There is a whole ‘nother reason that nobody understands, even though it’s basic geometry... With older headlights, they actually had 2 different filaments. The high beam was higher wattage and brighter. The low beam, besides being aimed lower, was lower wattage so wasn’t as bright. With the new lights, whether they…

Agreed. Traction is traction. It’s importance is no different in vehicles in the snow than it is in vehicles on dry pavement and the keys to better traction are the same... Tires. Weight. Center of gravity. The best snow vehicle is going to be the one with the best snow and ice rated tires on it. Tires are the best…

Yes, it’s just an ad, posing as... journalism. First time on the internet?

Which begs the question, why do “journalists” (cough cough) insist on including stock photos in every story? Exactly what is the point? When there is a story about a FedEx plane, do we really need a photo of a FedEx plane that wasn’t there and has nothing to do with the story? Because we don’t know what a FedEx plane…

Also... It’s a gym, not an internet lounge. Do not look at your phone, not even for a second, if you are sitting on or otherwise taking up space on a piece of equipment or station. You want to laugh at someone’s text? You want to text them back? You want to look through your music list, you want to look through your…

Yeah, I agree, if you are not sweating, if you aren’t leaving any sweat on the machine, then I’m probably not going to wipe it down. I don’t wear microscopically thin, stretched, spandex that sweats right through. Counting underwear (clean), I’m wearing 3 layers (also clean), and I’m not sweating through. And I…

I am always amazed at how people who live in large cities and work in an office environment think everyone works in large cities in an office environment. There were people at my house installing a new HVAC system this week. None of those people are “working from home”. None of the people in the warehouse where my…

Maybe someone who knows more can answer... Is there an automatic eject on this plane where the computer decides it’s a good time to eject?  Is there an automatic eject on any plane?

Yeah, I wondered about this... when I was about 10 years old.  Then figured out why with about 10 seconds of looking and thinking about it. It ain’t rocket surgery.

Looks like a 2:15 lap, not 2:17. But it obviously doesn’t matter anyway, because, fact checking, context... ehh.

I know your type... Can’t tell ‘em anything without multiple “I already knew that” or “Yeah, I know that” because you just can’t stand it if someone doesn’t know you know something. Shift turnover. I have a list of things that need to be turned over. They are important, and the kind of things that if I don’t tell you,…

150 miles per week... Assuming the battery is new. As it ages, it loses efficiency. Assuming the car is new, and clean, with no damaged body panels. Assuming the car is always parked in an open, shade free parking area where there are no buildings or trees. Assuming it’s not winter and you live in the northern half of…

Yes, it is interesting. Having spent a career working in the Nuclear and steam power plant field, watching that video of what it takes to get that thing running was fascinating... and a little cringe inducing knowing what happened. All that pressurizing of gas and pilot flames... whew. That seems like a fire or…

“Privacy and dignity of the passengers”.  LOL.  That horse left the barn a long time ago.

They’re more concerned with front to back balance and how it affects trim as opposed to side to side balance.

The increase in crime is affecting you personally? If you voted for democrats, this is what you voted for. You either new this, or if you didn’t, you weren’t paying attention. It was no secret. Many (most) democrat candidates said they wanted to reform bail laws so no-bail release is the norm, reduce criminal…

I’m not sure, but I wonder if they have proofreaders there.  Or editors.  Or a friend or co-worker who could look things over before you push send.  Or anyone who you work with who actually uses the product that you produce that has the ability to fix something.

Scientist have been having a hard time replicating the spread of monkey pox in the lab.  No matter what they do, they just can’t get those mice to fvck each other in the ass.

Since we’re talking about irritating phrases... My least favorite is “price point”. If ever you feel the need to write the word point after the word price, please realize that the sentence will be fine without the word point, and you won’t sound like an insufferable twit.
