The OS is geared toward security-privacy..... any phone NOT updated is not secure. I would go Pixel 7, for support. The newer the phone, the longer the update support is. I love how the lock screen randomizes the numbers, and of course open source. IOS is supposed to be secure, but... closed...

A good used 1989 Dodge Aries. With the 2.2L engine. Seats six.

WRC changed the rules from allowing 2.0L engines to only allowing 1.6L., thus kicking out Subaru. Subaru made a name from the rally circuit. It was NOT the Outback that made Subaru known, it was their rally cars. WRC screwed over Subaru, but the Outback saved them.

People die, taking advantage will catch up with you. Well, High Frutos Corn Syrup is a far cry from adding LEAD to wine! As a sanctuary state, there is talk now about guaranteed income.... for the not legally recognized citizens.

Subaru Outback.

They seem more reliable than they used to be. I think as Hyundai as a brand builds vehicles affordably, but they do not last. If I see a old Hyundai around, the headlights are all hazed yellowed, but it is rare to see a older model on the road. Short term they are a good value, buy to keep...

Easter weekend, then the Eclipse, prices going up, up, up!

Got to price shop! For example, a NAPA GOLD air filter...made in China was going for like 38 dollars, when all the other air filters, STP, Silver, etc. was 12-25 dollar price range....

So I got a question, how do you know which screw length to use? Say screwing a 2x4 to a 4x4, I would use a 3 inch screw, right? or what about a 2x4 into a 2x6? how much of the screw thread needs to be in the next piece of wood?

You can remove the intelligent key battery.

The only Frontier to get is the Pro4x.....

Sorry dude. My 200mm rectangular E1 Hella E codes from Rallylights.com cannot be beat. SHARP cutoff line, **** things rocked on my 87 Ford Ranger. I cannot vouch for the 7 inch Hella Roundies. I thought they had a metal back, glass lens, and they were good. Both the 7 and rectangular take...

So... I can´t find my contract, I guess I´ll go in again, this time get a receipt that the account is closed, argh.
