The chips don't do shit. Both personal and work-issued cards have been compromised the past couple years. As JSDirt already said, it just makes stuff take longer. I don't know that its any more secure but I've also used the ApplePay at places that take it. Seems handy.

I've been wanting to get into using the Android Pay, but my card isn't supported in it yet for some reason. My phone is too old to be able to take part in Samsung Pay. Maybe someday once I get a new phone.

Most of my cards are supported in Apple Pay. USAA debit, USAA credit, capital one credit, and GM buy power

I've had few problems with my chase card. When I did need new cards I had them 3 days or less. The only feature I wish my card had was the ability to have unique card #s for online transactions. Other than that almost everything I buy/pay is done with my credit card. Don't even know where my debit card is, haven't activated the last one or two they've sent me anyway.

Mobile pay is pretty cool because it does have the one time transaction number that it uses, a lot more secure. I think samsung and Android pay only support certain banks right now, not sure about Apple pay

Been looking at one in .308. I didn't like the 24" barrel of the 6.5

The 6.5 is ballistically more stable out past 1000 yards. I'm looking to eventually start making mile long shots when I can find the land to do so

I just can't justify $1300 on a new gun right now. I will probably still get the .308 for the ammo abundance. You can get it everywhere.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB - 20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
