One of the oral surgeon downstairs from me at work drives one that he parks right outside my office window. It is a stunning vehicle.

This was being taught in medical schools 25 years ago. We dumb down the message that obesity is associated with increased risk of heart disease, cancer, type 2 DM, dementia, etc, but this is simply the mechanism by which obesity increases those risks.

Replace North America with US above since the US imports 80% of its oil. I guess my point was most US produced oil is destined for export and that is mostly due to how our refinery system is setup...

As I understand it, one of the biggest issues is US refineries are not setup to process the types of oil now being produced in North America. So we export most of the oil produced in North American to Asia just to import other types of oil that our refineries are setup to process from the middle...

I understand what you're saying but to be honest as the customer it's not my problem. We're in the weird place where the manufacturer underpays the tech and now I'm somehow supposed to be sympathetic to poor workmanship. I just want it done right...

I'm 45 and because I have a sedentary job I prioritize lifting and exercise. When I was younger it was about moving as much weight as possible as many times as possible but that has morphed into simply wanting to keep muscle mass, flexibility, and most importantly functionality. Light weight and...

Yeah...I would've thought taller...and clearly, he's missing his radius and ulna in his right arm...and his left knee isn't looking so hot either...lol.

Went to Tool in Boston at TD Garden on Nov 15th (3rd time seeing them)...great show! They played Rosetta Stoned which I never thought I'd see live! Went to Sessanta (the first show of the tour) at The Wang Theater in Boston which is a small venue and it was very cool. That was my first time...

I installed something on the Kia Soul. You pull off a cover on the side of the dash, unplug the start/stop dash button, and plug this thing into the button on one end and the wire from the dash into the thing on the other end. It simply "remembers" if the start/stop button was on or off between...

Last two concerts were Tool and Sessanta (A Perfect Circle, Puscifer, and Primus) and I will probably get my obligatory Dave Matthews Band in this summer plus whatever comes up.

Except...they are likely to make at least some irate customers simply by charging them $1,900 for a problem that should just be the cost of a hose. The difference is if they charged for just the hose it would actually build a lot of goodwill, something GM could use these days. If the turbo goes...

I just switched homeowners and auto. They sent someone out but no one needed to be home or have any interaction with the person. My wife watched him walk around, take pictures, and leave without ever approaching the door.

Interestingly, the only problem I've had with my 2020 Tundra was the hose going to the water pump was leaking - they replaced the hose, under warranty.

Lol...well that's also bad form... Good form is providing a turbo that isn't hot garbage.

"The dealer said the part that needs to be replaced is part of the “turbo kit” so the entire turbo requires replacement." Yet, GM makes the dealer replace the entire turbo and it's not covered. That just doesn't sound right to me. It may be technically within the contract of the warranty but it...
