A minority of them are oil burners. Most oil burners have manual transmissions. There’s a yellow light on the dash that comes on if it gets a quart low.

Subaru used to define it as 1 qt per 1200 miles. Owners pointed out that at the 7500 mile standard oil change interval, and the 5.3 quart capacity, the car would run out of oil between changes at that rate. Subaru then amended their standard to 1/3 quart per 1200 miles.

We spanked you in NYC because we just kept giving the ball to our hotshot running back who’s now playing for the Packers.

Also may have had a thing or two to do with Lafayette being absolutely terrible this year (1-10 record). I was shocked that the game was as close as it was, frankly.

I thought the PT cruiser was awesome when it came out (I was 12). In 2003, when my father was replacing his 1991 Camry, I begged him to get a PT Cruiser (he ultimately ended up getting a 2002 Passat 4motion). Then, about a year later, my mom needed to replace her 1996 Taurus wagon. Once again, I begged for a PT…

Dat vacuuming

No more side window for the trunk?

This sure is a useless mirror!

I did process design work for ASUs and wrote specs for the equipment and instrumentation in the cold boxes for Airgas. Not sure who we used to ship them, though.

There’s only a handful of rigs in the country capable of carrying this sort of load. All of the axles on the trailer can be steered individually, and have their own electric motors to help maneuver through challenging situations. They can turn all the axles sideways and “swing” the trailer around, for instance. These…

I think the laser involved in this video was more akin to the ones used in meetings. Not that that makes it okay, of course.

At the end of the video, the cop on the ground seems to say that the laser is attached to an air gun (most likely an airsoft gun, but I guess it’s possible that it was a real BB gun).

There’s all sorts of different kinds of stainless steel. The kind that’s actually super rust-resistant is pretty soft, and not well suited for making tools out of. Tool-grade stainless steels will absolutely rust eventually, especially if you’re not taking good care of them.

I don’t think that was him, but I guess it may have been. Brother in law’s initials are A P, his brother’s initials are M P. Both are exceptionally bright— probably the two smartest people I know.

I have a brother-in-law who acquired “fuck you” money at a young age, due to his mathematical genius landing him some very high-paying jobs straight out of college. He retired after about ten years of work, and is now working as a professor at Harvard as a “hobby job” of sorts.

I think that your point with the top fuel dragsters really gets to the meat of the issue, since that sport is literally entirely about accelerating ludicrously quickly.

Nearly everything is made from alloys rather than pure metals, for similar reasons. Aluminum is almost always some alloy, and cast iron has more carbon in it than steel.

Lol— Probably about half of my “failure modes of materials” course consisted of watching/discussing youtube uploads of Mayday/Air Crash Investigations episodes.

Very few products use anything approaching pure aluminum, airplanes and trucks included. My bicycle is made of an alloy commonly used for aircraft, as is my computer’s case, and the F150’s bed.

I don’t have a gun.
