I hate how Dallas is totally overrun by noisy backpack style leaf blowers. These leaf blowers are extremely loud. Every morning, it is pretty much all you hear outside. Armies of illegal workers use these to make sure that there are no stray leaves, or grass, and to blow a lot of it to the...

This is a recent reply from Bob. I am retired for over year already!

Also, if two of those guys in the image are taking a wiz on the ground while the guy on the right is taking a photo. Very disrespectful!

The digital IDs use a challenge/response cryptographic technology. It would be extremely hard to replicate a card. The card can contain additional information to authenticate you such as your photo. There is a way to revoke a card so it can't be used any more. These have been used by the US...

Tire pressure should go up as you move up in elevation. The amount of air in the tire does not change, but the pressure on the outside of the tire decreases. Tire pressure is relative. On my Jeep the pressure clearly goes up. If you adjust the tire pressure while at higher elevation, then it...

I can't believe that you post stuff like this in the "NOOB Friendly Zone". Were you born with no heart?

Hah! Well they do like to pretend like our "Real ID" is super secure, so we all have to have it to fly in a plane.

Is the "double tap on the mute button to keep the backup camera on" a standard Jeep feature, or is it due to an add on? This looks like an unexpected adventure.

Sorry, just a bad joke. 😃

Commenting again... Government employees and many government employees already carry digital IDs. Even retired military carry digital IDs so they can get on base and buy groceries. Other governments already issue digital IDs to their citizens. I learned more about this given that supporting...

Do they call it Real ID?

The reason I asked about elevation is that air density decreases as elevation increases. The main factor for a vehicle's fuel economy is that it has to push air out of the way. At higher elevation, the air density decreases on the order of 20-22%. To me, this suggests that we should see...

It is best to not forget that an economic downturn started under Biden and has continued under Trump. Trump was surprised when the previously reported jobs number were updated to really bad numbers. The employment numbers still look really bad. When people are feeling insecure about their job...

At least for Japanese auto imports I found this recent article: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cr70rg7ejdpo So Trump reduced the tarrif on Japanese cars to just 15% in September. Much less than a possible 45% (had been 27% after it had temporarily been a higher number). Thanks for the...

What part was "incorrect"?
