  • Don’t waste your money on an AGM battery. Unless you have a premium luxury vehicle (i.e. Audi) and the extra cash to burn, just find a decent brand battery with as much CCA as you can fit under the hood.

    Get yourself a 12V trickle charger. Most quality units will fully charge your battery and keep it in a “floating” mode to top it off, letting you keep it connected to the car for several days at a time.

    Thank you for your kind words. It gives me a degree of solace to believe as you do: I believe I gave her the best life I possibly could. I’ve made mistakes, but I always did everything with her health in mind. They’re just never around long enough.

    Thank you again, I may reach out to you soon. Her story deserves to be shared; she was such a strong little creature.

    Thank you, kindly. Your offer to help means a great deal to me, however I don’t want my grief to affect those in this community who are vulnerable to such emotions. I also understand it’s not the nicest of topics and most people would prefer to avoid it.

    If there is no current community for it, I suppose I may have to make one myself.




  • I concur, US federal supreme court judges are appointed solely by the President. This makes these positions highly political and less about merit. Furthermore, fed circuit judges are appointed by fed SC judges, so the whole federal judicial system is just political tug-o’-war.

    Cherry on top is a lot of civil judges, typically circuit-level as well, run unopposed in local elections. Their tenure tends to keep red-state law red and vice-versa. So much for US America being our self-proclaimed “Marketplace of Ideas”.

    I agree with revolutionizing our current federal judicial system. It is severely outdated and regularly exploited.
