Had a friend who offroaded with a motorcycle and sidecar combo. Got so sick of spaces being tighter than he could squeeze through, he added a couple laser pointers as indicators to see if he could squeeze through the space before he approached.

Now you can understand why some parts of the world have the phrase “It takes three Russians to find two Russian brain cells to rub together”.

Someone needs to pull her aside and explain how every time she opens her mouth regarding the Harry Potter franchise, she’s simply adding more fuel to the “she stole the work of others when she was employed as an abysmal excuse for an editor and published it as her own” as she constantly demonstrates she is by no…

Also... “If you’re going to die, may as well look good doing it.” They’re on a warship and her job is to think and give orders. So she seems to be suitably dressed for the task.

Just chalk it up to “even if she is playing a human, it must be a cultural quirk of her character’s planet.” People forget, Star Wars is a universe of planets inhabits for centuries if not millennia. Being “human” means little more than a rather high rate of genetic compatibility with others considered “human” when…

That woman is an idiot. If you can make shit disappear in the snap of a finger, you would never, ever adopt plumbing of any sort for that purpose. They’d still be taking a dump on the floor.

Why should the USPS make a profit? Because it isn’t normally funded by the US Government (though there have been a few bailouts in the past, much as there were for Conrail and Amtrak). Also, the USPS has made profit repeatedly in the past few decades, only to see it essentially be stolen by the US government. The last…

The best F&F movies were pre-Paul Walker.

“I always throw of few wheels in-between the vehicle and myself”

You’ll have to wait for they guy with the hydraulic press to do a video of his press crushing ramps before you can have an answer. :P

Fabricate a block that attaches to the lifting plate that would normally be positioned under the vehicle frame for lifting. You can easily add a few inches to the lifting height. Just fab it out of metal, rather than the usual absurd “throw chunk of a 4x4 post on there” technique I’ve usually seen.

If there is one thing this guy could do to improve his offerings, it would be multiple tests on the same type of jack to determine if they have a tendency to fail in the same manner.

Ah... See, reading the article sometimes helps make the photos make sense. The Nabisco box in the garage is so transmission parts can be smuggled into the kitchen for the J10 transmission rebuild. Because once the parts are in the kitchen, you can claim they are for an kitchen appliance repair project. :D

The real problem is things like this need to become quite widespread before they are truly effective, which would have required all car manufacturers to adopt the coating and apply it to all the vehicles they offered. Just imagine if this stuff was on every radiator manufactured since 1998... On every car, SUV,…

LOL. Living in the only state that still requires gas station attendants to fuel your vehicle, I can’t help but wonder how exactly NJ will handle recharging electric vehicles, seeing a number of Wawas near the highways are adding banks of charging points for motor vehicles to go with the gas pumps.

Volvo won me over at “go to a dealership and see and test drive the car before you buy” vs. Tesla’s model of “glorified office space to place a mail order via the internet” that is used here in NJ. Also, Volvo dealerships have their own service centers and competent spares network, whereas most of Tesla’s servicing is…

Howdy, neighbor! Just beware! NJ apparently has rules allowing any neighborhood to form an HOA at any time. A bunch of South Philly yahoos moved into my neighborhood (all within a few properties of me on the same block of the street) and attempted to start an HOA about a decade or so ago. They managed to get one other…

Not likely. How many driveways have you encountered rated to support 33 to 41 tons of weight?

It isn’t about blocking traffic. It is about a 30+ ton vehicle parked on a residential road with a surfacing material rated to support less than 1/3 of that. That tank is a very expensive sinkhole waiting to happen AND the HOA is typically responsible for infrastructure repairs in the neighborhood under its oversight.…

It just occurred to me... This guy and others like him must be the reason why people keep getting triggered to become highway snipers in the Phoenix area...
