Generalize much?

So you don't feel that running engine oil through the heat of the turbos can compromise lubrication compared to normally aspirated applications? I just think that a component that runs in the 100K rpm range and gets hot enough to glow red and shares a circulatory system with the engine's essential lubrication fluid…

I do think the boost makes internal engines run temps higher and that hurts reliability

less than what, 70 years from the time the Wright Bros made their first flight to the time we had a human walking on the moon?

I loved mine. A 95 DX. I loved the way the rear door swung down and the rear window swung up.

My wife's 2006 Mercedes S class. It is built on systems so proprietary that it cannot be upgraded at all. I wanted a simple way to plug in an Ipod into the stereo system. The car doesn't have an "aux" plug. Ok, well, let's figure out where we could splice some rca inputs? Nope. Everything is digital fiberoptics…

Generally, when it comes to tools, keeping tools with tools makes it a lot less likely that it will get lost. Some other small things however - rolls of scotch tape, glue sticks - seem to always get lost. I take them out of a drawer, use it, then fail to put it away. The next time I need tape, I'm not sure where…

It's easy to armchair quarterback by looking at the situation in a video window.

I saw it as a homelessness and poverty issue

The problem with that kind of prosecutorial argument is that it totally ignores the fact that most cases end in plea bargains because cases in the US end up with 95%+ conviction rates.

it works a lot like the stock market where quantifying risk becomes a greater force than artistic innovation. Even the directors themselves become victims of getting pigeonholed into having to repeat a feel/style from their previous works rather than exploring new frontiers. Remember, directors only tell actors how…

It's like saying Empire Strikes Back isn't really a George Lucas original.

it doesn't have to be a novel idea. it could be a story about "teenagers coming to age" (how much more generic can we get?) but if the evidence can prove that the movie version was directly linked to a written source that was never compensated, that's where the highly paid lawyers can earn their pay.

I wrote a snarky comment on the web in 1998 about being flung out into space in a spacesuit. What are my chances?

I found the Stanford Prisoner experiment to reveal the reverse of this progression from espousing higher stages of morality toward a more rudimentary one whereby individualized people given a role of authority became corrupt over a very short period of time and de-humanized fellow students playing prisoner roles and…

wait, so they actually put up an advertisement for free and treated it like a work of art or newsworthy story?

no, it doesn't fit when I wear my fedora

yeah there's no mention of "Sponsored" here. This is pure unadulterated greedy bullshit along the level of adware insertion.

The Lexus reliability reputation was earned in the 90s but the facts show that the 00s models became a lot more troublesome and unreliable. The LS400 of the 90s was very reliable. The subsequent LS460 had a lot of issues with the drivetrain.

back when Wolvie's claws looked more cone-shaped than bladed. I always asked myself how he could "slice" with basically curved spikes.
