It's the Texas of Europe. Beautiful country. Clean. Low crime. Conservative values. Diverse economy. Beautiful women. Poland has resisted the mass immigration and woke politics of the rest of Europe. Also, they're tired of being invaded and carved up. They will soon have the second biggest army in Europe, next to Ukraine.



This guy knows. I spent much of 2023/2024 in Poland and absolutely loved it. Warsaw was neat and Old Town Krakow was beautiful but Sandomierz and Rzeszow were my favorites. A highlight of all my travel was hanging out in Rzeszow’s old square, watching their national team play a soccer match outdoors with locals buying me and my buddy multiple rounds of Zywiec.
Pretending this is about love is as tiring as pretending chicks can have di€ks.

How about cars with nearly 1000 miles of range.


I’m sure you didn’t mean to imply this, but just to clarify: PHEVs going 1000 miles =\= EV going 1000 miles.

Some of my neighbors have BYD, Cherry, and many have a Togg (essentially Chinese EV tech in a Turkish skin). Not sure if any have the blade battery tech but they ALL have unacceptable software flaws, underwhelming performance compared to the claims, and loads of cheap materials. Just like Tesla. In terms of quality and luxury, none are on the level the EQA 250 I previously had. IMO most Chinese EVs are like an Ali Express version of a Tesla….


*I have never owned a Tesla and have all ICE vehicles now, just drive and drive and ride in Chinese crap regularly.
This is why most Americans would never survive in the rest of the world.

Sort of correct. Statistically, a 2 parent home or a single parent home with the father typically have similar outcomes. It’s when a woman is left alone to raise children that outcomes plummet. Marinate on that one while pondering a court system that defaults to children staying with mothers…

Does Buy American mean American companies or made in America?

Driving a Mexican made Ford or GM truck is not…right?

Driving a BMW made in South Carolina is…right?

re: Les Paul model opinions

I am learning on a mint Gibson Les Paul Tribute i got for under $800. Doesn’t have a binding or polished finish but seems really solid and a joy to play. Much prefer the neck and fretboard radius/width over my son’s MIM Strat.

How is your progress? I recently picked up a used electric to last alongside my teenage son he got a Strat for Christmas so in the same boat as you.

I know it is legal but who on active duty has time to work a 2nd job? Are you talking about bar tending sporadically? 20+ years of service and I've never seen this.

Is there a more objective and impartial article from a source that doesn't use hyperbole in their fact checking? Which is odd since most of Trump's lies are actually just using hyperbole and generalizations to drive home a point that is true.
