How does that work? And what if my relationship to my second cousin is not by blood?

This confirms yet again my decision not to trust these genetic businesses. Why anyone does I do not know. But, people sign up for Facebook which should explain almost any crazy behavior.

This is an interesting way of looking at these religions. From my limited knowledge it seems like a good high-level summary.

It could be interesting to expand this to include Buddhism (Hong Kong cinema?), Hinduism (Bollywood?), Baháʼí (?), cults, etc. Not sure if the metaphor will stretch so far...

Wow. What a dumbass that dealer rep is.

We really badly do need some effective anti-trust action in the US. I hope Louis can succeed.

Anyone have a donation link for him?

That is interesting.

It took me a while to land on the mobil 1 filters. I think I was using wix before. Glad to hear they're good.

I assume you change your oil often? I only do so every 5k with the mobil 1 oil ( extended mileage). That still makes me a bit nervous but no problems. The (haynes?) manual I use says not to go more than 5k even with synthetic.

Edit to add: Those videos where they open the oil filters are really interesting. So much marketing bullshit on the outside and very real differences on the inside.

Motor oil and oil filter. I only use mobil 1 and their extended life filter.

Edit to add: I don't know of any shop that will use that oil/filter so I do my own oil changes and even with the "expensive" oil (5 qt. jug from walmart is about $29 and free delivery) it is much cheaper to diy this than have it done.

ETA: Just looked up that price and I was off by $2 so updated it to $29.

I use a lot of cast iron which is cheap and the only chemical is...iron.

Sorry you think that.

I find it interesting and relevant. It is a good source of ideas for answering OPs question.

Or do you insist that it must only be done from memory?

So glad I got 2.5% on my 30 year fixed a couple of years ago when I refi'd.

I NEVER thought I would see a rate that low. I am still amazed at it.

There is a list on wikipedia:

I am a man who has been to therapy a few times during my life. I'll not try to sell it as a be all, end all solution but it can be helpful.

At least as helpful was a men's support group that I went to while divorcing.

I think the bottom line is that men need to connect with men and talk things out sometimes. However you do that, with friends, at a support group or with a therapist does not really matter. Male isolation is real and that is what we as a society should be very concerned about.
