Automotive Discussion / Re: I think one of the reasons is the new Supra doesn't have world class

« on: May 13, 2024, 11:47:32 PM »

I don't know... the Supra styling does not do it for me. If I had to choose between the new Supra and New Z... I'll take the Z.

I think this generation Supra is the best looking of all. I've owned 2 in the 80s and almost snatched a third one with a twin turbo engine in the mid 90s so I'm a fan but like I've stated, this new generation Supra needs more power to fit the Supra name plate. Same goes for the new Z too...

I mean back in 93, the TT Supra's world class power and performance numbers were on par with the likes of the base LT1 Corvette if not better.

Compared the 2024 3.0 Supra's numbers to the 2024 base Corvette's numbers and the Vette easily beats it..

With that said, I am happy to see that the new Supra finally has a manual tranny option available starting in 2023 on... :

"At least the 2023 model year fixed what the internet deemed to be one of the Supra's biggest flaws: It finally has a six-speed manual. The standard six-cylinder Supra is already a pretty fantastic sports car in my mind."

Bride’s fearless sister wrangles snake that crashed Arizona wedding

A brave sister-of-the-bride wasted no time giving a slithering wedding crasher in Arizona the boot.

Erika Rodriguez was celebrating her sister’s wedding in Florence on Sunday when a snake snuck its way into the festivities.

Video posted on TikTok shows Rodriguez, in an orange dress for the occasion, casually picking up the serpentine interloper by the tail as other guests watch in awe.

“Erika, you’re’ f—king wild!” an onlooker yells in the clip, which has been viewed over one million times on the social media site.

Grasping the snake in her bare hand a safe distance in front of her, she marches it away from the party into the surrounding brush, her other hand holding up her dress so it wouldn’t drag on the ground.

Here Are the Most Popular Baby Names of 2023

The most popular baby names for 2023 are in, and the winners are Olivia and Liam.

It’s the fifth year in a row that the names took the top slot. Noah and Emma slid into second place for the second most popular boy and girl names, while Mateo was the only new name to join the top ten list this year.


Social Security releases a list of the top 1,000 most popular baby names to celebrate Mother’s Day each year. The agency began compiling the baby names list in 1997, with names dating back to 1880.

Popular media has played a heavy hand in influencing names. The name Kaeli, for example, rose 1,692 spots in 2023, presumably following the similar rise of social media star Kaeli McEwen. Chozen, the second-fastest rising boy name, was the name of a hero in the latest season of the Netflix show, Cobra Kai.

The fastest rising girl names also included: Alitzel, Emryn, Adhara, and Azari. Izael, Eiden, Cassian, and Kyren were among the fastest rising boys' names.

The most popular boys' names included: Liam, Noah, Oliver, James, Elijah, Mateo, Theodore, Henry, Lucas, and William. The most popular girls' names included Olivia, Emma, Charlotte, Amelia, Sophia, Mia, Isabella, Ava, Evelyn, and Luna.

AND YES, also per the "legit" evidence below:

hmgrock you're the biggest troll i swear... i honestly don't think your online persona is real other than to troll..

Bro HR,

If you are here to help people, why are you the biggest troll in this forum?  In addition to being the biggest troll, you don't even understand trading.

Veteran who admitted faking disability to obtain more than $660,000 in benefits gets prison time

A US military veteran who admitted he faked being unable to walk for more than 20 years while claiming several hundred thousand dollars in disability benefits has been sentenced to prison time.

Christopher Stultz, 49, of Antrim, New Hampshire, was sentenced Monday to 18 months in prison after receiving more than $660,000 in disability benefits to which he was not entitled, the office of the US attorney for New Hampshire said in a news release.

Stultz had pleaded guilty to making false statements by faking the impairment that prevented him from walking to obtain veteran’s disability benefits, according to the US attorney’s office. Court documents show that for more than two decades, Stultz falsely claimed that he was unable to walk and needed a wheelchair to move around.

In addition to his prison sentence, Stultz was ordered to pay $662,871.77 in restitution, which is the total amount he is said to have gained from veteran’s disability benefits.

