When I sold Chevys (2005), you could buy a regular cab WT Silverado 4x4 w/plow package (bigger alternator, stiffer springs up front) for $16,000. I had guys who came in September, bought the truck, earned triple its value over the winter, and sold it in March.

GOOD POINT - thanks!

Use zinc. It works. Expensive, but effective (way more so than “SPF-super-high-number” chemical screens). Also better for reefs.

Yeah, at $300/month you’re not going anywhere anytime soon on those. Personally, I’m hoping that the forgiveness is still in effect on the income based repayment option by the time I hit year#25.

It is not the worst thing to be released under the Star Wars brand by far (looking at you, Holiday Special, also goddamn prequels). Pretty solid movie. More entertaining than some of the MCU films, smarter than Jurassic Ugh Why Are We Still Making These, wider appeal than hipster chow like indies/foreign. There’s a…

It is fast and cheap

I don’t know if there’s a record of Jesus ever writing anything down. From what I understand, he mostly just spoke to crowds.

+1 for the Sam Neill reference.

Moved to northern NM from NY, same here. Eeeeveryone eats supermarket sushi from the local Smith’s, and I’m horrified...yet also impressed by their immune systems.

My knives said “never needs sharpening!” on the box, and yet...

I found allergy shots to be effective. By month 6, you don’t even notice anymore.

Base Blazers start with 18-inch wheels, with the RS and Premier trims getting 20-inch wheels with the option to upgrade to 21-inches.

Amazing how many base ingredients “add egg, add flour, and fry” works for.
