I have a husky, quit being concerned neighbor. They are bred to be sled dogs in up to -60 F weather. 

Hot take: chicken wings are actually terrible, and everyone who likes them is a pawn of the poultry industry’s attempt to market the boniest, gnarliest, hardest to eat part of the chicken as a (weirdly expensive) bite-sized party food.

My IDI 7.3 starts right up, does everything I want, runs on waste oil, waste vegatable oil, diesel, kerosene,fuel oil dosent care. Has no Injector driver module, PCM or $10,000 CP4 fuel system to fail. It's in an F-350 4x4 I paid $1200.00 for. I like common rail diesels also, but for me, IDI ftw.

They had their pluses. Generally less finicky and longer-lived. But not much power. I’ve owned a five-cylinder non-turbo Mercedes diesel, various Peugeot turbo and non-turbo diesels, and a VW TDI. The TDI is awesome, but costs a lot more to maintain than the old chuggers, and has lots more to go expensively wrong.…

Yeah but you could run those bad boys on anything. Used to run homemade bio through my roommates 1979 rabbit.

I actually think wings are annoying.  The one part is like a mini drumstick, and the other tip part hardly has any meat on it.  I much prefer strips or whatever.

Just moved back to my rural hometown from Seattle, and in two weeks I’ve needed a pickup more times than I did the whole two years in the city. Got lucky and was gifted a ‘94 1500 though.

Also, MODERN-modern diesels do NOT perform very well in the cold, due to the fact that DEF starts to freeze at 12F above zero! Fleet managers in the arctic have started abandoning them for this reason

Glow plugs have nothing to do with diesel gelling or not. The glow plugs warm the cylinders sufficiently that the compression ignition can take place. If the fuel gels in the fuel tank, filter, or lines, hot cylinders (from the glow plugs) aren’t going to help get the fuel to the cylinders where it could ignite. Many…

By this logic, anyone driving anything faster or sportier than a Corolla is living beyond their needs too.

I don’t get it either. Nobody “needs” a sports car, but somehow those aren’t hated on here. I’ve said it before 1000x, but my Viper is more wasteful by any calculation than my F350 is, but gets 1/100 of the hate.

I learned when I bought an S-10 in 1991:

The other day I went to Home Depot and took home 2 sheets of plywood, a butcher block counter top, two 25' rolls of insulation, 100 sqft of tile, a toilet and two sinks.  Not gonna get that done in an Escape.

I dunno, the “You’re going to hell, sinner” type billboards in the deep south are pretty bad.

Continuously Welded rail has to maintain the correct amount of stress depending on the average climate for the region. I believe in US the “preferred rail laying temperature” is 100°, but in Canada, due to the colder climate, it is 90°. This is calculated based to the region to prevent the track from buckling in the…

Actually came here hoping to find some technical explanation of this. Here in Montana everyone’s just like “yeah? And?” 

One plus side of living in a city that hits -40 at least once a winter is... I am already prepared for this and ready to go.

These aren’t children, they are adults who can use common sense. People who live in the Midwest (I’m one of them) know how to prepare for the cold and go out in it. You bundle up, get in your car go. I doubt the trek across the parking lot at the restaurant is going to kill anyone. The vast majority of people will be…

“Just call the police" is great advice if you're wealthy, white, and in a city.  For everyone else... Not so much.  You white privledge and class privledge are showing.

Is milkshaping kind of like butter sculpture?
