CFL’s are great, if you like to wait 5 minutes for your lights to warm up. Personally, I like the lights to come on when I flip the switch.

I think you missed a few conditions that can cause your LED’s to fail early. Here are a few more conditions that contribute to LED’s not lasting as long as incandescent bulbs:

I don’t mind the sandwich, it is the side of hate and intolerance that the corporation serves with every meal that prevents me from giving them money.

What I like best about this opening scene is that it puts the Joker’s actions into sharp contrast with his words. Later in the film he claims that he is just making chaos:

Not sure you can call this guy an “innocent bystander” he had his hand all they way up under her skirt. This was clearly a case of self defense.

Pretty sure it is not archaic. There have been several high profile accidents in various cities where the driver of a train without PTC was incapacitated or distracted and the train crashed. If you are going to have human operators, you need a backup system. In most cases the safest thing to do is stop. Even with a…

I believe the current definition of a “mass casualty” event is 4. So yeah, I think an average person could. It has been done with a knife.

“What fresh Hell is this?”

Ok, there is a lot to parse with “Fastest Car”. Lets start right there. The show has nothing to do with finding the fastest car. It seems to be primary a drag racing show about running a bunch of 10 second cars against one another.

No. The origin of the name is somewhat unclear. Some claim it was the sight of a particularly viscous battle between early settlers and Indians. Others claim it is only a reference to the deep shady woods native to the area. No one seems to really have any evidence of what the real origin is. You might as well ask…

There is also a “Shades” state park. Shortened from the original “Shades of Death”. True story.

While I do prefer the earlier small bumper cars, at this price I can overlook a minor thing like that. And just for the record, Indiana is weird. North Vernon is down south, South Bend is up north, Pleasant View isn’t and French Lick is not nearly as much fun as it sounds.

First off, I mostly agree it is a Meh car. But for a daily driver, in snow and ice country, for someone who is not an enthusiast? It is actually pretty good. My wife bought a 2015 a couple years ago and has been very happy with it. 0 mechanical issues. Decent gas mileage (especially for an AWD car). Goes great in snow…

CP: It has a turbo....that doesn’t seem to be connected to the intake?

The 747 actually has two such areas. One up front for the pilots and one in in the tail for the cabin crew.

Looking at that exposed crankshaft makes me wonder why didn’t you do mains and big end bearings while you had the pan off. While you are in there....

Watch closer, on a better monitor. You can clearly see the lights for the bikers traffic turn green before anyone starts rolling. The Camaro just ran a red, simple as that.

There is nothing wrong with a crew cab. As long as it sits in front of an 8' bed wide enough for a 4x8 sheet of ply to lay flat. A standard cab with a 6' bed is just as useless as a crew cab with a 6' bed.

I think I did a pretty good job. I provided the statistic, and the source. When confronted about methodology, I amended my figures to match the assertion made by the person who objected. I was able to show that my original assertion, that the vast majority of guns are NOT involved in any injury or death and the vast…

OK, lets continue with the discussion, again, using only what we can prove. I can’t be swayed by anecdotal evidence of near misses and the assumption that there are massive numbers of unreported incidents. Lets go with your number of 25% of the population of the us owning guns. Again we will take the conservative…
