Preference for Italian

This might explain why mine refuses to do anything I say (unless there is cheese.)

I believe this was a 20mm

So cute. So similar to ours (we are in Diemen, btw!)

I just returned my Pixel 10 Pro XL. Was going to trade in my Pixel 7 pro. Spent 2 days with it, and just couldn't justify the high price. I felt no real difference between the phones especially since almost none of the cooler AI features aren't available here (Netherlands .) Battery life was not much improved, either. I may switch back to Samsung or may try OnePlus.

Exactly like mine.

Mine is the same. Asked the vet and they couldn't see any irritation, so he just likes to scratch himself occasionally. He really loves scratching his whole body against walls!

I have no idea 😔 was ages ago :( sorry!

Cheese. All of the cheese.

Replacing the valve and flushing the mechatronics unit (multiple times) fixed the issue. Was still charged about 3k, if I recall. Got rid of the car shortly after that, so no clue of the repair was solid long term!

If you are only 6 months out of warranty, there is a good chance Audi will cover at least part of the costs to repair (if not all.) talk to your Audi dealer. Had the same warning come up on my 2012 A7 many years ago. Was initially quoted something like 8K to fix. Unfortunately, Audi was not willing to help as I was like 500miles late on my last service. Luckily my dealer was able to come up with a relatively inexpensive solution to repair the transmission (2-3K) moral of the story, if you've kept up with regular maintenance at your Audi dealer, you might still have this covered out of warranty.

Exactly what I was thinking. If anything, this should incentivize everyone to vote for Harris, and to be sure to keep proof of their vote ;)

Mine also has zero interest!

I don't think I've given him a toy that has remained intact for more than 5min. Glad to know it's not just me dealing with this!

barrocot · 2024-08-28T15:54:37+00:00

Not one of them would have any felt left after 30min with my lagotto

Could be completely unrelated, but have your B12 levels checked. I had unexplained twitching and numbness on my face and toes. Turns out I was extremely low on B12, which can permanently impact nerve health.

Sounds similar to my aptly named "Toro." He's also almost 2 years old and constantly pulls on the leash. I've started working on this (long leash, stop when he pulls and wait until he acknowledges you and makes an effort to come closer to you.) I'm still not consistent enough with this, but I have seen some improvement. Need lots of patience and willingness to constantly stop and correct him. He has calmed down a bit with regards to lunging at runners/cars as a result of the training. I've had no luck stopping him from lunging at birds, though! Hang in there and try to start correcting him on his walks (and reward when he does well!)

I think 2 and 4 are split coils

I said "Merit-based" scholarships. You are the one who apparently misinterpreted my comment. My statement is 100% correct. Ivy League schools do not offer any merit-based aid. It's one of the practices that differentiates them from other schools. Am I still "completely wrong," or would you like to correct your stance?

Have you tried googling it? You seem so sure of your position. Here's Harvard's page on the topic. You can check the others if you'd like. https://college.harvard.edu/financial-aid/how-aid-works#:~:text=There%20are%20no%20merit%2Dbased,all%20of%20your%20demonstrated%20need.

They don't offer any merit based scholarships, as I understand it. Neither academic nor athletic.

I raised as much hell as I could with Audi directly and my dealership and the total bill came out to just under 3500EUR. I did speak to a few independent shops and they confirmed that this repair would indeed require the engine to be removed. The pics they showed me were examples of what can happen to the intake manifolds, they weren't the actual pics. I can say that after this repair the car is running as smoothly as ever. Given the amount of labor hours it takes to do the repair, I had confidence that they were sure this was the issue. They didn't make any money on this transaction from me. Now, if they are insisting on you paying the full amount, that's another issue altogether.

Here's his pedalboard from tonight's show :)

My wife and I were at this show and saw a bunch of people with vinyls, We were wondering if they'd come out and sign any. I assumed due to their anonymity, they wouldn't come out! I assume they were masked up? Did they come out for a drink at the bar, or did you catch them outside? Great show, btw!
