I’d be confident in the traditional 3 most common, fruit punch red, lemon-lime yellow, and orange.

"Who buys our st? I don’t buy Campbell’s products barely anymore. It’s not healthy now that I know what the f‘s in it."

Maybe, I dunno, make it more healthful?

(English pedant peeve: food is not “healthy” or unhealthy; it’s healthful or unhealthful. Living things are healthy, nutrients are healthful. A state of health versus a beneficial quality.)

It’s like cable TV all over again

I feel like the obvious consumer lawsuits that were coming had an impact there, though

Oh I remember 17776! I don’t think I knew they did a sequel

Is that this animal’s name in some languages? Or is that just how you helped yourself draw them? Or is it just a joke?

So the sambuca replaces the triple sec?

It might be possible to upgrade the system but you’ll probably need to find someone who knows these systems better. There used to be a cover on this panel where the buttons and speaker are; that might’ve given a make or model number, or maybe even had a sticker for the company that installed or monitored the system. This is the control panel but there might be a hub/brain somewhere else where all the wires lead, perhaps in a closet or utility room. You might find more information there.

The system sounds like it’s functional; in most jurisdictions the sellers should have provided you with the information necessary to use the system, like alarm codes and contacts for a monitoring service (if any). If you get a code that might be all you need to use the system (you should change the previous owner’s code).

It’s possible to use the alarm without a monitoring service, but I feel like they’re more useful with a service. If there is a monitoring service they would be able to have someone come check out the system and reset the codes for you, show you how to use the system. Is there a sign in front of your house with the name of an alarm company?

This looks like a system old enough that it would probably need an actual telephone line for monitoring and uses wired sensors. Wired sensors are probably a good thing. The sensors don’t need batteries and aren’t vulnerable to jamming like wireless sensors. They’re more expensive to install, though, especially in a finished home. Since yours is already installed, that’s a boon. Most current systems are probably designed for wireless but I’m sure there there are ways to use the hardwired system with more modern systems and get features like remote access.

I got to visit the last time I went to see my dad’s side of the family in Oregon and I realized that the Pacific Northwest probably gives a pretty similar climate to much of Japan. I’ve never been to Japan but had moments where I felt like I was actually there.

May I suggest using The Infosphere instead of the Fandom wiki? It’s not as mobile-friendly but also isn’t riddled with ads

They made a Jungle Cruise movie?

Why did it have to be the color of the Jeep I had?

When I moved away after high school my parents sold the old Volvo station wagon I was driving, decided the newer Volvo wagon my mom had been driving would be what my younger siblings would drive, and with strong encouragement from my younger brother, my mom picked up a used Boxster thinking that she’d never have to do the carpool line again. This was after the dot-com bubble burst and there was a surplus of used Porsches for relatively cheap. Somehow they found one as an automatic transmission back then, but it was still the best car I’ve ever driven as far as the handling goes. I loved the GTI I bought later, but that Boxster was a different level. At the speed limit it was almost like the car was steering itself because it was so effortless, and it was easy to go double the posted speed limit without realizing it if there weren’t other cars around.

I feel confident that plenty of Ferraris have caused their owners a great deal of sadness, along with joy

Hope you ride the storm out safe and with no damage!
