    Yep. They have sharp enough pattern matching to remember human faces. They register eyeballs = threats. Don’t stare and spaz out while doing so. If you make yourself a threat, gonna have a bad time.

    Had a nest over my door last summer. They never bothered me or my pig. We ignored them, they ignored us.

    That line was actually Trump being his narcissistic self. In context he’s saying, “Nobody knows how important magnets are but me.” And then he mumble fucks around about magnets being in everything.

    Somebody whispered in his ear that China halting rare earth exports is going to fuck up a broad range of industries. His dementia locked onto, “Magnets good. China has magnets. China no give magnets.” He then goes to mumbling how he’s threatening and begging Xi.

    That also explains his idiot rant to our Navy in Japan week before last. He’s explaining that we need to get away from magnetic aircraft and ordnance lifting systems and go back to steam.

    He’s trying to explain all this without admitting that he poked the tiger and the tiger poked back.

    Texas used to, maybe still does. You made me try to look it up and couldn’t find a simple source. Plenty of states use MRSP or some measure of the vehicle’s value.

    Back in the day (Tulsa, OK) my friend had a 2-ton dump truck with antique tags (over 25-yo), paid $20. Meanwhile, someone buying a super-light Corvette was paying $650. (early 90s money)

    I say go on weight, maybe some factoring of value. Registration fees are paying for roads, if your monster vehicle is doing more damage, you pay more.
