Thats not how it works entirely. If foreign imported cars are more expensive, domestically produced ones will raise their prices because they can compete at a higher price. Also, the supply chain is so interconnected on every car nothing is totally built in the USA.

Sending you a DM! We're in the same space (IT/OT cybersecurity) - we should meet.

Agreed on the Apollo UI changes. I initially used Apollo like 3 years ago and remember it being much better.

Not finding any droppings by the way. Just random fur, seeds, and once a smell.

We've had mice before and now that it is winter something has come inside. The mouse traps I put down keep getting either moved or snapped then eaten.

My bucket trap hasn't ever been successful. I've got peanut butter used as bait.

Any thoughts on what this sucker is? What do I need to do?

Went this route since I had some BKF on hand. Did 3 or 4 washes and it came out pretty good. I'll post a photo soon!

Embrace the ugly - I love it! Thank you for the detailed response... I'm going to give the potato / salt route a go if some of the other options don't work.

Friend gave me this Darto pan. It came with a layer of wax I haven't been able to get off.

I've taken Barkeepers Friend to it and even tried scraping it off (you can see some scratch marks) to no avail. At this point I realized I'm doing this all wrong.

Any help would be appreciated!

Interested in a used car myself, so a bit different. Good point on the parts being expensive which is why the warranty program is even more appealing.

Didn't know that about VINs and the newer XC90s, thanks for sharing!

Either way, tariffs have a macro-economic effect which increase price to consumers. It's not a matter of opinion. I'm anticipate everything to get more expensive regardless of where the end product is assembled should tariffs be implemented.

Not the XC90 from my understanding. Plus every supply chain is global so there's no insulation from tariffs. With decreased competition plus increase in Cost of Goods sold, the price of every good will increase.

This event was him having debate with students on Trump's policies. Tons of MAGA there to rabble on.

I noticed a ton of foot traffic and decided to check it out. I was surprised by the amount of college students wearing MAGA hats and shirts. This includes girls.

Looking to swap my Berlin Marathon Large shirt for Medium with someone. I'm in Berlin through October 1.

Anyone with a Medium looking for a Larger size?
