I have an unlocked Pixel 4a5g that has reached end of life as far as updates from Google (https://endoflife.date/pixel), but I want to install GrapheneOS for security reasons. However, if I install an OS like GrapheneOS, does it even matter if the phone is EOL? Any security updates would then...

Over time, I have read many posts from people that say the manufacturer oil recommendation for a given vehicle may vary, depending on where the vehicle was sold. In my case, I have a 2019 Toyota Tacoma with the 3.5L V6 motor, and MY manual says to use 0W-20. I decided to contact Toyota directly...

Because the car runs on hydrogen and, at the moment, all of the hydrogen refueling stations are located in California...I still thought this is fascinating. I just thought I'd pass it along. I have thought for a long time that hydrogen will overtake EVs as soon as they get a little more...

"Meets or exceeds all requirements of API SN, ACEA A3/B3, A3/B4, MB 229.5, 229.3, & 226.5, VW 50200/50500 & 50501, BMW LL-01 & LL-14FE plus, Porsche A40, Renault RN0700 & RN0710, PSA B71 2296, and Chrysler MS-12633/ MS-10725" I don't use this oil, but it seems like a good price that I came...

It's always been interesting to me that NFL teams have their own M.D. on the sidelines to examine players upon injury. I'll bet these Doctors have a pretty impressive resume to be hired for that type of job. I also think it would be pretty cool to travel with the teams. My Wife had knee surgery...

I've always wondered what these phrases mean, can you explain them to a sports novice in laymen terms? Let's use the upcoming Chiefs -vs Ravens game as an example...

I find the topic of scotch and whisky very interesting. I used to belong to a "wine of the month" club where I received two (2) bottles of wine every month. The idea was that you drank one of the bottles right away and just kept the other bottle to age and drink at a later time. Since aged...

Somewhere along the way, I have subscribed to Mobil 1 notifications. They sent me this e-mail titled "EPIC USA Road Trip Bucket List and Packing Guide". I've often wondered about some of the best places to visit and scenic roads to travel in the United States. I thought I'd pass this...

I like "The Car Care Nut" videos. I think they're usually very informative. I know lots of people swap out the OEM lights, bulbs, etc., but *I* personally think it's pretty risky given the complexity of modern car electrical systems. This 2023 Tacoma owner learned an expensive lesson. "AVOID...

I don't use this oil but it sounded like it might be a good deal (?)...so I thought I'd pass it along. https://slickdeals.net/f/17198356-5-quart-castrol-edge-5w-30-advanced-full-synthetic-motor-oil-european-formula-24-70-free-shipping-w-prime-or-on-35 and...

I've started watching this series and I'm on Episode 3 of 7, where they're talking about the Civil War.. If you're a history nerd as well as firearm nerd, this series is just chock full of fascinating stuff! One of the little tidbits I found interesting was how George Washington taught his...

I will soon be submitting my first oil sample to any oil analysis service. In this case, I have chosen WearCheck. They quoted me a price of $42.50 for the basic analysis. For those of you who do regular oil analysis, I was wondering if there's anything above the basic testing that WearCheck...

I don't own a Porsche, but I came across this blog article. I thought it was pretty interesting, so I thought I'd pass it along. https://tinyurl.com/45288d2f Ed

From some of you who really understand the nitty-gritty of oil composition, I'm hoping you can explain the basic differences between these Castrol oils for me? Castrol Edge Euro 0W-20 LL IV - https://tinyurl.com/yydwdaf2 Material Safety Data Sheet - https://tinyurl.com/2sk3t8eb Safety Data...

I have found some great videos online for creating your own hydroponic garden towers. Unfortunately, they don't discuss what type of lighting that might work well and help your plants flourish. I know plants require certain wave lengths (color temperatures, etc.) to photosynthesize. I'd like to...

I didn't know this (maybe you did), but I thought I'd pass it along. "The Immortal 1911 Pistol, After 112 Years, Finally Retired From U.S. Military Service" - https://tinyurl.com/28r34u6b Ed

From time to time I have problems with rats that like to make their cozy nests under our backyard deck. I've tried the traditional "snap traps" with limited success. Maybe it's the bait that I use for the traps or any number of other reasons, but I find them often ineffective. I have a new bait...

I found a website titled, "Historical Returns on Stocks, Bonds and Bills: 1928-2022" - https://pages.stern.nyu.edu/~adamodar/New_Home_Page/datafile/histretSP.html When you download the Excel spreadsheet (https://www.stern.nyu.edu/~adamodar/pc/datasets/histretSP.xls), you can see Geometric...

As of right now, I have Comcast cable service. Can you recommend a t.v. channel(s) to watch the best variety of old shows, of all generations? Thank you! Ed
