on another version its inside experimental, in scrubber's version its not hard to find. Scrubber's own is even the easiest to use. Are u in the telegram photography group?

scrubber version didn't work on my phone. Error parsing package. Maybe it's meant for another Android version. I'm on miui nougat.

Not on telegram. Doing away with groups for now. Too much distractions

Mtcheew. Attention seeking third rate phone manufacturer trying to get noticed by referencing big giants aka Samsung and Apple. You think Samsung won't have done it if they wanted to years ago.

BTW, what if vivo again. Don't tell me it's a afterthought product of Volvo dabbling in phone manufacturing.

You don't really know what you're talking about.

Oppo, one plus and vivo are owned by the same company BBK
Vivo is their premium brand. Quite expensive compared to most china phones

Does anyone have LCD Screen for Redmi Note 3 Pro, 152mm for sale? Thanks.

Got a replacement from aliexpress sometime ago, it was not like the original.

Screen clarity and touch response not as good as the one that came with the phone.

Had to get the original from another site. It was expensive though But exactly what came with the phone. Don't be tempted to go for cheaper ones, you'll regret it

It's actually disassembled from a new phone and sold

I hope u know I drive manual on uber/taxify in Lagos grin...for me its fun, danfo drivers can testify to that..anytime am in traffic I shift to neutral and pull up the handbrake...PEUGEOT made me like manual transmission. I now dislike automatic cars...

We are not talking about the stand still kind of traffic that you can do the bolded and chill. grin we are talking of the constant stop and go traffic. How many times do you want to be pulling hand brake and shifting to and Fro from neutral, not to talk of depressing and releasing the clutch pedal multiple times in a minute? In such situations automatic takes the cake. No strain on your clutch leg. This one Na fact

Sometimes with uber, you can plan your movement. So there's a little bit of choice. So maybe we are not referring to the same kind of traffic. As per Danfo drivers, you could say it's fun, but most of them use a form of stimulant to be able to get through the day

Why Lion King Love Manual Transmission Lions.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oc1udroFGLs



Ikenna351, Lion King.

Manual transmission is good. Abuja and generally the northern part of Nigeria have good roads with less congestion of vehicles. So you have less traffic.

But when you need to drive in the hellishlagoas traffic daily, you will keep praising the people that invented automatic transmission. It's just more sensible in a traffic prone area

I think the best series for me this year gotta be startup. For me, everything about the show is just perfect. It's a show I can watch over and over again.

I'm sure if this was on Netflix, everyone will be talking about it.

If you've not watched startup, do yourself a favor and go watch before this year runs out. grin

Who's your favorite character? I liked dacey alot.
I don't know why but lots of people like izzy, I find her annoying.

OK so I just finished watching the season 4 of HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER. I must say that this is more than just a TV show, its incredibly great and Viola Davies, impressive and impeccable as always, undoubtedly my favorite actress on TV.  After 2 months, I really needed this show back in my life, I didn't want to wait 7 days to see each episode so I waited patiently till yesterday.. The scene with Laurel where Annalise found her passed out in her hotel elevator, in the middle of a bloody delivery was just too much for me, Imagine yourself crying 'live live' and performing CPR and panting over a plastic doll and doing it in a way that millions of people hold their breath and cry with you. Viola Davis is amazing and phenomenal and I am out of adjectives to describe her acting skills. sorry for the spoiler if u haven't seen it yet. just had to share how incredibly good this season was.. This is one of my favorite shows this year. the rest are,
BIG LITTLE LIES
THE HANDMAID'S TALE
ALIAS GRACE
VIKINGS
THE SINNER
OZARK
THE PUNISHER
THE EXORCIST
THE GOOD DOCTOR
HOUSE OF CARD'S
WESTWORLD
TABOO
POWER
YOUNG SHELDON
GAME OF THRONES 7.
STAR(yes I watch star lol...)
quite a small list lol.... can't wait for January 18th.

Seems we fancy the same kind of TV shows. I enjoyed all the series you listed. I haven't watched stars though

Very interesting series with a lot of twists and turns.

He gave absolutely nothing away. What he said is what you'll see in a trailer or synopsis and that is even seen right from episode 1

From use of a peugeot 406 D9 automatic and 406 D9 manual, I can tell you that the automatic transmission is not reliable, fuel consumption on the automatic is not as good as the manual. It is same transmission in the 407.

Upsides of the manual transmission. Up till today nov 2017 the gear box is still 15,000.

If you want to buy a peugeot 406, 607, 407, 307 with Ew10, do not buy the automatic version. Long term you will get burnt.


I think the issue of greater fuel consumption on a car with automatic gearbox compared to its manual version is general and applies to all car brands.

From all mpg values I have come across from manufacturers, their manual versions always have slightly better mpg values compared to automatic

Properties / Re: Which Of These Gasoline Generators Is Better For Domestic Purposes by bily(m): 1:04am On Nov 13, 2017
19naia:







They sell generators everywhere in USA. A lot of people use them for mobile homes, mobile construction companies that use electric power tools to do their work in locations that do not have electricity. Others carry generators to their mobile market sites for temporary power supply during street fairs or picnic in the park.

My own was from when i bought forested land and started building a house with my own two hands where there was no electricity. I got a generator and also solar panels with inverter and batteries.
I have since moved on from that and given my generators and solar power system away.
I am connected to municipal electric power grid everywhere where i go these days.

It was not an issue of USA power faults, but an issue of constructing my house on rural land before any electric line was connected.


You sound like the lack of electric power grid have you a lot of headache despite having Solar installed.

Stop what happened. Solar was not worth it?

What are you guys on about? Gunpowder is lit!

It's tense and nicely paced, soundtrack is on point, good visuals and everything. HBO has already picked it up for a second season.

It's a bit graphic though, so I don't recommend it to people with sensitive stomachs.




Gunpowder is great, but why just 3 episodes?

Just watched American vandals. Very funny series.

It's refreshing though, first time in a long time I watched an American series without LGBT stuff.

Heard they want to remake Lion King. Maybe they want to add some LGBT stuff in there cos it seems that's the gospel nowadays

I had to go through your previous post to view your experience when you were driving....

Was thinking you'll be making so much money weekly... Was shocked when all I saw was you complaining... .at a point you even stated you were going to look for another job. grin

I saw you saying difficult to make money in this business, talk more of paying partners grin

Don't know if this has been trashed before

What happens if one picks up a rider on uber/taxify and the rider slumps and dies in one's car.

Is the driver on his own, or is there any protection or cover from uber/taxify?

Knowing this our country, hope the driver won't be on a long thing with police

if not for my disclaimer, I might have set you on the right track sad

Does a disclaimer actually means one should not give out contacts or refer people?

A disclaimer just means even if I give you a contact, do your due diligence, and you're ultimately responsible for your decisions, so don't come back to me if things go sour
