New definition of "Engaged in the Business"

Re: Another mass shooting, apparently 14 young kids dead in TX

This guy makes a good point: angry young male shooters are often fatherless. Without a role model to help them mature, many boys become out of control dangerous teens. https://nypost.com/2022/05/27/we-overlook-a-significant-factor-in-mass-shootings-fatherlessness/ What people misunderstand about mas...

Re: Another mass shooting, apparently 14 young kids dead in TX

Teens do not have fully developed brains and often cannot deal with situations rationally. Legal age for voting and drinking used to be 21. Then they lowered the voting age to 18 (when I turned 18), and drinking age was subsequently lowered in many states to 18. I'd suggest we reverse course and rai...

Re: Heads up! Price increase!!

... the belt is starting to squeal when I accelerate from a stop. Belt & alternator are new, so I'm concerned it might be the compressor clutch. New belts stretch a bit. Check the belt tension. Typically a compressor clutch does not squeal, more likely the new belt slipping or possibly an idler...
