Last Notes npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: Mazda engineers in the lab developing a new shade of grey. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: Yes please! npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: https://www.dispatch.com/story/opinion/columns/guest/2026/07/13/dating-politics-divide-opinion/90731580007/ npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: We're going to lime rock. Next weekend. the folks at nutmeg miata club rent the autocross course for the whole day. There will be new driver instruction. Then they open up the full course and do timed runs. Then it's free driving which lasts hours. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I took my neighbor for a second day of manual driving because she has to get better at getting into second fast. She got a lot better. she can launch hard every time which will be useful at auto cross just not great for the road. She is getting smoother. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: tobacco blunts are big in the north east. Most lesbians I smoke with mostly dab. Many call their girlfriends “my girl” for some reason. I don’t know if it’s a stoner archetype. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: where are you located that they smoke blunts? npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I think the closes you can get is the prologue. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: this is for a 19 year old with a limited budget. X5 is her dream car. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: this is a first car for a 19 year old. We can’t expect her to be as good as you at maintaining a car. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: we're the weirdos. it's in the name of the site. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: My neighbor who is going autocrossing next month with me wants an X5. I've hired a crisis counselour to help me cope with the fact that she doesn't like the cars that I think are cool I was trying to think of cars that are somewhat similar but much better for a young driver. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I'm going to need a more specific question npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I got a ticket to the Nutmeg (CT) miata club's autocross event a lime rock. it's the best deal in performance driving in the tri state area and it's once a year. This year I'm taking my college age neighbor as the driver. We're going to practice getting into second in a dead mall parking lot. she's a unusually good and defensive driver for a young person. She's also great at the racing sim pushing a little harder on each turn each time. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: Beautiful cat. It's kin of hard to tell from this pic, are they a lynx point? npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: The star player on the spurs is named VW and he's like 7'5". they should have named him Yukon or Tahoe. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I believe it was the Mazda mx6 npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: There are plenty of other cars that are cool auto commuters like a GTI/Golf R or elantra N. you just can't get great value hacking their lease. I really like the prius I just wish it wasn't so loud to make it easier for Jenny to sleep in. I'm probably the only person cross shopping a mustang and a prius. It has more to do with lease hacking than what I'm lookign for. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I love mazdas, but I love the idea of getting an eco boost as a high mileage commuter car. It's not that different than a rwd BMW 330. All the reviewers say it has soft camry like suspension. I'm commuting in NYC with my wife that's the suspension I want. it even has ventilated seats which the Mazda 3 doesn't have. My broker can get me a better deal on the mazda because the model is a little older now. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I've been car pooling with my wife to NYC. we work nearby, not in the congestion zone, and driving is less expensive than $28 day pass plus $6 subway fare times two people even paying $18 to park. I love the audi but it's weird puttign lots and lots of miles on it. I kind of want an auto GT car but with a turbo 4 for the right mix of power and efficiency for me. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I love manual cars more than the next guy but these EV simulated manuals are stupid. If I buy a EV I want it to drive like an RC car at times and be like a poor man's roplls royce at other times. If you want to make them like the manual sports cars we love just keep the weight down. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: My wife doesn’t drive or care about cars but she completely understands what cars I like. We walked out of the Greek restaurant and she saw this XM and imediately told me she was going to buy one for me cause she knew I hated everything about it. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: my mom just bought a crosstrek. She got the perfect sales person for her too. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: That’s amore! npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: RE cheap taycans npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: following this npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: #USPol npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: My parents bought a red one when they were brand new. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: The meshtastic web flasher is pretty good but it's pay to play. they only support devices that pay to be a part of the meshtastic project. mesh forge lets you take any compatible firmware projects and puts it on any compatible device without using a terminal or having any technical knowledge. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I was worried the Dev ben might think I'm stealing his idea, but we get along great. we are the only people in the internet with BBS firmware for meshtastic and we are both developing rich multiplayer games that work over meshtastic. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: Last night I connected with another guy that made a BBS firmware before me. We are workign together in a partnership over his amazing and powerful project, mesh forge https://meshforge.org/ npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: is it on web or mobile? everything has been working for me. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I like to consider myself an alpha man, but mostly because I have so many firmware projects and nothing in public beta. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I'll be releasing the tech demo of my #Meshtastic firmware project for the #TDeck that lets you play #Pokemon or any other GB game on the TDeck inside the meshtastic firmware. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I can copy that burning Elmo. What would the name for it be? : burning Elmo : ? npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: that’s a good one. The rear ramp is a desirable feature. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: here's the thing. There's a meshtastic network near me with hundreds of people. I can message from albany to NYC and from PA the CT. I want to be on that network. we already have several BBS on the mesh working fine. