Unless it’s ACTUALLY about your sister’s wedding. In which case it’s now called Narcism. “Adulthood” is in fact, not for everyone. At least you know where you fall on the spectrum now.

Actual recent (and seriously scientific) poll results of state residents. My native/beloved Indiana did not score as high as I would have hoped, but it is not as shameful as others…

I upgrade our Kubota to the Fram XG3593a. Standard M20 x 1.5 sizing so lots of options. I use the same filter on my SUV so always have a spare on the shelf.

The heat won’t affect the corrosion. The acid will, because the battery corrosion is basic (alkaline battery - potassium hydroxide). For a car battery (sulphuric acid), you should clean it up with a base.

Warm diesel is a great solvent for flushing. Mercedes used to even recommend adding it to the crankcase and idling to clean things up.

This is a fair question because it’s likely not well-understood how product lifespans and intervals are calculated. Overall, I do this for four reasons; two trivial but two serious. Serious reasons: 1) The filter is in fact good for way more than 20,000 miles. I’ve both studied and taught...

They have their 5w40 Euro qts. (Don’t have 5qts of that unfortunately) on sale for $4.50, also. For the quart lovers, that’s not bad.

Soak it in a weak acid solution and it will dissolve the corrosion (or dip it in a strong solution more briefly). Unless it has eaten away parts, it will work again. Flashlights are incredibly simple.

Spray penetrant, let sit overnight, and …. Just beat to it. Was going to say boiling water but Kira just said it.

So all those fills sheared out of grade in that relatively short/safe OCI? Is that characteristic of that engine, or those oils?

Vogtle 3 went online this summer. Started construction in 2009, was scheduled for 2016 operation. So projected = 7 years, actual with political interference = 14 years. And that was a new reactor built on the site of an existing Georgia Power facility. Who knows how long a greenfield...

Beaches are ok; just don’t put the back-up power below the expected high-water mark. That’s what happened at Fukushima. TEPCO refused to move the emergency generators from under the reactors (the generic GE design default) up to a higher remote position as suggested. This problem was foreseen...

He also flew a B-52 mission in Vietnam as a reserve officer. https://theaviationgeekclub.com/when-jimmy-stewart-flew-b-52s-in-vietnam-the-story-of-the-hollywood-star-who-became-an-air-force-2-star-general/amp/ And starred in a favorite movie of mine (He was a B-36 and B-47 pilot also).

Awesome movie. The scene where Cliff tosses Bruce Lee into the doors of the Lincoln deserved an Oscar all on its own. I need to watch it again. His KG was a nice touch, but I did like the Caddy he drove a lot more.

One thing I do to make long pasta boil better is break it in half as it goes in. If I am making a pound, I will pick up a few ounces at a time, snap it in the middle of the bundle, and sort of fan it out as I drop it in, so it does not go in as a thick bundle. This makes it cook a lot more...

Delorean and a light pole, huh? I saw the same thing, and I got a picture.

These things are cracker for jobs like this. I’ve used regular blade before but they knick too easily. Discovered these this year and wish I had them long ago. Acetone as a solvent is also great. Acetone, just like artillery, can solve a lot more problem than people give them credit for...

That is pretty funny. Myers really lit the lamp when he made that Tim Horton parody with “Stan Mikita.” Fortunately I had been to Canada enough and been to enough hockey games by the time the movie came out that I got the joke (I grew up in the South so it’s likely I would have not, otherwise).

This article at bangshift and linked video make it much clearer how they work. https://bangshift.com/general-news/tech-stories/ever-wonder-how-a-torque-stick-works-high-speed-video-helps-reveal-the-truth-behind-the-tire-shops-best-friend/ See the video above. They simply won’t torque any...

I understand Tim Horton is the Canadian version of our legendary Stan Mikita. ;)
