    High maintenance costs and lack of fuel strands hydrogen busses

    Hey, at least they got 139 busses out of the deal. The latest government “investments” don’t even require delivering a product or service.

    No pistons, no cylinders, no logic: This engine is so futuristic that it shouldn’t even run

    Looks like another attempt to round up some investor money. These things pop up over the years almost like clockwork, then disappear only to re-emerge few years down the line.

    Automotive AC troubleshooting 101 - help me get started?

    Well, the EPA says that appliances under section 609 are not subject to section's 608 servicing requirements. And section 609 clearly states it applies to people doing commerce. ASE material doesn't apply here because it's also commerce. Not sure who is right in this case, but it's definitely...

    Automotive AC troubleshooting 101 - help me get started?

    I feel it is you who are playing a lawyer here. The EPA states plain as day that these sections regulate all persons doing the AC repair/servicing for payment or bartering. Please show me how it applies to an owner doing his/her own repairs.

    Off-duty police chief in PA suspended after pulling gun on motorcyclist

    It needs to be stated that the charges were dropped shortly after the surveillance video footage was released to the public. Therefore it stands to reason that chief's claims were fabricated.

    Off-duty police chief in PA suspended after pulling gun on motorcyclist

    Yes, because getting fired for a criminal offense is the real punishment. Oh the humanity, that poor chief is out of a job now. The rest of us get off lightly for such actions, by comparison.

    Off-duty police chief in PA suspended after pulling gun on motorcyclist

    Here is a pretty good summary of what we know to date. Hopefully this guy will be able to obtain the vehicle camera footage if there is one.

    Off-duty police chief in PA suspended after pulling gun on motorcyclist

    Sounds like he was so concerned about public safety that he was willing to gun down a person for it.

    Automotive AC troubleshooting 101 - help me get started?

    it seems like it’s the local municipality or states that dictate whether a leak needs to be found. The EPA appears to have no such mandate for vehicles, at least according to this Google AI result.

    Reasons why pool drains might not be working?

    Liquid chlorine is shock. In fact it’s way better and acts faster than the granulated shock because it doesn’t add CYA to the water. All these shocks, treatments, algae outs etc. complicate more things than they solve for because they oftentimes throw off the chemical balance of the pool.

    Societal addiction to phones

    There is no denying the youth of the past spent a lot more time outdoors. I know I did as well. It was either that, or stay at home and essentially do nothing. My point is that the youth of the past looked for entertainment just the same as the youth of today. It was simply the lack of...

    Reasons why pool drains might not be working?

    Make sure your filter is clean before you add the chlorine. Back flush it until the water is not dirty anymore, then add chlorine and let the filter do its job.

    Off-duty police chief in PA suspended after pulling gun on motorcyclist

    Only a suspension? If a civilian did it, there would be a criminal investigation. This police chief should be charged for a crime he committed, not just suspended from his job.

    Societal addiction to phones

    Let’s be real here for a second, you guys were glued to the TV growing up and if you could take it with you, you would have. The generations that grew up before you, also thought you were crazy for staring into a box all day long. Nothing is new under the sun, just old guys complaining about...

    In-N-Out ... changes in food dyes and condiments

    I like In and Out fries and I like the fact they are prepared fresh. I grew up on home made fries and of course you can’t always get them “right” with just a pot full of oil, so perhaps that’s why I’m less picky.

    Front driver side brake still dragging!

    Lift that side and try turning the wheel by hand. You should have little resistance. Then pump the brake pedal few times and try again, see if it’s hard to turn then.

    Scanning documents for a medical claim reimbursement

    I just take a picture with my iPhone and then crop to size just the document. They are usually in the 1-3mb in size. If you have the “live picture” feature turned on, it may cause some problems, if that’s the case, I just take a screenshot of the picture, which will be saved as a png. This file...

    CPU possibly thermal throttling.

    By limiting the max FPS you’re limiting the GPU usage and in a roundabout way, the power it uses. Which proves my point that it’s the GPU that dumps the heat to the CPU.

    CPU possibly thermal throttling.

    That’s why gaming laptops suck. Your GPU and CPU likely share the same heat pipe(s) and the GPU is heating up your CPU too much it seems. The game along shouldn’t task the CPU much. Download MSI afterburner and limit the power to your GPU. It will lower the FPS a bit, but the GPU will produce...

    Laundry room cabinets

    The laundry room in our house is quite bare and only had one closet like shelf. It needed proper cabinets so my wife can organize all the laundry stuff. IKEA kitchen cabinets are great for this. Not sure how they hold up in an actual kitchen, but I’ve used these cabinets previously in a laundry...
