I’ll bet even the dealer use one of those suck it from the dip stick gizmos. Mighty vac?

I bought three of these a year ago - yes the refurbished for $33/each back when I got ‘em. Great WiFi coverage over a three story Victorian house. They Eero do a support/security update about every three months in the middle of the night and it resets itself after. I’ve never had to mess with...

I’m not going to try and defend the program. But if you think it is all “ Chinese junk” you would be wrong. The nice part of the program is you get to decide what you want sent to you. In the last 3 months, partial list of my Vine haul: Neoprene boot waders Neoprene stocking foot waders...

I eat a can or so of sardines every week, plain from the can on crackers and put 2-3 anchovies on my salad every day. More anchovies if it’s a Caesar salad. Worcestershire sauce is essentially aged anchovies. Anchovies provide an easy way for adding the fifth taste we all crave -umami...

My wife does girly stuff and kitchen and bathroom item reviews and I do tools, car, household and repair items. We only order stuff we can use. We each left a two star review yesterday. I’d say we average about 4 stars. My wife is especially tough if it’s a POS. I’m very direct in the text if...

Gf huh? Taking labor payment out in trade I guess or I’d let her deal with the consequences. Best way to learn is to touch the hot stove. Want someone to touch something? Tell them that you just painted it and the paint is still wet. Look away.

The tax thread made me think about my IRS experience with my Vine items. In 2023 I got about $2600 of “free” stuff through Vine and Amazon sent me a 1099-NEC in January 2024 for the value of the items as stated in the agreement. I did the input for my and my wife’s regular income first so I...

Sorry. Should have included that. My son is my broker/buyer. 😀 We combine our orders for discounts. From Targetsportsusa.com. Not a huge order, 1000 rounds of 9mm for me alone and 10,000 rounds of CCI 22lr we split. My son gets an additional 8% off the sales price, not exactly sure why but...

FYI. Purchased 9mm Today - 23.38 cents per round for 1000 rounds of CCI Blazer 115grain, full metal jacket. Shipping was free, state sales tax additional. In same order I bought 5000 rounds of CCI 22lr mini mag. 0.671 cents/round for the 22lr

Gender studies major is my guess.

In my state, I have to answer pretty much the same question in order to get a fishing license. Answer “No” and you are automatically denied a fishing license. I’m not certain if those who check Female on the application have to answer the same question. It seems anything that my state can...

Colleges invest in the infrastructure that potential students and mostly parents want for their little precious. When my daughter was visiting NE colleges and taking the tours offered to prospective students it became obvious what the colleges felt that parents and students valued. Now that...

Getting other quotes is a good idea. When a roofing contractor doesn’t want to do a job he doesn’t tell you that up front, he just gives you a ridiculous estimate and knows you won’t use him. This is common in the roofing industry and it makes some feel they got a great deal when they get a...
