Not dually or HD, alas. Sierra 1500 Duramax 3.0L turbodiesel for towing in the nosebleed seats (:: CO). (Tried to put a receiver hitch on a Cayman:eek: but mechanic just laughed at me.;))

If/When you’re ready, if cameras are your trump card, look at GMC. For the moment at least, they are killing it. My new one has 7 cameras, and a port on the bumper for a trailer cam, located either...

I donÂ’t drive F1 cars, so will leave the octane debate to those that do…:cool:.

I do know a bit about the distribution infrastructure that may surprise some…. 10 or 6 refineries (say in Corpus...

Quite an onion here...
Mr. Yetka is correct: there are water and sediment traps, plus fines filters in many cases, on every fuel delivery system I've ever seen. On-site maintenance of those devices...

Totality passes over the Texas Hill Country as well, but predictions of cloud cover have seemingly dampened the also-predicted influx of insanity.

I passed thru the Hill Country on Sat/Sun from...

Have not read all of these, but SO cord is fine for wiring: 2 cond +gnd for the supply to the VFD; 3-cond +gnd from VFD to motor. Be careful of enclosures. The VFD needs air flow to cool. If...

Material? (looks to be cherry rails?) How many braces and how often will it get knocked-down & moved? 1 or 2 braces are probably sufficient to last forever if the settle is never moved (Ikea is only...

Assuming a vertical z-axis, I'd agree that in the x-z and y-z directions this is positively tank-like. But the x-y axis, with that 8' lever arm, will fold like a cheap suit (pardon my cheap...

I assume when you say 'cross bracing' you are trying to prevent racking. Triangles are your friend.

So how about a 'X' brace? A pair of 'slats' with a cross-lap joint in the middle. It could...

I have a Domino (700) and never registered it for warranty. It quit 4-5yrs back, so I panicked at the thought of repair cost! I contacted Festool (USA), sent it to them, they repaired and returned....

I knew better than to include my last paragraph. Que sera.
I'll make it simpler and try again...

Your hypocrisy is showing. ^Here.^ 2 Sentences. Plain as day.


Certainly they can. And they...

This was not directed at you.

mmmm "Methinks the gentleman dost lack consistency of thought. And perhapseth a grandiosity of shame for a lifetime of fossil fuelethed boiler building?" -Shakespeare??? ...Nah. Probably not. ...

Surprise, surprise. I tried.


...and yet this is where you started. So, I'll take this as a tiny win for reality.


I left this one alone until now to keep from laughing.

Good thing no...

I work for a big dog. I know your 'villains' personally. Good people. Smart people. Damn smart. We are all proud to meet the world's energy needs. All 7B of 'em. Or is it 8B now? ...Is that...

Is Big Oil evil? Run by the Devil himself? All 1.5M-ish US O&G workers are mindless automatons, not to mention the shareholders? Deluded by the clearly sustainable business model of destroying the...

Which led to $96.99B in "net income". And flipping the napkin over, 25.3% margins. Is that greedy?

^Yep. And they posted ~$1.5T in 2023 revenue. Or with my napkin math, 2.4% profit (yes, it is a bit off from the other cited sources). What are your acceptable margins?

Or with a quick...

My take-away from the quoted article is that "policies" are not dictated by corporations, but rather by... uhm... well... ... by policy makers. I'll leave it at that. We mustn't anger Mr....

From Intuit/CreditKarma, but lots of other sources:


No mention of greed, but we can all find our own confirmation bias - if we look hard enough.

Thank you.
A different season’s sunrise and slightly different angle:

Long story, but we were contacted to assist 4 young ladies in rural CO w/ 8mi of range left and 20miles to the nearest town. Temps in the ‘teens; 8-10” snow. They just managed to climb the hill...
