  1. No. None directly anyway. They're so big I indirectly own huge amounts of them just due to ETF fund distributions. So, being already overweight I definitely won't increase holdings in them by owning directly.
  2. Laetitia was "lay-titty-ah" Pigeon was "pie-gone"
  3. My mom and family friends (no pics of any of them) absolutely love river cruises and only do those now. For them, it's better then taking a normal tour because no flying or bus time (and no security or luggage bullshit with flying), and the overnight hotel time is the boat sailing between destinations, plus you keep the same room the entire trip so you don't need to pack and 'move hotels.' So, more relaxed, and better use of total time. Plus the transit times have lots of boat activities (and food), vs being stuck in a bus or plane.
  4. You mean the best part. You tell the fraud dept no you weren't at the car wash and Bam! Free wash!
  5. Brake harder, probably from higher speed. Electrics can only regen brake up to a limit, and then the mechanical brake takes the load. So if you're always braking lightly, your mechanical brakes are hardly being wiped at all. But if your inner and outer face look different, it's a caliper not compressing evenly and may be the real reason they failed you.
  6. You have dress and athletic boxers?
  7. Why is the bear hogging the chair?
  8. Good rule for anyone using any temp probe, check the accuracy in boiling water every few months.
  9. Uh, you do know which thread this is, right?
  10. Yes, the written language is a Chinese which is also split into Traditional and Simplified (where some of the most complex kanji letters are...made simpler). The spoken dialects are Mandarin, Cantonese, and literally hundreds of others.
  11. I thought the (English) books were great, and had recommended them to some friends even before it was a TV show.
  12. Great movie, marred by the sheer engineering stupidity of the stick walk robot. Talk about a crap design to take into unknown worlds.
  13. The ctrl alt delete keystroke is there to prevent someone making an app to capture your login that mimics the actual login screen. From a basically security standpoint it should not be disabled.
  14. I posted about it somewhere on here, but RJauto was who I used, and yes some rando remoted my (beater) laptop over the internet. Had to swap the steering wheel buttons in my case, which they shipped to me pretty quick from Europe, wasn't too difficult. This is on a 2021¿ GLS.
  15. I coded those onto our Mercedes. Had a very basic 6zone system on a Mazda that was fun to watch but not great. The Mercedes has 20+ zones and it's amazing. Would like to try one of the zoned laser headlights.
  16. The drivers get better as it heats up and all the goddamn snowbirds go home already!!!!!
  17. This is going to be absolutely terrible and I am going to see it.
  18. Hint: it wasn't the slippers.
  19. I've been guilty of leaving engine idling while filling up a few times but it was because my car was fucked up and wouldn't start again if I shut it off. Needed either a jump and crank a while, or to cool down to clear a vapor lock.
  20. Yes. No one brings their own slippers.
