>>>Getting a little off topic, I was/am interested in the phone call I got. Is the guy supposed to represent me, a fellow employee, or the State? Unless it's your (who you are paying) doctor or attorney or someone registered with the SEC (like investment adviser), trust no one---especially when...

Stellantis needs to go Full Hyundai with their bumper-bumper warranty. But I bet someone crunched the numbers and said, "not possible, boss" 🤣

Home electric distiller (stainless steel) cons: slow (might need 2 or more), relatively cheap.

Veering off-topic.... Given OP's health history, OP should find out his/wifey's water source history. home well, city-river, city-lake, etc. there tends to be less cancer in urban areas than rural---nirates, natural radioactive elements in water might be the answer. but it is an unanswered...

>>>>One big difference is that employer pension plans are guaranteed by the federal government, but Only a portion... I don't know the exact number. ask google, search for: pension benefit guaranty corp, max benefit protected

no tips for the Dells...but if you're not a Wisco regular; don't speed in Wisconsin. (not literally but you know what i mean) they enforce speed *way* more than Illinois with a much lower tolerance. No 15/20 over the limit just to keep up with traffic during off-peak hours around...

If friend stays in the system, it's"account magic" and can is kicked until retirement age...as ND probably does not have a state law that the system is xx% funded. If friend (just to make up a number) takes a lump sum, the state has to cut a $100,000 check. Regardless of political party...

One (reasonable) guess.... The actuarial value of your pension (aka state's total cost) depends on interest rates. When interest rates were essentially zero, the "net present value" (the amount that the state is on the hook) was higher then than today. If your state's pension dept. think...

that is the correct answer. IIRC, the Altima is 2.5 NA w/CVT. on a related note...

no one can give anything other than a vague or knee-jerk opinion w/o: how long you intend to own the car; likes/dislikes/needs; etc. At the *right* price and ownership length, an Altima is reasonable. the devil is in the details---as with most things in life

being close to family. since I have the most flexible schedule, I am the de facto old folks helper. Downside: often thinking to myself "how did this happen???" like when my mother's brother-in-law's Hotmail account got phished. Upside: hopefully no one will have to be sent to an old...

i wonder what Mazda Skyactiv's secret sauce is????.... 4 cyl? less aggressive deactivation? fuel patterns?

at the right price, most people will think twice about most things.

depends on your state.... for some states, you speed, you lose your right of way (say someone makes a left from the oncoming lanes). then if it gets to civil court, fault depends on your state too. 50%-50%, etc. so obviously it depends on which side you are. then throw in things like...

years of absorbed marketing is hard to shake off---even if you know that (most) marketing is bunk. Funny how Valvoline invented high mileage oil, but never gets the glory for it anymore.

Just throwing this out if peeps haven't seen it. It could be nothing; it could be something. allegedly the airplane involved was having cabin electronics issues on the leg into India...

>>Some reports say a passenger in seat 11A "walked away"? If so, that is incredible given the video. looks like they're talking about this very lucky man? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14806301/miracle-escape-survivor-air-india-crash.html " ....Speaking to local media from his...

Convenient time to remember that social media platforms and algos want eyeballs and to harvest outrage-engagement. not measured commentary about fast-moving events, lol

looks like the final moments were well-documented on video. should be an open-shut case once all the data is acquired. unlike the rudder issues that Boeing had on some 737s in the early 90s

My brothers and I would argue about who got to sit in the foldaway rear-facing jumper seats in the back of our dad's sky blue Chevy Impala station wagon. try explaining to a 16 y.o. leaded gas, and having her unbuckled grandma holding baby Uncle in her lap in a car full of maroon velour, while...
