    What vehicle do you drive?

    This car market is fucked, so your mileage may vary, but traditionally you should buy sports cars in the winter months, if you want to get the best prices. So, start researching now, and pricing out cars for the next 8 months. As Burren said, it's doubtful you will find any Ferrari, Lambo, or...

    Go plug in your loan into a loan calculator and see how much you save by making a 100k payment today. Then, take the average return on SPY or QQQ over the last ~20 years and see where your 100k would be sitting in the next 10, 20, and 30 years (if the trend continues in the long term). Next, if...

    True Detective

    I'm not sure I even remember what happened in season 2 and 3. So I guess I should go ahead and start with season 1, then watch the first 2 or 3 season of Fargo in preparation.

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    Discovery poisoned the well for nu-trek (for me). So, if Strange New Worlds keeps the reported quality through the various seasons, I will probably watch this the same way I watched Enterprise, that is, 10 years after it was off the air.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    After reading Hekotat's journey in current car buying (and others in the thread) it sounds rather crazy that anyone would seek out a new car in this market, if they don't absolutely need it.

    Yea, I assumed something went wrong with the aluminum lines and everything needed replacing for that price. I have never needed to do it, but then I haven't owned a vehicle that had been driven in the various salt chemicals up north for 20+ years. Also, road gators and debris can fuck up...

    Better Call Saul

    They defiantly turned Mexican ninja up to 11 for this season. I don't have any idea how they could get to the same plot points without Jason "Lalo" Wick, but then, that's what they should be getting paid the big bucks to figure out. I did read on the wiki that they brought Vince Gilligan back...

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    Sounds about right, I vaguely remember reading something about TFA messing with Rebels, but it seems that my brain is successfully dropping useless information about TFA and TLJ (I would like to forget about them altogether).

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    Same format as Clone Wars in that the first season is more kid orientated; then they get the numbers back on who is actually watching, and it gets more serious.

    @Hekotat was looking at 5G a few months ago as well; did either of yall end up signing up for the 5g plan? If so, which modem did yall get? I'm thinking of trying to get the ATT 5G for business, as the cost is half that of fixed wireless, and 5G is advertised as up to 200Mbit down. Currently...

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    Driven through Pryor 10+ times on the way up north, but all I remember is the police cars sittin in the speed traps...and for some reason I always think of OK as flat and boring (even though Lake Eufaula has some small ups and downs along i69). It's only ~4 hours from Ft. Worth, so it might...

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    If you are going to keep animals, a used Kubota/Deere/Case compact utility tractor with a front end loader will probably be more useful than a zero point turn mower (skid steers are bad ass, but cost toooo much). Best bet is to find a farm equipment auction place near you, or even in places you...

    You don't need roids to impress people, once you get to certain age, just being in shape and still able to out perform 75% of the population can make you a roll model. In my semi-gymrat days, there was a 50-60+ year old dude that used to lift at my gym (he looked like the juicer guy, from 80's...

    Star Trek: Picard

    I tried watching the RLM video of episodes 6, 7, 8, and 9, a few weeks back and after about 15 min I shut it off, not a single laugh. I want to like RLM, as they seem to hold similar views, but every video I have attempted to watch is just dull.

    Car Audio anyone have any experience here?

    That looks like the right set up. After a closer look, the yellow and black are a larger gauge, which would indicate constant power. That would make red the ignition, and there is also a blue and a blue/white in the picture. Pertinent page:

    Edit2: First, check Void's post below and see if that is the correct manual. If so, he is right with the blue and white. That picture looks like the same set up, even if it's a different model number. Small edit1: Some head units may have multiple outs for the amps, including a separate remote...

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    I found Hawkeye to be much better than Loki and probably in the top 10 marvel products I have seen. All the characters were likeable, with a nice contained storyline for characters I had little interest in, before watching the show.

    I am doubtful that all the money is legit. In one story, her father (estranged) claims that there is 1 or more people working in the background, behind her. It may be a money laundering operation and she is too dumb to keep her mouth shut. I hope the IRS/FBI/TFI is getting the microscopes out...

    Yea, replacing all the brake lines is advanced wrench turning, and a decent chunk of labor. Bending your own tubes is the "cheapest" way, but then you need specialty tools for it. Depending on the vehicle, you should be able to buy pre-bent tubes for it though. With pre-bent stuff, its just the...

    I could see that, if you live on a major highway, that most out-of-towners would only stop at a place they recognize, but it's surprising there weren't enough locals supporting a hole in the wall place, or three.

    Untrue, if a city has enough business for someone to open a chain restaurant, then they will have a bunch of mom and pop places too. America loves to eat out, and restaurants are everywhere. When I was in the Midwest, it was the other way around. A town had to be over something like 50,000...

    I would rather cook it myself, than go to a chain restaurant and it's not like they aren't immune from shitty staff fucking up orders. It's real easy to convert to eating mostly from superlative mom & pop places and not having any higher chance of getting something you don't like. Lets say your...

    The only people that I knew IRL that would constantly eat at chain places had terrible taste in food and generally preferred buffets. I always attributed it to them being old and having degraded sense of taste. Sure, you might get burned by going to a crap mom & pop a few times, but far more...

    I think it goes something like this... The Fed has three options to get us out of the hole they have created: They use inflation to "shrink" all the shit on their books ("good" for the billionaire asset class) They pop all the bubbles and trigger a huge correction (bear market, bad for the...

    Either get gud and learn to turn a wrench, or get your asshole reamed. YouTube should have tutorials on anything you need to do car wise. Also, if one strut/spring wore out due to age, the other side will soon follow. They aren't that hard to do yourself.

    This sounds about right. After Spiderman, I was expecting a bunch of different unexpected shit coming at him sideways.
