Wheel locks are very cheap. $20 will get you a nice set of 4. The trick is, when you install them, DON'T remove the original wheel locks. Most Honda wheels have 1 "locked" nut and 4 "unlocked" nuts (so 4 locked and 16 unlocked per car). If you replace the factory locked nut with a different locked nut, you've made things only a tiny bit harder for the thief -- they still need to remove 4 locked nuts and 16 unlocked nuts. If you replace one of the unlocked nuts with a different locked nut, now the thief needs to remove 8 locked nuts and 12 unlocked nuts. Now stealing your wheels will take twice as long -- so the thief moves on to an easier target.

Stay away from San Francisco, there's a thousand year old Chinese dog that wants to marry Bella and then sacrifice her to break the curse the Emperor put on him.

Possibly; some towns allow those sorts of cross-subsidies and some towns ban it. But two things are even more likely: (1) they are getting a higher profit on the gas units right now; (2) the guys you've been talking to are really good at installing gas furnaces, and are more confident that they can install the gas furnace correctly the first time. The biggest financial risk for most HVAC guys is breaking something when they install it -- now they need to pay out of their own pocket to fix it -- so they tend to recommend things that they know they can do, instead of branching out.

I work in the gas industry. Whenever you switch, don't switch from oil to gas; switch from oil to electric. The electric models are superior now -- more powerful, easier to maintain, and of course WAY less indoor air pollution.

Since it is directly relevant -- she is a beauty contestant after all -- here's a different news article that includes photos of her. https://www.marca.com/en/lifestyle/world-news/2023/02/24/63f8b8c4268e3e982a8b45e4.html

She looks like she's gonna spend half an hour telling me which Ultimate league I should join.

I can only assume that 906,444,360 different people listened to "abcdefu" exactly once. That is the worst song to crack the top 40 in years.

It doesn't come up in the news often, but Israel & Jordan are best buddies.

I cannot encourage you to take advantage of this fun fact, but here is a fun fact for you: DC, MD, and VA are currently in a standoff where they cannot require non-residents to pay for automated tolls and fines.

And now, time to get thirsty for a painting...

The age axis is a mess. If you can't find data for every year, then you should space out the X axis so that there's a constant amount of progression from year to year.

Wow, Avatar 2 looks better than I thought it would

There's probably an innocent explanation, but there is a chance that store is involved in illegal importation

I always recommend the Charles Stross essay, "The High Frontier, Redux." It does an excellent job of explaining why space travel is an order of magnitude more difficult than preserving civilization on Earth.

If you keep researching, you'll find this was far from the only such device. There was a bit of a boom market in the 1700s/1800s based around the idea of replacing self-control with little torture devices.

Sorry, I was trying to make a joke about how we've been waiting a decade for the full Silver line to have any service at all. Apparently I didn't word it well.

The "MOST POPULAR" in the title text is inaccurate. This is just a selection of major countries. I'm quite confident that there are numerous other world leaders who are more popular than, say, Liz Truss.
