Soo… Helicoil into the block or what?

Germany. Gas stations and restaurants are open, everything else isn’t.

“How likely are the people seeing me doing this to meet me again in life” has helped me tremendously in the guilt free acquisition of free range items.

Your stores are open on Sundays?

Whenever someone has to do this on an electric car that turns itself off after half an hour (or 90 seconds, looking at you Audi Q8 eTron), just jam something lightly onto the brake pedal, so far that has kept them all on. Cardboard boxes of filament work well for me.

I’d hate for the update to fail because the puny 12V boat anchor runs out of juice with all the kWh sitting unused under the floor.

Get an extension if one is available, much better than blasting between the cladding from a low angle when reaching for the upper rows.

So… Is there still room for the peas, or is it going to be a sunflower seed kind of year?

Happy wife and no more mowing the lawn, what’s not to like.

Well, that’s certainly more practical than the roof.

So, you’re moving the panels around? Are they sitting on the ground in a frame?

What I do is, I leave some lengts of the trunks in one piece, usually right before it turns too thin anyway and just put two of those beneath my firewood piles. Works just as well, especially if you’re stacking somewhere in the forest where you’d have to cart pallets there from miles away.

Alert fatigue is always a sign that the alerting isn’t on point enough. I have no good idea for a replacement here though.

Well, that explains the firm seats. It’s either that or you’re cuddling with your passenger in every spirited corner.

That sounds like a great idea but then it turns out that the backup vehicle also has a set of summer tires, a set of winter tires, different motor oil than your main vehicle, different gearbox oil than your main vehicle and suddenly your basement is full and you’re working on two cars. No problem though, because you could just get a cheap backup vehicle…

I have five because of this. I need help.

Yeah, but that isn’t prevented by turning the inverter off. 🤷

Huh, I always assumed MXM was a well meant but stillborn gadget standard. Neat to hear that it actually serves its purpose here and there!

What kid of form factor is used for that? Is it something brand specific?

Somewhat expensive but pretty temperature resistant.

It’s usually when they can stand by themselves that I decide they’re due.

No, no, I am kidding, however a week of normal office use, yeah, sure. I’d like them to die because of wear in the field, not in the washing machine.

Fun game to play in our village - put the wrong bin out on Tuesday evening for two hours, watch the confusion spread.
