Once you wrap your head around the new orientation of things, it’s actually really well designed to work on. I figured the mechanics just didn’t want to learn anything “new”

Hawkeye: War isn’t Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.

Father Mulcahy: How do you figure, Hawkeye?

Hawkeye: Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?

Father Mulcahy: Sinners, I believe.

Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them - little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for some of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.

Edit: In case anyone missed what I was saying, “This world is worse than hell war” is how I would interpret Sir_Kevin’s comment, and I’m a veteran.

Nah, Americans just don’t like to read the manuals, and they got a bad reputation in the late '70s and early '80s when they first put turbos into the cars, because you had to pull into the driveway, and let the turbo spin down for at least 30 seconds to a minute. If you didn’t, the turbo would seize and then shred itself when you turn the car back on.

Also American mechanics don’t like the fact that the engine is not in the configuration they are used to. It’s rotated 90° on the z axis and 45 on the x axis. Absolutely solid tanks if you actually read the manual, and followed the routine maintenance recommendations.

It’s not the actual turbo that gets gummed, the fuel system is what gums up, but for some reason it’s far worse on the turbo versions of the cars. I could put low octane into the non turbo SAABs I had, and it didn’t gum up the intake the way the turbo versions did. I don’t know why.

He simulated sucking someone’s dick at a recent rally, just before the election. Not sure that would be enough to phase them.

Pre GM SAABs. I’ve personally gotten 2 of my 5 to over 1,000,000 miles on the original engine and transmission. Both manual transmission. A couple hundred of them have made it to 2,000,000 world wide. The lowest milage I killed a SAAB at was 789,000 miles. I hydroplaned into a semi on I-75, and the car still technically ran, but I gave it to my parents as a parts car. Just read the owners manual, and be absolutely religious about basic maintenance.

Oh, and the turbos don’t like low octane fuel. It gums them up.

“Politics in Russia is like watching two dogs fight under a rug. You can hear and see that something is going on, but aren’t able to tell the victor until the bones are revealed.”

They already are. This is just self defense.

Front for money laundering?

Your last description is essentially the idea behind the F-117a. That thing isn’t wasn’t flying, it’s it was achieving escape velocity.

Already dealing with it. Those fuckers are being cut out of my life. Anyone that voted for the mango mussolini, I’m no longer speaking to or helping in any way. Many are shocked, because I used to be known as the friendliest person in my town by several people.

This just raises the question for me about electronic voting machines. I know that 12 states are using machines with no paper trail, I wanna know if my suspicion that Wisconsin may be one of those is correct.

Another reason to worry about her being deported

Well done! Elect an official that is likely to be deported because you just elected, “a dictator on day one who wants to deport 20 million people in the first 6 months, with no end in sight.”

You’re just like Missouri that just ended a statewide abortion ban, only to elect the guy that promised to ban it at the federal level.

Basically your state sold the rest of us out because of your pride, greed, and racism.

I’m not going to make a call for violence, but I want to point out the hypocrisy here. The rich have chosen violence every day of our and their lives, yet we plebes have to be civil about it? Taking the high road hasn’t done us any favors, and it’s about time we learn from that lesson.

IIRC trying to remember for the last 20 years, but those take a couple to a few weeks, and the challenges in court will take possibly till Jan.

Calling it now, the mail in ballot counting will call it for Harris, and we’re gonna have another Jan. 6

You a Baha’i? Cause with what they’ve done in India and Myanmar, Hinduism and Buddhism are out.

What did South Africa do to BTS?

A former housemate did so much water damage with a portable A/C unit, that not even two months ago I had to rip up the whisper walk, and the original wooden flooring (house was built in the '30s) all the way down to the subfloor. Replacing the whisper walk would have been $3000 for just that room. We managed to find vinyl flooring that matched the rest of the flooring in the house and redid the floor for $1500.

My point is that you can get nice vinyl flooring, and it’s not terribly expensive to replace/ install.
