@TJandCasper The door has open so long ,I don't know if they will ever be able to fix it. And there is one that is probably under cdl requirements to be stopped

Gotta love sen. Kennedy_" unless you were homeschooled by a day drinker" . Straight to the point

@hellbenthagen First otr truck. 1976 -290, Hendrickson suspension 156" wheelbase, because I wanted to go over the road🥴

[retiredtrucker2021 @CopyMack]

@adamlwingfield Definitely needs tweaking, 8 off duty in the truck is different than 10 off duty to travel home between shifts

@TruckerDanUSA It's nice to see someone use the engine brake where needed, not in town on flat ground then wondering why the sign says "no engine braking"

During World War II, Hitler was convinced that Americans lacked the will to fight and that any who did would be quickly overwhelmed.

When early reports arrived from the battles in North Africa, German observers noted that Americans fought differently from the Europeans.

Rather than charging aggressively and risking heavy infantry casualties, U.S. forces relied on overwhelming firepower—staying at a distance and expending vast quantities of artillery with little hesitation. Thanks to unmatched industrial production and logistics, fresh supplies were always available.

This approach allowed relatively smaller American units to wear down much larger and well-entrenched enemy forces.

In contrast, German and other European doctrines often emphasized aggressive maneuver and were sometimes more willing to accept high casualties to achieve objectives or preserve key equipment.

This material-heavy American style surprised many Germans, including Hitler, who had long dismissed U.S. soldiers as soft and lacking in fighting spirit. He believed soldiers were cheap and expendable; he discovered too late that Americans fought to conserve lives by expending machines and ammunition instead.

It was one of many reasons for Germany’s defeat—perhaps the hardest for some foreigners to fully understand.

Americans place a high value on the lives of our soldiers. Equipment and shells could always be replaced.

Paid protesters available, definitely adds a totally different light to political shenanigans

Remember the start of the pandemic?

Cops chased people who paddled in the ocean, sat alone in cars, or played catch outdoors.

Swimmers were ordered to wear masks in pools.

It’s important we don’t forget how AUTHORITARIAN politicians are eager to be:

"We're wasting food on cattle that could feed billions of people."

Gerald eats the following, in a standard week on a British beef farm:

Grass. Fresh in summer, preserved as silage or hay in winter. This grass grew on land that cannot be cropped.

Clover. Nitrogen-fixing. No synthetic fertiliser required where clover is present. Gerald eats the clover and deposits the nitrogen back into the soil in his manure.

Hedge browsings. Hawthorn, hazel, field maple. Things a combine harvester has never and will never express an interest in.

In winter, possibly: a modest quantity of brewers' grains: the spent barley from beer production that cannot be eaten by humans and would otherwise go to landfill or anaerobic digestion.

Possibly some beet pulp: the fibrous residue from sugar processing. Indigestible to humans. Gerald converts it.

Possibly some distillers' grains from whisky production. A by-product of an industry, converted to beef.

The thought experiment is: what else do you do with this?

The grass: you cannot eat it. You cannot process it into human food. You can leave it to grow, set seed, and decompose.

The silage: same.
The brewers' grains: landfill, biogas, or Gerald.
The beet pulp: same.
The hedgerow: same.

Gerald is not competing with you for resources.

Gerald is processing your waste, your margins, your by-products, and your non-arable land into beef and manure.

The question is not "why are we feeding Gerald?"

The question is "what were you planning to do with all of this without Gerald?"

@truckerpatty Interesting to look it up up and no company is listed in Chicago area. Makes one wonder if it's real or ??

1 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit there own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear

Socialism ALWAYS fails! But people don’t seem to learn.

“We always say, no, no, no, this is not going to happen here -- until it does,” says @GloriaAlvarez85.

She's is a Latin American influencer who gives lessons for the U.S.

[retiredtrucker2021 @CopyMack]

@miles_commodore Or go in to the trades, good money out there. Your right, needs a plan

[retiredtrucker2021 @CopyMack]

1 Timothy 4:1 the spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons

[retiredtrucker2021 @CopyMack]

@TruckerDanUSA I end up driving a 238 in the 80's, sounds like that just wouldn't make it up that hill

Houses of worship are meant to be places of peace, fellowship, and community. Sheriff Grady Judd talks about how our fundamental freedom to worship in America was disrupted this past Sunday in Minnesota.
