    When they said it lasts a year they meant on black trim 😂

    Technivorm Moccamaster 79112 KBT Coffee Brewer@Amazon 54% off.

    I always use demineralized water in my coffee machines. Urnex makes good cleaning chemicals.

    Back Surgery

    Lamenectomy around 2003, same area as yours. Recovered relatively quickly, had to incorporate walking into routine. I don't think about my back much but if I don't walk it'll become noticeable. I stopped walking for a long time when COVID hit, but I'm back into it now 2 miles every other day...

    FedEx now doing home deliveries?

    Got a 100lb lift table delivered residental recently (soCal) from TX. Box was beat up and relabeled.

    Toyota Crown Platinum

    I really wanted that model and trim a couple of years ago. I was getting close to buying. My mechanic put me in a 2010 Infiniti M35 instead.

    What to look out for buying a used Crown Victoria?

    There’s a dealer in Anaheim, Wild Rose, that sells and services police interceptors. I was trying to talk a former coworker into one, for reliability, cheap maintenance, and they can run E85 which is pretty cheap in SoCal nowadays.

    Can seal conditioners damage an engine?

    One recommended on here is AT-205. I used it. It seemed to help for about 5 years then the leak came back, and seal replacement fixed it.

    Just went to the last Fuddruckers in California

    Yeah, I’d make a side salad using lettuce and thousand island dressing. Good burger, always fresh baked bun. Restaurant had bad acoustics. First time I had a hard time understanding what someone was saying.

    How come no one is talking about OS age verification?

    I was concerned how Android was going to do it, since there are many automotive diagnostic scanners with old versions on them. Gemini says Google is implementing it at the Google Play Services level, which apparently is good back to Android 6.0. (I don't recall minors getting ahold of a scanner...

    How come no one is talking about OS age verification?

    I have a good idea how many engineering hours have been spent on SW and HW development using RedHat. A lot of it came from jumping off of Solaris. Red Hat is pretty much the only enterprise Linux you'll see in large Federal installations. Plus, IBM owns it. They'd never push back against that.

    How come no one is talking about OS age verification?

    In the US it only really matters if Red Hat implements it or not. As far as I can tell they will implement it. So, nothing to talk about.

    Repowered (Honda 190) Snapper commercial mower won't start. Haha, I'm officially old.

    I have a 30 year old Snapper Hi-Vac with Kawasaki power. Scored a cordless 82V mower on clearance. I still like the Snapper petrol better. It really vacuums up better, which is important when high winds dump leaves and debris.
