    Any car shows that aren't "Cringe Worthy"

    The motor trend (now called Turbo) pretty much shut down about 98% of new programming last year and now broadcasts virtually all repeats.

    Panhandlers at absolute perfect choke point- family in real need or hustlers/ con men?

    No telling who is legit and who is just looking for an easy way to get money with little effort. My guess is the majority are in the latter group so I defer contributing to any of these pan handlers out and about on the streets. As a point of reference, there used to be several women near my...

    Are you for or against Data Centers?

    Some tech works well, gets bigger and more powerful and remains an ever lasting part of everyone's lives whether they realize it or not. Other tech lives a short life, and disappears before too many years pass. I predict the first of those two outcomes is what we will be facing, with many...

    Struggle to commit to a 10,000Km oil change interval

    I did 7k or 8k mile changes (7.5k was the manufacturer recommendation) with my 4 cylinder Suby Outback over 100k miles, never a problem. Some heavy use, fully loaded down inside and on top with full size roof rack basket up and down the East Coast interstate on round trips of 2,600 miles a half...

    2018 Honda Pilot Recall replacement part warranty

    I suspect this would fall more to the Honda Corp covering this replacement rather than the dealer who would likely be fine with doing it under Honda's warranty cover.

    switch from Apple ecosystem to Android?

    I started with an Android phone (now a Pixel 8), after I retired I replaced my work laptop (Microsoft with a Go ogle Chromebook front end) with a chomebook. Keep all my home budget and finance monitoring spreadsheets, as well as PDFs of any important papers in our house on the Google drive...

    Friendly Friday at Walmart- what is happening?

    Our store is doing a full renovation, when the smoke clears it should be real good. During the renovation the employees seem to be able to tell us where specific items can be found.

    What is the point of home ownership

    If an ancient 2 bed house, little yard, basement and half a garage is available for $875, then there isn't much point to buy a house if that type of dwelling is satisfactory. I suspect this is a bit of a unicorn and not at all satisfactory for most though.

    Used Car Bargaining

    I suspect that on average, dealers leave a couple thousand on average for what it will cost to get the car prepped for sale to detail and fix some hiddent things that the buyers neglected to disclose. Selling one before they got it prepped means they have room to get the needed gross profit.

    New car loan payments $1,000 per month ...

    It would take a lot of miles (at least a thousand) and a huge increase in MPG (say like going from 15MPG to 40MPG with a hybrid on city streets) I would think to reduce a fuel bill by as much as $300

    ‘We Have No Chance Against This,’ Honda CEO Says After Seeing Chinese Supplier Factory: TDS

    There are several products I purchase that are manufactured and packaged in China for retail sale in the US. A year ago the public sentiment and financial markets were up in arms about the huge increase in costs for imported products due to tarrifs and the devasting consequences it would have...

    Amazon overtakes US Postal Service as largest parcel carrier

    IMO the first thing the USPS should do is to reduce daily letter delivery to 3 days a week. It would not cause any hardship to myself and most of my friends if that change were to be made. 80% to 90%, perhaps even a higher percentage of what I receive these days is junk mail that goes directly...
