PF showed that the 12 V starter batteries at Walmart are the same as the batteries at the auto-part stores, but lower cost. And while not pointed out on PF, they move off the shelves faster at Walmart, so they are more recently made. PF also showed what tire pressure gauge is accurate and...

That's called a BRAIN FART. Expect a few of those more often as you age.

When someone like LSJ teaches something I already know, I just rember that anyone writing a book or making a video, can't know the background of the knoledge of the listener, and wait for the sections that actually teach me something.

When one conveys information, if they include info the person listing to already knows then they insult that person's intelangence. If they begin talking about a subject at a level that requires a background of knoledge that the person listening does not have they loose the attention of that...

I'm not denying the intelligance value. I'm acknowledging the intelligance value, and that is why, if recoverable it needs to be destroyed to the extent that there is no longer any thing left of it that would provide information. But I'm also pointing out that all the parts of it are scrap as...

--------------------------- Once submerged in salt-water, it only scrap-metal. Avaition requires top quality gear everywhere. The quality of everything of that aircraft has been compromised, and all parts are no longer usable. It's literally not worth the effort required to recover it. If it...

When they find some quiet corner that is hidden and not their usual place, and curl up and don't want to come get treats or water, it time. They know when it's their last hours, and seek to find a safe spot where no other animal will attack them.

Just a guess, I'm thinking that an evaluation will be done to see if the aircraft could be recovered by any unfriendly. If so, an underwater team will be assigned to destroy it.

Better to maneuver to avoid incoming and loose something, compared to not maneuvering and taking a hit. Equiptment, even when new, is expendable. And in the total picture it's wise to keep that attitude.

PUP 0W - 20 with a Fram Ultra and change when the OLM of my 2016 CRV reads 20 %, which is about 3,500 miles and about 10 months. I know it's overkill, but I do use almost full throttle when fully warmed up and climbing long hills sometimes. It will give all of its 185 HP if asked, and does it...

Not likley, but if the previous owner way overfilled it, that could cause smoke.

K24 engines are very reliable. Because of that, uses ones are low cost because there's low demand. I'm wondering if you could have found a low mileage used one and had that put in.

1 gallon of product to 250 gallons of fuel would brake down to 15.14 mL of product to one gallon of fuel. McMaster Carr sells a nice graduated cylinder in chemical resistant translucent white that can measure mL up to 100 mL in 1 mL increments. They have an online store.

I told this true story on bitog before, but here's a repeat. When my siblings and I were kids, the house next door had a big dog. Every Sunday they put it in the back yard and went to church and then to a restaurant with a local TV celebrity. The dog would bark loudly the entire time they were...

I used a pair-of-pliees from the stores tool isle to remove the plastic terminal caps, then put it back in the same place I got it from when I was done using it.

I bought a set of NGK plugs for my nephews 2013 Civic from RA. I phoned NGK to ask if there was a way to verify if they were made by NGK or fake. A woman who answered told me what to look for and mine were made by NGK. So phone NGK. They were nice to talk to and happy to help...

One of my brothers had a 1978 Regal coup T top with a 350 4 barrel, headers and a loud exhaust, and wide slicks in the back and sport rims. He was just shy of loosing his license because of all the times he was stopped, then a fuel leak by the carburator burned it down after he put it in a...

Turbocharged with 99 K miles, what could go wrong with that, LOL. Turbos coke up ( get clogged with carbon, usually after 100 k to 120 k miles ). And bearings fail. Having a turbo means there's a lot of extra hot surface under that hood to provide plenty of extra heat to literally cook all...

Years ago I was sitting in front of a pizza and hoagie shop waiting for my hogie to be made, and a young man walking by asked for money so he could buy food. I told him I dont carry money, but I use my credit card to pay for things, and after my hoagie is done being made, if you want to go into...

Until recently, the saving grace of anti-surveillance has always been the huge number of man-hours involved. Now, with AI becoming more powerful all the time, that limitation is being overcome.
