Yep. I just realized I was at probably 16 months on the last Honda Insight oil change...and the minder still hadn’t gone off yet.

Buffalo winters say hi

I still remember an early 80s boy scout trip and climbing into the trunk of Volvo 240 sedan to pack it. Damned cavernous. Also I was a wee bit smaller

Or more importantly, you generally weren’t going 200,000.  So a 3,500 odometer on a 7 yr old car was obviously 103,500!

I’d caveat that pandemic allowed significantly less use of vehicles so it was in some cases almost a literal pause.

EV’s are going to make it even longer. Less important stuff to break and the important stuff they do have is plug n play replaceable (almost).

Up front ask for separate checks.

‘contingency plans’ reminds of The Who story

When a guy who was a *heavy* drug user and has OD’d significantly in the past, says he’s at the limit...you know what that ‘limit’ entails. If you don’t immediately give him support and space, sorry you’re part of the blame territory.

Lots of really high pressure jobs are like that.

It’s a Boeing so that’s fair, but doesn’t Airbus software tend to default to not letting the pilots do something stupid...even if stupid fast dive would be the correct course of action for a given scenario.

Potentially taking a bullet is literally part of the job description.

This same ‘good guys’ also aren’t telling on their ‘bad apples’. If they truly wanted the force respected, they’d work triple time to expel those bad apples.

reminds me of an old Steven Wright bit:

Also known as Survivor Bias ;-) mostly kidding.

yeah I wish someone had used their cars, it was moving slow enough that wasn’t going to be much if any damage

sure they do. $10

One thing I learned from a video is it needs to be secured somewhere within reach of your driving position.

I’m a northern native, anything about 72 is generally too hot for me. But we did a family reunion/vacation in an unairconditioned cabin for a week in 90+ and when we came home decided to try and not re-acclimate as much.

oh dear lord my old eyes. I read that at 1 point 529 ICE fires per 100,000
