Used car prices are continuing to trend down after that HUGE spike in 2021. So you don't have to load twitter to read the chart:

I was trying to think of one. Then I remembered seeing him in The Mummy Returns and thought, here is an actor with zero potential, so I never watched a single movie he has been in since. Still, if people say this is decent, I may give it a shot. I am interested because there are too many hero...

Yarp, cat thefts have seen a surge in most major cities. Some trucks have huge cats that cost $3000+ to replace, not counting the damage the thieves do when they sawzall it out. Fun fact: It's illegal in the US to sell used catalytic converters to the public. They can not be legally reused and...

From Reddit: "Towed with the e-brake on"

Catalytic Converter "lock"

From Reddit: "Customer bought wheels and tires online, after advising multiple times that the tires are too small for his SUV he insisted for us to put them on. TireSize: 225/45/17"

If you can smell oil burning when the car is running, then it could be the valve gasket or a valve seal(s) that has a leak. The gasket repair is not necessarily a major repair, but still at least a couple hundred (probably). A seal repair, on the other hand, is a major, upwards of a $1000+...

When watching the Dwarf scenes, that was also my thought. The beard would have made her character much better and I don't see why they decided to take it out. It even fits the woke agenda of "women" being able to have traits that are purely male (in humans) and still being considered beautiful...

What's the saying? "For every hot woman out there, there is a man, somewhere, sick of her shit." In this case it is a whole squad. Time impacts elves differently, so it takes hundreds of years before they all just throw up their hands in disgust.

I started watching this show out of spite. Spite for all the people on this forum who bought Fallout 3 and 4, when Fallout 2 was one of the best games ever made. Yall want to contribute to ruining one of my favorite IPs of all time, well fuck you, I'm watching each episode 10 times and then...

My guess would be Tom Bombadil. If they want to stay true to the lore, the wizards weren't sent to Middle Earth until the third age (according tot he wiki). There is a good chance they just said fuck it to the lore though...

"Well hello Mr. Bond, have you met my wife, Oddjobs Around The House? She identifies as Native American and her pronouns are she/thay." *wife punches 007 in the face*

USS Texas finally has enough funds to get repaired. It has major structural issues and will hopefully survive being lifted in drydock. It was towed from the San Jacinto Battlefield State Park (Houston area) to a floating drydock in Galveston, Texas yesterday. The oldest surviving battleship...

Been hopeful that Nuclear makes a comeback in the west; if this Russian winter doesn't do it, I have little hope that anything will. Took a look at those companies and was wondering why RIO had a huge drop in Uranium production in 2021. Looks like they shut down one of their mines in Aus, in...

Weird Al Muhammad (Spoofing Shaggy: It Wasn't Me):

This thread got me thinking of a LoTR question for the Tolkien nerds: In the movie it is depicted that the forces of Sauron/Witch King tortured Gollum to give up the names Shire and Baggins, but couldn't Sauron see Bilbo when he put on the ring at the party? Did Tolkien ever describe how the...

Check Starlink's website. They have a map of counties (that they claim) they are currently filling orders for retail and east Texas is not on it yet. Elon sent truckloads of dishes to Ukraine, so no clue how far back that set the roll out. Last I looked, a couple weeks ago, their official line...

While I agree, the Juke is a pretty ugly vehicle, I think I would do almost anything not to be trapped in the current vehicle market. At least after reading all the posts in this thread about what people have experienced over the past few years.

I would think you would have misfires on some cylinders and running rough before being unable to start, if the plugs were getting that caked in carbon. You shouldn't need to be a mechanic to check the plugs though. Plugs are cheap, spacing tool is cheap, you only need 4 plugs, and you can find...

What's wrong with the beater? If it's something you could do yourself, you could hobble along while keeping an eye on a few different models you like. That way can get an idea of the market to become an educated buyer. Before the auto market insanity of the last few years, used sports cars price...

HEB owns Central Market, so it technically counts as HEB!

Don't know why anyone would chose to live east of Dallas and north of Conroe, unless work or family takes you there. If you want to build a retirement home in flat green woodlands, you might as well move to Arkansas to take advantage of the lower property taxes. Texas hill country is at least...

The most important question you have to ask yourself, when buying a home in Texas is: "How far is it to the closest HEB grocery store?" If you find an HEB, the chances are that the area is of high quality.

Sounds like you are asking for a safe short term investment that has slightly better returns than inflation but still allows you to stay liquid. I don't think that exists in current conditions. As for when a bubble will burst, only Jim Cramer knows that. If you read forever bears like Zero...

I keep getting fucked on rolls on my level 70 weapon for barb and its taking forever. Just passed 2 hours and still level 44.

Corvettes are the best sports car for the money and it's a fun car to drive. I have kept my C6 bone stock and not had an issue for 80k+ miles. From what I recall, replacing the heads is one of the cheapest mods to do when looking at $/hp ratio. Afaik, the main failure points for hard driven...

Don't recognize him and never heard of him, but I guess that's nice.

Does your state have a lemon law or something like a 3 day refund requirement that such problems would be covered? Hopefully you didn't have to just eat that shit sandwich.

Edit: the previous one looks like a Idolomantis Diabolica. There are a bunch of cool looking Mantis species out there. Such as the Orchid Mantis:

Still loosing $1 (like ~50%?) a share? Owch! Where you looking to hold it a while or did you buy in at the beginning of the year and get stuck?

Moon Goddess (Mene) in season one and most of two was "dead" (reincarnated as Fymryn the elf). She was killed by the Blood Moon Goddess Selemene (the Evoker's love/baby mama). When we jump to the world remade number 12,172 (or whatever it was) midseason, the Evoker made that world where...

Read backwards every now and then you do not?

The question is, why are you in this, to build for retirement or to gamble? If it's to gamble, cash out enough that you get all of your initial investment back, then let the rest ride. If it somehow goes to 0, you lose nothing but gains. If it's building for retirement, set a gains goal and...

Certainly. I would rather have an overt outside system than an anything inside, if I lived in a high crime area, but some people cant stand looking at such things (especially women). For a low crime area, I am fine with some corner cameras covering the drive way, garage, and front door, in order...

If you want your security system to blend in more with your house, Interior cameras have a better chance of catching the faces of criminals. To catch faces and have a better chance at license plates, an outdoor only system would need to be more overt, with a few mounted at eye level. Doorbell...
