Thanks, Owen. I'm very familiar with the Ogden temple, as I live close by. But I have never seen it from that particular view, so I wasn't quite sure, but I should have been able to tell by the mountains. There are a few of the temples, of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, with...

Where?

Yes, that is the way I interpreted your post. I also have made the personal observation that all to much of what is posted these days as news, is nothing more than, as you say, "one off" experiences that are being blown out of proportion by making it national news. I guess my point is that, it...

I understand what you are saying. However, all too often, the only way to get justice with large corporate businesses, is to public shame them. And frankly, Hertz has had an overwhelming share of public shaming for the way they have treated some of their customers. So it isn't like this is...

Absolutely gorgeous! Not in my price range, but if I had copious amounts of disposable income, I would love to own a Taycan. Everything I have read and heard suggests that they are an awesome car to drive. I would definitely be willing to overlook the EV shortcomings to be able to drive one...

Any good cleaner is not going to leave a glossy finish on a surface, unless the surface has a glossy finish. If after cleaning your interior, the vinyl surfaces are more matte or flat in appearance, that is because this is what it looks like when clean from anything on it's surface. If you...

I'll believe it when I see it. If you follow technology news much at all, you know that over the years there have been researchers that have reported being on the brink of releasing revolutionary battery technology, that will have significant improvements in capacity, be able to charge in only...

When it comes to button batteries, you definitely get what you pay for. Don't cheap out. Duracell or Energizer.

I would use them. If you have spent any time at all here on BITOG, you know that there have been reports shared about poor quality on filters from almost every manufacturer. And really, some of the complaints, like excess glue sticking out from under the steel end caps, seen super petty. So...

Are these actual WAGO connectors that you ordered, or a knock-off? If that is for genuine WAGO, that is a very good price.

It would be interesting what testing went into determining that the WAGO style connection meets electrical code. I am curious to know what makes the WAGO lever style connection more reliable than the push in spring type connection that has been popular (debatably) for decades. Or is it more...

Here in Northern Utah, 9mm peaked at around $23 - $24 for a 50 round box. Of course that was for the price leader ammo, which was changed from shipment to shipment, between Magtech, PMC, Blazer, Fiochi, Federal green box or red box. You could always spend more. I have always bought my ammo at...

I've never personally used the Mercedes sunroof lube, but I have read nothing but positive comments about it. I've seen it used for a lot of different applications, where a high quality lubricant is needed. The reason I have never used it, is that Mercedes packs it in a good sized can, and...

If you like it, and still enjoy shooting it, keep it. If you have lost interest in it, and it is just taking up space in the gun safe, then it's time to sell it, and get something else that excites you.

@Astro14 is right. Self adjusting brakes will keep properly, or at least close to properly, adjusted drum brakes adjusted correctly. What the mechanism will not do is properly adjust a newly installed set of shoes, that have been left far from correct adjustment. Maybe, eventually. But not...
