Having said all that... That's why new engines are usually not rebuilt by mechanics today. Very complicated, scored cylinder walls in aluminum blocks, reprogramming, etc. So, they drop in a rebuilt motor by somebody like Jasper or Rhino, or they just get a crate motor. Either way, it's an expensive proposition...

While I know this image is cool, I saw this very sight yesterday a number of times as my kids shined a flashlight in my face.

Texas. Mail -in votes now require ID. About 1 in 6 last primary election had no ID at all and were rejected. Sounds like a voter education issue to me.

@Jolly She doesnt have to. But then, she doesnt have to go to the fundraiser. Same when President Trump (or any other politician has a fundraiser) (As I said above, I dont know the background to the story, so dont know if it was a true fundraiser, or people were surprised when they showed up at the door that there was a "cover charge" ) (https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-mar-a-lago-super-pac-fundraiser-charges-250000-2022-2?op=1)

@George-K said in Geothermal FTW?: "Let's drill 12 miles through the Earth's crust to harvest energy. What could possibly go wrong?" We know exactly what it would look like. So we should be able to plan a safe harvest. [image: 1647481032461-c103b87c-d2ad-4b05-a716-8f09e9e0e877-image.png]

@taiwan_girl said in Trump fills, Biden empties: @Jolly Okay, but when should it be used? What would be considered a "strategic" time? It was intended as a release valve for shortages caused by embargoes or other National-security related emergencies, IOW situations like this. The controversial uses have been during relative peace with gas prices just high. Presidents of both parties have used it for that, with the support of their own party and complaints from the other.

Cute!

I would be very wary of the proposal. The Russians are looking for much bigger concessions out of both Ukraine and the West. I would take it as a diplomatic feint. A distraction.

Heresy! https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2022/03/15/orthodox-christian-unity-broken-by-russian-world-heresy-a76922

It's all hunky dory until it's your car being smeared with feces or a business you own being shoplifted out of existence.

Yes, Generalissimo Putin is just going to have to govern his actions from here forward.

Y'know, it kind of sheds light on why he picked her. Her gaffes are worse than his.

It's hard to say. They might be great. I could see where the end of the Ben era would be good for morale. He likely sucked a lot of the oxygen out of the room.

Kill 'em. Immediately.

Just another gutless wonder left wing sissy trying to prove he has some balls left.
