Funny thing about ‘low carb’ diets ... most “bad” carbs are found primarily in (relatively) highly processed foods. No more white bread (baked ground & bleached de-hulled wheat/grains). No bagels, no tortillas, certainly no cake or cookies, etc. etc. Just about any grain-based food that is heavily processed (ground &…

Yes. While they didn’t actually hypothesize it, it was theoretically possible to have hypothesized it. :-D

A new “state”, eh? So I grew up in an era when the only states of matter were solid, liquid, and gaseous. They now teach 4 states of matter in grade school ... the original 3 plus now “plasma”. So what exactly is this “new” state of matter? What’s it called? They didn’t bother to actually describe or name this “new…

In the Bay Area, “rush hour traffic” occurs effectively during all hours of daylight, plus another 4 to 6 hours before dawn and the same again after dusk.

I see an issue here ... neither cooking fires nor electrical fires react well to being sprayed with water. I’m pretty sure that’s why CO2 is preferred for manual home fire extinguishers.

I think a lot of the naysayers are missing the point ... which is that nobody is saying that restarting production can happen overnight. Nobody with more intelligence than a rutabega would say that. But saying it takes time and money is not the same thing as saying it can’t be done. It can be done. It takes willpower,…

Yes yes yes ... the final assembly is only a minuscule part. I’m not talking about just “final assembly” ... I’m talking about every step of manufacture for every last component.

Personally I just wish people wouldn’t refer to snow/ice tires as “winter” tires. We have winter in California, but swapping out tires on a seasonal basis is an utter waste of time, effort and money unless you live and drive only in the mountains.

Not a good analogy. Automakers can totally replace a line and build out an entirely new car from clean sheet design in 3 years or less. You don’t think they can flip that beotch around and re-do an old car in even less time? I assure that blue prints are there, and the industrial know-how is there ... even if Jack’s…

I would honestly doubt that the entirety of the documentation (including videos) is anything nearly as shallow as you think.

Learning hand signals (left arm straight out the window for ‘turning left’, out the window & bent 90 degrees up for ‘turning right’ and 90 degrees down for ‘stopping’) was required in California when I first got my driver’s license back in the 80's. Do they still teach that stuff?

I had no idea they soldiered on until the 80's.

I thought the originals were supposed to be flight suits?

This! I am pedantic (no use denying it) and get riled up by people who regularly use redundant terms and phrases. Chai tea is one. Another is more ahem, politically sensitive ... “Sharia law” (or worse, Islamic Sharia Law) ... because “Sharia” means “Islamic Law” ... so saying ‘Islamic Sharia Law’ one is actually…

I don’t see how these uniforms are any worse than the originals ... they were originally just generic worker overalls with a couple patches and added belts ... and now we have uniforms today that appear to be common generic overalls with patches and added belts. Yes, even stripes and cargo pockets are fairly common on…

Nah, you’re first impression was correct. Any user name with an appending digit is not particularly respectable ... it usually just means that that someone else had already taken their desired label without the appending digit(s) so they rather unimaginatively just stuck one or more digits on the end so they could get…

The bike in the ad is an R1150R not an RT ... there’s a hundred pounds of fairing and about 5 thousand dollars difference between the two.

What I wanna know is, how did Mercedes not get sued to hell and back by Mazda? I’m pretty sure they (Mazda) still hold a trademark on GLC. Even when cars are long out of production, most automakers protect their old trademarks with an iron fist ... recall the hubbub about Ford threatening to sue Tesla if they named…

Food doesn’t make people fat, lack of exercise does.

If you can’t identify the source, you can’t eliminate the problem. Washing everything helps but not as much as figuring out where the source of contamination is and eliminating it.
