He lost 9 years of his life with his child. It's hard to put a value on that but she may not care if she views him as a means to an end (ATM vs Father). He's frankly lucky to be alive. Over 20k people have died or gone missing at construction projects in SA since 2017

These people are not business owners.

Are they incentiveized to improve their performance or do the minimum? My guess is that they're paid to perform the minimum.

IMO one of the largest differences between generations in the US is the degree of foreign competition for labor. Why pay an American $150k when an offshore placement firm can for the same price import 2 workers on H1B visas. I've personally seen couples in country on H1B where both have FT...

5 E Battery St has you're name on it. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/5-E-Battery-St-Charleston-SC-29401/305380797_zpid/

Gen X here. I'm not so sure because a lot of that wealth is going to end up paying for end of life care for parents and the parents are also spending like mad. For example, imagine paying $12k/mo at an assisted living center with 24 hr staff. Sure some wealth will transfer but on an inflation...

Basically correct. Minor detail is that the footprint of the house encompasses the entire lot.

The perspective makes it difficult to discern much. What I do see is that 1 and 2 car garages exist so they're not necessarily narrow like a "shotgun house". These tract homes just have a front facade to imitate a design style.

An A3/B4 product has excess capacity to handle acidic byproducts because it's being used with ULSG/ULSD so you could run it longer than the 13k oci on your M57. Back during the transition around 2004 there was talk that the C3x oil would exhibit some degree of higher wear at the tail end of...

Basically ESP and other ACEA Cx oils are designed for use with ULSD/ULSG. FS (ACEA Ax/Bx) is designed for use with high sulfur fuels. IMO oil companies are putting more effort into developing Cx oils because both gas and petrol vehicles sold in the US, EU, UK etc. are equipped with DPF/OPF...

Nothing wrong with M1 0w40. 5w40 FS M1 is sometimes hard to find. You could always try Quaker State Euro 5w40 or Pennzoil (Shell) Euro 5w40. Castrol 5w40 is also fine if on sale, but I would choose the 0w40 over it. Do you actually have fuel dilution of 5% or more?

The European oil certs for light duty passenger vehicles are intended for both gas and diesel. Oils with BMW LL04 approval are suitable for your engine due to the emissions system. These are ACEA C3 oils. M1 ESP in 30 or 40 grade and Pennzoil Euro L 5w30 are readily available. The ESP in 40...

What do you mean?

Workers got tired of all the homeless camped outside.

The downward trend will likely continue because the will be fully broken in.

Not really. The system doesn't know if the oil has or has not been changed

The ESP line meets the latest approvals for a large number of european makes. It is becoming the flagship line for M1 with the automotive industry moving to OPF/DPF. Also, it has been suggested that 5w30 ESP contains a unique additive (alkylated naphthalenes?) in order to meet the more...

I would say no because as Blackstone says, there isn't a statistically relevant difference in wear between brands of oil. Besides there are different tests for TBN depending on whether the oil is virgin or used so the numbers don't correlate. I would opine that wear rates are largely engine...

Absolutely. Thankfully the US has been on ULSG for awhile now so the AW chemistry may or may not been that relevant.

If one suffers from OCD it can become a medical issue having to wait until it's 1 quart/liter low to top off. What would one do with that 200ml syringe and that open bottle of oil? *Sarc*
