I wouldn't give her the satisfaction.

I couldn't care less about Taylor Swift but it's obnoxious that the NFL playoffs has turned into a version of the Bachelorette starring her and Travis Kelce.

Totally agree. So how bad were the attendance figures b4 this TS BS got published.

I just think that it’s nice......Taylor Swift’s boyfriend gets to experience playing in something as big as the Super Bowl. I mean......it ain’t a global tour. But it is still very nice for him. Hell.....having a billionaire for a girlfriend has gotta be a pretty serious ego lift.

If you have a few minutes this is scary, entertaining, enlightening, and a few more adjectives

In the tree-hugging Pacific Northwest, what happens when a powerful symbol of collective identity strikes back?

In a place known for lush green spaces, the experience of large trees collapsing on such a massive scale has led to a new anxiety in Oregon.

Hugging trees gets scary when the trees come in for it.

Yup, and I will leave it at that so it don't go sideways and get "political"

There are very few people I allow myself to get even remotely political with.....but you guys ain't a bunch of Nancy boys that get butt hurt at the smallest things.

My daughter can't read their stories but I can because I use a VPN and they don't think I am local

I guess the web address I cut and pasted has some kind of tracker or something

My sorry

i read it without any problems, it’s great article about tree hugging that turned into monsters when there homes got mashed. I love these stories.

It’s a bit like our ash dieback problem… they complain about healthy trees being cut down, but would also be the first to complain when it crushes/smashes something of theirs etc. . You can’t win with these woke-tarted people..

My daughter just informed me that they got a foot of new snow overnight

The city came out a few weeks back warning folks to get their roofs cleared off because of several recent collapses of commercial buildings from the 80s

They all had a certain style of truss that has turned out to be a real failure point

There were several collapses last year as well and sadly a death occurred in one of them and there is more snow this year

We’ve had people crawl up in trees so our line clearance crews couldn’t trim them back. They plant big trees directly under the power lines but get pissed when they need to be trimmed.

Same MFers are the first to complain when their power goes out because a branch knocked their wires down though.

About $270.
But, keep in mind that this is a current recall part.

Back in the early 2000's we had issues with the window regulator cables breaking in the trucks. At that time, many were under warranty. The regulator with the motor was about $75.
After a bit of time, and they started to cycle out of warranty, the regulator with no motor went up to about $175.
Then it jumped up to about $250.
Then it was again serviced with the motor for about $375.
Last time I priced one I think they were in the $400 range.
One way or another, the end consumers pay for the warranty, the manufacturers do not.

That's actually less than i was expecting it to cost

Exactly

As @Wonkydonkey said, total no win scenario with these people

My golden rule for power lines, "Drop it, don't top it!" Hell, on family member's land I'll go around behind the trimmers dropping the trees they refused to. An excavator helps with the kinda sketchy ones.

Those are the dumbest of our kind. I see it all the time here too.

There's a couple bigger half dead oaks leaning heavy over the power lines that run up my parents driveway.
Every time they are out trimming stuff my dad tells them to top those bìtches and we will take care of them stems.
Every time the supervisor says no.
Dad just says, ok, you'll be the ones out here at 3am when they finally come down on their own..

I actually got this off OPE years ago so hopefully returning it home won't get me sent to band camp

To be fair.....I don't like a lot of people either. I'm an equal opportunity disliker though......I dislike both sexes.

I guess the world doesn't want me trying to educate you guys

Please resume your previously scheduled viewing of the world according to Taylor Swift

Worked for me, just had to click the “x” in the top right corner of the pop up asking me to sign up or log in.

How much airplay would a song about someone peeing in her butt really get? I'm thinking it wouldn't be a mainstream hit..

You’d be surprised how well it would sell.

As an old, very non-pc biker friend of mine says, "Hey, hey, listen here, I like everybody. Even though with some of them it's dislike, I still like everybody."
