How are you storing your cars for the winter?

About to pull the trigger on an MGA. I get full on winters (Canada, 5 months) and am curious what you're all doing while storing your cars for the winter months.
My garage isn't insulated, but I'm looking to get a heater.

Aside from filling the tank, doing an oil change before storing it, pulling the battery, and some moth balls/drier sheets in cans in and around the car, anything else I need to know for storage?

If Sony wants to ruin gaming for gamers, we’ll ruin their bottom line for execs.

If they go through with this as planned, that’s one thing. If they pull this shit AND stay profitable, that’s the bigger shame that we can’t let happen. Fuck. Sony.

What Are The Best Cheese / Prosciutto / Wine Tours In Parma?

Going to Parma for 2 days in October (as well as Florence, Modena, and Rome - if you have suggestions for those cities). What are the best cheese tours to do there? I may extend my stay in Parma if there's a few great things to do and see.

Thanks

My Itinerary for an October Italy Trip -- Might Skip Modena, any suggestions to replace it?

My fourth time going to Italy. Two years ago I hit all the places I wanted to see and got all the touristy stuff out of the way (Rome, Pisa, Cinque Terre, Bologna, and Firenze, loved them all).

This year, after a Greece and Paris trip, I'm ending my Euro trip in Italy.

Oct 13-16 Florence. This is my favorite city of all time. It has such a pull on me as a writer/filmmaker. I felt right at home. I may add another days stay here.

Oct 16-18 - Modena. Was thinking of going to the F1 factory, but I'm on the fence and may just extend Florence or Rome, or maybe Parma.

Oct 18-21 - Parma. I need to go on a cheese tour, maybe 2.

Oct 21 - 24 - Rome. Staying in Monti. Last time I was in Trastevere but kept coming to this side of the river.

Anything you'd suggest instead of Modena. Or if this is too much?

Thanks

Going back to Firenze in October -- any tips for movie lovers to check out?

Two years ago was my first time in Florence (I'm Canadian, my parents are from Molise and never really got to check out Italy until recently). But Florence had a crazy pull on me from the second I got into the city. I love it more than Rome, Cinque Terre, and Bologna. I did all the touristy stuff, so I got that out of my system. Now I'm looking to check out some gems and quitter areas.

But I'm looking for some interesting and cool places for writers / filmmakers to check out.
Giunti Odeon I'll for sure be checking out, but any others that aren't obvious? Poster or DVD/Blu ray stores, etc.

Also trying to map out gluten free places. The restaurants for dinner are easy to find, curious about bakeries worth checking out.

While I'm there I'd like to venture out. What other small towns should I consider? I think I need to do a parmesan cheese tour. Maybe check out Lucca, Siena, or Modena. I've been to Bologna, loved it, but would love to check out some other areas now.

Grazie!

I'm looking at a 1957 MGA -- What to look for?

Local private seller has a '57 MGA for sale. 47,000 miles. Front disc breaks, shocks, callipers, reconditioned gas tank and radiator, new tires.
Paint needs.... well paint. Some patina. So looking at a new paint job. No roof but has tonneau. $14,000 Canadian ($10K USD). Will pull the trigger for 10-12K CAD if nothing huge is wrong with it.

Just not sure what to look for. Leaks, door panels lining up, bigger things like that I've read about. Let me know what else I should keep an eye out for. I'll probably do a pre purchase inspection. It's satisfied already

Thanks

Screenwriter here -- I'm working on a story that will dabble in a scientific finding that disproves all religion

Thought this was the perfect place to ask for help and do some research -- I'm working on a screenplay about a priest who's also a physicist and he's on the brink of a discovery that would disprove god(s)/religion. Something along the lines of proof there's was no start to the universe.

Now, I know this is a bit of a fool's errand, things that don't exist leave no evidence of them not existing ( and like someone else here said, it's like proving Santa Claus doesn't exist), BUT if a scientific finding were to happen that could disprove any kind of god or religion, what sort of thing might that be?
Short from literal time travel so you could see events from the past with your own eyes, I'm trying to think of any other findings that would support this.

Does a Matte Mousse exist?

Looking for something light to put into loose curl hair. Don't want to clay or wax. Curious if there's a mousse that leaves a matte look.

Easy Anti Cheat Won't Close and Fortnite Keeps Running

This is such a headache. On PC, after playing, it keeps running in the background with Easy Anti Cheat and I can't open any other Epic game. I've tried to force shut down the apps (Epic, EAC, the games themselves) but nothing works.
Anyone else running into this issue? Do you have a fix?
