I guarantee someone onboard said something trump didn’t like, so this is their “punishment”.

Eweka is ~9 Euros a month:

Not sure where you got pricing for NZBGeek, it’s $12 a year:

According to my bank account:

Eweka runs about $16 USD a month (I also pay for the VPN), and NZBGeek runs about $12 USD a year.

Because ultimately (and unfortunately), manual transmissions are a dying breed, and most people buy the automatic versions.

This isn’t just specific to Toyota. The vast majority of new cars sold these days are automatics.

There wasn’t a single one in that color available anywhere in the entire Southeastern US, and they would not take an order to build one for me.

Toyota doesn’t actually do orders for the US market. They do allocations, and the factory just builds what corporate dictates based on market trends. You can fill out an “order form”, but the chance you actually get the vehicle you want is extremely slim.

Usenet is still very much a thing.

I use Eweka.nl (Usenet access) and NZBGeek (indexer). Works well.

Downvoters: You all know just as well as I do that this was no “accident”. Private equity always pulls this shit. Learn how to recognize patterns.

I live near SLC. Took a panorama of the sky yesterday:

No filter, no enhancements. It was worse in person.

Classic narcissistic bullshit. When you cause a problem, blame literally anyone else and never accept responsibility since only weak men do that.

/s (please for the love of god I hope that wasn’t needed)

Interesting. Hilariously, the CoC (heh, cock) is much closer to the original Mormon church in terms of practices than the far larger mainstream sect.

although, I don’t know any practicing Mormons myself.

They tend to be a bit quieter about their religion when not in a predominantly Mormon area like Utah.

Weird indeed.

Source: am ex-mormon.

Brighamites, technically. Because the main organization decided to follow Brigham Young after Joseph Smith was killed. The Community of Christ is the one that broke off and reorganized themselves under one of Smith’s kids. The whole history of Mormonism is insane, but morbidly fascinating.

If it’s the one I’m thinking of, that particular building is owned by the Community of Christ (formerly the “RLDS” church) which split from the “official” Mormon organization shortly after Smith was killed. It’s a wild design. I remember learning about it as a kid and being told that it was a “perversion” or whatever.

Either way, it’s all culty bullshit.

I mean you’re not wrong. Just playing devil’s advocate since I spent 30+ years in it as a faithful member.

I do not miss it one bit.

Yes.
