on the flip side, market swings and product unavailabilities are both somewhat globally understood by everyone right now, so it's easier to raise prices and blame your product distributors for the increases...

Circling back to this convo. I picked up a Pixel 6 on a google Fi plan. Been playing with it for almost a week. Service has been very good in my area, always in 5g. Unlimited data with 50GB a month before slowing for $65/mo, no contract. Unlimited hotspotting of data. I think my AT&T work phone is unlimited data that slows after 25GB and only allows me to hotspot 5GB of data before it slows me on hotspotting. Going to give it a few months of testing to see if I stick with it or just buckle and pay the 120/mo for standard internet service. I needed a personal phone again anyway so this works for now.

I don't know much about CNC machines so maybe this clip seems more impressive to me than what it actually is.

While driving to sis in law’s house, I heard lawn mower sound so I looked around to see anyone was mowing their yard, but nothing. I keep hearing that lawn mower for… at least 4 lights & I thought I was going crazy. At 5th light, I saw beat up Del Sol next to me sound just like lawn mower. We all joke Honda sounds like lawn mower, but never did have I heard Honda sound 1 cylinder, dual blade, 5 adjustable lawn mower like that Del Sol.

yesh, because a 70's plymouth product doesn't have enough reliability issues. lets put an electronic-laden, overly-complex motor of the 3rd reich into it!

i understand lemons even less than i understand emojies and 'just' boxes. combined.
i skipped around the video because the format sucked. something about a judge said a supra can't run without a billion lap deduction, but they can run a corona with the 1jz. then a tree fell on the car, but the mechanics all survived by crawling into the corona because of the super strong lemons racing cage, for reasons that i don't understand are relevant to any part of this, then they ran the 1jz on avgas, which obliterated it, and now somehow v8's are legal in lemons when installed in a 20+ year old chassis?
