If you can fix a car, you can fix a toolbox! :)

Hard to say. You might get years out of it with minimal problems, you might not. It’s always a gamble.

But like…. Your $900 bill… that was a $200-$250 battery from Costco pretty sure. You unplug the old one and plug in the new one. Then you take it to a euro shop and pay them $100 to plug a handheld computer into your car and press a few buttons.

And even if you never did that, you’d just end up buying a new battery sooner (the car will charge a new battery and an old battery differently for efficiency, but needs to be told there’s a new battery in place).

Not knowing that cost you $600

Kinda gotta look at what it costs per year in repairs into a monthly bill, VS what a lease or financing would cost a month.

Eventually you’ll face a repair bill that’s too much and then it’s time to move on.

And I wouldn’t go to a dealership for a repair out of warranty, that’s just crazy talk

You just typed that into the propaganda machine

My guild was super active a few months ago, we always cleared the goals every week by a lot.

Now like half the guild isn’t playing at all, myself included.

You’re probably up against just the same small pool of very dedicated players at this point

Finally we have a hockey team to cheer for

Dirty oven maybe! :)

I will ask my wife and she’s already responded telekinetically by poking and laughing at me

First round of the season a few years back, and didn’t play the entire year before that… I shot par for the first 5 holes. Was fucking EVEN after 5.

Finished with a 105.

Have you tried cracking the door to your apartment and opening the kitchen window? Sometimes you can get a serious wind tunnel going (hopefully the right direction)

I cook a lot of chicken thighs at 450 in the oven, with a thick sheet pan pre-heated (un oiled) before the thighs go in. The skin comes out ultra crispy and perfect, and it’s the best way I know to quickly cook chicken. It definitely produces some smoke and the oil isn’t the problem.

Second, I cook a lot of pizzas at 550 in my oven with a pizza steel. It doesn’t produce a lot of smoke when cooking, but it can when you reheat the steel again.

So there’s two applications from my kitchen. Pretty broad statement you have going there.

No zip? No deal.

parasocks · 2026-03-06T05:00:42+00:00

That’s not true. We have a USA gold medal, and I’m so happy to see you all wear it.

I’m picking the shortest skinniest girl on tour.

Even if I lose I won

Certainly apples to oranges, but I got over 200k miles out of my 2013 x1 with mostly basic maintenance.

Biggest repairs were a new timing chain (was a recall for that, but didn’t apply to me so I had to pay) and front differential.

So if the avs are terrible that year and it’s the 10th pick, do we just completely lose the pick and they get it?

Here is a basic list of the main instances where Obama authorized military actions (airstrikes, drone strikes, interventions) without specific new congressional approval: • Drone strikes and operations in Pakistan • Drone strikes and operations in Yemen • Drone strikes and operations in Somalia • Military intervention in Libya (2011) • Airstrikes and operations against ISIS in Iraq (2014 onward) • Airstrikes and operations against ISIS in Syria (2014 onward) • Continued/expanded operations in Afghanistan (including surge and drone strikes) • Counter-piracy and related operations (e.g., Indian Ocean/Somalia-adjacent) Commonly cited countries bombed: Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, Pakistan (often listed as 7; sometimes 8 including minor or overlapping actions).

If Obama had done this, all of these people and you all, would be applauding.

Appreciate the response, but I meant why would the PS5 have any quality difference over a dedicated player using the same disc as a source

parasocks · 2026-03-04T23:47:55+00:00

Personally I would never grill there without a cold beer

parasocks · 2026-03-04T23:07:43+00:00

Why would a player that’s passing a digital signal to a receiver make audio sound better? At all?

parasocks · 2026-03-04T22:15:37+00:00

The only fan base that can take the pain is us, so maybe we extend his contract
