First, that sucks. Missed the part where you mentioned the broken wrist. Sorry someone did that to you.

My dad said similar about 4wd. 4wd is great for getting you further into the ditch. For 30+ years he drove various rwd wagons and sedans 30+ miles through rural Minnesota in almost all weather to get to work on the railroad. I don’t ever remember him ending up stuck or in the ditch either.

Reminds me of this video I saw back in college (10 ish years ago) which led to me also rescuing a “nobody’s” bike that had been abandoned near the main bus stop, rear wheel taco’d after being clipped by a snow plow. Granted, mine was some cheap-o, no-name, steel framed road bike, not nearly as cool as this one.

I grew up near a tiny marina. My sister and I would walk to it during the summer and hang out. There was an ancient woman in the area that had a giant boat in the front yard that we walked by to the marine. The Boat looked exactly like the Minnow (picture below), including the giant hole.

For a minute there I thought it was a new Lexus

Oh boy are you about to be disappointed. Not only have I now written about counterweights, but I’ve also written about blue anodized wheel cylinders:

Crystal meth is a hell of a drug. Used to be cocaine but Rick James should have tried some ice and seen what happened. Probably more torture victims, unfortunately.

The interwebs indicates some are down in the 30 second range, but most are 35-40ish, with gearing being a big factor.

I saw this in a movie about a bus that had to speed around the city, keeping its speed over fifty, and if its speed dropped, the bus would explode. I think it was called “The Bus That Couldn’t Slow Down.”

I guess I’m most impressed that the video is still on YouTube. 

Nascar has never been a huge fan of Live Streaming.

Woh woh woh! Don’t hate on the Jeeps!

You’ve gone full Tracy, never go full Tracy.

Anecdotally speaking, my experience is nothing like what you’re saying here. My current tankless is 8 years old and I’ve had it maintained exactly one time (I have a water softener, so I’m not getting that scaly buildup), and I’ve never once had to have it serviced.

Run, Shadowfax. Show us the meaning of paste

Oh, I’m firing up my keyboard all right. But not to lambast you or anyone else about being enthusiastic about a Prius, but rather to take to task anyone that dares try to do that.

Just FYI, it works perfectly fine with US library rentals (ours uses the Libby app). What app do Canadian libraries use?

They are claiming 10 hours.
