your best bet is to backhoe out an area ten feet past where it is now and put in clean fill.

Youve been here. All the bamboo is in somebody else's property. That ive cut into by about 15 feet of clear cutting bamboo to slow down its spread in my driveway.
If hell has a garden, its full of motherberkeleying bamboo.
I'm house shopping, and IL property taxes, what are you even doing?

And if you burn the pile of what you've cut, it sounds like a war zone as the internal hollows pop open.
Being allowed to work from home has been the single biggest positive change for my working life ever... and I just found out I have to move back into the office in less than two weeks. Well, that was nice while it lasted I guess.

I mean sure, that could happen. But it's like trying to shop for clothes online and not having the sizes listed.
I'm not going to buy your product without knowing the specifications.

We spend that money putting half our governors in jail. This entire state is corrupt as berk, everyone knows it, and accepts that we are doomed.

On the flip side, the corrupt governors actually go to jail, instead of not even getting indicted.
(Not pointing fingers at anyone. Just an observation)
Just went to go check the mail. As I grabbed the outside door handle to close the door, I felt something weird.
I look down and there was a huge frog turd on the handle. Which was now on my hand.
Yuck.

I guess it stands to reason that such a thing would exist, but I can't say that I've ever experienced frog scat before.
More importantly: what, precisely, was it doing to your doorknob for that to happen?

I’ve seriously considered planting bamboo in the back corner of my yard because the jackwagon diagonal to me won’t do anything about the creeping vines in his backyard, and I have to keep fighting them off every year. I just like my other neighbors too much to subject them to it.
How do you know what frog turds look like?
How would a frog even get that up there?
I have so many questions!
