You also forgot to mention Apple - a company who does all its “manufacturing” (they don’t actually manufacture it - they outsource it) to China... so the jobs are going even further away.

The first article talks about using a nanogalvanic aluminum powder. Basically, they are generating an oxidizing reaction (common to aluminum) to break off the hydrogen. This is not novel, in itself... and the implication is that the aluminum is being converted and being “used up” in the process. While they are able to…

I would be thrilled if these two idiots flew on a new Hindenburg. I think this time it would end quite well.

3700+ lbs?! Holy crap!

Liquid explosives. Got it. I guess there are no solid explosives out there to worry about, then?

Looking to buy a convertible, myself. I have always loved GM and their older cars, but now that I have a Caddy ATS with its awful CUE system, and it’s total lack of customer service, I’m afraid to buy any other GM. I hear that Chevy has a different customer service system, so maybe that’s better... but do I really…

I took a welding class at my local voke school a while ago, and it provided a lot of good training and info. It wasn’t expensive, either. I highly recommend seeing if you can do that, so you can learn the right techniques quickly and easily. Youtube is nice, but it’s better to have an instructor watch you and provide…

It IS relatively simple: Stop eating too much garbage food (moderation!). And stop looking for quick fixes (cleanses, diets, etc).

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, this can be turned off... at least the steering part. I have disabled it on my RAV4 for this very reason. It still beeps, but it doesn’t turn the wheel. I think you can do that from the radio or from the steering-wheel buttons which control the middle screen on the speedo-console.

Totally agree. What bothers me is that they call this a “safety” feature. However, when the car in the lane near you starts drifting into your lane, and you try to avoid it, this “safety” feature sees the line on the road and then pulls you back into the car you’re trying to avoid. Yeesh. I really hate these Toyotas…

Someone had posted a good read at one point about how you CAN use QOS to help reduce your network load (and improve WAN performance). Basically, it comes down to the fact that the WAN won’t send you data unless you ask for it, so instead of just shoveling requests out there and then getting “too much” data coming…

My 8 year old 17" HP Pavilion G7 AMD A8 as $400 when I bought it. I have since used it for Solidworks and FreeCAD design, data recovery of dying hard drives, and daily usage for the web. Hardly a piece of “garbage”. Are there faster machines out there, sure... but for basic web browsing and stuff, this is FAR more…

Is saddens me to see the “cheap” options are always shown as Chromebooks with subpar CPUs. Just looking around right now, I can find many laptops <$500 with real CPUs and Windows. Why do these articles always focus on Chromebooks? Sure, if you want a Chromebook, then go ahead... but if you’re spending more than about…

I ran into the same situation when I bought my 2006 Subaru Legacy GT (back in 2006). I wanted a blue one with manual trans, but couldn’t seem to find one (they were redesigned in 2005, so I was aiming for that... not a lot of options with only 1 year to work with). Longer story short, best I could find was a 2005 with…

Wow, I didn’t realize “Camry Dent” was a thing. Too funny. I can attest that my company car was a Camry and I did NOT contribute to the statistics there (because I can drive well). Of course, a coworker has a Camry in our lot, and he has a Camry Dent. Too funny!

I figured Macrium should be able to do that... thanks for letting us know it can!

I’m thinking you could decrease your partition size first (make it like 105GB or something) and then copy that partition over (since it’s now smaller than the SSD). I had used Acronis in the old days when it was good for this, and it worked great. You may need to use Paragon to do this now... and it may not be free? I…

As others have said, skip the AWD and buy the right tires. Fact is, Toyota AWD on their cars (and SUVs) is a joke. It’s not that effective and is mostly a gimmick anyway. If you want real AWD, stick to trucks or Subarus or Audis... most of the others are open differential systems which just brake the wheel that’s…
