  • It wasn’t really a huge toll. It was 1 dollar a barrel, a ship carrying a million barells worth 100 million dollars of oil would pay 1 million. That is a 1% tax which isn’t that big unless you are an oil company that is used to paying nothing or getting a subsidy.

    I’m waiting for Iran to let through European bound vessels for free to set Trump up to order strikes on Spanish or British ships.

    Start up a whole new front where NATO kicks the USA out and blockades the USA from international trade.



  • I got very expensive prescription Bolle sunglasses, they were stolen from my car. That was back in 2004 and weren’t worth the money for something I wore about 4 times before they were stolen.

    I have Maui Jim sunglasses that are great, the polarization is excellent for seeing wildlife in the water. I only wear them occasionally as I’d rather wear 10 dollar glasses I don’t care about wrecking. So I have 4 or 5 pairs of different styles of cheap ones. Most important is to get polarized lenses, other than that if you go cheap you can try every style until you find the right ones for you.




  • Just want to add in a tip that I saw online that has changed my grilled cheese for the better. Instead of wasting time buttering your bread, just warm up the pan on medium with a knob of butter for each sandwich you are making. In the time it takes to get that melted and bubbling you can throw your sandwiches together.

    It won’t take long as you aren’t buttering the bread it is just slapping cheese (and ham) between bread once the butter is melted put the bread in and lightly push down to sponge the liquified butter into the bread. When the extra butter in the pan has properly browned then the butter on the bread is likely just as browned and delicious. Pull the sandwich out then repeat the butter in pan step put the second side down in the butter.

    My butter is always too cold to spread except for two or three months of the year when it is too soft, so now I’m not zapping the butter just to spread it only to cook it more. Better butter coverage as well.

    Also I used to think potato bread was best for grilled cheese but now I know roasted garlic loaf is the best bread for a grilled cheese.





  • He killed a lot of cars in great way. He had an 80s Mercedes Benz that he took for a rip around a gravel pit that people would play around with their 4x4s. He drove in literally into the ground. Cracked the oil pan then drove it out of the pit onto the street then called a tow truck.

    The tow truck driver spent 30 mins with his dispatch notating all the damage before he would pick it up, my buddy wanted it dumped at the junkyard anyways.









  • The inside cabin felt way bigger in the ioniq because it was built from the ground up as an EV, while the Kona had the same layout as the gas model.

    Without need to have space for the transmission there no need for that channel along the floor so the center console can be shaped differently and more floor space.
