I’ve done exactly what you feared - they printed me a new one and I was on my way.

Okay, I’ll be more brief, and use mostly your words:

Yes it has the label of a medical problem, and we could call this girl’s case racial dysphoria. My question is on what basis is one a delusion we should help them overcome, and the other one we should support them in embracing?

Just for clarification:

My wife and I have had 2 new and 2 used cars so far. We have kept every vehicle until it was 10+ years old. We’re currently on a 5 year old odyssey bought new that we plan to keep for at least 5 more, and an 8 year old forester bought used (plus a 30 year old S10 for home depot runs). When I replace my Subaru in the…

2 reasons:

Don’t feel too good about it in states like California though - they use it to pay the baseline educational costs, so they can reshuffle money that would have been used for education to other pet projects. Technically the money goes to education, but an equal amount that would have been spent on education gets shifted…

Also good - melamine sponges. They are one time use and done, and the Magic Eraser brand is way too expensive, but you can get generic ones for about 10cents each if you buy in bulk and aren’t in a hurry.

Simple answer - don’t update the first day it comes out so you can hear if it is crashing, but this one is pretty good for performance, and the security updates are always worthwhile so after a week or so its typically best to update, and absolutely worthwhile in the case of iOS 12.

Waiting for iOS text messages on my laptop. I’m 100% windows for computers and 100% iOS for devices, but I have a greater need for windows. Apple needs to play ball with Microsoft on this and help iOS devices have at least the essential functionality paired to a Windows - if not the wide swath of users who use Windows…

If they do not have one, they must sign an affidavit affirming their identity. The law is contentious, because it “creates criminal penalties for those who make false statements in their sworn affidavits,” reports the New York Times, “a move that critics of the law believe confuses and frightens potential voters.”

Totally agree - this is why the democrats have made a pivot. Different democrats have taken different tacks:

You left out one other set of things we know:

This is an excellent and practical list. I have a daughter with moderate special needs, and the church we are a part of has a huge disabilities ministry so we interact with disabled individuals on a regular basis. Isolation in society is one of the biggest problems that people with disabilities face, and almost…

Equally important is if they have such low mileage, they will likely not have had mechanical maintenance allowing plastics to crumble, moving parts to seize up, and fluids to leave deposits among other problems. I helped an elderly lady who owned a moderate-mileage classic Dart, but she was wise and asked me to back…

Totally agree on the shouting out clues. I took a team of engineering students to an escape room as a team building exercise. They almost lost because one guy found an important clue but was pretty quiet. Thankfully he spoke up at the right time his critical clue and we ended up with one of the top 3 times of the last…

And don’t think for a second it wouldn’t be all’s fair after that - if democrats grab control of the supreme court by expanding it while they have control and putting in liberal leaning justices the next election cycle conservatives would be even more motivated and put 2 more conservative leaning justices on the…

Did we watch the same thing?

That old Dart add brings back such mixed memories. I used to help take care of an elderly lady who had a red one in perfect condition. She kept it in her garage, and besides timing her trees, taking out her trash, and various odd jobs she also had me back her 30 year old classic out of the garage and into her driveway…

Pretty inexcusable. I know they always list the “don’t try this at home” or “professional driver, closed course” things on commercials but if a safety feature kicks in and damages the vehicle while doing exactly the same thing as a commercial designed to show you the capabilities of the vehicle it would seem valid…
