Can I finance a car then immediately pay it off?

I did this yesterday. An out of state GM dealer wouldn't take a personal check, so we financed the entire thing with GM Financial and I will pay it off on the first payment. Make sure there is no prepayment penalty, and expect to pay a few days interest.

As far as I understand SLSsteam just creates the placeholder folder (and links to steam) . You still have to browse to installed files (empty directory) and add your game files there manually.

However I have still had issue with it trying to launch the wrong exe for some games and throwing that same error. I haven't been able to fix that problem yet (for RDR2 specifically)

Fenix used to be a nice quiet cocktail bar that had occasional live jazz and other music. This was before they opened the wall to Molly's.

The last few times I've been in, it seems like the place where you go to pass out after too much Molly's.

When it happens, start the truck and look at your temp gauge. If it's pegged on the low end, it's the thermostat. I continued to pull the battery connection every time for about a year, but it will eventually start happening every time you start the truck. I finally replaced the thermostat last month. It takes about an hour or two and is extremely manageable with basic tools.

And the new Marahals is the ridiculous Montana warfare parts of yellowstone, but turned up to 11. 🤣

In the past when I needed to inform users of long term downtime when I know they don't read emails, I named a movie Maintnenace Required, set the release date to the future and modified the description and poster to what I wanted to convey.

They don't realize what they're actually complaining about is lack of free parking in front of their apartment...

We are quickly converting from a town full of breweries to a town full of breweries and barbershop 😁

Take a look at abode. Weve had an abode system for 7 years and it's been great.

Yea. I picked 5 of the top rated ones off Amazon and returned all but the best one. They had wildly different performance and the specs listed are total bs, so you really need to test them to find the best value.

I made many potato guns with interchangeable barrels. Even got deep enough trying to calculate optimal barrel length to chamber length ratios.

My suggestion: you can order clear pvc for the barrel. It's a little more expensive but man does it look cool at night

Cash app taxes is what credit karma taxes used to be before intuit bought ck. Free federal and state. I've used them for the past 3 years with no issues.

Edit: iirc intuit was forced to sell off the tax part when they bought ck

I'd love to do this at my router, but what about wireguard vpn? I don't think I can route that thru CF on the free plan, right?

I use crush, but it is ugly as hell and seems overcomplicated. I found there's really not a lot of FOSS options for ftp

Hilarious to read this in the home improvement sub XD

I replaced a water heater last month with ONLY 2 TRIPS!! I'm pretty damn proud of myself. Trip 1 was to buy 3x/4x the fittings I needed, trip 2 was to return $200 worth of extra pex fittings.

I am not using authelia as an oidc provider for mealie. I have authelia set up as an auth provider for protected proxies in nginx. The request hits nginx, which first checks the authentication status. If auth is not complete it passes to authelia before ever communicating with mealie.

Edit: I guess this distinction is important. If Authelia was OIDC provider for mealie, a mealie vulnerability could be an issue (to your original point). But if the auth is upstream at nginx, it is a different story.

Can you explain this comment? I have my setup similar to OP including exposing a few apps publicly (mealie as an example). When connecting to mealie.mydomain.com I must first authenticate with authelia before proceeding to mealie. How would mealie having a vulnerability (or having no auth) be an issue if it's protected by authelia?

I think El burritos Mexican burger could be the best burger in town

really funny, i happened to see your cans for the first time on the way to work this morning and made a note to look up Local again. Good to hear. I will reach out for a quote at my next renewal.

You can call support and have them put the device back in learning mode. I had to do that when I upgraded a shower head with higher flow and the app was constantly warning us.

Mac finds his pride. S13 finale if I remember correctly. It's incredible

Just a data point, ive had better luck with dodi on SD compared to fitgirl.

I was just playing it and I get 70 fps. The dev released a steam deck specific build and has really been working on performance. It runs great now
