1·3 days agoOnce 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”
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.
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.
Front for money laundering?

You’re correct, Google just returns results for The Beatles because enough people search for that rather than Three Dog night, and I wasn’t paying attention
It was sang by
The BeatlesThree Dog Night.
95% of the lower tax brackets (as in if you aren’t in the top 5 % they are raising your taxes permanently, again) of the US are now not only fucked, we are now “the enemy within,” for being “too poor.”
4·12 days agoYay! Fresh Konsi! She has no clue that she just admitted to knowing spells that some epic cleric in the past knew, and no one since. Freaking adorable!
According to a quick search, she makes $2.5 million to $3 million per year in residuals off of that one song.

Or at a homestead scale.
Exactly. The last time I felt it necessary to clarify my sexuality, it was because some girl asked me if I would be good to take with her for clothes shopping. I replied that “while I am actually an excellent shopping companion, because I will find stuff that looks great on you, that you overlooked, to answer the question you very pointedly didn’t ask, no I’m not gay.”
The look on her face was, as MasterCard says, priceless. She was shocked that I knew what she was asking, and that I wasn’t at all offended. I think it was all the theater, choir, and swim team in high school, but I have pinged people’s gaydar since middle school, and I couldn’t care less, now that I’m big enough that they don’t bully me physically for it.
Why do e bikes even have fenders? I’m not going off-road with the thing, and I cannot imagine trying to ride one where it actually rains, rather than pretends to rain.
IIRC somewhere over here someone offers Deep Fried Coke. I don’t know how one deep fries soda, and at this point I don’t want to ask.
Earth 2 had a better plot.
I would highly recommend Portal and Portal 2 as primers for basically all your 3D games. Not only did Yahzee give The Orange Box in general a glowing review, but they teach you basic gaming mechanics almost intuitively.
