Just grab one and head over to any hardware store. For instance, check out somewhere like:

Man, I didn't even think of that. 😵

You can find pre-made kits or sets specifically for your laptop model, though that’ll probably cost you more.

I guess I'd rather just hit up a local shop, grab what I need, and be done with it. So, I'll probably go with that first option.

Thanks.

Honestly, I think it comes down to how you were raised. You grab the wheel when you've been drinking? For God's sake, just take an Uber! It's all we ever read about in the news—alcohol being the cause of accidents. Is it really that hard to call a cab or just hang out with people who don't drink?

Paul Sanders5 said:I’m looking at yet another wreck with three people dead and I’ve come to a pretty simple conclusion: fatalities would drop by like 90% if we just banned the sale of the BMW 3 Series and maybe the 4 Series too. These things are basically just death traps on wheels that some idiots buy for a few grand from a dealer in Germany just to write their own obituaries.

I’m not talking about the 5 Series or an X5 or whatever—those things cost like $100k anyway. People driving those aren't out there doing 120 mph on backroads; it’s always the cheaper, more accessible models causing the chaos.

Patrick Martin said:Man, seriously, my dear colleague, what kind of nonsense are you spewing here? For God's sake.

Aren't you embarrassed, trying to dump all the blame and baggage from those political dinosaurs (Eric Adams, Mamić) onto the President? Where was this "brilliant and honest" Joe Biden when he actually held power? What did he actually do? Why wasn't HE shutting them down back then when he was supposedly so damn smart?

Look, she simply HAS to cooperate with the legally elected (and unconvicted) Mayor. I mean, what would it even look like if they were constantly undermining each other? What would international delegations think when they visit Washington, D.C.? It would be a total circus. That kind of dysfunction just isn't viable in a real government.

You guys are all such massive hypocrites and honestly don't have the slightest clue how a country actually functions.

Now suddenly it's all her fault? Where the hell were you all all this time?

brightpilot6 said:If we were talking about the version of Kolinda who actually went toe-to-toe with Ivo Josipović—someone whose speech felt more organic and healthy, lacking those artificial stretches like "the peoople" or "the natiooon" 🤦—I probably wouldn't care nearly as much; honestly, I was pretty indifferent between her and Josipović back then. At the time, I viewed her as one of the better Hadeževač types, someone whose time spent working abroad had somehow instilled a sense of dignity, poise, and actual style. I even welcomed a bit of her fire and optimism compared to how overly cautious and elitist Josipović seemed to be.

But because of this blatant brown-nosing toward the top criminal elements and those bizarre outbursts in her behavior—whether they stem from an illness, substance issues, stress, or something else entirely, it hardly matters—she just isn't that same politician or even the same person anymore. Can someone who acts the way she did in Chicago really be trusted to command the military or oversee our intelligence agencies? How can you reconcile the need for absolute secrecy in investigations with her cozy relationship with criminals, all while she’s simultaneously tasked with supervising the very people doing the wiretapping?

Paul Sanders5 said:Lol about Milan Bandić getting kicked out of the Democratic Party 🤣 yeah, Zoki finally realized just how much of a disaster Milan was and decided it was time to cut him loose 🙏
I remember being just a kid back in my small hometown, and even then, Milan Bandić was already acting exactly like he does today—totally unchanged. His whole playbook stays the same. He brought in all that money for the Democratic Party in Washington, D.C., and that’s the only reason they didn't toss him out sooner. It wasn't until he had the nerve to run for President that they absolutely crushed him. By then, it was too late; the guy had already built such a massive web of influence that he could stay in power as long as he damn well pleased. And honestly? You can thank Zoki for that.

So yeah, Zoran is just like everyone else—actually, maybe worse, because he basically held the ladder for a guy who basically controlled the most important city in the entire country. He covered for him on purpose because it kept the perks coming.
And why was he the absolute worst Prime Minister? Look at his economic policies, look at the crowd of people he surrounded himself with to draft them... I mean, seriously, these are people whose biggest achievement was fixing up Marshall's old boat in some random city.

So yeah, Zoki, suck it. Sending kisses from my ski trip 👋

Paul Sanders5 said:They aren't selling Barbika to me as some kind of messiah coming to save us, especially when they conveniently ignore the fact that the guy has already been in power before.

Man, if you didn't know anything about them—if their resumes were just handed to you out of nowhere—you wouldn't even be able to tell who is who 😂 because they’re essentially the same. That's why I don't buy this whole "choosing the lesser of two evils" hype. No, you don't "choose." If neither of them works for you, you just skip the election entirely.

Paul Sanders5 sleeps like a baby because he hasn't spent his life voting for either the Republican Party or the Democratic Party. How many times has Zoki voted for Milan Bandić? Like, maybe four times, brother to brother, at most. 😂

ruggedjackal46 said:Imagine if this whole "freedom of expression" logic actually applied to everything in life. You walk into a clinic for a checkup, and while the doctor is checking your vitals and blood pressure, they suddenly pivot to telling you why you absolutely have to vote for the Republican Party. You stop by a convenience store, and the cashier looks you dead in the eye and insists you should support Bandić. You hop on a bus, and the driver starts broadcasting their unsolicited political takes over the intercom. Or better yet, a cop pulls you over, asks for your ID, and then sighs, "Honestly, only Plenković can save us now."

But hey, people are just sharing their opinions, right?
