    Vintage Fishing Reels

    I have a bunch of vintage Penn I use. Better than most anything else made now. Everything else is hard to get parts for. Check out https://alantani.com/. You can probably find help from someone there.

    Restaurant adding things to your bill.

    Volume is a different topic. A half chicken cooked consists of a breast, thigh, leg and wing. Breast and wing are technically white, the other two dark. Most places here 2 piece is breast and wing or thigh and leg (white or dark). Half chicken you get all 4. Never order 3 piece - your just...

    R-444A VS R-1234YF refrigerant

    R-444A is a option for R1234YF, not R134 as far as I know? There are other options for R134 though I think? R134 is no longer allowed in new cars. R1234YF is mandated.

    Chicken wing is white meat. Not trying to take away from your comment. Most chicken wings these days have no meat. :ROFLMAO: White meat = Breast and wing Dark meat = thigh or leg. Technically speaking. All tasty if done right.

    R-444A VS R-1234YF refrigerant

    Since no one has opined (see the thread on why people opine on crap they don't know about. :ROFLMAO: ). What I know at a very high level is mixing different refrigerants is generally a bad idea because they condense at different pressures and temperatures. Physics 101 sort of answer I know...

    Restaurant adding things to your bill.

    Was in Orlando and hit the first mandatory 20% tip at a sit down burger place. For 2 people - I have seen this before for groups, never everyone. If your tacking 20% on without question its no longer a tip or a fee, your menu prices are listed at 20% too low. They said before they seated us...

    Nissan and Toyota are issuing rationing

    The issue here was not the general price of crude, but that the primary supplier of certain synthetic base stocks had been bombed and were unsure when it would be able to re-open. It appeared it was specifically targeted. Of course things could be embellished. If you want group 1 or maybe...

    EVs hit 33% Market Share in France

    Everything in Europe is expensive. A bottle of water in a grocery store was 3 euro's years ago. I forgot my toothbrush - this was like 15 years ago - small town Germany not a city. The hotel told me I had to go to a pharmacy, so I did and the pharmacist literally got one from behind the...

    Top home foreclosure states

    Well its a start but 14% of nothing is still nothing. Foreclosure rates were at all time lows - literally. People who couldn't pay simply sold - likely to a flipper :ROFLMAO:

    Our First visit to Buc-ees

    Stopped at Buc-ees again last week. Was travelling with the wife which is the only time I stop, not because I think anything but positive on buc-ees but because the time it takes. This was early Friday morning. It was a nothing special time but everything I-95 is touristy in the summer. I...

    Top home foreclosure states

    Neccesary evil to make the market work - like short sellers in stocks. Without them you would have houses that couldn't sell because they couldn't get a conforming loan or whatever. No one is obligated to buy from or sell to a flipper. I would rather it get sold and flipped than sold to a...

    EVs hit 33% Market Share in France

    First time I went to Germany like 25 years ago all the cars were diesel, and I asked my hosts why and they said diesel gets better mpg, and fuel was expensive then. 10 years ago I noticed that mostly the diesels were gone and again I asked my hosts, and they said that the new turbo gas engines...

    Canada: Are EFB batteries not readily available locally? Is AGM equivalent?

    Your charging while driving right? So under hood is likely >104F most of the summer I would imagine? Sounds like a legal speak CYA fine print in the manual. If it truly was 104F then the battery does not meet UCC Fitment for purpose, and Walmart would not be selling them.

    R-444A VS R-1234YF refrigerant

    Options are good. If there are options over time it should drive the price of both products down.

    79 Ford Bronco 400 - recommend an oil to avoid another spun bearing!

    m OP had a 400M a decade ago in some other car that spun a bearing for unknown reasons. There were no material or design flaws in a Ford 400M.

    R-444A VS R-1234YF refrigerant

    I am well aware dealers will make every effort to avoid warranty work, but the air filter is connected to the engine vs the refrigerant is not. I always used OEM filters during warranty on my vehicles for the reason you mentioned. Most people will be out of warranty long before there AC...

    *Investors Blog*

    It does not feel like a week market, just too frothy. I have diversified and will be selling some more stuff into strength. Who knows when the bubble pops. If I needed the money in the foreseeable future I would likely feel different.

    R-444A VS R-1234YF refrigerant

    I am pretty sure this would violate magnusson moss. The AC would have nothing to do with the engine warranty. They would be obligated to fix the engine. They could evac and refill with R1234Y on there dime I suppose.
