Yeah, that doesn't sound great either.... Next topic "Why do people walk aggressive dogs in public?". My dogs aren't friendly really friendly to strangers at all, and will bark and bark, until we establish than the new person is OK, but they are sitting on the front porch or under a tree at...

Yes, I think its time for some regulation of targeted content for individuals. I don't know what that should be, but make it simple for people to stay in contact with their actual contacts, and be able to turn off everything else that randomly pops up. Also have some PSA's on how you are being...

Yeah, I see that often on facebook, my motorized gadget is worth $2k in good condition, but has a potentially major $1k+ in parts problem, so I'll ask $1500.... I don't bother responding to those. Just watch for a decent one at a fair price and snap it up as soon as its posted.

Sounds like a good setup for the east and midwest, as almost any off road trail is going to have a lot of sections going through dense forest. I guess in Utah and the surrounding states, there is enough public open land actually use a big Australia/Africa/Central Asia big truck style...

The belt drives on a rider should save the engine on rock or stump strikes, but they do end quite a few push mower careers! I've bent a few blades and broke 3 spindle carriers on my rider while mowing the trails, nothing else seems to happen when it tries to eat a big root.

Both? Maybe gummed up carbs, making them run lean too? Reminds me that I haven't looked to see if the air filter is still there on mine... I did change the oil this spring, so it doesn't have that excuse to blow up. I think once they get so old people just want a reason to get a new one and...

Probably 5-6 years old Fram Ultra's? Someone was giving them away and the boxes were old, so I ran them in our CRV, and then had one left, so I did a change on the 2018 Outback with it, for the summer where the low pressure by-pass probably wouldn't matter as much?

Yep, you can double your square footage for 10-15-20% more? and only about that much more for heating and cooling. And a walkout basement is nice to have if the lot allows it. I would think twice about a basement in a low lying water saturated area and need to rely on sump pumps most of the...

Those seemed to have the same sheet metal supplier as the MB sprinter vans of the 2000's? Just seemed to rust from the inside out! Under never scratched paint on the roof... Discount India or China or Russia steel I guess?

At 55-60mph I don't find them that noisy really, if they have some reasonably quiet tires and you keep the doors on ;) . My buddy traded in a comfy quiet newer RAM 1500 to get back into a 2012 4 door Wrangler with a manual. He wanted a vehicle that serves him, instead of him trying baby a...

Yep, in a commercial setting, you've got to make sure the equipment is tough and durable and approved. I'm sure the plastic ramps comply with some standards, but I can't imagine a commercial shop using them? To easy to partially weaken them with abuse, age, chemicals? Building the wood...

Why get plastic at all? I guess they are a bit lighter than metal ones and a bit cheaper, but guessing when they are going to fail isn't for me... Some decent steel ones with the reinforcing bars are a lifetime product, or wood seems to be a much more robust ramp.

Hmm, well I think there is a difference between a person participating in elections, vs their money participating. 1 person, 1 vote is good. 1 group or person spending 20 or 200 million dollars to buy an election leads to problems like corruption, nepotism. What we also have is one...

Interesting viewpoints and conclusions in those. Corruption and education/teacher quality have a connection, but its probably a better idea to get rid of corruption first, and then see what you are working with? It seems the teacher union needs to spend silly amounts of money on their...

Somehow I doubt teachers unions are the most powerful political force in many states? If they were, the funding by school board would be much more equal in those states. Teacher are a political force, but far from the most powerful in Ontario at least... Have you ever taught a course for...

Yep, that's what I do when replacing front suspension parts, get the tires pointed straight, and then adjust the steering wheel. That is weird your toe gets off so easily? Not much to bend or shift in a strut car?

You've got a lot of things going through your head at once(just like me ;)).... Corruption is a bad thing, and widespread corruption is an indicator that a society's values are breaking down. You still need to have a functioning government providing public services, and it is cheaper to...

Is it the same transmission? I assume not, if they changed to a different fluid? Or they saw it fit to upgrade the fluid? If the car still has warranty then I would just use the new toyota stuff, to preserve the warranty, and save the older fluid spec for later when other people have tried...

Yeah, for you as an individual, you need to look at the community, and the specific school. Some states have more good ones than others, but that's for each State to figure out and solve. In Ontario and most of Canada, we fund public schools through the province(state) so every school gets the...

I believe our best rooster recipe is something like 160-170F for 8+ hours? My wife is away so I can't ask her. Then it is still relatively juicy and tender. Going at higher temps for shorter time doesn't work out nearly as well as the actual muscle fibres are tougher even if the are falling...
