My Trailblazer has that. It's an algorithm but it's pretty simple. The newer cars are more sophisticated and are supposed to be more accurate.

I figure it gets to 10,000 without asking for an oil change because the engine is seriously underworked in most of my driving.

It's just a mile counter. If you want to know, you should have your oil tested at a few stages throughout the 10k and see what it's actually doing.

In the early days it was just mileage. Newer stuff is a complex algorithm. Inputs include mileage, rpm, engine load, etc.

Decided I'm going to have the un-fun conversation with my boss. As some of you know, I'm converted from QA, and my salary never got a real boost from that. I was ok with that, but this year I've been thrust into "owning" a risky and high-priority feature after two other people left and I had been adjacent to it. My new supervisor and I are doing a vendor meeting (virtually for me) the first few days that AG is at her new job. The next day is my 1x1 with my boss, where I'll tell her that if I'm going to be given the task and responsibility, I need the title (currently an Engineer II and have to babysit an Engineer III quite often just to help her submit code) and compensation. There are various things she may say, but I have responses, and that point is the inarguable one.
I am fed up and once AG is in her new role, will have very little at stake. And immediately after that meeting is going to be maximum leverage. What's she going to do, fire me?
And AG thinks this is an excellent idea.

My son was feeling a little off, so he came home from school an hour early. He just puked all over the place, making it official - everyone under our roof is sick. Good times.

what would be some good 32 mm tires for cycle cross, and what pedals and shoes? I don’t think a new bike will happen by then, so I will just use the C2. I can put mud guards on it so I guess I need help figuring that out too.

There was a time - you know, just over six months ago - when I was looking at the Michelin Jets for all-road type tires, and they're dedicated CX so 32c.

I'm just glad they recognized the Mighty Owls as the big dog in Georgia. #1 in your hearts and on the playing field.

Porsche’s interval is 10k or 1 year, and synthetic is required. The dealer I’ve used for the last four cars told me there is no need to change more frequently unless the car is tracked.

Hmmm, wonder if it's time to buy Shimano stock. They're at their one year low, but not yet at 5 year low.
I haven't checked on average parts availability in a couple months.

They may have a reputation for durability and it may be deserved, but they are still machines which will fail when neglected. From what I hear, their reliability has suffered in the more recent models.
I actually had a Toyota. It was a bit of a P.O.S. and suffered more failures than I felt it should have. Not the worst car I've had but, meh.
My friend who runs an independent garage sends his Prius customers to a guy who does nothing but head gaskets or heads on Prius cars. He will even do it at the customer's house for extra $$.
I'll stick with GM cars, at least the ones I like. I understand them and can get help when I need it.

I have thought it would be neat to cruise around on one of those vehicles that drives on the tracks. Got any occasional jobs in Knox and neighbouring counties?
