Not really we have been bouncing around 174,000 vehicle fires a year for a while and if you go to a time before EVs existed the annual numbers used to be higher. There are claims that fire and rescue responds to 284,000 vehicle fires a year but that metric is a decade old and is assumed to be...

In this area 8-12 is more likely with NG. Just the nature of the beast, all depends on water

That’s what I do

Another thing to remember is that some of the very inefficient electric water heaters can have extraordinarily long lifespans if you have the right water and replace the sacrificial rod occasionally. I’ve encountered a few from the 1960’s still in active use. The cost of power usually dwarfs...

17.7 is downloading, not sure when it came out

I just picked up a Sony Blu-ray at Goodwill for $9.99 requires an external 12 volt PSU and only has 1 button on it. By the time I get a PSU and a remote to work Goodwills horrible return policy means I probably got a doorstop .

Numerically there are many more ice fires than EV, there was a fires per mile metric thrown around at one point but I’m not seeing it. I vaguely recall the F-series (ICE) alone is in the 10’s of thousands but not every fire is catestrophic. My own relatively short street has had 2 gas car...

One friend finally got a job, it’s at a place that hires people in his field but he is in shipping and receiving. (Might have a chance at getting moved from seasonal to design as they have a lot of turnover). Pay is low/moderate and the atmosphere there is better than most places he’s worked...

There was one place on the APIs smeg list that was re-using oil bottles and refilling them with 10 with 30 topoff oil that tested very similarly to used oil.

It’s actually far easier, safer, cheaper and cleaner to make diesel from #2/4/5/6 plastics . Only pollution is carbon black, CO2 and methane (which can be refed to increase efficiency)

I was going to say find an antique or get the stand up freezers that can be turned up in temp to also operate as a fridge. You then need 2 units but they by far are the most reliable, cheap and if you look carefully are usually much more efficient than a normal side by side, so much so in some...

How long ago? January 2023 is a world away from December 2023 let alone 2024. My friends average about 1 in person interview per hundred applications and that is with pro help. Teams and Virtual in this area don’t count as those are just the gatekeepers before in person. Likely a bad industry...

I have 2 friends that have been unemployed ~6 months + after being downsized both have the necessary qualifications and work experience but no one hires. Some have gotten the exact same form letter rejection about “going a different direction “ from completely different industries weeks after...

Which is unbelievably stupid to start with, cars should be rock solid and stable if you need to remove a 12 volt even if that removal takes days.

Crunched up garlic rye chips are better, sear the meatball on the outside, raw on the inside then add to boiling hot sauce and toppers to finish

I’ve always found all frozen meatballs to have an off flavor like aged meat. Fresh from the grocery are usually better At best some frozen are less off putting especially when combined with something with a heavy flavor like porcupine meatballs. Meat balls are just ground beef/pork and some...

Many chains aren’t fully floating in oil with adequate flow rates either but they are a lot smaller supposedly for “performance “.

The chain they use is sized for a huffy bicycle instead of a vehicle and the guides are made from legos. My 82 diesel suburban had the original chain with 438,000 miles

Isn’t that more of an ll01 thing as SL just has more ZDDP

I’ve never seen that oil at my local stores
