    Fuel Additive Hyundai Sonata

    I have the 2.0 PFI in my 2022 Kia Soul and my plan of attack has been top-tier fuel, 5k mile OCIs, Mobil 0w40 FS but I'm going to now transition to Valvoline 5W30 Restore and Protect, and I run a bottle of Techron and a bottle of Barryman B12 every OCI. My rationale, keep the pistons/rings as...

    Bigfoot...what do you think?

    How many large terrestrial mammals have gone uncaptured and undocumented and only recently been found? None. Even the shyest of large animals are routinely encountered in the wild and have been captured and documented. Before someone thinks the answer is there are just so few of them, if there...

    Rusting in Kansas?

    When it snows and that can vary greatly from year to year. Your question doesn't really make sense because it requires omniscience to answer satisfactorily and so the only sensible answer is every vehicle must be inspected to determine rust damage.

    Rusting in Kansas?

    It depends on the specifics of the area too - how much salt, how often it's used, etc. Massachusetts uses salt and while there is certainly some surface rust under my 4.5 and 5.5 year old vehicles, it's really pretty minimal.

    Texas has one of the lowest energy costs in the US

    It must be because Texas has the highest energy production using renewable energy of any state in the union. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/slideshows/these-states-use-the-most-renewable-energy

    Fine German engineering here

    I initially thought I could prove your wrong since my RX 350 is pretty straight forward with both the oil drain and oil filter being super easily accessible. Then I remembered you have to disassemble the entire air-intake just to change the rear bank of spark plugs. You are correct, most of the...

    New “min” wage

    UConn had several dental school faculty who were not department heads and they were semi-retired making $350K per year and they will continue to make that for life into retirement - they no longer offer this but back in the 70's and 80's they were giving these deals out. The number 1 and 2...

    Vacation rental issues

    You have to be careful online. Two summers ago the family and I were in Paris and then London. The Paris apartment was awesome, actually so much better than I thought it would be. The original London apartment canceled three weeks before the trip so I had to scramble and we ended up in Camden...

    New “min” wage

    I often find people are better at identifying imperfections than they are at understanding that many times something imperfect is still the best option available. We know what happens with zero inflation, we know what happens with negative inflation, and we know what happens with high inflation...

    New “min” wage

    A President gave a speech and told an untruth? You don't say... There is what FDR wanted/promised and there are the realities of today.

    New “min” wage

    So this enters into the great debate about government regulation. I have said here several times if left to their own devices, businesses in a totally self-regulated market are a nightmare because they don't self-regulate, they plunder and pillage to their benefit. Only $12.50 of that $23.55...

    New “min” wage

    The fact is setting a minimum wage above the market equilibrium price results in a scarcity of minimum wage jobs. I agree with SC Maintenance that these jobs were never meant to provide a living wage but they clearly are the only option for many people. So, if you're actually employed and...

    ID for buying Booze

    It was neutral until you applied some baseless judgment to it. Do everyone here a favor, stop thinking so hard about what I do or don't believe outside BITOG. No one cares...myself included.

    ID for buying Booze

    Not sure how you can pretend to know my position based on my very neutral statement. You assume you know too much and you don't have any idea what my thoughts are or aren't.

    ID for buying Booze

    TV has lots of people worked up about lots of problems that don't really exist but these wedge issues keep the masses coming back for more. Turns out, fomenting hate is good for business.

    ID for buying Booze

    It's used to "augment" crappy drugs and unfortunately, drug dealers don't check their dosages and units. Add too much and the normal bolus of heroin is now deadly.

    What are you doing right now?

    Summer courses are shorter and as a result a bit more intense. I also had no academic background in business before starting the MBA so I sometimes don't even know what the gist of a particular course is before I take it. Corporate finance is turning out to be math-centric and fun and I'm...

    ID for buying Booze

    Fentanyl has been around since the late 1960s and is commonly used in sedation and anesthesia. The issue with fentanyl is it is 100x more potent than morphine and 50x more potent than heroin and in the hands of someone who is used to pushing morphine or the equivalent heroin dose, it's really...
