Just a month ago or so I used Macrium Reflect to clone a Windows 10 installation from a 250 GB 5400RPM 2.5" drive to a 240 GB SSD. Due to the small size decrease I had to resize the main data partition during the clone. It went smooth as butter though, and wow what a huge improvement in speed...

Wife's Toyota Sienna was left in accessory mode for several days - battery quite dead. Jump-starting it from my car, I was wondering how much current is flowing into it? It would seem like it could be quite a lot - source battery is rated over 500 CCA, cables are 8-ga, 10 ft. My hunch is that...

Originally Posted by SubyRoo Might want to check the main relay as well. They are a known issue in the older Hondas. The solder points have a tendency to lose their connection. I second this. We had a 2001 Accord and the fuel pump relay board had bad solder joints causing a very similar issue...

I had the same thought. The guy who mentioned the price must've done a Google search for the pistol.

VTEC just kicked in, yo!

Now I don't know exactly what the army is looking for, but I can't help but think that the .224 Valkyrie, or something along those lines, would be a better choice than something as large as a 6.8. It could be loaded on the light side with the existing M855A1 bullets for a relatively small...

This article (https://www.janes.com/article/83596...for-6-8-mm-next-generation-squad-weapons) says that it's a brand new cartridge (not 6.8SPC) but doesn't give any information on the round itself.

I wish the article had more information on the round itself. It sounds like this is traditional ammunition, not caseless?

I've always had the best results from OEM wiper blades.

I just can't even.

My favorite part was the pallet in the back, and how the loader operator put the rock perfectly in the middle of it!

I'm not sure on the age... The house is 25 years old and the A/C is probably original. It uses R22 if that helps date it. How would I tell if it needs to be recharged?

Thanks. I'm going to check all of the vents to see how much air is coming out. I'm thinking I'll also try to measure air temp right at the air filter, then I'll know if it's sucking in warm air from somewhere.

Our A/C has been having trouble keeping up this year. We only run it when the temperature inside the house gets into the mid 80's, which has happened the last few days. IIRC, last year on a 90-ish degree day the A/C would run almost, but not quite constantly, but was able to maintain 75 degrees...

I hadn't worn one in years but my wife recently bought me a fitness focused one and I have to say I really like it.

From what I understand, the bulletproof reliability of diesel engines is somewhat a thing of the past now that they're more complicated and computerized. I don't have any specific information regarding the reliability of the Cruze diesel, but my thought is that if you're switching from a Civic...
