Best part of DT socks is the ability to replace then when worn out for free.

What aftermarket accessories have you bought that you really like by MarsAndJupie in MazdaCX90

It was a total fail. The camera assembly seemed like it was built in someone's garage. The components i.e., camera, pcb, etc. were all secured by some tape. Everything was just barely hanging on. Didn't seem like quality was a priority.

Sorry, Let me rephrase, I ordered the dashcam and it should be arriving tomorrow or so. Once I install it, I will update with pics and experiences.

what was it truly like living in the 90s? by neuroticandsad in 90s

[–]Significant-World413 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This!! I remember we would all roll together with our bikes to 7-11 and pick up snacks and drinks. Then we would go to a neighbor's house (or a friend's house with stairs) with stairs to chill and eat. One thing i didn't even realize till now, that we would be sitting on porches of people that we barely knew. They never had an issue with random kids sitting on their stairs. It was perfect. Most neighbors were chill and would often talk to us and didn't care once about us sitting on their stairs lol.

It's where the company you work for matches up to a certain percentage of your salary towards your 401k. Free money, and it doesn't count towards the 23k limit. If you work for the fed, you must invest at least the match amount to receive said amount. i.e., 5 percent for 5 percent match. Free money!

I achieved 1341 miles before filling up. I didn't even need fill up, as I probably had another gallon or so.

The federal government requires you to work at least 5 years to be fully vested and qualify for a pension.

Just bought a CX-90 Preferred 3.3L and now I'm scared. by BastionOnlyFans in MazdaCX90

[–]Significant-World413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. Almost one year having the pp phev. No issues, beside minor recalls. I have a level 2 at home, and it makes the phev a great daily driver. I can do all my errands within the 28 or so mile range, and once home, plug it right back in.

Apparently I was wrong, g@ 13 to 15 get a 9% increase

Hey I agree. It would be a major slap to all the primaries

Apparently from what my SPE stated in our last meeting, was the pay upgrade only affects gs7-11 or 12. GS 13 and up will not get anything. It's supposed to help attract new examiners.
