    Solus OS

    I know there are a few of you that enjoy using Linux as either your main OS or as a hobby. I've been using Linux as my main home OS since 2007 and for the most part have stuck with Ubuntu and Mint (and close derivatives). But I've also played with other distros from Fedora to Manjaro to OpenSUSE...

    Ashland Inc. buys Oil Can Henry's

    Saw this in the local news, it's an Oregon based quick lube that expanded to six western states. Never used one but I understand they are a "step up" from Jiffy Lube. There's one down the street from me that's been there at least 20 years. Always had Castrol signs when I drive by. Not clear if...

    What Linux Distros do you use

    This is just for fun so try not to turn it into a flame war. For those who use Linux on a regular basis I am just running a little poll. 1. What distro do you use for your main computer? 2. What desktop environment do you prefer? 3. If you distro hop, what other distros have you installed...

    Fram TG 10575, 5k OCI

    From a 2012 F150 Eco-Boost The OCI was 5,002 miles with Castrol Edge. ADBV was pliable, media a little wavy but no holes or rips. End caps were solidly glued on and bypass valve was functional. I certainly could have gone longer. Replaced with a FU and planning on a 7.5-10k OCI.

    Plasma 5

    Been running Plasma 5.3 on Kubuntu for the past few weeks and I am really impressed, and this is coming from someone who has never been much of a KDE user. I tried to like KDE 4.X but I always seemed to go back to a GTK based desktop after a week or two (LXDE, MATE, XFCE, and Cinnamon being most...

    Native English speakers who speak another language

    I'm pretty close to full blooded American, many generations removed from immigrant relatives with some relatives immigrating to North America as early as 1640. Because of this I never bothered to learn another language besides English. But my mother in law is Dutch and most of her family is...

    Motorcraft FL-910s, 5k OCI

    Nothing much to see here, looks good except for the uneven pleats on the seam side. ADBV nice and pliable. No tears that I could see and PLENTY of glue on the end caps holding the media in place. Going to 10k OCI's, replaced with a Fram Ultra

    IndyCar 2015

    This series is slowly crawling back from near extinction. I'm [censored] they still haven't come to Portland yet as I attended the Champ Car races there at least ten times. For a while there the cars were all the same, though the racing was tight and competitive. Then they went to two (three but...

    Motorcraft FL500s with only 1k miles

    This came on my F150, dealer had put the wrong oil in (at least the window sticker said Valvoline 5w-20, though when I asked they said they always put 5w-30 Motorcraft Syn Blend in Eco-Boost engines). I just changed it out for peace of mind. I considered just leaving the filter on and changing...

    Anyone follow WRC?

    They used to show it on Speed a few years ago but now I can only get it streaming. Rally Sweden is going on right now, these guys are insane. What I wouldn't give to be at one of these!
