    $5 billion in losses from cloudstrike? Can someone explain that

    According to this article, the Cloudstrike outage cost the US economy some $5 billion in losses. I'm not doubting that number, but I would like someone to explain the two largest sectors, healthcare and banking, which the article said suffered $3 billion of those losses. If I had a toothache...

    Headliner Fabric Starts Peeling Off, Good Way to Fix?

    I asked the same question here a while back, and this is what was recommended to me, although it was for material on the inside of the door, not the headliner: https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/b40069438/ It worked very well, and has stayed on for the 2 years or so after I applied it.

    Are you glad your dad (or mom) taught you the value of hard work?

    I do believe, as folks here have posted, that a good strong work ethic is crucial--at least, if you don't inherit a million bucks. It has really come in handy time and time again for me, when simply doing a "just good enough" job wouldn't have given results that were happy to anyone. I do have...

    Best glue for threshold at doorstep?

    Mounting tape solution is looking very easy. Yeah I will clean the surface, did it before, most of that dirt in the pic is simply stuff that has blown in because the threshold is loose. Thanks for the recommendations.

    Best glue for threshold at doorstep?

    Recently a light (aluminum?) threshold at a door in my house became unfastened. I tried glueing it with Scotch repair glue but that only lasted a couple of days. It was stuck fast for 20 or so years since the time I bought this house, and possibly 20 before that too. So I know there is stuff out...

    There is nothing like a Rolling Stones concert

    I don't think greed has much to do with this. Most musicians sing and play because that's what they love, that's what they do. Bands a lot less popular than the Stones will still play in small clubs, because that's what they can fill.

    Maybe prancing around the stage with that honey made him feel young again.

    There is nothing like a Rolling Stones concert

    Yeah Mick in the video has a range of like 4-5 notes. :) Given that he's only 5 years younger than my dad, that's pretty darn good. Is that Ron Wood standing next to Keith?

    There is nothing like a Rolling Stones concert

    The backing vocals in that song really takes it to the next level.

    Why change your own oil?

    I hear you. I don't think I would have started changing my own coolant, atf, & motor oil without youtube.

    Fram TG3600, 9022 miles

    Big praise coming from the king of BITOG C&Ps. :)

    Fram TG3600, 9022 miles

    WM has the XG3614 for $9.26, so I'd buy that if I wanted to move up. But if I end up unhappy with the TG (I have them on my Sienna and the Highlander) my next move will be to move away from Fram, and price out the competition, or possibly go back to a new filter for each OCI, and for that job...

    Fram TG3600, 9022 miles

    This is the first TG that I’ve cut open. Looks very good; I didn’t remove the media because I just wanted to see if the pleats were incredibly wavy or if there was a tear. I will be taking these TG3600s to 10K miles plus from here on out. Cuz I know Stude53 is going to ask: OUT: M1 frankenbrew...

    Nu Finish’d the Avalanche

    In that case, it looks even better for being outside for that long.

    Nu Finish’d the Avalanche

    Your paint looks like it is in very good condition for an 04. Is it garaged? Regardless, you just might have talked me into this as my next wax purchase.

    Excellent tire rotation results

    I'm a believer. My first set of tires on my Sienna from AT were junked early, because they were not rotated and the front pair were worn down, while the rear pair still had some tread life remaining. Regular tire rotations have never put me in that position again. And the incredible prorate from...

    In Congress, July 4, 1776

    Love that series. I teach college history, and whenever we cover the 1760s and the Revolutionary War, I recommend that DVD set from HBO. Not everyone learns history by reading books--and that series takes you through all the major events of the day, that John Adams (our second president)...
