    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    This is probably the biggest thing with dogs. Quite a few breeds must have activity throughout their lives. My two labradoodles average about 15 miles of walking and running every week. After about two days of low activity, they become restless and things get chewed and commands get ignored. Let...

    Yeah the name is awful, but they're a perfect mix. You basically get a German Wire-haired.

    Labs can get oily. It's not the worst dog smell, though. I'm saying Labradoodle Master Race, though. Poodle athleticism and smarts without the neuroticism. Lab toughness and endurance. Reduced Shedding...

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    Kinda gamy. Hunting dogs. High energy, high prey drive. Keep them active, or have a large property, or forget it. Labradoodle Master Race.

    The price is also high for a game that requires work as part of gameplay. There must be a big margin on this "game".

    Commanding dogs to rend a person sounds like a mayhem charge. I hope there's an inspired prosecutor.

    Buying a car?

    I agree unless you are buying something that is typically modded and/or has a turbo. That car, returned as used so early in its life, is bound to have problems.

    Belize, anyone?

    Was there way back in 1999 for a field school. Flew into Belize City and thought I was in New Jersey when I got off the plane. Spent a weekend here:| Chan Chich Jungle Lodge and Nature Reserve - Orange Walk, Belizeand made another weekend run into Guatemala. If you are into archaeology...

    Car Buying Help

    Probably. I mean, all the big manufacturers are simplifying the platforms for their cars. With VW Audi, it's all riding on the MQB platform. I'm just thrilled I don't have to pay over $30,000 for access to a really awesome turbo and transmission.

    I don't have any experience with Audi, but you weren't comparing the right car. The heart of the GTI and the heart of a few lower level Audis is the same.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    This is a great angle for the character. It's probably just harder to write. I would be ok with it if resurrected Jon Snow is a sort of false messiah and Jaime becomes the Night King Slayer.

    Can the previous owner give you a copy of the receipt for the quarter panel work? You could take that to the dealer.

    I think it's a fine idea. Pretty much what I got the F150 for -- home depot runs and learning a bit more about old mechanics. I think pre 85 is a good bet. the eletronics aren't intrusive.

    Go old for trucks. 1965 to 1979. For under $5,000 you can get a daily driver fix-r-upper, for $10,000 you can get a restored daily driver. Love mine.

    The Shannara Chronicles

    It's all hinted at, but even the early descriptions of Paranor suggest that it's steam-powered, vaguely nuclear. There are a lot of other things that could be fallen tech analogs, including the sword and elfstones. I seem to recall some allusion to genetic modification. Anyway, it was ahead of...

    I suppose Melisandre could simply use Jon's remains/blood to summon Azor Ahai2u. Kinda like the dragons were born from Drogo's pyre.

    The Shannara Chronicles

    I'm looking forward to the first episode. Shannara wasn't my favorite series, and I don't even think it's Brooks' best work, but I think Allanon is a really good and memorable character. The hints of a post-apocalyptic, fallen tech earth were neat, too. There's even some feminism in Shannara...

    Subaru prices are really good for the stuff that counts (engine and AWD) as long as you stay away from the limited and touring trim levels. They charge way too much for the quality returned on those. Subaru AWD actually works, too -- a lot of other manufacturers' AWD systems are pretty crappy...

    Nothing specific to the 2015 WRX. But people with subaru CVTs with 90k+ miles report problems with the CVT system, and apparently it's a totally closed and delicate system that needs special servicing (I don't like parts that are like that, and I have heard enough horror stories about Nissan...

    I wanted a WRX Premium w/ CVT. Eventually I reconsidered because of some strange CVT stories and a lot of the dealerships in Southeastern PA still claim the WRX is a rare in-demand car and expect full MSRP for it. I'm not against stick, btw. Auto is so I can tolerate stop and go traffic and...

    Do the new Rav4s have the tire? I thought they removed that. My boss's wife had one for a bit and did't like it. Nothing mechanicaly wrong with it, but just a lame interior she said. I had a CRV of the previous style for a while and like it a lot, but the seats hurt my back. I don't like the...
