<makes sad Mini Cooper noises>

Of the few times I walked into a dealer, and gave them a price range I’d like to work with, they would try to steer me away from the 500 or 750 every time to a used full dressed bike. If they even had one on the showroom floor, they had them tucked away in a corner. One even had it behind a wall of boots and clothing…

My wife and I drove one of this generation, and I remember it being entertaining to drive and toss around the business park near by the dealer. It was a decently comfortable interior (I thought better than the Veloster we had also driven).

I was at the point where I had pieced together my network from castoffs of a used router, switch, AP’s, etc, and when I was no longer able to get firmware fixes for my Sonicwall, I made the decision to go full board to keep management simple - I deal with enough stuff for the day job, having that single pane of glass…

I’m in a near similar situation here. We’ve gone the UniFi route and we’ve been rolling upgrades to our AP’s, and upgrading our neighbor’s access in the process as well. This week we added the final AP we needed in our house, and now have excellent coverage throughout the property, soon we’ll add at least one mesh AP…

Once again, the Fiero proves it’s revolutionary forward thinking!

I mean May is already there so..

Look up when steering fails on a truck, the videos are scary as hell.

The fact that automakers no longer tie instrument panel lighting to the headlight switch is the prime contributing factor to this ongoing road hazard

Lower Decks really could have been a miss, and I was worried it would be, but *damn*, did it nail the landing better than it had any right or expectation to.

They wouldn’t be the first to use off the shelf parts but... yea, that is exactly what they seem to have done

My depleted beer shelf and bourbon bottles would disagree from the last porch chat with an editor and staff writer. Then again this is Wisconsin so...

Thinking of my journalist friends, I’m not sure they can show that much drinking in primetime.

Hm, maybe. I don’t recall my key having that resistor though in the middle of the key like I remember GM doing for a long time. The car is long gone now though, even if I still miss it’s basic and otherwise reliable service.

I should have clarified - it would not *crank*, it was not an ignition issue, it would simply not crank, and behave as if the neutral safety switch was not engaged. Cold (first thing in the morning) or hot (starting after a run to the store) didn’t seem to be a variable. Swapping the switch did not change the…

Predators was personally my favorite of the sequels, imperfect, but darn good.
