Yeah I'm seeing that now, should I spend extra money on a better router? My use for this will be pretty rare, I figure I could steal my dad's if I need something better for a project.
Yes, I have a family of routers and still plan on buying more. My Bosch 1617EVS is my most used "big" router, can take 1/2" and 1/4" shank bits. The 1617 has a lot of available accessories, optional fixed and plunge bases, router table bases, and many companies make custom base plates and jigs for it. It's a great do-all router and something you can grow with in woodworking.

Fiancee's truck has every original button and the dash is pristine. Once again, maintenance is everything. My coworker has a first gen Tundra and the interior is rough and it leaks oil from several spots. He bought it from a family member that was the original owner and he wants to fix it up and keep it going so kudos to him but he's going to be putting in some serious work and cash into it.

Overall the Tundras were probably the longest lasting although the GM 5.3 was just as good. It’s just the rest of the vehicle would not last as long.
My fiancee's daily driver is her 2004 5.3L 2WD regular cab Silverado. Has about 220k well maintained miles on it. I've replaced the water pump, alternator, knock sensors, intake gaskets, belts, did a full frontend rebuild on it and replaced the shocks and axle snubs few months back, have done all the fluids several times, did the oil pan gasket, rear main seal, transmission input shaft seal, and rear end pinion bearing and seal this year too. All of those things any 20 year old truck needs including a Tundra. I can buy all OEM parts for that Silverado almost anywhere, which is all I ever use on my vehicles.
Her mother has a 2003 4.8L Sierra, barely over 100k miles.

My electricity, water, sewer, and trash pickup is all in one utility bill and last month it was $190 for a 2500 sq-ft two-story. Two 3-ton AC units, my house is not terribly well insulated either. My AC units are running a lot but they are blasting cold air. Keep the systems clean and well serviced, so many people have filthy condensers and evap coils and have no idea how much harder that makes their systems work.

Make it legal but you can only use it within the confines of your house. Unlike alcohol, weed stinks from blocks away, and I don't want to smell it. You can stink up the inside of your own house, step outside with a lit joint and it should be legal to hurl bricks at you until scurry back inside or lose consciousness.
re: Lone holdout juror in Clancy case had a restraining order against him for DV

Though my gut tells me the media is playing fast and loose with their definition of DV here
They are but pathetic shills like the OP still carry their water. Getting a DV restraining order is almost meaningless, doesn't matter if the claims made in getting an RO are true or not, all it takes is an affidavit from one party asserting they feel they are in danger.

That sounds like a dead short, something has continuity where it shouldn't. Not hard to diagnose with a multimeter with a continuity function.

Probably not. We have "the most educated" retards in history and every successive generation is getting worse.

Why on earth are Phillips head fastners still around?
They work well within their intended envelope. Once you find the right driver, know not to mix it up with JIS fasteners, and don't keep fighting worn out driver bits, it's no more fickle than Torx or Robertson.
re: Anyone here using Valvoline Restore and Protect in their vehicles?

I used it in my old daily driver for several oil changes, probably didn't clean much as I had always used synthetic oil on 5k OCI's. Have Mobil 1 Advanced Clean stocked up for my fiancee's 2004 5.3L Silverado, though it too has pretty much only had Mobil 1 5W-30 run in it for at least the last 15 years.

Don't think they had anywhere near the problems as the 5.4 2 valve that were used in the trucks and SUV's though
Was never a problem if things were torqued properly, I have a 2000 5.4L 2V with the non-revised heads. Friend had a 1999 Lightning and it spit several over torqued plugs, we TimeCerted both heads after the 3rd plug left the chat. I have the tool kit and a couple of inserts in the glove box of my truck but in 20 years they've never needed to be used.
TTC is almost always a good watch. This particular topic is an easy rabit hole to go down too, lots of variables besides drive design to get into. I've found that driver bit material, hardness, and coatings make a lot of difference as do coatings and hardness of the screws themselves. I keep a small case of nothing put drivers loaded with various 1" bits, use mostly Makita, DeWalt and Bosch but just got a pack of some interesting Milwaukee bits to try. Have a pack of the Bosch combo PH2SQ2 bits which I keep in my electrical tool kit now as well as some of the Milwaukee 2" ECX bits.
