This but do spend a little more to one with a high enough VA to run doorbell cameras or modern electronic doorbell chimes if you have them.
Women are process thinkers, men are solution/goal-oriented thinkers. Things make a lot of sense when you understand and view interactions this way. Most women can't do gap analysis to arrive at a solution to a given problem, they want a process and the process itself becomes more important than solving the original issue.

You mean you approve of an email you got from your boss allowing you to close up your kiosk early for Christmas. Guess they figure there will be virtually no sales of cellphone covers until after the 25th.

HF has a new AC/DC multi-proccess welder coming out. I have a Titanium Unlimited 200, really looking hard at this new 210 AC/DC version.

Not anything decent will plug into a 12V lighter port, decent ones require clamping directly to the battery. I have a Milwaukee M12 inflator I keep in my daily driver, has worked great for several years and I run it on a XC5.0 or 6.0 M12 battery, enough to top off truck tires multiple times without issue. The M12 inflator is $99 tool only, batteries aren't cheap but you can get a two pack of XC3.0's right now for $80 at Home Depot. So $140 per car for a solid tire inflator setup, throw the battery on the charger every few months or so just to keep it happy.

Should have gotten a GSR, 16" or 18" Ruger M77 platform that can take AICS mags.

You are also painfully ignorant of what it takes to gather evidence and build a case to even attempt bringing people to trial. This stuff could take years to develop yet some of you think this stuff should be prosecuted blindly.

There's going to be a bunch of digruntled dentists graduating with hundreds of thousands of dollars of student debt and finding out they'll have to slave themselves to corporate practices or setup their own little shop and do nothing but drill, fill, bill for 10 years to get out of all the accrued debt, interest, and trying to live their lives with the luxuries they imagined they would have. My fiancée teaches at the local dental school, $400k+ of debt with still more years to go is not uncommon amongst the current D2's and D3's.

Yeah no. Vast majority were built on monies collected from the people intending to live in these apartments, the developers abandoned the projects after the tofu dreg construction practices rendered the buildings uninhabitable. Families wiped out of their savings, suicide rates among young adults and the elderly have skyrocketed too. No coincidence.

I use Pink Stuff to clean and then seal with Granite Gold sealer, got both at Home Depot. Not a super glossy finish but definitely more shine than the bare surface and easier to keep clean now with just a damp kitchen rag.
Unlike shitty Europe, our doctors are talented and many can work out of more than one location to see patients.
