Government will never solve a cultural problem.

I mean, to be fair: why would you know basically any of these people existed?

Government will never solve a cultural problem. That said, by assuming the negative cultures are a consequence of the skin color and sex of a given demographic, you’ve just contributed to perpetuating a culture of systemic discrimination and judgment.

Regarding the original title, “Game industry women need you to stop defining them by their trauma”, this is something that’s universal, whether you’re taking about black people, native Americans, domestic and child abuse victims, and so on. We are NOT our trauma. Trauma is the consequences of bad shit we survived, and…

GM fucked Saturn up by trying to “leverage” the name and the brand loyalty into more upscale cars. The thing is that those of us that bought those early GREAT ones either wanted those again or moved on to something else. I didn’t want a Saturn SUV or “nice” Sedan or a 2 seat convertible. There are people in the world…

I had a 1993 SL1. Basic as hell. Crank Windows. 4 Speed. Not a single repair needed the whole time I had it. Fun to drive. Not even so much as a squeak. Best car I ever owned. Also had a 1998 (or so) Wagon. 2nd best car I ever owned. If they revived that and made THOSE basic, well made, inexpensive cars again, they…

Seems like you missed the most important part, the private firms doing the study and the final “high” bidder (whose bid is only the highest on paper through the magic of creative accounting!) are all buddies with members of city council

Well, if I was the current mayor who inherited this pile of shit I’d also do what I could to pawn it off on the next guy. It’s a lose-lose no matter what.

Drunk EV to station attendant “do you carry 1/2 mile long charging cables?”

I guess all the extra BILLIONS for stuff funding other “infrastructure” like illegals is so they can actually do the work for the real infrastructure! See it is all how you look at it!

Why single out capitalism?  The Soviet Union and China are some of the top polluters to this day.  Seems more like a humanity problem.

1. Brass doesn’t warp

A radiator fitting sees 4-8 times as much pressure as this battery coolant line and experiences temperatures at least twice as high. Also there are different types of plastic. Some take heat and hold threads just fine up to a certain point. But this is a much less stressed part than a radiator fitting despite the…

The part that cracked before was the nipple, which now has a brass core.  Likelihood of it breaking before the plastic just cracks from age is pretty small.

Depends on the plastic, if it’s polycarbonate based then it can hold threads very well if the plastic is ductile. And since it is threaded, differential expansion isn’t as much of a big deal in this case, unless the tapping was done so incorrectly that it introduces tons of hoop stress.

It cracked because it got slammed into by road debris. That is a whole lot beefier bit of plastic than what you will find in a typical radiator end tank. It’s going to be just fine for a LOOONG time. Probably longer than if it had never been repaired. 

Nah, I really don’t think so. There’s not enough temperature differential to cause a major dimensional change, and any sealing material they use should take up the 1 or 2 mils of dimensional variation that might occur.

How is this janky? This fix is less likely to break than the original design.

We know, Torch. We know.
