Free healthcare, huh?
That's what we had in Europe when I grew up. Yes, it was "free" if disregarding that my parent were paying about 80% in tax.
Another drawback was the efficiency. When my knees went out at 18 years old (couldn't walk more than maybe 20-30 feet per day) the wait to see a...
I'm impressed. Normally it seems like getting truthful information from China is next to impossible, but apparently AI has found a crack in the armor and now has access to info that not even the Chinese may know about.
No, there's nothing wrong with getting two year old tires, other than that I have to get new tires two years sooner than if I got tires that are actually new, not just new to me.
The ones I want to replace were installed in '18, so well overdue for a car that supposedly tops out at 199 mph...
Recently sent all four tires for my Challenger back to Tire Rack. They were also from '23.
I need to either find fresh tires or not drive it until I do. I strongly suspect it won't get driven until spring the way things are going.
Okay, that's funny. Beyond unrealistic, which will make it interesting to watch it (not) happen.
Or, Europe might become a second Cuba and keep the older usable vehicles going for several decades if the EU is indeed idiotic enough to stick with their pipe dreams.
Never heard of anyone having to buy the tank before.
The rest is probably all in one unit, so it makes sense if the pump, heater, and sensor comes as one. And those are available even on eBay.
Time for a different dealer maybe?
For some reason that sentence made me wonder why they haven't started pushing, or mandating, electric powered generators yet.
After all, it's a dumb enough idea that some politician should've suggested it.
Perhaps, but there are a couple on implements where the hook just wouldn't fit, unless I machine it down quite a bit. And that still wouldn't help with the different heights.
So I use the link that came with the HF version, which solves that issue and is still quite quick to hook up being just...
I dunno. Those diesel generators they have in some places (for a one vehicle charging station) look pretty meaningful. Might be 40-50 something KW.
Multiply that by thousands of EVs and the consumption would be noticeable.
That would mean that California doesn't have any ingenuity left, which might be true, but even with lower EV numbers than they had hoped for there are already scheduled power outages because the grids can support the demand.
I'm absolutely amazed at how long I've lasted.
Had I known I would've tried to be much nicer to my body. And my apologies to all the guardian angels I've driven to drinking, quitting, or worse.
But they say that God protects drunks and idiots, so here I am. Double safe.
And related to battery powered tools, this morning I learned that a man who had collected tools and parts for his project Studebaker for 40 years lost his garage to a...you guessed it, a lithium tool battery being charged. Sad.
No idea if he used quality tools and batteries, but I don't even...
Since we're doing copy and paste, this is basically what I've seen since shortly after the introduction of ULSD.
"While sulfur is not a lubricant itself, sulfur compounds in diesel fuel were historically a key component in providing lubricity, which is the fuel's ability to reduce friction and...
