    I would get a new vehicle before attempting that feat.

    But animals can also turn on ya. And I think people do respond to kindness and forbearance.

    Animals can turn but they have to obey their instincts, the voices we can never hear. A shark remains god's own innocent, even as he eats you.

    The ember tetras might possibly get an inch and a quarter long. Typically, they get to be about an inch long. They also have really tiny mouths.
    The otocinclus might get two inches long. They usually grow to about an inch and a half. They are vegetarians.
    The shrimp grow to be three fourths to an inch long.
    I don't expect the shrimp to get eaten.

    I think it was illegal. I was told it was illegal to install them in straight drives at least for that very reason

    I have greater concerns about locking myself out TBH. It is why I have always given one of my sisters my valet key to any vehicle I have owned. If I get the Sentra, I may have to leave the sunroof open just in case whenever I park :relax:

    The quality of Nissan has slipped in the last few years, Toyota and Honda are still well made, in either case I'd go for the most popular models.. nothing "wierd".

    I haven't looked at Edmunds, but I 'm pretty sure KBB has sold out, I need to find a reliable indicator of wholesell (trade-in) values, wifey wants to buy my Mom's old SUV .. a 2017 Mercedes thingy.. a 3.5 l, I don't like it, no one nearby to work on it should it need it,, AND Mercedes ain't what they used to be either.

    How did you motor go bad? Usually that's the last thing on modern autos to make them necessary to replace.. What was it?

    I was on the Ann Coulter Onlione Chat Forum for years.. perhps around 20.
    I work in an office by myself.. AND live in a town were the lingua franca is Spanish that makes it difficult to have deep intellectual conversations, so online chats have been my "society"

    Coulter never came to the forum and finally got tired of hosting it, I was one of the last to leave it (even made me a mod, as there almost noone else left!

    Migrated here.. in all the time I've been here, I've only identified one other refugee from ACOC, which just seems wierd, I know the internet is a big place,, but I figured a few more people with interst similiar to those on ACOC would migrate here.

    I have been using a delivery service to bring a meal. Last evening I went back to the satisfactory restaurant and put part of it aside for today.

    Thank you for that tidbit. The inbreeding of companies driving things like real estate prices, car prices, prescription prices has become quite the 'thing.'

    We need some bleach in the corporate pool.....

    I've been on numerous forums. I got kicked of Hannity's forum over a decade ago, for suggesting a republican was wrong about something.
    I never got kicked off Ron Paul's forum; I just left. I like him, but some of his supporters - yikes.
    I left the free state project forum because they started actively posting home addresses of people on the forum who they didn't like.

    When Dan Carlin shut down his forum; I came here. Several others came too, but only one has stuck around.

    Something happened to one of the cylinders. They aren't sure what as I never got to the "Well rip it apart" phase of the process. They did numerous tests on every other possibility--injectors, electronics, spark plugs, wires. etc and the cylinder is basically all but dead. No real compression in it. Could be rings, valves, or anything inside of it but I decided it was better just to start looking instead of dumping more money into it. I never had much luck with rebuilding in the past and a new motor was going to be pretty expensive for the value of the car.

    No.. no point into dumping money into it.. certainly is strange to drop a cylinder like that tho' , almost never happens with modern motors

    One other before I came here and the reason I came was that forum closed down. I came here and stayed.
