    Nuclear preparedness

    I was going to post this under the humor topic till I checked and found out it was real and NYC had released it on July 11th. Maybe, if they had explained that they were trying to deal with the topic of a 'dirty bomb' the video might make a little more sense. Yet, the video shows destroyed...

    Digital License Plate

    Been reading articles that Michigan is the third State to allow digital plates. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a40265299/michigan-approves-digital-license-plates/ They sound interesting, but for the high cost (I think the low cost is $19 a month) and that is just the plate cost. You still...
