Good point. EV can be more convenient, and plug-in hybrid gives you a choice you might not have had, otherwise.

30 years ago, quit using Jiffy Lube after the tech (1) took out a plug to check manual trans fluid, (2) discovered it was not the right one, and (3) jammed it back in the best he could. At least I got a free transmission rebuild out of it,

I'd forgotten, but Green Eggs and Ham and several others were my favorites to read to my younger brothers and sisters.

Long-winded article, but an important subject for discussion. A business which has draconian policies can go downhill pretty fast. Facebook, maybe?

Whoa, I didn't know! Now I'm wondering if I was told wrong 50 years ago, or if this is new research? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Well-Tempered_Clavier#We...

Love mushrooms. Love bacon. This is making my mouth water. Dunno what the problem could be, guess it just sounds yukky? If small amounts aren't bad for ya, I'll try it for sure.

Thanks! Still puzzled about the hole in the bottom - I wonder if it was being used in a business for some special purpose?

That makes sense. Note that he mentions the case is aftermarket (from Micro Accessories). I suppose the original case was just thrown out, which kind of makes me want to cry.

by jakzurr 4y ago
OK, I got ya. I was thinking stock components, but since the original case was like a "bread-bin", the original components were stock. Thanks everyone; that was really stumping me. Now I'm still laughing.

In the UK, does "bread-bin" (as an adjective) mean "ordinary", or perhaps "stock"?

Thanks for the link, the banner stuck at the top of my screen was killing me.

Metaphor? Doesn't matter, I don't think you missed anything. But I only managed about 20%. Seemed about like the normal stuff I read when I took a psych class. Funny, I think that was just about 1992. Anyone care to do a tldr summ

Agreed, "Dublin Whiskey Fire of 1875" or some such, would be fine. From the article: None of the fatalities suffered during the fire were due to smoke inhalation, burns, or any other form of direct contact with the fire itself; a

Also, per the Washington Post, on August 17, 2022, "No mention of the war in Ukraine was linked to the medal." A bit horrific, but then coming from Putin lately, what isn't?

Oh yeah, that was hilarious. But I can see some use in it. HN had quite a discussion on how the writing requirements would be enforced - I'm pretty sure a lot of it just comes down to Japanese etiquette and personal honor. https:&#x2F

This piece seems quite the overlooked gem. Or so I thought, until I noticed it seems to have been just posted today.

Wow! I didn't realize there were so many clever ideas. Thanks.

Known a few people who also kept spare bed (sometimes in same room) for occasional use. For example, if one partner is sick, if one has to sleep early for early departure, etc.

The document highlights an internal statistic, one that shows TikTok may, in fact, be for the Olds: “Most of our users are between 16 and 25 years old. 67 percent of users are older than 25.” Do they perhaps mean the statistics may be at

Disgusting, but yeah, I guess that's why purification is so important. And I used to love those fountains when I was a kid. I guess the sprinkler on the lawn was a bit safer, even if wasting water. Of course, if you had dogs doing thei

Thanks, and well put. It's amazing how people who think, "I don't want to mess up my body," will come to a different conclusion, once they are facing death or disability. Perhaps experience really is the best teacher.
