I have a John Deere skidsteer. To even start the machine you need to crawl over the loader bucket, turn around with your back to the machine, kind of fall back into the cab to sit down inside the tight cab, feet on both hydraulic peddles, buckle the shoulder/lap belt, close the front glass door to access the ignition, toggle a safety switch, then turn the ignition key to start it. A fighter cockpit has more room.

If for any reason, if you need/want to dismount from the machine you must reverse each step to shut down the machine to get out. If you do one thing out of order it immediately kills the engine and stops the machine. Imagine needing to do all that multiple times a day or even hour.

A single seatbelt to buckle ain’t no thang.

***And yes, the machine is for sale…

Good thing I live where cell service is extremely spotty and has no coverage.

I want my next car to be an ev… but with manual window winders

Then Slate has an EV for you!

Yeah, just did that with orca Slicer this morning…

He’s most definitely a racist. But I’m pretty sure it ain’t about anyone’s skin color here. He’s being very equal opportunity.

He wants anyone that does not think as he does dead.

You’re almost there. Do the living bear responsibility “unto the 7th generation”-- to steal a butchered quote from the Christian bible-- for acts of the dead? Or do we all need to leave the dead to themselves and concentrate on the sins of today instead.

I never said that it did. But the European powers never stopped their genocides due to colonizations either. The apple seldom falls far from the tree. But the Europeans seldom get the credit for all the things they did to bring the world to this point.

No it did not. And I never said it did. But the actions of those Europeans that colonized the Americas, (and anywhere else they set foot), are still felt yet to this day. And those Europeans have massacred their share to children also. They just sweep that part under the rug. They even added to the lexicon of war by giving us WW1 and WW2.

They did die a long time ago. But the effects of their colonial actions reverberate down through history.

That is certainly a comfort to all those that died.

There would have been no genocide in the modern view if it weren’t for those crass, profit seeking, and bloodthirsty Europeans that invaded. They really need to take the responsibility for their actions. And the bulk of that genocide occurred before the US existed because the diseases those Europeans brought to the Americas that the existing inhabitants had no immunity to.
