Wasn't there an old joke about Spiner asking ladies if they wanted an unlimited Data plan?

I think a lot of people might be interested in your story right now.

They were the first channel I thought of when I saw this.

Congratulations, you played yourself.

I see your point: I'm from the South. However, to be fair, these idiots seem to be everywhere now.

But claims that we the best music...I am now disillusioned.

Do you use lube or just coat it in sand for extra brutality?

Late Gen X, here. I'm embarrassed by the reactionary nonsense I've started to see regularly from my own generation. I'm lucky I didn't stay brainwashed with them.

The part that is problematic is lower down on the article:

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed but now they are full cities again," the multibillionaire owner of Tesla, SpaceX and X said.

Does Boondocks Saints qualify?

Yes! That's what I was trying to remember the name for...

 

It's got 250,000 miles and is $5,500. It's a former taxi service car, apparently. Obviously, a pre-purchase inspection would be a must. I've heard these cars are very reliable, but the mileage, accident history (3, not sure how serious), and potential status of the high voltage battery give me pause. I'm leaning against traveling to look at it, but I'm wondering if the model is just so good it's worth a try at that price point.

It would be replacing a 2015 Kia Soul with about 80,000 miles--Kia's engine woes have me spooked, so I'm considering trying to get something more likely to go for several hundred thousand miles. Any thoughts?

 

I'm looking to replace the HDD on an HP Pavilion dv 6 6130-us. It has an i-3 2330M CPU. I know it's old as dirt, but I'd like to use it to run old games. It's also the only thing I own with a CD drive.

I've upgraded the RAM to the maximum it will support (16 GB). I'm thinking an SSD will help it run a great deal faster, but I'm stuck on what to get. So far, the Crucial MX500 seems like a good choice, but I'm wondering if any semi-reliable cheap SSD will do for something this old. I have to stick with something with a 2.5 inch form factor that uses SATA. Thoughts?

 

I'm getting a lot of parts in languages I can't read. Can I filter for just my native language?
