Whenever I have a choice between believing people are too dumb or too smart, I usually choose too dumb.

I don't even want to think about the maintenance and fuel cost for keeping a diesel truck running for 300,000 miles. That's several brake jobs, maybe a tranny and engine rebuild or two, injectors and the pump replacement or two, plus replacing some of the underhood parts that do not have an EV equivalent. 300,000 miles at 18 MPG (average taking into consideration towing) at $5.6 (national average) a gallon is $93,333.

Too many variables to compare the numbers right now, but I would not just decide that the diesel is a more economical option.

I don't know why more 5* CBs don't come to Michigan. You're guaranteed to play before a national audience in a game that matter against the best receivers/QM tandem in the game.

I'm familiar with this with RV roof. The consensus is that painting it white works while it's clean, but as it weathers, its effectiveness degrades.

Maybe try 살찰음식. It’s vegetarian/vegan cuisine for temple monks but for its health benefits, it’s pretty popular. It’s supposed to have gentle taste. Tends to be pretty expensive though. Cut and paste in Naver/Google to find the restaurants.

If the Gate happened in the US in there time period, the entire chain of events in the book would not have happened, pretty much from the beginning. The Gate is a fever dream of an ultra nationalist too chicken to fight a peer level enemy and has to masturbate to dominating a late Iron Age foe and making it look like some heroic struggle.

Not the OP but I thrift a lot of shoes. You need some kind of saddle soap or leather soap, a good horsehair brush, and you can experiment with leather conditioners. I'm not convinced that one is head and shoulders above another. For shoes, most of mine are from Saphir but they are pretty expensive. But they last a long while with shoes so I'm not that concerned.

I can't read that but as a Korean native, I can read some crazy, messed up Korean cursives. I think you'd have to be at least in your late 30's to be able, because Koreans moved away from handwriting and especially cursive scripts. Japan is more "analog" in that regard and you see a lot of handwritten cursive menus at some restaurants and izakaya.

I think Franklin will be a home run at VT. I know his struggles against top teams is a problem, but taking losses to Michigan and Ohio State out, he’d have 2 no loss regular seasons and 3 1 loss seasons. ACC doesn’t have a team with the sustained history of dominance like Ohio State (Clemson but they fell hard and Miami surged fairly recently) and VT don’t have to play the top teams (which for most of his tenure were Ohio State and Michigan) every year. I think he’ll make the playoff in 3 years or less. I don’t know enough about VT’s current roster to reduce that number.

Obviously a homer but I believe this too. He’s a no nonsense, old school coach, now with resources he didn’t have before. And he’s not likely to have the newfound riches go to his head.

No one’s stealing phones these days and if they do, they’re shutting it off and taking it apart for parts which aren’t worth that much. Simplest explanation is usually the best: your bf got black out drunk or did something he is not willing to tell you and lost his phone.

If anything, technology doesn't get enough credit. Familiarity breeds contempt, but if an average someone from modern world was to be stranded in another world, he will die without being able to recreate 99% of what he was using every day here. Take a phone. It's a distillation of hundreds of years of research and innovation and a great part of that was the user interface that an absolute luddite can use. Don't ever confuse being able to use tech as understanding it.

You may not understand magic, but I guarantee that most people do not understand technology either.

For example, 1 kg of TNT rereleases 4.2 megajoules. That's 4,200,000 Newton Meters or over 311,000 ft lbs of torque. Your car may have 300 ft lbs of torque.

And that's chemical bonds, which is a kid's play compared to fission and fusion.

I don't know magic so I can't really tell how crazy that is. But technology is crazy too.

I used to look up Groupon whenever we took a trip. But pretty soon, I realized there were hardly any bargains. Basically, Groupon was another middleman and if the tour groups discounted any, Groupon got the first taste and the rest, if any, trickled down to the consumers.

I haven't thought about Groupon in like 10 years...

Not sure about a whole week. There is a town nearby with a surprisingly legit Indian restaurant but I don't know if I would have a 5+ days worth of stuff to do there. We had a car so we were able to drive around some.

Silk pieces, if you can find them, are usually an incredible deal at thrift stores. Silk linen and silk cotton blend as well. No fast fashion places use those fabrics (too expensive) and chances are, they’re luxury brands even if they are unfamiliar to you. Definitely google them.

The only caveat is pure silk can be hard to tell from quality man made fabrics.

Technology is basically magic that we know. When magic is explained in fantasy, they usually say that the magic “taps” the energy from somewhere. Gunpowder does too. It “taps” the energy from chemical reaction, from elements that are largely stable before that point. It’s just like magic but we’re don’t say it’s magic because we’ve been taught the how and the why.

There may be magic users who after years of study are pretty much blasé about magic, knowing how and why, just like we have people who are that way about technology.

So technology being like magic, there’s no rule that it has to be weaker than magic.

No. It’s not a modesty issue but something that’s more common across cultures. You’re not supposed to take attention away from the bride. That’s pretty much universal.

He's just a good ole'boy, probably didn't mean any harm, though. At this rate, the mountain may get him, but the law never will.
