    WORLD CUP 2026 THREAD

    K, now that I'm on a proper keyboard - easiest would be to just translate the beginning of L'Equipe's analysis. These guys have been in business for 130-ish years, and have never been known for pulling punches: ------------------------ Dazed and brought down from their cloud, Les Bleus failed...

    WORLD CUP 2026 THREAD

    You should see the reactions in the French media, L'Equipe wrote it the way I would have if I knew anything about soccer. A thorough analysis with no drama and no mercy, minutes after it all ended. "A team that didn't see much real challengers till now, overwhelmed in all areas, went through...

    Well, it's refreshing to see the better team win for once

    Air Conditioner Auto Dry is currently on, 2025 Genesis

    And yet, all that's needed is just to cut the AC the last couple of miles of the trip which 99% of the time is enough to dry everything by the time we park and cut the engine.

    WORLD CUP 2026 THREAD

    As a French among other things, I have to say France is absolutely subpar so far and simply doesn't deserve to win. Violent, disorganized... Makes me grind my teeth that the English guy and the Swiss kid were kicked out of their respective games when I see the stuff France is getting away with...

    WORLD CUP 2026 THREAD

    I'm not for a second claiming that soccer is as violent as hockey. Just that there's much more endurance and hardship than it looks. And we haven't even scratched the most violent of them all - waterpolo 😇 . One of the most violent things ever. For some reason half my class played waterpolo in...

    Harald Anton Schumacher comes to mind. Got through whole seasons with injuries he was hiding so he could continue. Ally Maxwell - Went guarding through the second half plus extra time with three broken ribs and a ruptured spleen. Bert Trautmann - broken neck, dislocated and ruptured vertebrae...

    Are those cheap ebay clocksprings worth using?

    Absolutely not, of course. I'll chart more than half of it to stocking fees and such - if we're talking about my 30 years-old 4Runner. Parts get more expensive for older cars. I used to work IT in a parts warehouse back in France in a different life, and we had a legendary full exhaust line for...

    Downsizing elantra to 16 inch wheels? Dealers giving mixed answers

    Go to hyundai parts deal, and find the part numbers for your car's front rotors and calipers. Then look them out for the car that has the 16" wheels. If they differ - you likely have larger rotors and it won't work. I bet 99% chances that they are the same, and that your car was engineered for...

    Are those cheap ebay clocksprings worth using?

    It's a very simple part with very stringent requirements as far as materials go. Material tension, durability, resistance, gold plated where needed - the perfect candidate for passing savings down to the client's safety 😇

    Gun cleaning day

    Your H key is probably borked. Try hitting it repeatedly in a text file or a keyboard testing web page. It's also close to the G. Both seem to trigger the backslash and are likely on the same hardware path as the backslash.

    Are those cheap ebay clocksprings worth using?

    So I just did a search for aftermarket clock springs that would be good enough, and StandardBrand dot com came up. Jumped down the rabbit hole and lo and behold, they MUST be good, as their version for my 4Runner retails for $600 to $750 😇. Mileage may vary for the Subarus, maybe worth checking.

    RIP Lindsey Graham

    Wouldn't they make him walk on a flight where he would NOT be stuck on a window(less) seat in economy class though... Leg exercises any chance you get, even while seated. Even just flexing every leg muscle without moving the leg helps. Calf pumps. regular hydration, and don't keep your legs...
