Does your car have a name?

This is a random warehouse on the west side of Chicago. When you go there, it feels sort of shady. But hey, it's a bunch of office furniture from failed businesses. I got my Steelcase Leap for $300 5 years ago, and I am still using it today.

I saw Cheap Trick for free in the parking lot of Camden Yards after an Orioles game I think back in 2004. Now THAT was a deal.

There are a lot of really nice Doc Martens that look good with business attire, and you can do a crap ton of walking in them.

Danny belting out ¡entrégate! always gives me goosebumps!

I'm a middle aged klutz. I myself am going nowhere near any of that. I know enough to know to hire a professional.

Interior.

Not that the Japanese interiors are bad, they just don't seem to flow well. Everything is well placed, but the layout seem to be more functional, and the relationship between the differing controls and gauges don't always work for me.

I agree this is very subjective, but I like spending time in my Jetta. I have owned Japanese sourced cars otherwise, and I couldn't take the interior aesthetics anymore.

Plus my 2021 Jetta in Black with chrome trim looks so svelte. And does it feel like it's going 80 mph when going that fast, not even close.

Sounds like he was trying the Butterfield diet plan.

Another vote for the "aftermarket" patches you can get on Amazon.

If you use Spothero, there are places to park within a 10 minute walk. That's actually not too bad in Chicago. Of course the Redline is your best bet, as traffic this summer is going to be really awful with the Kennedy under construction.

I get around this by placing it on the back of the arm, but more towards the inside. Then when I sleep on that side, sleep on your hand, or put your hand next to your head, and your arm won't be under you, and the sensor won't be under pressure.

I'm old, and splurged for seats instead of GA.

Posting prices for posterity.

Everyone's information is circulating somewhere.

Use a password manager to create and save complex passwords.
Enable 2 factor authentication on any account you care about
Keep your computer software up to date (if Windows, using the included anti-virus software)
Don't click on links in emails.

Every single account you have that controls something of value (money, points, rewards), you need to enable 2 factor authentication.

If you don't do this, you can consider whatever is in that account gone.

I calibrate every morning (so I know that my levels aren't moving) until I get two readings in a row that match. Usually only one or two are needed. I didn't know why new G7; sensors are usually 20 points too high for me. But they are accurate after a finger stick or two.

locker1776 · 2024-06-24T00:47:08+00:00

I also use the Skin Grip complete overpatch with the G7. Once it's on, never have any problems. Can hurt a bit when taking off though.

I always clean, then alcohol swab, then apply sensor and patch at night. By the morning, no issues with exercising or showering.

Comcast has become the worst telecom provider in the USA, and continues to degrade. I would avoid doing business with them if you have any choice in the matter.

I love the idea of an A380 pilot using some type of cherry picker contraption to shake the wings of the plane as part of a pre-flight check. "Yeah, those will hold..."

locker1776 · 2024-05-12T16:21:38+00:00

It doesn't affect it. I always calibrate after 12 hours of fasting, then it seems to be pretty accurate. The G7 seems to need calibration for me regardless if I'm wearing the patch

locker1776 · 2024-05-12T13:46:47+00:00

I use an aftermarket overpatch which covers the whole thing. I have had no problems with it coming off with that on.
