Anti- abortion activists have occasionally been able to dox women via bad people in the DMV. So something could happen, but this was all in person, not from jalopnik.com pictures of a Planned Parenthood parking lot.

Yeah, that seems weird to me too. I’m an A&P not a pilot, but I was taught to ALWAYS start and taxi a taildragger with the stick full back. Hard to believe you wouldn’t notice the lack of stick travel.

There’s Cara Gee in The Expanse as well.

144 spark plugs of glory to clean!

Is there anything that would keep a modern v8 from physically fitting in there?

Those Li-Ion fuckers are pretty flammable though. I bet you could torch a decent- sized kaiju with the battery pack from a Jaeger.

I think all home mechanics should have the legal right to call the factory and have them send one of the design engineers out to get your filter off, at factory expense.

Aircraft mechanic here. Light aircraft filters have a hex head on them so you can grab them with a real wrench. And we use this to stop the oil tsunami:  

In addition to dumping gas into your ear, this genius design can also unscrew itself in a high-vibration environment, and the bail can flip itself loose if you’re especially lucky. Source: I’m an airplane mechanic, and some crackhead at the FAA back in the ‘60s approved this design (with metal bowl) for aircraft. And…

And then there was this guy:

Only multiengine aircraft have feathering props, and anyway 150/152/172s have fixed-pitch props. With two or more engines, you REALLY need to be able to feather the dead engine, because the aircraft is already having a lot of trouble going straight without extra drag on that side.

New Jersey!

I definitely congratulate the Virginia Galactic engineers, etc who did this, but not Richard Branson who was a) a passenger, and b) stupid enough to ride a rocket. I mean, going up in a helicopter is stupid enough!

I mostly remember how luminous Lynn Collins was, and how Dominic West was doing his best to enjoy what was clearly a cinematic abortion.

The rear main seal is a scroll seal...

Dude, I’m in that age group and I’d rather remove my own hemorrhoid with an angle grinder than listen to Aerosmith.

Valves are for wussies anyway. Why use them when this far more elegant solution is available?

What the fuck did I just look at?

Yeah, if your first thought is “attack the black kid!” rather than “could you nice hotel desk people please call my phone,” you're racist trash.

I think two justified gripes about the early Corvair were 1) the front (only) roll bar being deleted to save money (of course there was never a rear roll bar, this being an ass-engined car), and 2) it was too easy for guys at the filing station to put equal pressure in the front and rear tires, taking away the safety…
