Re: Plenty of room to park in your garage? - 1 year ago

QuoteAcer Regardless of the MRF spandex-coated chest-thumping, I think the dude in the OP was done biking his retired bones all over town. He was going to have a car, dammit. This. Kudos to that old man for figuring out how to do it and then doing it. He's probably been doing this for years. Not everyone can afford the finest accommodations to fit their perceived needs.

Re: What are the names of the cars in your life? - 1 year ago

I named my green 1972 Datsun (yes, before they changed to Nissan) station wagon the "Green Hornet." Sometimes it became the "Green Weenie" when it wasn't acting right.

Re: Mojave users, can you reproduce this Safari glitch? - 1 year ago

OK. This is weird. When I type in "AV12" and then type a "3" Safari immediately crashes every time. If I type in anything else after "AV12" Safari doesn't crash.

Re: how they freed that ship in the Suez Canal - 1 year ago

Quotemodelamac QuoteMr Downtown The Washington Post has a great visual feature. Cannot read it without a subscription, which I will not do. So I found this: Thanks modelamac. I was looking for an article like that because I will not subscribe to the Washington Post either. That's a pretty good description of how they freed the Ever Given.

Re: A little worried about scam potential of these phone calls - 1 year ago

Quoterz Just don't answer the call. If you don't recognize the number, let it go to voicemail. If it's important, they'll leave a message. That has been my SOP for quite awhile. I rarely get a message and if I do, it's often a scam/sales call.

Re: heads up display - 1 year ago

Quoterz To elaborate, it isn't a distraction. It actually allows you to view your current speed and the speed limit of where you are without having to look away from the road in front of you. I drove my brother's Corvette with a heads up display and, like rz, I didn't find it distracting but quite helpful.

Re: Online Toilet Paper Value Calculator - easy and gentle for you - 1 year ago

QuoteMindMeld QuoteGrateful11 We buy Sam's Members Mark 45 rolls, 245 sheets per roll. This calculator is telling me it's $0.19/sheet, that's not right. We buy the same thing. It should work out to be $.0019 @ sheet if the package of 45 costs $21. IIRC, we pay somewhat less than that. However, looking at their calculation results, they show .190 cents rather than $0.19, so I believe it is acc

Re: Had my second dose of Vaccine yesterday - 1 year ago

Thanks for all of the input folks. Sounds mostly like some arm soreness from the 1st shot and very possibly some more serious, but temporary, reactions from the 2nd shot.

Re: Had my second dose of Vaccine yesterday - 1 year ago

QuotergG QuoteMindMeld Did you and/or your daughter have any kind of reaction to the first shot? I'm asking because my wife is getting her first shot (Moderna) Friday. I wasn't able to get an appointment however so I'll probably be like d4. Only a slightly sore arm with the first shot, for me, my husband, and my mom. Thanks. My wife was a little concerned.
