Oh definitely! Of course. I'm glad you did. :)

That's pretty nice. Another benefit of the lease is not having to deal with paying to replace the batteries as they wear out over time.

I'm holding my breath for the Tesla Model 3. With State and Federal rebates, etc, it's (theoretically) going to be quite reasonable price-wise.

That's a great point to hear. I think in 5-10 years my daily driver will be an electric and it will be nice to make gas pumps a thing of the past.

i'll second this - it also gets you something perhaps not quantifiable in dollars, but equally valuable, which is space. no more stocking up on bottles/cans, then finding room for the returns, and schlepping them to the store.

Honestly, I'm amazed that my Book Overboard Count = 1. Not that there haven't been many near misses. I've even partially submerged my iPad before, but at least there I can put it inside a large ziploc bag and still be able to turn pages. My Dex score isn't nearly high enough to be able to do that with a book.

Anna, everyone makes bad calls on the internet now and then. People who are able to own their mistakes are few and far between. Even fewer are those who offer abject apologies. Kudos.

The only book I ever dropped in the tub as a kid was the first book of Tad Williams' Otherland series. Not a big loss.

It's scary how similar my story is.

I'll shoot for being the second mouse from now on then. I want all the cheese.

Looks like a dead roach.

Few things in film history are more boss than a drunk Doc flipping his guns in opposite directions while holding a cup.

A fine appraisal missing one minor detail. Ahem.

It depends. if you bash up your tools a lot like I do because they are used heavily on work sites, not worth it as I replace them every 2 years when the batteries start to lose capacity. If you barely use tools and they sit in a toolbox all nice and clean most of their lives, again I dont recommend spending the…

I pretty much do the same thing except with a PFSense custom firewall, just an old desktop with 2 NIC's. I can see the benefit to using one of those Ubiquiti units though, especially if you want to use the Ubiquiti access points, I'm sure that box gives you some sort of unified interface to control everything from. I…

In that case, you can't go wrong with a Ford E350. It will run forever, has space for everyone, and even has great amenities. MPG is decent if you get one of the smaller engines (Triton V8), and since they've had a long production cycle, there's one for any budget.

First make sure those quotes are itemized and out-the-door prices. Often dealers will quote a low price on the car only to make up for it with other fees. Once you have that take the lowest price and play it against the other dealers. See if they budge, but know that sometimes dealers will send you their lowest…

Nothing says ghetto quite like using cinderblocks as furniture.
