  Bundle of snakes for the intake? I had to look that one up. I figured it wasn’t a wax and shave for the engine bay. Good ECM choice, super customizable. Don’t stop looking. You never know when deals show up. I’m 2 years in and nowhere near finished, just got to keep waiting for the right prices. Better slow than never.

  I can assure you that the flight attendant group is much more than these two categories.

  Materials science and the ability to harness adequate energy to drive such a machine. IOW, lighter, stronger metals, durable metals, bearings, lubricants, tire materials, quality fuels, engine power which is dependent on all the aforementioned, and all of that tied to close tolerance mass manufacturing.

  We really take for granted how fast and precise manufacturing has become.

  Even simple things we don’t think of. For instance - Cars from the ‘80s and before had interior materials that sustained UV damage and you’d end up a with fading, cracked dash, cracking seats, etc. Windshields would crack super easy from a rock chip. Now? The vast majority of car interiors remain in very good condition other than usage wear. I’ve taken multiple rock hits on windshields with many different cars and had zero cracks.

  Materials science is amazing.

  There’s not much worse as a kid in a learning environment, or even with your parent(s), to be shut down painfully for being right about something that they don’t know or don’t think you know. Really crushes the satisfaction of nailing a win and turns it into bitterness and starts the lifelong process of keeping your mouth shut when you’re right and letting others win when wrong.

  Straight six for the indestructible win.

  All whopping 90 hp of it. My first car was 85 hp, so I had to admire the 90 hp Chevy II.

  Gotta love that the battery is the same size as most of the visible engine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I always find irony in the fact that the US helped set up better forms of government in the countries it fought in WW2, Japan and Germany, than it could make better in its own country.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨413524 Gang, rise up!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought this was a bolt tightening pattern and wondered why anyone cared where they started.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Flags have become a warning over the last decade or so about the person waving it. It no longer has the hope of a better America, solidarity, or welcome; it’s a symbol of a myopic, selfish, aggro, uneducated person full of performative nationalism and real hatreds.

  Our independence was supposed to free the people of kings and tyrants. It’s been 249 years since 1776, we have undone what the Constitution authors fought for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's the truth⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Aliens. Or Signs. Pretty much the same premise. Mindless, pointless killers that humans avoid or get killed by. Except Aliens at least had the heartless Weyland Yutani corp and a cast of characters the viewer got to enjoy. Far better film.

  I don’t disagree.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Corporations are saving the planet!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  We just need thousands more little steps. It all adds up. Like the whole plastic straws debacle. While mocked, it’s one more little step.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I pay $60 (or whatever), pay for my data connection, and get to play my game literally for years. It’s one of the cheapest forms of entertainment around. I get tons of value out of my purchase, it reduces stress, I get a sense of challenge out of it, and for the amount I spent I get a lot pf return.

  Now if only health care were free. That’s just a bullshit statement and not even worth responding to. That said, In its current state it’s the opposite of video games. It’s expensive. The amount you put in is often not what you get out. It’s stressful.

  Maybe the only way it’s like games is that someone can pull the plug on you when it’s not profitable anymore.

  Right? My first thought is that there’d be a long line of repressed Republican WASPs, officials and regular people, lined up for this place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A secret, never-mentioned fact is that the people who voted for Zohran are also taxpayers.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  We’re the taxpayers that want “free” health care while simultaneously paying taxes. The Right somehow thinks we’re too stupid to know we pay taxes that makes these things happen. Heck…we want people to have nice things.

  Meanwhile the Right doesn’t want to pay taxes yet somehow expects to get social services like paved roads or safe drinking water. I’d mention schools or health care but the republicans clearly DGAF about those things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How streaming changed the way you watch TV⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The joy of when that Big Screen movie that you never got to see finally comes to the TV. With ad breaks. You absolutely didn’t care about the ads because they were normal at the time. And you had to be there on time to watch it, and make sure nobody else in the house was going to try to watch something at the same time. While I appreciate the huge variety and the ability to binge some great series today, it’s still the same old shit even with all the streaming services: A lot of bad TV, lots of uninteresting TV, with a few bright spots and plenty of ads.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does America feel the need to control the world? Do what they say? Instead of taking care of their own problems at home? When did the US become police officer of the world and enforcer?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The citizens, in general, don’t. We want to do the same thing every other country’s people want - live our lives and hopefully give our kids a good or better one.

  I have no fucking clue what the government is doing to make these decisions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dear Leader⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They could be. But then they would be a dictator’s military - all about looks and shitty at everything else. The kind that gets conscripted to be thrown at enemy combatants as cannon fodder to die for the glory of their leader. The US military is a logistical fighting force, that’s what they’re good at. Not dressing up and goose-stepping polished and pretty for nationalistic display.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon likes trains⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Anybody who is making money off existing transportation is going to be against public transportation. Cab companies lobby against rail everywhere, from city to burbs or airport to downtown. Trucking, for obvious reasons. Passenger rail can carry cargo at night. And of course anybody selling fuel to the mass of cars, the petro industry.

  Yeah, it can sorta be a “boredom reliever” kind of thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people hate drinking water?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Living off flavored drinks and craving that sugar is stimulation you don’t get from plain water.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you have used this you are immune to all disease.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem with them is that it’s up to the owner of the facility to make sure they are removed and cleaned in a timely manner, not simply re-rolled dirty towel, and the machine was in good repair and didn’t jam.

  Quite often that wasn’t the case, so you’d wind up with dirty towel recycling or stuck.

  Yes, this absolutely contributed to the spread of disease. No way it couldn’t. I had a family member in the medical field and said that the reason we didn’t see them anymore much past the ‘80s is because they were unhygienic thanks to the aforementioned issues.

  So it’s not really the fault of the towel, it’s the fact that people are cheap bastards and don’t keep things serviced, clean, and maintained. It’s better to grumble and shake your hands dry rather than continue to use a jammed, soiled towel machine.
