I've never seen a suspension setup like that, but the wheels look like local redneck wagon wheels. There's a truck near the office lifted a mile off the ground, with an articulated suspension, and I'd be amazed if it's even seen a gravel parkinglot, much less a boulder field. Shit's stupid. That's what happens when you let toddlers design vehicles. Well, that, and the Cybertruck :^D

Confederate?
Select one:
F' Biden
Let's Go Brandon

Select one:
Trump 2024
Trump 2020 (the cheapskate option)

Select one:
Confederate
U.S. - Blacked out
U.S. - Upside down
U.S. - Blacked out, blue line edition
MIA - POW

We used to see more No Step on Snek flags but they seem to have fallen out of fashion.
The 2nd amendment decals on the rear window come with the set.

lol.

The Confederate in AZ? I can go a few weeks and not see one in SC. What does the US upside down mean?

I have the Snek and NRA decals on my truck but I figure you already have me pegged as a righty.

Arizona was fairly evenly divided between Union supporters and Confederates during the Civil War (you know, about twelve people on each side). They even fought a battle. From about 1900 forward, Arizona went all in on white supremacy, even earning a spot on the preclearance list in the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the only non-Confederate state to earn the distinction.

The upside down flag suggests that the nation is in distress.

Interesting. I figured that was kept in the South. And..12 people, dang, it was.

FWP for today: woke this morning with the Insulin pump infusion set yanked out, and a blood glucose of nearly 400 (mg/dL) and me feeling like dogcrap.

I immediately 100% dismiss ALL "Amazon Vine" reviews and will NOT buy any product where they're a significant percentage of the "positives".
ReviewMeta extension sifts through the reviews and gives a nice breakdown so you can tell how many are legit reviews and the "real" item rating.

In future, get the CPU hot with Prime95 and try removing it immediately after shutdown while it's warm.
I also use a gentle twisting motion to free it from the HSF block, as opposed to trying to pull them straight apart.

Isn't it supposed to sound an alarm or beep incessantly when that happens? A very serious and life threatening flaw otherwise.

Nope, the pump itself will not unless there's an occlusion (blockage) that it can detect. If the infusion set just gets yanked out, the pump will continue to deliver basal, and it won't set off alarms.

Now, the CGM does set off alarms as your BG starts to climb, but if it doesn't wake you, it doesn't keep going off non-stop. It will emit 2 short beeps maybe every 10-15 minutes. It didn't wake me, obviously.

I received my numbered one step Van Halen record today and played it. I wanted to do an A B comparison with my original pressing. The original is gone. I went though all of my records. Its gone.

I think I accidentally took it in last time I was thinning my stuff out and traded it in at the record store...I got rid of my original and I think it was better than the 125 dollar record...

Quicken hosed an import last month. I just spent three hours straightening out the mess. "Your share balance in Quicken doesn't match your share balance online". No f'? I have never even heard of that fund, let alone bought any. "Please enter the cost basis for this lot." There is no lot! You made it up!

On the plus side, once I plowed through all the corrections, I came out richer than when I started, at least I hope so. :p

My fear is that the next time I attempt an import, Quicken will undo my good work.
