They probably decompose faster. Bacteria probably replicate faster with access to all the fatty tissue and warmer environment.

BMW six has won Ward's since 2019. World oder is restored.
As long as they keep making the I-6 family they will be a perennial Ward's lister. The S54 is still very close to the top of my list of production engines.

I believe they were also in the infinity QX4 older models from like 2002..
I had forgotten that, really blocked it out of my mind. I always thought that the Infiniti version of that Nissan was a visual downgrade. It did have a better interior, if was during the time Carlos Ghosn turned Nissan interiors into a plastic wasteland.

We’re calling it the “companion chair” now?
I don't know if "we" are, but I chose the word as carefully as I could to sidestep as much as possible the potential cuck chair jokes. It was like a smokescreen; people were thinking about the odd choice of wording vs trying to make a joke. Although I do see a poster's reply after yours suggests he might have seen through it.
That does beg the question. I wonder what people in retail clothing sales call those chairs.

I ruin your fun. The car hit the pole that is resting near, and the wires pulled the other pole and caused it to snap up where it did.
I had the initial impression as you did.
The answer in to the question in your subject line is simple: VQ35DE, and it isn't close.
The only SUV or truck they came in was older Pathfinders.

Where's it streaming? I want to see it
I don't think it has been mentioned (this is an old thread) but it is streaming on Netflix.
We like hanging out together. I shop with her, whether it is clothes or anything else. She hangs out with me at Home Depot/Lowe's, woodworking stores, etc. Plus, when she is trying on clothes, and I am sitting in the companion chair, I have my phone. We usually both shop for things and get food during/after. We don't do it as often in the internet age, and I must admit I do miss it a little.

re: Sound bars

You obviously have only purchases a <$100 soundbar then
Let's be honest, soundbars are inherently flawed by design. Whether a result of space, budget, SAF, or ease of connection, many people choose them. Physics is on a multi-billion-year run of being undefeated, and it isn't starting just because someone wants an excellent soundbar. It is like the tiny to small subwoofers they often come with, which are really MBM (mid-bass modules), try as they might, they can't defy Hofmann's Iron Law.

This is a thing?
Absolutely. Just like people have gun rooms or other hobby/craft rooms, people have HT and listening rooms. The room itself is one of the most important "components" in a sound system. The proportions of the room are critical. You want to avoid a cube room, a 12'x12'x12' is horrible for example. You want to be as close to .61 x 1 x 1.62 as possible... the golden ratio. You want this to spread the room modes out. The construction of the walls, ceiling and floor will also have an impact on sound.

I haven't watched yet, but this just dropped. I figured there would be lots of interest in it here and probably more on MSB than MTV.

Needs a nose mounted 20mm gatlin gun like the warthog has
Sounds good, doesn't work.
A 30mm M230 sure but a 30mm GAU-8 would rip itself out of an airframe built like any typical rotor wing or tilt rotor. That's even if you could stuff it in one or meet its power requirements. Plus, rotor wings have plenty of other tank-killing options.
While you could built a rotor wing airframe to accommodate the GAU-8, it would lose a lot of the positive characteristics of a helicopter and be near a purpose built gun platform and the A-10 was just better at that.
Everyone loves the Hog, but I always preferred having rotorheads on station when the shite hit the fan for various reasons, primarily the helos could loiter longer and I didn't hear the crackle of "Winchester" over the radio near as often and watch Hogs blasting off into the distance.

No. You think they do. Like another poster said, they killed a lot of female babies. They've had to reverse that policy, bit too late. Idk about you, but men can't populate the planet on their own.
I randomly started thinking about how "we" have been discussing the coming demographic collapse of many countries (Western countries, Russia, China, et al) but at the same time "we" are showing grave concern about what to do when AI and AI-controlled robotics take over huge swaths of jobs. A tiny pixel sized led deep in the cavernous expanse of my otherwise empty brain bucket flickered on. It would seem that if the timing lines up, significantly lower populations could dovetail perfectly with a large job takeover by AI/robotics. I am not saying it will happen, but it struck me as possible and, at the very least, will have some mitigating impact.
I should point out I am agnostic about the demographic collapse theories in part because I am of enough to remember the population bomb theories of the early 70s. Paul Erlich, the MIT study, and the Nixon administration's study that advocated on leveling out population growth. In those ~55 years the world population has more than doubled while hunger seems to have dropped off worldwide significantly by percentage of population. It just seems that despite the dire predictions a half century later we don't seem to be in a population crisis of too many as now we are talking about a population crisis of too few.
* obviously there is a discussion on the impact of who is and who isn't have children but in my mind it is a different discussion built on different pillars
