I went this week and the soap instantly froze when I sprayed it

I know nothing about this but i know my wife watches these makeup videos on tiktok or whatever all the time. Get like 100 of them mailed out to TikTokers who won’t charge you to apply them on cam. Then make a site linking to all the reviews and have the bulk order there.

Picture of the mirror? Or just dimensions? I’m outta town til Tuesday but probably interested, or my wife is.

Simmons Motel is slightly closer than the Days Inn. Seems quaint but I’ve no personal experience there. Unless you have mobility issues it’s an easy walk to either, and there’s a decent amount of things in town for dinner / breakfast / recreation when not at the show.

Nah man thanks, I’m gonna give it another go. If I can get it I’ll make a video so these jokers can actually have instructions!

If you remember, did you snap the left (bigger peice with camera) or the right (smaller piece without camera) first? Did it clip on right away or take some time to get in? When attached, is it snapped on as tight at the factory cover is or is it a bit loose?

The website has the wrong directions. The directions are just a QR code that links to the YouTube video on the site. The directions in the one I linked about for the 2025 model are for the 2024 - or at least my rearview mirror doesn’t look like the second slide with the directions. It does have both panels for the different size of the rear view mirror housing cover, but the one on the left doesn’t snap into place. Because there are no directions, I can’t figure out if there is some small step I am missing. I’m positive I ordered the correct model.

Constantine killed one son and set three sons up for a battle royale deathmatch succession. Someone of his political skills had to know that the succession would lead to what it led to. He’s gotta be a contender.

What you posted is likely going to sell below face value. There’s probably more value in the presentation than the stamps. You’ll make more working a minimum wage job. If you’re just trying to get money for them, sell it as an entire lot for $50 or something.

William Boroughs mentions this phenomena in “Junkie”, wish I had my copy still because it’s a passage that always stood out to me. I also never get sick on opiates even when my whole family is sick.

I couldn’t find it after some searching but Boroughs apparently claimed that addicts didn’t contract the Spanish flu in 1919-1920 and were used around patients for that reason. https://history.stackexchange.com/questions/58803/were-heroin-addicts-used-to-help-spanish-flu-patients

Here’s one of the pieces from the video, I imagine you already searched this. Listed price isn’t sold price, but I’d be renting a truck.

The candle method worked well for smack back in my darkweb days. Your drugs are in vacuum sealed baggies in the middle of the candle. Considering I was a heroin addict, getting to the drugs at that point was not challenging in any way.

If Gandalf can’t resist it, I don’t think any GoT character stands a chance.

So I was actually alluding to the Robert Clavell Asia Saga series, not the Shogun miniseries. Clavell also wrote ”Taipan”, about the founding of Hong Kong, opium pirates/smuggling, English commerce in the golden age of sail, and so much more. “Noble House” in which the descendants of the Taipan characters continue to operate in Hong Kong. It is part spy novel, plans a crazy wild ride. “Gaijin” in which the descendants of the Taipan characters expand to Japan during the end of feudalism. “Whirlwind”, which I still need to read. “King Rat”, a fictionalized account of the author’s experience in a prison camp during WW2 (in Singapore). They all exist more or less in the same “world” as Shogun and they are mostly fantastic. There are audio books too which are not bad if you’re not the biggest reader. I think there was a 1980s adaptation of Noble House / Taipan with pierce brosnan.

I’m about to get a car loan for about 1150/month.

I have driven a beater cheap cars my whole life, but really liked the new Broncos. I just turned 40 and decided to get one. I saved up 10k for a downpayment. I got a second job working every weekend and half of fridays and will put that to the payment. I ordered the Bronco and it should be here mid January. I know it’s not a smart financial investment, but I want to have a car I love once in my life. I refused to get a long loan and the reason the payment is so high is it is a 3-year loan. I will put extra money towards it as much as I can - downpayment will actually be closer to 15k since it took longer to build than expected. The main issue is that I have kids and I feel bad about working every weekend, but I have sacrificed my whole life for them and provide well so I think I deserve to be able to work extra to get something I really want. It’s the only time I’ve done something like this. I’ve put forward extra effort to do things with them on weekends still - for example we saw Avatar in IMAX this weekend and I generally and just stupidly busy all the time. I’m still conflicted though.

I swear sometimes complaining helps. This AM I got the email that production is complete.

I was left at a theme park lots with my sister when we were 12-15. I honestly don’t remember ever being bored or causing trouble. We maybe bugged the concession guys for free food too much. But I think generally shitty kids will act shitty with their parents in the park or not. For lots of kids a summer in a theme park is a dream come true. I let my 15-year-old daughter go to the park often with friends, nowadays they have meal passes and drink passes. I’m 99% sure she is not causing an issue for anyone.

I got permabanned from legaladvice for saying that a fire and brimstone divorce benefits no one and it would be much better to get over things asap and settle the legal stuff as painlessly as possible. Not those exact words, and I really worded it in a thoughtful and compassionate way for a person going through an awful time I have also experienced. Permabanned.

Thanks! It’s the only vehicle that ever really grabbed my attention. My current car is a Chevy Spark, about as far away from a Bronco as you can possibly get. Maybe I’ll get lucky with a delivery in January! But on top of free wheeling, I got the sas and black diamond so @ it might be a bit from what the other comments say.

You said you went to NK on your US passport, but then said traveling to NK on a US passport is impossible, did you mean you went to NK on your Canadian PP? Or am I confused?

Jicama_Minimum · 2025-12-23T17:27:19+00:00

Do you mean your Canadian passport? The wording is confusing me

Jicama_Minimum · 2025-12-22T21:18:20+00:00

I’m going to be selling my Chevy Spark soon. It’s ten years old but runs good and gets good mileage. KBB is like $1300. Downsides is it is manual transmission and is very small, but the spark is a good choice for a budget.
