Why not soak that white cotton like fabric with wool wax? At least in places it touches the lines or other metal.

The best way to check the front wheel bearings IMO is jacking up one side at a time and putting the car in drive. Usually you will hear the bad bearing right away from the inside, sometimes you have to give more than idle revs, but it doesn’t take much. Just make sure the vehicle is secure.

If one cannot question the “established” science, then it’s no longer science and instead becomes something that cannot be discussed here.

Paint first, flooring last IMO. For walls, I would recommend eggshell finish, you likely have matte or satin finish and those are almost impossible to clean up, it’s easier to touch those up. An eggshell finish is easy to clean up and will brighten the place up a bit because the low sheen...

I’m all for repairing things instead of replacing, but sometimes it doesn’t make sense to repair. I have that same Aquasure softener. It works great and uses little salt. Also, the regens are based on gallons used, whereas your old softener was likely time based, so you will save further on salt...

Wow, what an odd issue for sure. Thanks for sharing. And what are the odds of you finding out the fix in YouTube comments? Very fortunate find.

Prius as a brand days are numbered IMO because most of Toyota's models can be a hybrid now. There is very little incentive to get a Prius over a Hybrid Corolla or Hybrid Camry unless one is really into Prius looks. The MPG difference is not really a good seller for it anymore.

Very nice vehicle, congrats. Is that one assembled in china or Sweden? If China, that would be my only gripe about it. Solid vehicle otherwise. The nice thing about most Toyota models is that they’re very easy to use unload if you don’t like it.

Like Overkill mentioned, they simply export the excess “non renewable” energy. It’s a clever play on words and most people will assume the “dirty” plants are getting shut down, they are not. Similarly the term “renewable” is very misleading, there is nothing renewable about solar or wind.

Any stigma against American made products is recent, that’s the power of communist propaganda. Buick was the best selling luxury brand for a few decades in China. You can’t even compare it to Americans stigma against China made products.

That’s how the Chinese government will retaliate. They will push their own product with stolen IP. Why do you think any venture in China requires 51% controlling stake from a Chinese corporation, which in turn is controlled by the Chinese government? They can seize the factories if they want to...

A tap would probably make the job easier in your case and it’s wouldn’t make the problem worse unless you cross threaded it, which can also be done with a chaser. At the end of the day both will accomplish the same thing thing.

we’ll, we don’t have latest 2025 figures yet 😉

Good, let them reap what they sowed. China allowed them and all others to have massive profits for a little while, now with tariffs and all, China figure it’s time to squeeze.

Sure I can see that, especially for a position with “people” skills, but worrying about timing the reply? No, I don’t think that would have any impact. If it actually mattered, I wouldn’t want to work in that kind of environment anyways.

Let’s be real, most of us wouldn’t survive a month without a grocery store and access to clean water.

This isn’t dating, if the manager made up his/her mind one way or another after the interview, your follow up and the timing of it has little chance of changing their position.

Here is an example of how the Chinese companies lie and cheat. So keep on cheering for them and you will eventually get what you wish for. But it won't be pretty. Quick overview of the video: Huawei "benchmarked" their flagship model S800 against Mercedes Maybach, and of course Mayback looks...

I'm pretty sure the CCP has infiltrated BITOG. The "sudden" love for China is quite suspect.

This thread reminds me of this great meme. Most of you think you know China, but you have no clue what a terrifying regime it is. And to support their products is truly disturbing.
