    O.J. Simpson

    For the individual with a sense of self-preservation, it's best not to be the nail that stands tall. They always get hammered down.

    O.J. Simpson

    In less civil corners of the internet, some say karma finally had it's day. I say not. OJ lived to average US life expectancy. Cancer is karma they say. 1 in 6 people will suffer cancer demise. OJ was able to keep millions in a retirement account so he lived comfortably to the end. OJ's...

    More looking to the skies... In the past month, I saw two Falcon 9 launches from Vandenberg. Never gets old.

    My brother forced me to purchase a smartphone.

    I agree. 1970's to 1990 were great times. No social media. No hiding behind a screen. No Tik Tok. However, I still appreciate some of the features of my iPhone 14PM. Internet access is useful. So are weather and map apps. I don't use much else.

    My brother forced me to purchase a smartphone.

    I got an iPhone 14 P.M. because it has best phone performance in my area. I am in the hills so coverage is sometimes a challenge in certain weather conditions.

    Opinion: The long overdue death of the stick shift car

    Yup, brakes last longer because of engine braking. Clutches last a long time if not ridden on up and down shifts. Key to making clutches last is match revs.

    Opinion: The long overdue death of the stick shift car

    Stick shift is awesome. There are a few modern stick shift sedans that interest me. Lexus IS250 and 2007 Mercedes C350 are two that come to mind.

    Tool Time: Electric Impact Wrenches

    I have Milwaukee. Expensive but worth it. I had Ryobi but the batteries went bad. Should have paid more for Milwaukee up front.

    Windows 11 rant...

    I have a grand total of one hour on Windows 8 on my new Dell. I immediately upgraded to W10.

    Windows 11 rant...

    Mint runs on a variety of older hardware including iMac and MacBook computers. It runs Macs as fast as MacOS. I did not like the constant upgrading that went on with Mint. I realize that Mint is open source. I wish there was a central clearing house that releases updates like MacOS does.

    Windows 11 rant...

    I was Windows user up until about 2019. Found an old iMac 27 which I fixed up and installed High Sierra. Once I learned MacOS, it was just software to me. Then the benefits manifested. MacOS is free for hardware owners. MacOS is related to Linux so it is streamlined, efficient, and stable...

    My Auto Repair Shop Messed Up, (Big Time)

    Yeah, I don't see the repair going well but I could be wrong. If the car gets a new motor and it does not run well, I can see the shop saying go screw. See if the shop will buy the car for what it is worth. Then spend the money on another car that runs good.
