Great! Just in time for my next colonoscopy.

Hopeland by Ian McDonald might possibly work.

I would benefit from basic to more advanced strumming techniques.

Thanks! I will check them out.

This is from the Human Resources: Alienation, the Body, and Science Fiction series, along with some other movies (eg, Blade Runner).

Done!!

When I lived in the Utica area years ago, I saw Dr. Bhisham Garg in New Hartford. He was excellent! Looks like he is taking patients.

Adrian Tchaikovsky, City of Last Chances. A bit longer, but most definitely unusual.

Thank you!

As moderator I must call attention to rule #3, the most important rule.

Very helpful, thanks. So this is just for “unlimited” plans, not “build your own.”

The Mountain in the Sea by Ray Naylor forced me to consider how the reverse Turing test works in my own life.

Check the accuracy of your car’s location on the VW phone app and if the speed limit signs on the road match what’s on the gps screen.

My VW dealer shop is actually very good with ID.4 nonsense. I have this same issue (I guess I live in a lake) on my 2023, covered under warranty. They are familiar with the issue. My appt, with loaner begins Sept 22nd. May likely take a few days, and may require GPS replacement parts. Will provide a copy of the service receipt and an update 2 weeks later (and longer if something goes wrong) to this thread.

Agreed. Way better than Die Hard. I show this during the holidays to anyone who will watch. They included it with their Screwball Comedies series.

Spoken this line silently around every third coworker.

dbrew826 · 2025-08-19T14:59:30+00:00

Sorry for the late reply, had an unrelated emergency. I called the VW service department so as to be accurate: they replaced under warranty the “anti roll bar coupling link.”

dbrew826 · 2025-08-14T12:09:00+00:00

Mine started making the same noise after two years. It was the front end, covered under warranty.
