    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Same here. My mom loved that song and played it all the time, loud as hell, on some nice vintage Pioneer floor standing speakers with those big 15" woofers.

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    That sucks. I usually listen to my Firehouse CD a couple times per month. Always brings back good memories of the early 90's.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I wouldn't buy a used 86 considering what people are asking for them right now. The car market is still screwed and it will likely take a few years before the used models come back down to where they should be. But inflation is going to keep prices pretty stupid.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I had an 86 for about 4 years and didn't really see a huge issue with the power. The power lag in the midrange was noticeable because I also had a Honda S2000, but I didn't think the 86 was all that bad considering it's price. The new version is supposed to be quite a bit better and I wouldn't...

    Toyota GR86 or Suburu BRZ. Edit, sorry, missed the convertible need.

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    This is interesting, but it doesn't really explain why aliens would bother doing it. If it's to 'gradually inherit the earth' why wouldn't the aliens just kill all humans that are here and get it over with? But it does sound similar to what Tucker Carlson was talking about a couple months ago.

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    I had internet installed at a new shop a few years ago. They basically brought the wire into the warehouse and mounted a router on the wall. My office is 100' away so I just ran a 100' ethernet cable from the router to my desktop computer because I'm not a fan of those USB dongle type wireless...

    I was just trying out a site called Leanardo AI that I saw in a Youtube video. It lets you upload a photo to mess around with. You can also start drawing something and the AI will help finish it. Another option is that it draws in real time as you type the prompt and keep adding more detail...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    If you trade it in at the dealer they subtract the dollar amount you get for the old truck off the new truck when calculating sales tax. So if they give you $20k for the trade in and sales tax is 7%, you save $1400 in sales tax off the new truck.

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Can't believe he was 81 years old. Time absolutely flies by. Knowing that the older people we grew up watching on TV are now in their late 70's and 80's really freaks me out.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    The single rear back up camera on a big truck is the only 'new' electronic gadget that I find useful. That's mostly because 2500 and 3500 trucks have gotten way too big and especially tall. It also makes lining up a trailer hitch/ball incredibly easy. Other than that I turn off pretty much...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    How much is the truck you're looking to buy? You can get the Duramax GMC Denali for $80k or less in Florida. Still a stupid high price, but might be an option.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Cummins just got nailed with a massive fine and might have to recall trucks going back years to detune the engines or figure out something to get the exhaust down where the government wants, including brand new models. I have a 2023 Ram 2500 with the 6.4L gas, but would likely look at a Duramax...

    I haven't had any luck with that site. I put in the same exact thing you did and all 6 tries came back as 'inappropriate' or something like that with no picture. Maybe they changed their rules in the past couple days.