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: the idea is each #Meshtastic node is running the peer-to-peer #BBS client and every encrypted channel can become a #decentralized BBS with email, daily #wordle, rpg, #chess, SOS location services for families. It's a modern take on primitive software of the 80s that runs on a meshtastic node. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: This is really a vague idea so I'd love to hear from people who travel or go to festivals in groups with #meshtastic about the features you would want for a Peer to Peer #BBS client? npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I have a vague idea for a fork for my #TinyBSS. a firmware where eery client host a sort of BBS. it would be for families or groups of friends at festivals. I would want stuff liek persistent emergancy messages. if someone drops off the mesh or has their node off you can send a DM to them automatically once they get back online and you get an Ack from the DM. also stuff where parents can store all the GPS movements of the people in their family and store it int he external flash. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: the QSL is cool and a bit of a work in progress. My old ESP32 QSL would get the coordinates and look them up on the internet can give a location name. The off grid nRF52 code has a library of thousadns of cities and their central coordinates. when someoen QSLs we give the location of asking node. For air QSL we can share what city they are over and stuff liek speed and altitude. We can actually detect people in planes from them advertising their node just from altitude and speed. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I have a Full version where you use a #python script to send the knowledge files on the the BBS to external flash. There is a Lite version that's just flash and dash. some NRF boards have less flash and can only run the lite version. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I was running the #BBS on #ESP32 and making a companion mobile BBS #firmware that ran on NRF. I realized I could actually fit 85% of the BBS functionality on the NRF52. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I want to give an update about my project #TinyBBS, a #Meshtastic #BBS that runs on the meshtastic firmware itself. It is now NRF52 based. The NRF is a lot more lightweight and energy efficient. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: Video proof it’s running #meshtastic and a legal #Pokemon #ROM in an #emulator npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I got #pokemon running on my tdeck as part of the #meshtastic firmware. It’s not running well but I compiled a GB emulator from source running on this and it can run both Meshtastic and a game boy emulator at once. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I’m really happy with the new indie pop semi avant garde ratio format. Much much better than the all the worst songs all the time format. The only good thing they used to play was post emotion carlybra Jepsen. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: Been working on a project, a #meshtastic #BBS that runs directly on a #ESP32 node without needing a #rpi zero running the BBS. I have an alpha up and running and added a daily Wordle game. it has bulletins, Email, and a neat QSL feature for radio nerds. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: WATERSHED MOMENT ALERT: npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: On reddit someone asked the same question about a porsche sports car over the 911. It seems like if you force everyone to pick something expensive they just want a carrera GT. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I would love to see them make a modern RS3 type car with the golf R/RS3 platform and the 2.5 turbo from the 718. I would love to see a car on that platform with Porsche tuning and tactical feedback. It could be. The 911 is to the 718 as the macan is to a Porsche hit hatch. Smaller more affordable and possibly more fun. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: Porsche is apparently making a sports car to go above the 911 but below the super limited super cars (stop me if you've heard this one before) and a SUV above the cheyenne. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: https://weirdautos.files.fedi.monster/media_attachments/files/116/211/978/112/317/848/original/6104382b5998acf6.png npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: https://weirdautos.files.fedi.monster/media_attachments/files/116/180/568/797/181/454/original/16eed2d74b1f4f81.png npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I'm final round somewhere and I beleive I;'m the only person who made it final round, they took the post down and didn't repost, and they've called my references. you can't read too far into stuff but eery sign I have is good. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: Entering week 3 of "this might be the week I hear about the job", only this time there is evidence this might be the week. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: https://weirdautos.files.fedi.monster/media_attachments/files/116/105/727/544/747/950/original/85ba3a3b2a759727.png npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: At some point I will make a bigger abotu this but it's looking like I might have to sell my Fit if my unemployment runs out in two months. and the job I'm up for is in manhattan so even if I commute by car it probably won't make sense to own two manual cars. I'd like it to find a good home. It's very well set up by Tailored Chassis solutions, who really know fits. let me know if you're interested or know someone who might be. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: My wife on podcasts “no one should let boys use microphones” npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: It would be great if next year the superbowl half time show was a Gay performance art open mic. You can do anything you want so long as you take of your shirt and yell into a microphone. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I honestly think his could help people. in my early 20s I received a BS traffic ticket. I read the laws and represented myself in court. some of these laws can be confusig and having them explained to you can help a lot. LLMs are surprisingly good at law. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: Never meet your heros npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: Just want to say there’s nothing wrong with being gay but there is something wrong with thinking a lot of a car makes you seem gay. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: senate dems will force a shutdown over ICE funding. Republicans will have to sell to America that it’s worth shitting down all of the government so they can terrorize a city that doesn’t want them. I think many republicans don’t want that an all. Certainly not most independants. Bring it on! npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: fuck ICE. Now more than ever. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: Everyone wants me to moderate stuff today. Someone reported my post about keeping yourself safe while driving in America to me the admin of this group. They suggested I use a CW. Someone else reached out to me from a Jewish server asking to discipline @rootworm for calling a piece in the Jewish press a mossad psyop or something. