TO RIDE IN THE BACK OF THE STATION WAGON }
Ha! My brother and I always rode in the way back of our station wagon. A Volare. There’s was a lot of “Hold on, I’m turning!” like in your cartoon panel.
And, it should be mentioned, SUVs are are way more lethal (to what they hit, head on) than are station wagons.

I've held it for years at a loss.
I think PFIX is one of those funds that mathjak was hawking recently ^
Last December I finally sold the only stock I'd owned since 2008. A gold stock. Had been losing since I bought it 20 years ago -- at a loss.

The missus and I went for Korean food at a local place. They do traditional Korean food but turned up to 11. Giant portions, extra spicy, extra savoury, that kind of thing. We then chilled at home with some gifts we exchanged and chocolate cake.
Here, Smithers, I’ve got one more Hezbollah pager meme to distract you from your studies. In honor of the flyover during Nasrallah’s funeral, which was supposed to be in an undisclosed location

Hey, when you switch to your new PC, are you you going to be copying the files over from the old one, or it’s not necessary?
They are both on dropbox so all files in dropbox are automatically getting synced.
For other sets of files that are somewhat static - music, software, pictures - I've started copying to it from external hard drives. I think I have three drives in the new computer totaling about 8 TB.
This one has two, totaling about 3.5 TB.
I think I have over 5 TB total of information.
I've found it better to use smaller drives than bigger ones as it hurts when those 8 TB drives die and take everything with them. Now I'd rather have that same information over two or three drives.

Why is my coffee burr grinder grinding less and less, meaning I have to run it longer and longer to just to make 20 oz of coffee?
I guess it needs maintenance but in the meantime, where are all the grounds going?

I have to take off the bean holder and top grinder burr assembly and vacuum out the really fine, almost dust, from my Capresso burr grinder weekly. A possibility for you?
Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. Psalm 146:3
I’ll try that! I already cleaned the burs and bean-hopper this morning but I didn’t think to vacuum out the innards. Just have to figure out which vaccuum to use.
