Ignorance can be informed its the wannabe USA nazis in the minority that worry me. Statistically they are mostly our age and experience and dumb as frik about politics.

In my 20s I didn’t either. I bought my first house at 13 percent interest. It would have tripled the original cost if I paid it out. Gas triple during the same time. That got my attention and put politics to the top. Paying attention enabled my to strategies my investments. And not be affected by repetition of that time today because people didn’t pay attention then.

You never fought for the freedom to vote, thus that comment. We are gonna lose our constitutional form of government unless young and old wake up.

Freedom to earn and thrive are critical aspects of what veterans have given to the citizens. One aspect. Well stated KARNUT.

Think you know everything? Well have a look at these.....

 

Stewardesses is the longest word

typed with only the left hand. 

And 'lollipop' is the longest word typed

with your right hand. 

(Bet you just tried these out mentally, didn't you?)

 

No word in the English language rhymes with 

month , orange, silver, or purple. 

 

Dreamt' is the only English word that ends in the letters 'mt'.  

(Are you doubting this?)

 

Our eyes are always the same size from birth,

but our nose and ears never stop growing.

 

The sentence:

'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog' uses every letter of the alphabet. 

(Now, you KNOW you're going to try this out for accuracy, right?)

 

The words 'racecar,'  'kayak' and 'level' are the same whether they are read left to right   or right to left (palindromes).  

(Yep, I knew you were going to 'do' this one.)

 

There are only four words in the English language which end in 'dous': tremendous, horrendous, stupendous, and hazardous.   

(You're not possibly still doubting any of this, are you ?)

 

There are two words in the English language that have all five vowels in order: 'abstemious' and 'facetious.' 

(Okay, admit it, you just went through  a-e-i-o-u  in your head)  

 

 TYPEWRITER  is the longest word that can be made using the letters only on one row of the keyboard. 

(All you typists are going to test this out)

 

A cat has 32 muscles in each ear. 

 

A goldfish has a memory span of three seconds 

(And, some days I think I  m right there with them.)

 

A 'jiffy'  is an actual unit of time, 1/100th of a second.

 

A shark is the only fish that can blink with both eyes.  

A snail can sleep for three years. 

(I know some people that could do this too!)  

 

Almonds are a member of the peach family. 

 

An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. 

(I know some people like that also . Actually I know A LOT of people like this!)

 

Babies are born without kneecaps. They don't appear until the child reaches 2 to 6 years of age.

 

February 1865 is the only month in recorded history not to have a full moon. 

 

In the last 4,000 years, no new animals have been domesticated.  

 

If the population of China  walked past you, 8 abreast, the line would never end because of their rate of reproduction. 


Leonardo Da Vinci invented the scissors

 

Peanuts are one of the ingredients of dynamite!

 

Rubber bands last longer when refrigerated.

 

The average person's left hand does 56% of the typing. 

 

The cruise liner, QE 2, moves only six inches for each gallon of diesel that it burns.

 

The microwave was invented after a researcher walked by a radar tube and a chocolate bar melted in his pocket.

(Good thing he didn  t have dynamite.)

 

 The winter of 1932 was so cold that Niagara Falls 

froze completely solid 

 

There are more chickens than people in the world. 

 

Winston Churchill was born in a ladies' room during a dance.

 

Women blink nearly twice as much as men.

 

Now you know everything !

    • not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...
    • First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.  
    • I always drive in Sport mode. With more driving, I am finding the initial response when accelerating is much quicker now🖕 Lou
    • Is it an optical illusion in the pic or is the truck really squatting that much horribly?
