    Vintage Auto Glass Question for Auto Enthusiasts

    I'm sure you can find a buyer. Check Hemmings News and look at the ads for parts. See what the market price is for a given wear condition.

    Recommend me a quality home printer.

    Mine is very similar to that one, it's the MFC-L2700DW. I just checked my page counter and it is at 85,995 pages printed. Only problem I've had is I got a replacement drum that was noisy but I tracked down the noise and lubed it so noise went away. Wow, prices on these things has shot up...

    Anybody Using an Alternative ID Email Address?

    I do this with my old AOL account. BTW, nothing says "you're a boomer" like using an AOL account. LOL!

    What new series are you watching? *No Spoilers, Please*

    His books are great, I rarely miss one. Although he seems to keep recycling the theme of someone disappearing for a decade or so and coming back, or else someone that had a sibling and didn't know it. Can you name a particular series title that you thought was especially good?

    Recommend me a quality home printer.

    I love me a good laser printer longevity story so here's mine. I am still using, and using on a daily basis, printing 40-50 sheets per day, my HP LaserJet 1200 printer which I bought back in 2002. I've replaced some rubber rollers and the pickup separation pad but otherwise it just keeps on...

    Anybody Using an Alternative ID Email Address?

    I received an offer to sign up for an alternative email address via my VPN provider, SurfShark. Alternative email addresses are "fake" email addresses that you would use to hide your real ID. So, for example, you are signing up for a website and you don't want to use your real name and email...

    Latest Inflation Numbers and Discussion

    Invented out of thin air? I'm sure most of economists at the Federal Reserve would disagree!

    Recommend me a quality home printer.

    Yep, when my laser printer starts up I get a split second little flicker from the lights in the room. Nothing has ever come of it, to either to the light bulbs, the computer, three other printers in the room, or the space heater. Now do the cost of inkjet cartridges...

    So, at a print speed of 12 pages per minute, lets say someone prints 24 pages a day. That's 2 minutes worth of print time, or 0.0333 hours. Take your worst case scenario that the laser printer uses 1,000 watts when in operation. That means it uses 1 kW for .0333 hours. A kilowatt hour cost is...

    Recommend me a quality home printer.

    If you go with option #2, you likely will not be happy with the photo printing results. If you go with option #3, I would get a B&W laser printer, not an inkjet. Buy third party laser toner cartridges to save money. I suggest this one, if you don't need a scanner...

    What new series are you watching? *No Spoilers, Please*

    We finished S1 last night. There were only 8 episodes, not 10. Nice plot twist at the end. On to S2!

    Weddings for children - how much?

    I don't have any daughters (two sons) so I don't have any experiences to add. However, I suggest you explain that you decided long ago that all three of your daughters would get the same budget and that it is fixed at $50K. (This seems generous to me, but I don't have any idea of today's...

    my toxic inheritance

    That arrangement of financing the buyback of stock is not going to look attractive to prospective buyers. Which prospective buyer would want to purchase that debt? (I realize it's all going to "come out in the wash" so to speak since buyer is purchasing the stock...) Also, buying back stock is...

    my toxic inheritance

    You each sign a non-disclosure agreement. When the prospective buyer asks to see financial statements you tell them you will provide them so long as they provide their financial statements. If they balk, you can say, "I need to know that you are serious and have the wherewithal to purchase my...
