    Favorite IMPORTED German Lager

    Find a local brewery that does one. It will be fresh instead of 3+ months old. When my German colleagues came over here to visit, they were amazed at how good our local beers are.

    One of my colleagues has a son who manages a restaurant in Asheville, won't be able to open for at least a month but still has power. He's cooking all the stored food and feeding first responders and workers there, he got an immediate greenlight to proceed from the restaurant owners.

    Let's talk plastics

    Yes, nylon 6 is compatible with 6/6. There are many alloys of these materials commercial sold. You are correct that most cable ties are made from nylon, both types. Nylon welds very well, our cars and chainsaws depend on it.
