Heater cores are just additional engine radiators. Running cool air over them pulls heat from the system just the same, which is why this technique can be used to help an engine that is borderline (but won’t save an engine that’s already fubar).

Same with gas cars. In Fairbanks Alaska, there are 120v plugs all over the dang place and people drive around with extension cords hanging out of their hood and wrapped around the side mirror. They plug in all over town to run electric engine block heaters. Which is pretty funny because that means there’s already a…

I vaguely recall being a kid in the 90s and my dad had to run the heat in his pickup truck on really hot days because otherwise the engine would overheat!

Revenge porn aside, it will never not be hilarious how much they are obsessed with Hunter Biden’s hog.

What happens to ICEs at extremely high temps?

$12 won’t buy shit food wise for a 33 hour stay, a beverage (not even the adult kind) or two and a snack and that is it. They got more than I did when got stuck but nowhere near enough for that delay.

ICE car took 70 years to finally get to a point were they work fine in extreme temperatures.

They held up New York vacation travelers for a day and a half in the old part of JFK? That $12 meal allowance and a $1000 flight credit isn’t about to cover it.

This is quickly veering into Fatal Attraction territory. Let's hope we don't hear about Hunter Biden’s pet ending up in a crock pot.

Don’t worry, the “party of law and order” will quickly excuse this complete violation of several laws with something that amounts to “its ok when WE do it”.

How much did that jury award Hulk Hogan?  (Also, if you’re under 18 and are on Marjorie Taylor-Greene’s mailing list, you are dangerously close to being a lost cause, my goodness).

What a titanic abuse of official power and of precious government resources.

I dont HATE it, but I dont like it anywhere near enough for the asking price.  Cut it in half and I’d rock it.

I play - thanks to my wife who is borderline obsessed now that she’s retired - and I get that. I wouldn’t want to either. It IS loud. Much louder than tennis, or baseball or any other sport that might exist in a neighbourhood greenspace.

Seriously. Our HOA experimented with allowing it at our tennis courts and the people who live around them finally threatened to sue because it was so noisy. Like, there was a sustained noise level above the legal nuisance standard for 12+ hours a day. The HOA then banned it, and the pickleball nuts are all screaming…

Because its basically giant ping pong. Way more accessible to newcomers and people with diminished athleticism than tennis.

Some of the most cringe-worthy people I know are obsessed with pickle ball. It the new squash/handball.

The C&Cs around me always seem to appreciate the weird stuff...anything to break up the rows and rows of Chargers and Challengers and Camaros with the same bolt-on accessories and American flag stickers.

Does it look that much better than a 1998 4Runner?

Our homeowners’ insurance crisis has been getting worse for years now. I paid my insurance premiums on one of my properties for over a decade, zero claims. Two years ago they jumped my rate by 50%. Last year they cancelled the policy outright. Others I know have seen their rates double or triple, or been forced to…
