Yeah, my thoughts were that he maybe has his sights set a bit too high and expected that his friends were attempting to lower his sights a bit but... nope, they’re just arseholes.

Too many syllables.

“I have all the best building fires!”

I’m not going to gloat over this, especially as people have been injured, but I bet the conspiracy theories about it will be fucking hilarious.

The controls are different, though. The clutch on the left, brake in the middle and accelerator on the right layout didn’t get standardised until the 30s or 40s. Saying that, there’s fewer driving controls on modern cars, I don’t know if they’d automated it by 1909 but early cars had manual ignition advance.

All your Europeans have burned it down and rebooted, in some cases multiple times, since our founding.

Capitalism makes great toys.

Wouldn’t it need to have sand and aggregate in it to count as concrete?

I think a lot of that is cos dog boxes have fewer parts so they’re cheaper to make and you can integrate the dogs (the teeth that do the gear engagement) into the gears themselves to further reduce your parts count (vs. the gearbox in the vid) and reduce the length of the gear shafts, since size is more of an issue on…

Does it still use rods for the gearchange linkage? Loads of cars use cables these days, they’re a bit vague.

600cc Bandits and their whine from every single gear except, for some reason, the pair driving the generator.

98% of the time that approach works but I hired teh pr0s to replace my garage roof and there’s definitely a couple of bits I could’ve done better myself, like applying enough resin to the fiberglass so it doesn’t form pinhole leaks.

Ah, I missed the bit where they looked at the head. That’s settled, then.

Now imagine this but with guns instead of bikes and you have Sons of Guns. That show got cancelled after the guy who ran the shop (which turned out to be operating as a subsidiary of another shop cos he’d lost his firearms dealer licence) got arrested and then locked up for sexually abusing his daughter, just not the…

I weld for 2hours while he stands around waiting for me.

He didn’t actually make a piston, he’s just cast cement into the cylinder. What I want to know is how he did that without jamming the valves.

Single overhead cam engines with 3+ valves per cyl. still use rockers or followers depending on the design. Bit hard to tell whether this headless engine was SOHC of DOHC, lol.

I was genuinely surprised that it wasn’t a 10 gallon hat.

I live with a car that I once clocked at 17s so I could live with the performance that this has. Couldn’t live with the lack of a hatchback, though.

Having been raised a Catholic I’m aware that the Church’s stance is that the sanctity of life is more important than quality of life; it really is preferential to them to prolong people’s suffering. Obviously, actual Catholics take a similar approach to this as they do to contraception.
