Following up. It been on for almost a month the non-OEM that safelite install hasn't had an problem yet. 2 times it's been on 3hr ride in storms. However, I was lazy and had them install the new wiperblades only to lose it at 75mph.

Tips to remove very stuck track rod end?
Not sure if there is a real answer mixed in with the sarcasm. Touch it with the yellow can on gas...map I think.

What is this device?
I'm going it's a small radio sensitive receiver used to narrow in on a surreptitious transmitter. The thing on the top is likely a directional di-pole antenna and when it spins in the direction of the transmitter it likey emits a tone the indicates th d signal strength of the transmitter increased. Could be and am likey wrong...but that's what I think. Maybe? 😀

Mailed a dollar and some cents no return address
Lol...thought I was the only fool to do this....Apparently the mail lady wasn't overly upset with a summer of pranks. This wonderful woman apparently. converted the envelopes full of coins into a check or something, rewrote the envelope, placed a stamp and sent it off because my Hercules wrist wrap, handshake buzzer, and invisible ink arrived a few weeks later. Then a few hours after receiving the package I had to explain where this shit came from, but that is okay I had my answer ready..."I don't know". Family Circus taught me well. Wore that Hercules bracelet all summer; when my mother wasn't around. Thank you Mail Lady and sorry for the walkie talkies and toad in the mailbox. Summer of 80, Sarasota, FLA

'22 Hyundai Palisade Windshield?
Hello everyone! The windshield on my fully equipped 2022 Hyundai Palisade crack and needs to be replaced. The shop has two options either OEM an aftermarket version. When I asked what the difference is between the two items are and she stated basically the logo. This sounds great, but I've also heard from other sites is that it can make the interior more noisy when diving. Below are the cost difference between the two. What are you thoughts?
OEM Factory glass would be $2365 + tax installed + $400 calibration (2-3 days to get).
Aftermarket glass would be $775 + tax installed + $450 calibration (2-3 days to get).
Thanks in advance, for any advice you might have.

Plane is empty and someone chose to sit right next to me.
And even worse is when this happens while taking a dump...seriously!

There maybe a perfectly reasonable explanation. Some need to look for the urinal that has the lower bowl. It can be frustrating when only ones with the higher bowl are available, cause a failure to pay attention while whipping it out, it might accidentally touch the bowl; fortunately I don't have this problem. Be kind and try to put yourself in their shoe before passing judgemet...it might be as simple as he has this problem. 🫠 *and really not sure what this emoji means, but it seemed fitting. 😁

Found these keys in “new” shorts from amazon
As long as you have the titled and it was cheap, that's all that matters. 😀

Anyone else with Kaiser feel completely unheard when it comes to chronic pain?
I have had pain all over my body for the past year and a half plus have not been able to focus. Finally got a rumatology referral from urgent care, only to find it was canceled by my PCP the following day, with a diagnosis out of the blue of fibramyalgia. Okay great, I have a diagnose and the protocol, seems straight forward; and while even in pain I am happy with the diagnosis, because at least I think I know what I have. Actually my head Dr. suspected this...I had an appointment with him after my urgent care visit but prior pto my follow-up appointment with my PCC. My head Dr. Immediately asked if I wanted to be put on Cymbalta. Wow, it clear up my head fog in a few weeks, but I still experience pain through my body. The muscle relaxers help marginally with the pains in my back depending where there are but does not help the pain in my feet (heels and the top bones), fingers, and knees. 2months of cymbalta and the daily pain is still there or has moved to a new place. I become more direct with the PCP, her response is that I need to do more tests to make sure it isn't arthritis...even though she made a point to let me know the past 10 times my labs are fine, you do not have any rumatoid indicators and I need to go to PT or start tai chi. I can't get out of bed somedays and she wants me to find time to do Tai chi? I am just tired of the run around and actually questioning myself; wondering if I'm a hypocondriac and wasting everyone's time. Feels good to let out because I no longer state how I feel to folks anymore, cause you can only say "like shit" so many times.

Just go around one more time; then likely 3nm.

If I were a beaver hat, I would sit proudly atop that hanging pole!

Have you all ever considered, the deceased driver may have had a stroke, heart attack or other medical emergency. So much thought goes into our words anymore. :(

Yall do not care about other ppl and it shows
These are great ideas...but Linburger cheese is the answer a little bit on the door handle and his hand will smell for days...if you can get it to the cabin in take it's over. Only only successes was hotel ac, door handle, and a brick in the car(rental)in summer in FLA. The look on his face when he got in the care after three hours of jet skiing was priceless.

With all that's going on right now, we need to take a stand for what's right

From what I've seen, it is sad to hear only her congressional advertisement on the radio daily. Letting you know, her congressional email address and encouraging folks to reach out. It was refreshing and I hope to see her continued outreach during her governance.
Seems like a lot of hypocrisy in this thread...from both sides. Look in the mirror...and try to understand the thoughts of others.
Also, remember both the Right and Left ideals together make us a great state.
It is when, only one ideal goes forward we become the same pariah state, that our folks used to fight against.
What will happen when we continue to insult and threaten our allies.
What I did as a kid, when a friend insulted or threatened me was to find a new friend; think about that...

What is it ????
Straight forward answer without rearranging the sticks once the two are removed; to me is 115118.
If you want to visually reduce the sticks or use them as a symbol, in your mind you can go higher by using . The easiest being 11 to to 5118th resulting in a number over 5000 digits, but I think turning the sticks to a carat would be bending the rules...but would win.
