    Non-Human Intelligence on Earth/a man with some credentials

    Your post is evidence of closed-mindedness. Barnum and Bailey running the govt's and media, and the apparent NEED of a large portion of the populous to follow the pied pipers of the world. It's a well-known FACT, that any beings who could travel quickly between stars would have colonized the...

    This Former Jaguar Owner is Embarrassed

    Remember when Subie used Martina Navratilova to attract another fringe group? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

    Percentage of people that do their own vehicle maintenance at home.

    One of my main reasons for DIY is that I've seen so many incompetent people. Even those on the job for many years. I want my stuff to be perfect. (And I'm good at ignoring the mistakes I've made! It's a feature, not a bug!) Bad times result in strong men. Strong men result in easy times...

    Subaru or Mazda?

    Wife just went from an Outback, to a CX-5. The new Outback rode worse, and was much noisier. The supercomputer infotainment is a joke for using while moving. The Forester rode even worse, and was noisier. Wife LOVED her 2012 Outback. I tried to get her to buy a RAV4 hybrid, but she insisted...

    Do Defroster Line repairs work?

    I used a silver conductive pen to repair an aluminum trace that had been torn, on my Carver Amazing Loudspeaker ribbon section, 5 or 6 years ago.

    Traded in S22 ultra for s24 ultra

    I've had my Ultra since they came out. Half off from Google Fi. Best phone I've ever had. Try out Samsung's "Good Lock" offerings. Try Good Guardians, too. Activity Launcher will allow you to place a shortcut to almost any function, on the main screen. I have shortcuts to Battery...

    Subaru or Mazda?

    Since at least 2016 (my car) the rear wheels always receive something like 4% power, and the clutch at the rear diff can go to 100% lockup in milliseconds. It's pretty neat tech.

    Mazda dealer threatens to void my CX-5 warranty if I don't let them change my oil every 6 months...

    Absolutely complain to corporate Mazda! I *did* have an engine blow up (twice) and all audi wanted for proof was the sales receipts for oil and filters. Find another Mazda dealer to work with. Or go to an independent mechanic.

    Why I won't be using Rain-X All-Season washer fluid anymore

    I just pumped out all the cheap summer fluid (I mixed in glass cleaner, to get the bug bodies off). Put the orange rain-x winter fluid in, and have used it for the last week. No streaks or other problems. BUT I also applied the original rain-x to the glass several weeks ago, so maybe that...

    Whats your opinion on people who work everyday?

    I worked for county govt. I worked HARD. So did all the other hourly people. Small towns, farms.

    Anyone have experience with decibel meters?

    I have a BAFX 3370, that I use occasionally. I usually use a USB mic and a PC app called REW, to measure my stereo speakers, and EQ them. It sounds like you want to find support for too-noisy areas? Get a lawyer. Your measurements won't hold water...

    Subaru or Mazda?

    We've owned 3 Subies. I bought a CX-5 in '16. Still love it. Spent 3 years getting the wife to trade in her '12 Outback. After lots of test drives of Toyota, Outback, and Forester, she picked a CX-5. Best ride, best handling, best interior. I wanted her to buy a RAV4, so I could play with...

    Cold starts vs lugging

    I drove 1 block, before getting on the highway (65 mph), where I drove for 45 minutes. In the coldest winter in my 60+ years of memory. With 1976 tech. Car ran great when I sold it, 12 years after purchase.

    Teslong NTS500 Borescope

    I got a Depstech 5MP endoscope, and don't like it. Sucks laptop battery down real fast, and it's nowhere near 5mp.

    Mazda 2.5L Skyactive and oil level.

    researcher said: I've had it on my Scion tC (Camry engine, 2AZ-FE) where you fill it to half and over the next day or so it's almost full! Oil is hiding out in there even though it drained for an hour!
