Was searching for an oil filter for my motorcycle and checking the fitment list, it also fits the BMW i3. Both of these share parts.

I must be in the minority, but Taco Bell never had this effect on me. I can just eat it.

https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/consumer-health/expert-answers/colon-cleansing/faq-20058435 I had to look this up.  Got it.  What you do before medical procedures.  Not recommended at other times. Otherwise, lots of water and good fruits and vegetables (berries, citrus, different beans, cabbage, spinach, etc.) - - - - - Someone likes their Taco Bell at $1.99 instead of $4.99! https://www.tmz.com/watch/0-c6cbtqbv/ If I didn't know otherwise and saw her, I'd think she'd be the classic Orange County (CA) "Karen:"  "I need to speak to the manager!"

Yes.  My company is about 50% remote in the US and 50% in Plano.  They just acquired a small company in NYC.  They are building a GCC in Mumbai, so it will be interesting how much future work goes offshore.
