I missed it if I ever read... Does the 2.7T GM 4-cyl have port and direct injection, or just direct? I know the 2nd generation ecoboost 2.7tt v6 in our 2018 F150 uses the ability to somewhat cool charge air and the valve-train with the port injection to shift combustion temps down and burn leaner at higher loads by…

This exact technology has been available for billboard-scale and wall-scale displays for years (since at least 2010). Its nice to see someone finally scale it down to home-scale. I mean all they’ve really done is taken the same discrete-emitter LED-matrix array blocks and shrunk down the emitters to a size that stands…

I used to travel for a living as an industrial automation service tech, and the worst, most boring, blandest and least internationally-influenced food I had was in Idaho. I made the mistake of going to a “Thai” restaurant... there was a big blurb in the front of the menu about how the owners had been so impressed with…

I really wish 2008 hadn’t forced my hand... My 1992 Alfa Romeo 164-s had just over 400K on it when I sold it. If I had had the resources to fix the rusty rear subframe and continue to own multiple cars maybe I could have gotten it to a million and earned a new Giulia...

The HY actually used a version of this engine into the 80's. Parts availability is not an issue.

you don’t directly “crap”on people for liking turkey, but your use of the phrase “Real Talk:” is generally interpreted as a kind of jab, as if you are saying “I know society says you have to like turkey, and you SAY you like turkey, but lets stop lying to each other about how much of a waste of time turkey really is…

But the main event meat? I’ve never found turkey satisfying, much less have it reach craveable heights. Even if you find the concept of Thanksgiving dinner delicious, its deliciousness is rarely attributed to the bird, rather, dinner in the aggregate.

I’m still pissed about Buel. I would have bought a Ulysses instead of a Fiesta ST if they had still been making the damn things when I could finally afford to own one. 

That last sentence is too real.

Suddenly I actually want to own a new Ferrari... That’s a change since about 2000.

Jesus Fucking Christ.

Had a ‘92 164-s, great car. Loved it. Very reliable. Not even joking about that, it was a highly dependable daily for many years. 

A friend of mine who used to own classic Landovers had a shirt that said "Lucas electrics; for a gentleman should not be motoring about after dark" 

My ‘92 164-S had over 400K miles on it when we parted ways due to irreconcilable rear subframe rust... it ranks in the top five most reliable cars I’ve ever owned. 

Many European plans include wide no-fee (or slightly limited) roaming areas through out the entire continent.

did you miss that those numbers *ARE* net? According to NASDAQ in 2017 Verizon posted 126 billion total revenue, 74.5 billion gross profit and *AFTER* accounting for operating expenses and a 9.9 billion tax refund (makes me gag) *NET*, thats NET, not gross, this is money left over after the bills are paid (admittedly,…

If I remember correctly Verizon’s Profit Margin hovers around 40%*. Fourty. Percent. There is no industry anywhere other than US medical suppliers that pulls down net profits like US Cell providers.

meh, PBR is fine. (as long it’s been kept cool) PBR on draft is almost good.

I’m exactly tasteless and nerdy enough to wear these.

soooo, the most important take away here is that the Ryzen 5 2600X is a screaming bargain...