A year after joining the US Navy in 1995, Stultz suffered a spinal cord injury after falling off a horse. He was honorably discharged in 1999, according to court documents, and was rated as partially disabled by the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

In 2003, however, Stultz claimed to the VA that he could no longer use both his feet. With that, the VA rated Stultz as 100% disabled and increased his monthly benefits. He was also given a total of nearly $190,000 in funding for special adapted cars to help mobility-impaired veterans, according to the US attorney’s office. Prosecutors say that Stultz never used the adapted cars and instead sold them for cash.

“This is one of the most egregious benefits fraud cases ever prosecuted in this state,” Jane Young, US attorney for New Hampshire, said in the release. “The defendant lied to the VA for 20 years to obtain disability benefits he was not entitled to. He stole not only from taxpayers, but also his fellow veterans who were entitled to the benefits.”

Prosecutors began investigating the case after receiving a report from “a concerned citizen,” according to the US attorney’s office. Court documents chronicle how Stultz was surveilled on multiple occasions and recorded walking without impairment.

In one example given in a sentencing memorandum, Stultz is seen using a wheelchair while inside a VA facility in Boston in October 2021. After leaving the VA, he stood up, lifted the wheelchair into his car and drove to a shopping mall. Prosecutors say that Stultz was then seen walking without impairment through multiple stores.

Investigators also interviewed people in Stultz’s life, including previous employers and acquaintances, who reported that “at work and in public the defendant was in good physical condition and walked normally,” court documents state, and that they had never known Stultz to use a wheelchair or other ambulatory devices as far back as the early 2000s.

During the investigation, Stultz underwent a psychological evaluation in which he was diagnosed with factitious disorder in 2023. The disorder is classified by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders as a condition in which a patient falsely acts as if the patient has a physical or psychological illness.

According to court documents, Stultz has been in regular counseling since March 2020 along with physical therapy for several physical ailments. According to a sentencing memorandum filed by his attorneys, which asked the court for three years supervision instead of prison time, a psychologist opined that he “meets the criteria for factitious disorder and that it likely played a role in the alleged fraudulent behavior.”

CNN sought comment from Stultz’s attorney Dorothy Graham.

let me fill you in
THEKING claim to travel all over the state
says us midwest folks got 6 ft tall wooden fence
kinda like how they do in california

I SIMPLY TELL HIM
its not true and its fake travel
and that we don’t commonly have them

"let me fill you in" on hmgLIAR's LIES...

First he claimed there's "no fence in wi" then when other PH members that also live in that area chimed in about their fence, he got SCARED and back pedal to "rare, a few, "don't commonly have"...

The FACT is some homes in the "midwest" have fence, some don't just like the ones in the west. Here's a "legit" "ALL CATTLE" PROOF quote from a "midwest" PH member that really put hmgLIAR's LIES and ignorance to shame:

I'm in the Midwest and I love the 6ft privacy fences. ...So, yeah, I love the 6ft fences.

THEREFORE:

yeah i just make that stuff up

Just lied, dude

BECAUSE:

dang...somebody is salty

somebody's is jello.

all I hear is, "I'm jealous."

Yup, that’s all that is. Jealous.

THE NEUTRAL PH MEMBERS' WORDS, NOT MINE Per the "legit" .."ALL CATTLE" PROOF quotes above

Speaking of the neutral PH members, they even tried to steered him to the right directions but he continues to follow the wrong direction so meh...

HmgRock, you should post sincere, honest topics

"and i stand 1000% behind my word" as well as Reporter and other neutral PH members...

Is that you whole backyard? Don't just take a little section and claimed you can leave things outside... take a picture with you neighbor's house behind your backyard. Is it that you're afraid someone will recognized where you live if you do?

 

Dude's afraid others may see what his mommy's house looks like...as he still lives in her basement..

..when Hmong folks first arrived here:

Hmong American Day celebration held in southeast Fresno


FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- An event in Southeast Fresno was celebrating culture this Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.

Hmong American Day was held Saturday at the Fresno Center on Kings Canyon Road.

The day was to celebrate the 49th anniversary of when the first wave of Hmong refugees arrived in the United States.

There were food booths, resources, arts and crafts and cultural performances.

The day honors the diverse identities, cultural legacies, and historical contributions of the Hmong community.

It also aims to inspire the younger generation to embrace their Hmong heritage.

The Fresno Center says this is a great way for the community to enjoy Hmong Culture.
