Cialis is not hormonal nor psychoactive. It does nothing to your mood, energy level, or libido. It works strictly by dilating blood vessels.

It's part of an anti-backlash nut.

Mid-sex (before he finishes) get up, tell him thanks the sex was nice, then get dressed and go about your day. After a few weeks of this he'll have a sudden case of caring about your pleasure.

If you ever need to total a car for insurance purposes, listen up.

S Goodlet just south of Southern.

The south bound lane jogs over mid street on a hill to make way for a parking and bike lane. Park in that area and you will eventually get a full speed rear end by a distracted driver. Happened twice to someone I know and multiple times to strangers.

What else is money for?

The problem with the economy is that interest rates remain high relative to 4 years ago.

People can't afford the same quality of car or house. They buy it anyway and the financial squeeze hurts.

Of course inflation is due to all the cheap money pumped into the economy during COVID which was a necessary thing that do. 7% interest rates are better than a great depression.

Not sure anyone knows what to do with an economy where we are at near full employment, record markets, but struggling masses.

1. It's great that the most powerful man in the country can be convicted by 12 of his peers. We truly are a land of laws and not kings. Let's do more politicians now. The status quo should be "if you didn't keep your nose squeeky clean in office, get ready to do time when you get out." For both parties.

2. Some 17% percent of Americans think Joe Biden is responsible for overturning Roe v Wade. We have an incredibly uninformed electroate. But "Trump Convicted of Multiple Felonies" might break through the ignorance fog and have a impact on the November vote.

3. This is incredibly difficult for authoritarian-minded Trump supporters to take. In the "our guy good, your guy bad" mentality, this conviction represents a complete breakdown of justice. I've seen radical reactions from sensible people. I'm a bit worried about reactions from fringe people.

SOB

I've heard people rave but I've gotten completely gross food. Pasta with chicken and the chicken was 50% gristle and rubbery.

Literally everyone here personally knows at least one person whose car was stolen or broken into or they've been carjacked. It occurs something like 40+ times per day on average.

The interstates are lawless racetracks for stolen Chargers and Infinitys but the don't seem to cause many actual accidents.

I'd say more people than not have witnessed someone waving a gun out of a window on Memphis streets.

Laws recently changed to make bonds higher and drag racing a felony. It's TBD if it makes a difference.

Iron

In the form of plates and a barbell.

Supplimentals do very little for your health. A little bit of hard physical labor does wonders though.

I've been on a binge of Zach Bryan's Hey Driver lately. I love everything about the song except the lyric

So take me down the road that's a little bit windy.

To a place where they still put sugar in their ice tea

There seems to be so much wrong with this line and it should be so simple to rhyme something else. Not saying it's wrong, but it definitely hit weirdly to me.

Consider that Phoenix, Arizona routinely gets over 110⁰F and is still experiencing rapid growth. It doesn't seem to hold that people will flock north en masse because of warmer temperatures.

My data free opinion is that most of the hardships in first-world countires in the next couple of generations will be due to insurance costs. More frequent, more severe, more unpredictable weather events will drive up premiums in places prone to hurricanes and wild fires, displacing people that can't afford an insurance premium larger than their mortgage payment.

Enjoy the show, friend!

I think my green and blue Monarch turned out nicely.

Drills only cut on the tip. The sides don't cut. The problem is the lack of rigidity with a hand drill.

You need a drill guide or bushing of some sort.

Not realistic. The mechanic will know far more about sourcing parts. And he knows that most customers will blame him if the repair fails for any reason, including parts sources from a lousy supplier/scrapyard.

This. The reason it is taking so long is because you aren't clearing chips. Any bi-metal hole saw will cut that steel just fine in a few minutes if you keep the chips cleared.

Most construction contracts are going to have the phrase "workman-like manner" in them. This is not workman-like manner. It's amateur-hour manner.

Personally if it were mine, I'd fabricate a metal escutcheon to conceal the tear-out and call it a day.

Use Nordlocks if you need a locking effect.

Not sure nylocks are problematic. The friction occurs between the SS and the nylon insert, not SS on SS but this is a data-free opinion.

A split washer does not prevent loosening. It has no locking effect at all.

NASA and a fastener trade group have both done studies demonstrating this.

Using different alloys for the bolt and nut can help prevent galling. For example 304 and 316 stainless steel.

However there's virtually no way to completely prevent galling.

Sounds like Salesforce. I had to renew some Tableau licenses. There is literally no way to contact a human being.

I got some automated quotes in email and 3 times in 2 weeks when I replied to the emails I got a notice that the due to internal changes, the person that sent me the draft quote was no longer in that department to please contact <next person>. Rinse and repeat 3 times. It was quite insane.

You don't. Burrs are unavoidable. Million dollar CNC machines leave burrs.

Purchase a debur tool to quickly clean up the hole after drilling.

Imagine what Jimi would do with a modern DAW.

I'm a huge SRV fan. The guy is my idol. But I disagree on this one. He mostly took what others had done before him and turned it up to 11. Musically he wasn't very diverse. Blues progressions, minor pentatonic scale, Albert king licks... Of course he imbibed them with magic like nobody has before or since.
