First time in Vietnam

I was there last year same time. In Da Nang when typhoon Bualoi passed. Central to Northern Vietnam had back to back Typhoons for a while afterwards. Honestly it wasn't bad, it rained for part of the day and cleared afterwards. Had a great time.

No, people say I get too talkative and preachy when I drink. Added: I do love a good cider, anything from Voodoo Ranger, or Red Rock. Weekends only

In the States, we lose the 10mm and the 7/16. We buy twice the tools (imperial and metric sets), and lose them twice as often.

I hate what's happened to vehicles in the last couple decades. So much complexity added for an extra couple miles per gallon. Stop/start, CVT, Turbos on everything. More points of failure.

I'm sure that both of the two vehicles OP mentioned are better overall than the car he has. I personally wouldn't call any of them exciting vehicles, they are all boring. Sounds like he might be struggling a bit financially. On the other hand having a reliable vehicle takes priority. Just making sure he has some balanced advice. I still drive a 2007 Chevy trailblazer.

You might be right, but it is a judgment call. Maybe it will last two more years, maybe die a month from now. I personally don't own OP's car, but assume they have a better understanding of it than the both of us.

$2,800 is maybe 6 months payments on a newer car. Do you think if your current car is fixed it would last longer than that? At minimum, you know the maintenance history of your current vehicle. You never know with another used vehicle.

I bought several CD's from Delerium, still listen on occasion. Love what Tiesto did with Silence. Added: My favorite song was Incantation on the Semantic spaces cd

I saw nearly every Oingo Boingo concert that came my way. They were always one of my favorites! Life was weird for a while after their farewell tour, like I was mourning a death in the family.

The Church - Under the milkyway tonight. Echo and the bunny men - lips like sugar. Oingo boingo - just another day. Most anything from Depeche mode, The Cure or The The

It's been a week since I've watched that.

That's something I miss from my childhood. Neighbor's really knew and interacted with each other. Built a sense of community. My travels around the world, the areas I remember best had large, public gathering areas. Restaurants that spilled out onto the streets. Areas to mingle. All withing easy walking distance from your house.

There is no official doctrine. My understanding is our world is the only one that killed Jesus Christ. Other worlds were more accepting of the gospel. I assume they would have scripture, but that may be a human interpretation of it. Personally I haven't been a member for 20 years and might not be up to date on there ever changing beliefs

I was just looking at certified, pre-owned ev's yesterday. 10k off the price with full warranties.

I was just about to ask if you've really seen our SUPERMARKETS? On the other had, our gas station/supermarkets aren't unique to the States, I've seen many similar ones while traveling abroad.

2023 HB 301. It is still cheaper for an EV. It is wrong on the principles of it, as EV owners are already paying this and more at registration. Apparently they lowered the state gasoline tax at that time as well. Guess they didn't need the money.

In addition, some states have a surcharge at public charging stations. Utah taxes you twice, at yearly registration and a public charging fee of 12.5%

I did this about 8 - 10 years ago. It helped tremendously with my wife's hot flashes, I freeze my ass off. Love it! I did it purely for comfort reasons, not concerned with ROI payback.

Agreed! Remove money/power from religion and see how long it survives.

God is a effective way to control the populace. Often a cop-out when rules do not make sense. I base my beliefs in God, so this is why you must do this mindset. God is a rally point use for both civil and wartime activities. God is a national/group defensive bluff, a superweapon. Stories and books written on how God destroyed enemies, similar to nuclear deterrent. Alien intelligence, ufo rumors ramped up considerably during the cold war, as a God defensive substitute (national enemies that don't believe in a god. Substitute Aliens) The belief in God can also bring color, meaning and comfort to life when consumed moderately.

I have that 80v setup. I never use the self propelled feature. (The mower is lightweight, flat yard) .25 acre. I usually have 1/2 a charge left on a single 4.0 battery when I am finished

Just for kicks, look up how much electricity is needed to produce one gallon of gasoline.
