I'm having trouble understanding why a $100K Class A motorhome has the tank valves located such that you have to get underneath the unit to pull them. Is it not right inside the wet bay?

On both of my travel trailers, the pull handle has been close enough to the skirting that I could squat down and reach under without leaving my feet. Other units (especially 5th wheels) have it inside the wet bay right by the water connections.

It's all BS. Exposed most recently in court filings by Andrew Tate's attorneys. They're borrowing, renting them, or getting loaners from a dealer in exchange for advertising. It's all about projecting an image, not actually having anything.

The giants have always been respectable at worst during my life time.

There were some pretty embarrassing seasons in the 90s.

Republicans voted him in. Its all self inflicted.

Never forget that 1/3 of the eligible voters sat home and did nothing. Because not voting against this shitshow was more palatable to them than voting for Kamala.

This did not work for me. I had to lock 1Password, quit it and the toolbar icon/app, then restart 1Password. Then I was prompted to enable AutoFill and had the AutoFill item in the settings sidebar

I can't eat pizza anymore. Picking the heavy stuff up sucks.

But I got a truck. And if you can get the heavy stuff in the truck, I'll strap it down and haul it across town for ya.

That's the FDA. The CDC comes in once people start getting sick and transmitting it to other people.

New York has been putting speed cameras in construction zones for three years now. https://old.reddit.com/r/Rochester/comments/15rs0km/automated_construction_zone_speed_limit_cameras/

“Hated jazz” kind of papers over why he hated jazz. He was a racist and anti-Semite.

It was mostly to “combat” the influence of jazz. The movement to push it has strong racist and antisemitic roots brought to you by Henry Ford.

No, it's not MagSafe but it has two bulit-in USB-C cables plus one each USB-C & USB-A ports. Airplane-legal and it'll even top up a laptop (assuming the laptop does USB-C charging).

I had a /r/USdefaultism moment and thought "so you live in Groton" but upon further review, that's not a US sub.

basically no nationally mandated maternity leave rights.

If your company employs at least 50 people, you're eligible for FMLA (family medical leave act) which gives you up to 12 weeks of unpaid time off to deal with your own or a family member's health situation. Your job is "protected" when you use this time in theory but sleazy employers may find a BS reason to fire you when you come back.

But there's also no federally mandated paid time off. Of any description. For the past 18 months, my spouse has had to use their PTO for federal holidays like Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc. when clients aren't going to answer phones and service providers they coordinate with don't work. They also only get 2 weeks of PTO. Which was previously 3 weeks of PTO (which included sick time), but due to a state law requiring their employer give a week of leave designated specifically for health use (ill, doctor's appointments, etc. - enacted during COVID) and the employer saying "I can't afford to give you 3 weeks on top of the week of sick time the state mandates", it was cut to 2 weeks.
