If the rotors wobble it will push the brake pads back farther than they should be when the car moves. Test by pressing the pedal repeatedly with the car not moving (but engine on).

A FWD car popping out of gear is often because of a bad motor mount. The engine / transmission assembly moves farther than it should from the torque to the wheels, and that pulls on the linkage.

Most of the wired carriers still have a "secret" $30 plan left over from the ACA days where there was a $30 government subsidy, making it no cost to households that qualified for the subsidy. They were required to offer the same service to anyone else for a payment of $30, but of course they...

A dash is acceptable in a domain name it works the same as a letter or number. So as the others said, "com-payhe" is one word, like com3payhe or comxpayhe would be. It looks like "legitcompanyname.com" on the first inspection but it is not. Any text or email coming from a legit company about...

The food is one of the least dangerous things at Waffle House.

Those numbers are wrong. $2500 in 1950 inflates to $33,400 today. I didn't check any of the other ones with the first statement being obvious BS.

Pretty good actually. Those triangle vent windows would also catch bees and throw them right into the driver's face. You don't see them on cars any more.

The threads on flare fittings are typically standard bolt sizes, but that is not how they catalog the fittings. They are specified by the OD of the tube (before flaring).

Are they sure the bird was a tired osprey and not an ill eagle?

Most potential "privilege escalations" i.e. being able to take control without the password were related to the web interface, which you should disable anyway.

http://join.ice.gov That is NOT a parody site.

Sign up for ICE and the gummint will pay them off.

That looks like inverted flare (male threads on the tube side, like brake lines have). The nut spins on the tube, right?

I assume the plan is to circle at a sufficient altitude and distance to the airport so that if the other engine were to fail at any time, they would be able to glide in. SOS does not stand for anything. In Morse code it is a special single sequence, since the three short, three long, three...

It's the same at commercial solar farms. The cost and complexity of tracking the panels is not worth it versus derating them and using more. And ultimately it takes the same amount of acreage per wattage, as gaps are necessary to prevent tilting panel assemblies from shading each other at low...
