Corruption. The common trope is that vultures feasted on the corpse of the Soviet Union.

Is there a reason for bind mounting and not just configuring the db to point at a different path?

It could be that radiation would kill anything that would otherwise decompose the meat.

If you have other Apple devices the Apple TV is the best option.

Plex makes an app for it, and infuse makes a fantastic media server client.

Also enables all kinds of useful home automation integration, and FaceTime via your television(this is a game changer).

9 was a reaction to the challenge of actually having to tell a story. The challenge was not accepted.

They would have to drive the anchors deep into the ground to have any effect. The types of anchors I’ve seen on these things are little more than tent stakes to keep it stationary.

I think these need to be strapped to concrete barrels to be safe. Or banned if there is any wind over some limit.

How does it feel to always be the smartest person in the room?

Excellent would be a stretch. They will be a variation on a Haldex system, and you’d have to look up which variation your particular model has.

I’ve yet to see a haldex type system(the type typical on FWD platforms) consistently outperform Subaru.

Nissan fans like you and I are the hardest hit by their fall.

Always buy certified used. The Subaru CPO program with gold warranty is a great deal and you can save thousands.

If you don’t buy Subaru, still buy used if the CPO warranty is good and cheap.

What is your budget?

Subaru CVTs drive like shit but not near as unreliable as Nissan units. Different manufacturers. I don’t know what chickens they sacrificed but it works.

I’m just here to chime in and tell you Nissans are trash now, and are a shadow of what they were.

Also none of their AWD systems are any good outside the GTR and their trucks. Their CVT transmissions are fragile and the computer will protect it at all costs. They’ll disengage drive wheels and pull power if any threshold is reached(temp, load, etc)

If AWD is a priority, the only logical choice is an EV. No ICE passenger vehicle AWD system can compare to having a motor per axle, or a motor per wheel. Unfortunately Nissan evs are a joke too.

My short summary is that if you’re serious about wanting awd and want an ice car, get a Subaru. If you’re serious about awd and want an rv, plenty of dual and some tri/quad motor options out there.

If you stick with fwd ice just buy anything but a Nissan or Mitsubishi.
