    2022 Toyota Tacoma SR5, V6

    I think so. Slow, but bullet proof. That dual vvti 4.0L NA V6, in my biased opinion, is the most reliable production engine ever made. I said this in another thread, but the Car Care Nut on youtube, who is a seasoned Toyota mechanic, has said he's never had to tear one down, and that engine...

    2022 Toyota Tacoma SR5, V6

    The engine and transmission don't like each other. Test drive it. Get a feel particularly coming out of, say, a right hand turn where you're going 10mph and hit the gas. Gonna be a lag. Gear hunts on the interstate between 5th and 6th so most people force it to stay in 5th. The engine needs...

    Of course, that's not a balanced diet.

    Adding More Protein to Diet Ideas

    You can go ahead and slam 100g of protein into your body in one sitting. I'm not doing that, regardless of the paper. :rolleyes:

    Adding More Protein to Diet Ideas

    Just watch how much you're getting at one time. The body can only handle about 20g protein at a serving and will probably just purge the rest, so it might be better do the pure protein 2-3hrs later as opposed to adding it to an already high-protein food.

    Adding More Protein to Diet Ideas

    Any processed deli meat, even turkey, is considered to be carcinogenic, a lot of it due to nitrites and nitrates. It doesn't really have anything to do with the meat itself. Go roast a chicken or turkey and get it that way, not from the deli.

    25 ft sharks off the Channel Islands

    The direct effect of El Nino on warming ocean water is in the equatorial Pacific, not off SoCal. Linking El Nino to warming waters off California would contain a multitude of steps in between to make that conclusion (but still a possibility). That said, ocean water temperatures are just warmer...

    Adding More Protein to Diet Ideas

    Plant based protein is where it's at. I'd say stay away from dairy based whey and such, but I'm anti-dairy except for the local ice cream place lol. The Vega brand is pretty good and sweetened with Stevia, and I mix it with vanilla oat milk. Not too shabby.

    Good on you for adopting an older cat. I adopted a 9yr old cat a few years back.

    I always love to see the different color distributions of Calicos. Mine is about 50% black, 30% white, 20% orange. The other side of her has more black...this is the "lighter" side! Meet Margot:

    Pasties, a 1800s era miner's lunch. A contemporary take on pasties.

    In West Virginia, due to the high numbers of Italian immigrants there, coal miners ate boat loads of pepperoni rolls...basically just pepperoni and mozzarella jammed into pizza dough. Still very popular there. And because of those Italian backgrounds, West Virginia has some *very* good Italian...

    I would say why didn't you just change the filter anyways, but after having one, that filter location suuuuucks. I couldn't get it to not be a mess even with the dang freezer bag...

    Rainy weather in Florida

    Your two cents are correct in that it will vary, and yes, a wetter snow will have a lower ratio, dry powdery snow will be a higher ratio.
