Mini disc is what i always heard. Nobody knows what the hell they are anyway

I think I'm going with the ridiculous ebay "jdm" universal fender flares. Saw a youtube video of a nice mk4 jetta lifted they seem to work well with a lifted mk4 and look good for the price. All our local yards got baught out by a large chain and the prices are unreal , it has to be something special for me to even go anymore ☹️

Clean build 👆

Interesting about the rack connection points. I figured they were modular but I haven't dug into them other than removing the cover. They are hard to come across in scrapyards in my area. There are some reseller hawks that hit the yards hard for VW/ Audi parts. I wish I knew how much they were going for when I would see them often ~10 years ago, they are such a well made piece, I would like a second set but not for $300 on ebay.

I get plywood with my harbor freight basket and some ratchet straps. I don't like cranking down on the oem crossbars too much but the basket eats the stress. Only put it on when I'm using it because I wind up getting about 40MPT better mileage with out it.

Worked commercial construction for 25 years , high-rise buildings were always fun jobs ! We could never use any of the "unused" parking garages, always had to park offsight and walk 5 blocks ...I guess we would have ruined them if we parked there 🙃

I found a VHS player at a second hand shop and got into buying and watching VHS before the pandemic and it was actually relaxing. Even with DVD/Blu ray I can't get as immersed as I was with watching VHS. I would know that at night I was going to watch D.A.R.Y.L and just kick back and not get off the couch. It was a whole thing...power surge fried my player and haven't found another one yet

Physical media is the way

Sounds good 👍

I will keep you posted !

😭 not again

True story!

I do home improvement and I've traded a lot of plants over the years with customers. It's fun

I don't live in Canada, here from " random community ".

Fuck road salt! They know when they need to use it but spray that stuff all over the roads in my state at a hint of snow. Piles of it sitting next to a stream and then we don't even get snow, just rain, it's insane. They used to use a mix that was far more sand than salt in it until the late 90's (maybe even early 2k) and it worked just fine people got where they needed to go. Now with more cars having AWD they should need it less but now it is just straight up 100% salt crystal. It rots out cars and destroys the environment.

I stopped and talked to a worker for USGS (United Stated Geological Survey) and asked them what they monitor at a station down the street from my house at a small stream , i figured it was fertilizers or petroleum/ chems from surrounding suburban sprawl or a major 4 lane road that crosses a few miles upstream. They told me "salinity". It's from the road salt and they monitor it so they know how bad it is, nothing else.

The stream is a feeder creek to a secondary larger stream that feeds a river than a bay. I used to fish the secondary and walk my dog along it a few times a week and it got way worse over the course of 20 years that I was actively fishing.

They really need to be more judicious with the amount of that junk they put down as most of it is wasted and seems to do more harm than good.

There are rural areas near me that have stations for distribution of the salt and people I know who live there have poisoned wells and received a one time offer of $25k to replace damaged plumbing. The problem is even if they install a reverse osmosis system over the long term they still lose money.

Hell yes ! Plants kick ass !

Big pothos fan myself. Have a nice Brazil , a few silver ( fuzzy leaves) and the regular (wish I knew the name but the common version) pothos growing wild in my place. Some of the runners are 30' long and go around corners into the next room 😁.

They seem to do well in every location , I just adjust the water for the degrees of lighting.

I'm about to chop up a pilea that has gotten out of hand. It was a stunning specimine , very full with about 20 pups then it started getting leggy and dropping leaves. It is in a huge pot but got rootbound. So all my friends are about to get plants to take home 🤙

Zen mind, Beginners mind

Do you have 🗿 here?

I'm a little older and while all my buddies were on the internet in the early days it didn't interest me but I was well aware of how it functioned.

I was a reddit lurker back when it was cool and a place to gain knowledge (depending on the sub) then a few years back finally becoming a user until the last couple years seeing it really go down hill fast turning into a typical " social media platform"

Leemy gives me a sense of nostalgia for something I missed out on in the past. ...And I don't feel like an asshole scrolling in my spare time
