Yes, I agree. It does improve upon medical imaging. I saw a report on that. But I would say that the jobs cuts we've seen are due to mass over hiring during the pandemic insanity.

Good work. A testament to persistence and effort. Reinforces my view that anything with that many miles is going to be opening up a can of worms. And I would avoid if at all possible. That said, with the price of cars these days....... I would have used the cheapest dino oil for 6, 50 or 100...

Yea. In the manual, Toyota says the center of the ball should be 7 inches out from the hitch pin hole. The MotoTote is adjustable, but I'd be surprised if you could get the center of mass of the bike that close to the back of the truck. Then again, all those specs are given with an abundance of...

I haven't heard of any problems. Not a lot of YT videos out there on it. One YT'er did it with a total of 500lbs on his Tacoma. It worked pretty good but he said he didn't have a lot of spring left.

I agree that companies are spending big $ on AI. But where's the payoff? No proven productivity gains so far. Companies are rehiring. "AI will cure cancer and cause social unrest", "Assimilate now or be left behind". Same old AI hype from the venture boys. Cashing in the stock options. The old...

I'm thinking about purchasing a MotoTote hitch carrier. I want to pick up a small (around 300lb) dual sport that I can take camping. Ride trails and the BDR but also tour around local roads. Which might require short highway stints so I don't want any tiny dirt bikes. Will be mounting on 2026...

I'm still trying to figure out what AI is good for. Admittedly a tech dinosaur here. Seems like, despite all the hype, it just perpetuates all the misinformation on the internet. I've heard all the claims by Sam Altman and other venture capitalists that are making big bank on this. But what can...

WT? Oats and honey aren't at all super perishable. Keep the oats dry and honey sealed and they last forever.

How much? Most cars take 4, 5, or even 6 quarts of oil. How much remains after you drain the oil. I would have guessed less than a cup. So how much is it and how did you find out this information?

Spider bite. I got one while sleeping in a partially finished new construction build back when I was a kid. Right on the eyelid. Swelled my eye closed for a couple days.

You may be right about the OE manufacturers. I don't know. But something's wrong here. You shouldn't need to keep your daily drivers on maintainers daily. That's for sure.

Not sure, to answer your original question. But I think the latest inflation print was 6%. And that's from the government who is exactly the cause of inflation by their money printing and deficit spending. So I take it with a grain of salt. To take a lot of money out of real assets and hold in...

That doesn't seem super old to me but I don't really know anything about battery shelf life. How does sitting on a shelf in a store effect battery life?

Some use crush washers some don't. Some use copper some use aluminum. Some use no washer, some use a plastic washer, some use some type of o-ring. I usually end up reusing the crush washer for about 100K miles by the time I remember to get one. No leaks so far.

I don't know about 14 years, but I've never had a new OE battery that didn't last at least 10 years. OE is usually the way to go. Just curious: Why not pick up a new Nissan battery at the dealer? The cam position sensor in my 2006 Chevy Aveo lasted 170K miles. The AutoZone replacement lasted...
