There are things I'm learning I don't love about its behavior (mainly it seems to love switching on and off several times during a heating call - I'm guessing there's some leakage in the ducting inside that closet) but it's doing the thing it's supposed to be doing and can't really ask for more.

Here's what the bottom of my machine looks like. If anything is small enough to get through the holes in that guard, then the pump is just going to chew it up. It turns everything into a pulp and then there's nothing to clean.

Runza, for the uninitiated, is some sort of burrito? But like, it kind of tastes like White Castle?
Pretty good, really. But I got to say, this logo does not parse to me as a restaurant. I thought I was getting gas here.

I have now had Runza at the insistence of @agingwheels.bsky.social.
I believe I now have a much richer understanding of the spirit of Nebraska.

But overall, while they're quite pricey and don't have the best tread life, the fact that these are a "normal" all-season tire which can be left on all year but just so happen to be winter rated makes them an excellent choice and I am quite pleased
The car got out of this like it wasn't even there!

This could be down to Hyundai's ABS implementation, but it seemed like the car had much better grip when accelerating than it did slowing down. I think that might be due to the directionality of the tire's tread pattern.
Getting going, though - that was a piece of cake!

I have now had a chance to test out the Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires in some heavy snow.
Here's a short thread on my thoughts. Overall extremely pleased with a few minor surprises.

You're probably sick of hearing about dishwasher powder...
so let's talk about laundry detergent. I'm a lazy ass who can't be bothered to throw away old boxes sometimes but look what that laziness hath wrought.
just why exactly is one box good for 80 loads but the other does 89, hmm?

Here's a video of the Tetris watch face I first showed you. When the time updates the digit(s) getting replaced blinks out and then is rebuilt.
I am so pleased to be wearing one of these once more!

Not if you have wheels. Here's a five-year-old pic of the Bolt with its winter wheels on.
It was cheaper to go with 16" wheels and tires for the winters. Honestly I'm shocked how good those cheap Vision wheels look on the car.

I'm actually quite impressed it took nearly 4 years for this to happen, especially since the second key almost never gets used

That depends on what you mean by dedicated!
My home is modern enough that it was built with a dishwasher. And the only difference is that there are two taps from the hot water line rather than one.
Lots of older installations would simply install a T on a single valve.

This is the jackpot music which also plays at the end if you get a high score with a great in-time light show, to boot
(and yes I'm editing these so they loop correctly)

The test menu is cool because it lets you hear the music in this game by itself, and this game's got some jams