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I'm pretty good at cars, but I once almost totaled my car installing floor mats. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: From a academic text npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: if you are willing to play everything through a computer there are DIY options. You happened to get mini DSP's worst product but what the flex products do is exclusively things mini DSP is good at and it's a much more modern product. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: One option is the mini DSP flex with digital out to a two dacs DAC, one for your speakers and one for the subwoofer. It has digital; volume control which is fine in my opinion. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I would love a used crown Sonia for what you do. Good cargo room and hybrid Avalon sensibilities. Amazing highway cruiser. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: what else do you like? npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: this car seems really nice to me. https://motorweek.org/this-just-in/2026-kia-k4-hatchback-starts-at-26085/ npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: You're both welcome. I'm proud of what we've built. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: Unfortunately I only have an ND so no pop ups. my girlies love modern safety features. But it still smiles. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: My wife hates riding in my fit. it's on coilovers but pretty soft springs for street. She loves the miata. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: yes but there’s a lot of great things about a Chevy Tahoe. They can last 500k miles no problem. That engine with the DCT from the C8 and a lighter unibody construction is a winner. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: Welcome @npub1r2r…qw3j to Weird Autos. because we're such a small community most of our new signups are spam. With my limited clues I can tell she probably belongs here. Beth, feel free to make an #Introduction. We're pretty tight knit on the server so we'd love to get to know you. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: a lot of interference comes from poor cable management. short USB cables help. having the streamer and the DAC next to each other so you can use a 1 foot cable is huge. not having power cables near that cable helps to. I route all the power cables on one side. For the most part if you have good cable management you don't need any fancy digital stuff but if you have the tech and can for free you might as well. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: The real problem is usb audio streams are designed for low latency and do not have error correcting just detection. packet is bad it's just dropped. High end brands like chord have proprietary drivers that allow for a buffer and use error correcting. It's used for most USB transfers but there is no open USB standard for it. We need the companies to make a standard and then sell us all new dacs that support it. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: if you do it again please explain how the DSP is set up connected to the two amps. are you amping the bass and treble separately or is the tube a preamp and you use the crown for more power. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: That's great. I think if you now have an audience doing audio equipment videos you might want to start titling them something more descriptive. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I'm looking forward to the next videos. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: https://www.jalopnik.com/2044448/2026-subaru-trailseeker-ev-pricing/ npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: How it’s going: npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: God bless the person who bought this spec new. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I have a car riddle. What is a car with multiple transmission gear ratios but you can't change them? npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: A big thank you to the drivers of Long Island. Usually it’s the worst place to drive on a weekend but everything lined up and I had a pleasant drive in and out. Most of my drive was in HOV with someone behind me that didn’t want to go fast. In front of me was a giant line of cars behind someone going between 55-75. Everyone was going crazy trying to get out and I was in this private luxury bubble for an hour. I was hypermiling and got 34 mpg for the trip, insane numbers for nyc area. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I'm glad that you're talking publicly about these drugs. these are going to save millions of lives. I have been struggling with my weight for the past ten years. people are ashammed to say they are getting help, but the important thing is getting healthier so the risk of diabetes, hyper tension, etc go down. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I have a buddy who bought a 1983 off craigslist for $15k npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: Dick Chenney died. It's important to remember that he helped bring in the era of trump fascism by creating a giant federal militarized force. he came out against trump but he never really took responsibility for his actions or asked for forgiveness. I don't forgive him. He was a source of evil and misery in this world, starting wars that killed hundreds of thousands, cost trillions and accomplished very little. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I want to get a sticker for my Honda for that says “if I was driving your car I would be miserable too”. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: fuck bro that's my shit. Just want a fun and kinda quick honda fit. Chevy Bolt speed is fine. I hope we see this in the US. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: sorry bro. if you haven';t had it now is a pretty good time to get it. the symptoms aren't as bad now on average.stay hydrated and be aware there is an early period where you think you are feeling better but two days later it hits you hard. So stay being hydrated, stay resting even if you have energy and feel better. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: Does anyone knwo much about the old BMW 128 coupe? It seems liek it might be a winter miata that woudl be more comfortable for Jenny. Seems nice 3250 pounds, simialr to a E46 but more modern and easy to add carplay to. 230 hp seems fine, just slightly slower than my miata is plenty fast. much lighter than the 2 series and still naturally aspirated npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I'm making a black and white american flag with a stripe for woodshop teachers. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: what's the new blue sky drama? npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: Call them first and hear what they have to say. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: inspired by a recent thread I wanted to see how fast an E30 M3 would be with the modern #BMW B48 4 cylinder. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a66050695/aston-martin-new-cyber-tire/
