Caravan that I’d just jammed a 5 speed into

I’ll have to give that a try. I have a decent scanner.

My Fusion has actual sensors, but it still won’t tell me what the pressures are, just if one is low. It won’t even tell me which one! One of my few gripes about that car, which I actually like a lot.

Illinois has a new digital ID law going into effect on January 1st. They’ve taken this into account, at least. The text of the law includes, “Provides that the display of a mobile identification card and driver’s license shall not serve as consent or authorization for a law enforcement officer, or any other person, to…

It seems possible. My SRT-4 had 2 miles on it when I first test drove it. Still driving it today, 21 years and 250K miles later!

I was thinking that. As I understand it, my daughter’s Yaris sedan is essentially a Mazda 2.

I took minocycline for a very long time for rosacea, and it helped a lot. To the point that all the redness went away--and my forehead was quite red at the beginning. I’m currently not taking minocycline, and so far I’m doing well. I’m much fitter and eat a more healthy diet than I did when I first started treatment…

I always thought the one thing that could have made the male clones work is if they got Enver Gjokaj to play them. He would have been the perfect actor to pull it off, since he’d already essentially shown the ability to do it in Dollhouse.

I don’t know, but it’s a good question. It’s been said that it’s contractual issues, and that Apple has simply strong-armed the carriers into maintaining complete control over the update process, whereas the other manufacturers have not. I’m sure Apple has a great deal of influence over the carriers, since by one…

It’s almost entirely a carrier issue. Google makes the OTA updates available immediately at https://developers.google.com/android/ota (or also the full images at another link) if you want to install them using the adb utility from your computer. I’m on Fi, but I update manually using full images as soon as I can after …

Don’t forget the quiet one in the background who is possibly the most dangerous: Stephen Miller.

At almost 250K I am, of course, on my 3rd clutch, and I had to replace a shift fork at about 65K. I’ve replaced cam and crank seals and a couple of sensors, etc., but that’s almost just maintenance with this many miles. No other major drivetrain issues, even with running Stage 2 w/toys and a BWS turbo for years now. I…

Well, now we know who hacked Club Penguin!

That’s probably about the limit for a stock SRT-4 because of wind resistance. With a “boost” from Dodge’s Stage 2 or Stage 3 upgrade kits, it has enough power to get to its theoretical top speed of 177. There’s another post here today about 0-60 times not solely being a sign of a fun car. I bought my SRT-4 new in…

I’ve been to 146 in my SRT-4 on track, and you’re correct, it is pretty terrifying. It has no trouble at all getting to that speed (top speed is actually 177 at redline in 5th gear), but wow did it start to feel...light...at 146.

We sent Martha Stewart to prison for, what, $30K in insider trading? Shame we can’t put TFG away similarly in proportion to his crimes.

Highlight what you want to italicize and either hit Ctrl/Cmd+I or pull down the formatting bar by clicking the “Aa” at the top right, and click the “I” between “B” and “S”. (It looks like a slash, but it’s a capital “I”.)

It’s being worked on. https://www.npr.org/2023/10/05/1200788439/wind-power-cargo-ships-carbon-emissions

This is beside the main point, but it should be noted that it’s not really true that fructose is particularly bad for you. Most of the sugar we eat is made of fructose and glucose, whether it’s in fruits and vegetables, table sugar from cane or beets, or HFCS. Table sugar is 50/50, and HFCS is usually closer to 55/45,…

I’m waaay downstate. I did once tell someone who asked if I was from Chicago that I was from the south side of Chicago...300 miles south! I think fully two-thirds of the IL population does live within an hour of downtown Chicago, so it’s a reasonable guess for somebody to make. (Love your user name, BTW.)
