[email protected] (is not specifically for mechanical advice, but it's small enough that we'll help if needed.)

These tail light assemblies should be sealed plastic units (two clamshell halves) that are glued into a cavity in the tailgate. Most of the time when I see condensation it's because the vent on the inside of the cavity, open to the car compartment, is blocked. Less frequently the two halves of the light assembly are not glued together right but it can also happen.

Removing the bulbs and shooting compressed air inside for a few minutes usually dries them out.

About 3 million voters who voted in 2020 decided their vote "didn't matter" in 2024. Kamala lost the popular by 2 million.

Always always vote, even if you think it's pointless.

Take a page from the Republican playbook and just do it anyway. Laws don't mean anything anymore.

Wasn't the upside down us flag thing used by j6'ers? Are the line workers taking it back as the symbol of a stolen country for themselves, or is this Musk and crew indicating we're fucked?

Not by bullets they aren't; and we are no longer dealing with anyone who gives a shit what the constitution says.

I have mailed my state rep Bentz in the past. He is such a deep state lost cause it is quite literally not worth my breath speaking to, unless he decides to ever have an in person town hall out here again, in which case I'll call him a Nazi traitor to his face.

The senators I may still contact honestly, since you've mentioned it....

I dont have that kind of money and support network for a US house run, I'm too young for boomers, and I can't willingly destroy my personal values down to the level required to get elected to any position in Eastern Oregon. I'd have to bait-and-switch them and then probably get shot 3 weeks into my term haha.

Mineral rights and land ownership rights are legally distinct. How they are handled varies by location...

The concrete company, by owning the mineral rights, will own any minerals beneath the land surface that are enumerated in the mineral rights deed. (This could be a blanket deed covering any mineral of value, or it could specify only for a certain mineral known to exist there). You, by owning the property surface, own the surface and any buildings, utilities, and infrastructure such installed.

It is a two way street that from both parties. You cannot dig for the minerals yourself, as those are the right of the concrete company; the company also has a right to the minerals under each if they choose to start extracting, and you may or may not be able to legally stop them. But there are legal avenues to restrict how much damage to the land they can do, local environmental and right of way codes, and they can't just demolish existing developments if there's a house, roads, or other improvements on the land.

Source: my mother's family used to own a ranch in Southern California that was long ago sold off and developed. Her family retained the mineral rights to a few hundred acres of that development, under which was found some oil in the early 2000s. A smaller local oil contractor formed separate agreements with the landowners of the surface and to lease the mineral rights from my mother. This ensured them access to agreed upon locations inside the development to set up pump jacks on the surface to extract the oil.

The real answer is going to be "get a lawyer". You need to do a proper deed search to determine who owns the mineral rights and what they enumerate, and if there are any legal restrictions in your jurisdiction that can apply to the extraction of those rights. Once you know who and what, contact the owner of the mineral rights PRIOR to purchase and see if they have future development plans that might impact your decision to purchase, and ask for their legal department so you can draw up a specific contract that controls development of the mineral rights to eliminate future confusion.

My senators are solid progressive democrats so I dont need to message them, and my House representative already bent over with his asshole pre-lubed for Trump on January 6th and ignores all mails I send to him. Damn I wish I had a voice. Oregon moment.
