Abraham Lincoln: There Is No Inherited White Guilt for the Sin of Slavery
2. I was happy to see that the Trump Administration has decided to “disappear” the stop/start automobile feature. Every time I start my SUV in the garage, my right hand reflexively reaches to the dashboard and disarms the annoying option. I disable the auto stop/start because I am looking to extend the longevity of my battery and starter since I keep my cars until they die. I prefer a smoother ride in the pimped out mobile I purchased a few months ago and my ass was chapped every time I was stopped at a light on Polaris Parkway, which is often, and the car stopped and then restarted. I have a heated and cooling option on my seat. I do not have a massage my chapped ass option. Several years ago, the wife and I purchased a new washer and dryer. The appliances suck. Instead of KNOBS, the washer and dryer have the new fangled touch screen buttons. The washing machine is a water saving device. My wife waits for the washer to complete the fill cycle and then she pops the lid and adds several buckets of water from the sink next to the washer. Once we got the water saving washer, I noticed my tighty- whities never have the skid marks completely removed. I now wear black tighty-whities. Six years ago, the little lady and I had to replace a refrigerator that rendered 23 years of unblemished service. We were flabbergasted in the show room – what the fk is a smart appliance? We just wanted a fridge that keeps the refrigerator cold and the freezer frozen and would last a long time without needing a service call. Why would we need a camera in the refrigerator – to watch the mold grow in the vegetable drawer? The wife and I are simpletons. We have a 5”x8” pad of paper in the middle of the kitchen table with a pen. If we run out of something, we add it to the Saturday morning shopping list. If we pull the jar of pimentos out of the door shelf to use, we add pimentos to the shopping list if we use the whole jar or do not leave enough to complete the next meal requiring pimentos. Do the smart cameras actually let you see every little jar you have stuffed on a shelf or in the door storage area of your refrigerator? “Keep it simple, stupid” is sage advice my father bestowed on me 50+ years ago. I desire to own cars and appliances that are simple and not smart according to the brilliant political ideological minds of the day.
Auto Stop/Start Is Effectively Dead
