I hope we end up with one of those awesome post-apocalyptic worlds like in Mad Max or Fallout 4, not one of the crappy ones like The Road or Threads.

Why worry? We both live in Orlando right? We'll be turned into radioactive dust long before we have to deal with any consequences of that war.

Older posters like me had those dreams before the Cold War ended.

And I dotn blame anyone having visions of that - but to be honest, I think the chances of a hot war with Russia with Trump as President are vanishingly low. Putin aint nuking his puppet and the chaos in the USA caused by Trump is exactly what Putin masturbates to.

Yeah but the CRD Grand Cherokee has got to be a rounding error in terms of Jeep sales, at least in the US. Do they even have any US-market diesels, other than the rumored JL Wrangler diesel?

It includes RAM. It is 100,000+ vehicles, which is way less than VW, but FCA also has way less cash than VW did.
Also, if they did it on the big ones, they may have done it in the small ones in europe.

So I had posted on Facebook trying to find a cheap desk chair. The metal base on mine has 3 of 4 welds broken, it's just a matter of time until it dumps me on my rear end. Which really sucks, it's a nice chair that's in good shape.

Someone that I've never met in person offered me a desk chair. We've been facebook friends for a bit, I went to rehab with a mutual friend a few years ago. Went over to get the chair.

"By the way, do you know anyone needing a washer and dryer?"
Me: Yeah, I've been looking for an affordable set myself. How much do you want, and is the dryer gas or electric?
"Oh, they're yours if you want them. Dryer's electric. I still use them all the time, just haven't hooked up my new ones yet. I'll let you know when you can get them, just promise you'll give them away instead of selling them whenever you replace them".

Score! Gave them a quick look, washer looks to be a late 80s/early 90s model, dryer is probably mid 90s. Both Kenmore, both basic models, both fullsize, so I know they'll have good parts availability for a long time, and I know I can fix them when they break.
