  • Nope. They’re headed straight towards jackboot dictatorship.

    If nothing else, Trump and his henchmen are proving day after day that the Americans talking big about their god-given Second Amendment right that keeps the government in check as the reason to own so many firearms and overlook so many deaths by firearm was basically a pretense: this is literally the scenario when they swore right and left they would exercise it and they aren’t.

    All a bunch of phoneys, is what they are. And they’re getting the nasty dictatorship they richly deserve.


  • I don’t have to do anything. I left the US and gave up my citizenship 25 years ago because it started to scare me when Dubya signed the USA Patriot Act and started turning Gitmo into a concentration camp. I’m watching the disaster unfold from afar.

    I was kind of hoping America would get its shit together, but the only thing Americans are apparently good at is voluntarily drowning in more shit. They wanted Trump once because they’re fucking morons, and they wanted it a second time after knowing exactly what he was and what he did because they’re fucking fascists.

    There’s nothing good in America because there’s nothing good in Americans. I should know, I was one.









  • Because a starter motor draws a hundred amps or so. The solenoid ensures that closing the circuit is done as quickly as possible to limit sparking - and also keep the sparking as far from the driver’s fingers as possible. Also, it’s closer to the starter motor and the battery, so the cables are short and don’t waste as much power as if they had to snake through the firewall - not to mention the PITA of routing monter copper cables through the firewall.
