macrocephalic commented on 24" or 27" Monitor? I Currently Have a 21.5" and Am Considering Upgrading
I don't find 24's to look all that big anymore (imagine if I'd said that 15 years ago!). I have a 32" 2k monitor at home and the resolution...

Nasty Gal as in the chick who buys things from goodwill and sells them for lots of money - and had a netflix show made about her?

FYI, baking soda, aka bicarbonate of sodium, contains a fair bit of sodium, so it will cause the same issues as excess table salt intake....

Like most emerging tech, the idea is better than the reality for quite a while.

You might be able to get them that cheap at an outlet store, but they're normally over a hundred for HPs.

True, but I see that mechanics are more likely to prey on women.

Probably would have ruined the cat as well (assuming it wasn't already - as they aren't that difficult to kill).

You *can* adjust the rear suspension preload - which will effect seat height. This will, however, effect the handling of the bike as well.

You know you can delete things - right? If you never bothered to move them out of your downloads folder, then you probably don't need them.

You could buy nearly ten xiaomi phones for that. In fact, I think the sum price of every smart phone I have ever owned is less than $1500

Make sure you actually look at the measurements. I'll bet that 'medium' in this case is an XS in normal Australian sizes.
