@il0venostalgia
yes, for sure. I am not against tech but it's moving too fast, and we are not looking at the ramifications of that. The smart phone is one of the most amazing inventions ever, but it is seriously hurting this young generation. As an educator I see it every day.

Respect for parents, respect for elders, respect for police and plain old common sense. Those seem to have been lost with time passing.

Don't be so quick to blame the teacher for not intervening in this fight. Most states have strict laws that prohibit the teacher from touching a student. They could be fired or go to jail for doing so. Sounds crazy buts its true

I am a mechanic and that is indeed very bad. At minimum head gaskets, but probably much more like cracked heads.

They were funny and great cartoons. Never did they make me consider violence. Even as kids we were smart enough to know they were cartoons and not real life.

I am not against electric cars, but as a technician and old car enthusiast, I am going to miss these beautiful fire breathing works of art and engineering. The unique sound and raw power of a finely tuned American made V8 cannot be topped.

Who remembers pulling up to one of these old gas stations? 3 attendants came out, one pumped your gas for you, one cleaned your windshield & headlights, & the other checked the air in your tires & checked your engine oil level. And gas was less than 50 cents per gallon!

My first paying job was driving an ice cream truck similar to this from town to town, selling ice cream bars to the kids. I was 15 years old & did not have a driver's license. Truck owner asked if I knew how to drive a stick shift. I said yes. He never asked if I had a license.

Yes, I think about that all the time. No seatbelts in cars, riding in the back of a pickup truck. Swinging on tree vines over the river. Jumping off rock cliffs into the water, roller skating on the road with clamp on skates. Somehow, I made and never even broke a bone.

Okay article except when I got to the part about jump starting a dead battery. Your article stated that once a battery has been drained, it cannot be recharged & used like before. It will need to be replaced. That is simply not true. The cars alternator charges the battery fine.

Commercial planes fly on instruments, it's called IFR (instrument flight rules) Small planes fly VFR (visual flight rules) but can fly IFR if equipped. Landings are mostly automated as airports have automated landing systems. Instruments are more reliable than our human senses.

When employed an automotive technician, if we had a day that was -15 below zero, that was a day with gas engine cars being towed in all day as they would not start. And then the diesel-powered ones would have their fuel lines gelled up. Electrics don't have this problem.

I had a similar experience from a student today. He came to me and said his mother wanted to know how he could improve his grade in my class. I told him simply to stay off his cell phone and his grade was sure to get better. He said okay. Did he stay off his phone? No he did not.

I pulled out a few of my old 45's and made believe I was back in the 60's and 70's. Life was so much simpler then. And a thing called common sense was still alive!

Back in the day when I was in school, this was our "google" If you were lucky your parents had a set of Encyclopedias in your home, if not then one had to walk to the nearest library. Getting information for your homework papers took some time, but it was factual and well written

I took my grandkids to a toy store & told them I would buy them anything in the store with one condition. It had to be made in America. After over an hour of shopping the only thing they could find made in the USA, was a box of Crayola crayons. Most of the toys were made in China

Love, pure unselfish love that has no earthy limits. Loving and knowing with absolute certainty that person loves you back with the same intensity and devotion. That kind of love beats sex and even beats a free Peanut Buster Parfait. But alas a free Parfait is much easier to find

I figured out how to keep the grandkids from eating all my French vanilla ice cream. I put the ice cream in empty Mayo jars. It's fun to see them get grossed out when the see me eating what they think is Mayo right out of the jar. Life's simple pleasures!

Just how would you change the system to keep that from happening? Only allow social workers or nuns on a police force ? Those rioters look for any reason to act out like that, they are not protesting a cause. The system that tolerates & allows this lawlessness is what needs fixed

When employed as an auto technician I once had a lady that thought the symbol for the fresh air vent looked like a purse, so she would pull out that knob & hang her purse on it and could not figure out why cold air was blasting in on her feet. She thought it was a purse holder.
