Counterpoint: I played football (tackle) on asphalt playgrounds from 2nd-6th grade, then played both sides of the ball organized tackle for 7 years including a year as a WR at a Div-II school (also in the same era as you, when the high school and junior high helmets were 10+ years old and "It kinda fits" was good enough) and I never got a single lingering injury playing football, have many great memories and life-long friends from it, and would wholeheartedly recommend my 5 year old nephews to play if they want to. It made me exceptionally good at catching things with one hand! A critical career and life skill.

Note: This may only apply if you play one of the soft positions like QB/WR/CB like I did (and Tide didn't). But, football is fun and cool and even if you don't let your kids play organized tackle, there's nothing better than beating your punk-rear end brother/cousin/friend on a sick out-route to the pylon and your dad (playing all-time QB) nails the throw perfectly just as you break into your cut, before you've even started to turn around to look for the ball.

I absolutely loved football. I loved the contact, the comaraderie, the toughness. I loved to hit. If I could light you up, hombre, you better be strapped in tight because I'm coming for you. I am convinced my issues aren't from games, its from practice and specifically, drills. Oklahomas? Every day. Bull in the ring? Twice a practice. Tackling drills, bounce and thud drills. Our own variation of the Oklahoma was ball carrier and tackler 5-7 yards apart. Tackler on their back. Whistle blows, tackler has to flip over, find the ball carrier and tackle them.

And 14-17 year old me in high school loved being 'starter and team captain on the football team'. The Letterman's jacket. Cheerleaders wanting to wear the jacket. Little kids thinking you're cool because you play football. Team breakfast on Fridays and team dinner before game. Big crowd cheering when you scored or the oooooooh when you lay someone out. Pictures and name in the newspaper. Week long football camp at a nearby boy scout camp with three a day practices. drat good fun and alot of really great memories.

I don't know that I would expressly forbid my kid from playing, but I'm not in any way encouraging it. Plus he doesn't (at this point) have the mentality for it. He's tough, but not aggressive.

When it comes to sports and injuries, I think it's important to remember that a lot of it is a case by case thing. Some people play football for years and have no issues. Others play for a year and quit due to injuries.

It's refreshing to hear that parents are reluctant to sign their kids up for football. I was afraid there would be a lot of "well I played for Xmas amount of years and I'm fine, the science is wrong!"

Guys, I'm out of my depth here, I need help.

My wife and I moved to New Mexico from California last summer. She wanted to "save money" by not registering her car in NM until the CA reg was almost up.

Her car, at the time, had a lien with Toyota.

In January, we sent the request to Toyota saying we need the title sent to NM DMV to register it. They said they'll have to request a paper title from the CA DMV.

Then, as we're waiting for that, my wife decides to pay off the loan.

Now Toyota says that they're no longer the lienholder and cannot get the title from CA.

The CA DMV, on the other hand, claim they still show Toyota as lienholder and that they in fact issued them a title in February.

We sent in a request for duplicate title but CA claims 1) they never received it, and 2) since Toyota still shows as a lienholder it wouldn't have worked anyway.

It's been so long, NM no longer wants to give us temporary registrations.

So we have a car that apparently cannot be registered anywhere anymore. We don't have a title. Toyota doesn't have a title. CA DMV won't give us a title.

What the gently caress do we do?

I'm looking at used sprinter type vans and was wondering if anyone here has experience with them. Anything to be wary of or avoid? I'm in the SoCal market so rust shouldn't be an issue but I'll still keep an eye out as I've seen a some here and there. I'm looking specifically for high roof models and preferably diesel. I'd mostly be hauling motorcycles and maybe the odd job for old people hauling Costco items home for their sweet old person money. It would be used for the occasional summer trip up the coast to visit family in the NW, too. So, thoughts?

Edit: unless I have to talk about shooting things, then I guess I should add I like guns? Especially the completely legal, silenced .22 pistol I shot while up in Oregon visiting the in laws. So quiet we didn't even need earpro! Then we had smoked turkey from my parents who have a farm but they don't have any guns themselves. All of their neighbors do and occasionally they hire the kids to stay up late and shoot at coyotes and other predators.

Find an "interstitial" state which will let you register the car with random bullshit, then use that registration to register it proper?

When I hear these stories from the US, it makes me very glad for the DVLA - despite a lot of people bagging on them - actually being really easy to deal with for this stuff.

one thing that would be nice for us gun laws would be some kind of storage requirement like down here in aus where the cops come and check out the storage area with heavy penalties for not following them. i also dont see the point in having a >10 round magazine or a handgun although it would be fun as heck im sure. i read somewhere that the vast majority of gun crime is done by cheap handguns in the states so some sort of floor price on handguns might be something worth looking at. if banning handguns outright would be too problematic to pass (its a democracy after all)

We have a problem in that last bit because literally any excuse a US cop has to come into your house is essentially probable cause to toss the place if they 'thought they smelled weed'.

Setting a price floor? It'd be easier to just cut the manufacturers a check directly.

Pb blaster soak, then get the top two with a big rear end wrench. The rest come off under the car with an impact gun, flex socket, and extension. The heat shields are really the bigger pain in the rear end, but breaking a few of the bolts isn't a big deal.
