I thought it was the four speed that was the biggest problem, but I guess both were bad. I have one in a 2000 Accord V6. The damn transmission doesn’t have a fucking filter. No wonder they crap out.
You’re right about it being an otherwise great vehicle. The third row seats in the Honda are comfier than the middle row of a Ford Freestar van.
What’s real wheel drive, supercharged, and mid-engined?
This glorious machine!
Get a dish towel wet and use that to swat at the fly. The weight of the water and the extra length of the towel let’s you get it going faster than the fly can react.
Put one foot in front of the other And soon you’ll be walking cross the floor Put one foot in front of the other And soon you’ll be walking out the door
Sorry. That’s the best advice I can give

Lol. The combined market cap of those 5 companies is over a trillion dollars. So they own a combined 0.01% of those companies. Whooptie fucking doo
It has nothing to do with disliking learning. Trying to learn and use a system of measurement without being immersed in it is really hard. For years, I’ve set all my temperature measurements on my phone and thermometers to Celsius, but because I’m surrounded by people and systems that don’t use metric, I have to convert back and forth between the two. It’s a lot of mental effort for basically no gain.
Every day, customary speed and distance units and my intuitive understanding of them are reinforced when driving and seeing street signs. I know how long a kilometer is, but if you say “My brother lives 45 kilometers away”, I’d have a difficult time truly understanding that. I wouldn’t be able to estimate how long it would take to drive there, for example.
Another issue is cost. In my job, it would take weeks or months to update all of the documentation and code to metric. Then customers would have to approve of all those changes. A whole bunch of machinery still uses customary units too, so they would have to be replaced or updated.
I say all of this as a metric lover and evangelist. It’s not trivial to convert an entire massive country to metric. Countries that have converted already should be hugely proud of themselves for accomplishing a difficult task.

I feel gross agreeing with Rand fucking Paul about something.
This is correct, but they do make portable units with two hoses. Those will be as efficient as a window unit. Costco sells dual hose models for a few hundred dollars. I have one and it works well for heating and cooling.
For something slow moving and sticky like fake maple syrup, a plastic bottle will let you squeeze the syrup out instead of waiting for it to slowly drip down to the nozzle.
Buddy, I just shit your pants.
The last outbreak was not contained. Prior to 2022, there was no sustained transmission outside of central Africa. The 2022 outbreak saw significant transmission all over the world. There were 30,000 confirmed cases and 42 deaths in the US alone.
Just because something isn’t extremely contagious right now doesn’t mean it can’t become a pandemic. A virus can will mutate, it can go unnoticed, etc. As it stands, mpox can be transmitted by respiratory droplets.
Smallpox was a related virus. It too was transmissible through close contact with other people. It killed 300 million people in the 20th century. While vaccination is likely going to prevent mpox from becoming anywhere close to that deadly, I’d rather not play with fire. Don’t ignore a nasty virus.
“Caaaarl! That kills people!”
It’s not hard to imagine. Spacial Disorientation is where your brain can’t tell the difference between acceleration and climbing very sharply. It happens when there’s no visual references. It sounds like the flight was dealing with overcast weather, so there might not have been a true horizon.
It’s happened before. Atlas Air Flight 3591. United Airlines Flight 1722. Flight 1722
I take a 30 to 40 minute walk (2 miles) every day at work. Sometimes it’s to clear my head. Sometimes it’s to think about work. Sometimes it’s to think about not work. No one cares, and if they did, I’d argue it’s time well spent for the company. I can’t get anything done if my brain is overflowing with crap.
Man, a work LAN party would be pretty cool.
No, their airlines are not an ancillary product. They are their main product. According to Boeing’s earnings reports, the commercial aircraft segment of the company made up 56% of total revenue in 2018, 42% in 2019, 27% in 2020, 30% in 2021, 38% in 2022, and 43% in 2023. The rest of their revenue is split between the Defense, Space and Security segment, and the Global Services segment.
Prior to 2017, the vast majority of the earnings for the whole company came from the Commercial Airplanes segment. Since then, that segment has been operating at a loss. Since 2022, both Defense and Commercial Airplanes have been operating at a loss.
If you’re curious you can look up Boeing’s 10-k form. Page 56 has the revenue breakdowns.
I know that if I skip a meal, I can get really hungry later. That or I start snacking on crap. So skipping a meal could potentially lead to weight gain because you end up eating more than if you didn’t skip the meal.
Then why are you here?
While this policy is bullshit, I’d firmly disagree that kei cars are safer than half of vehicles in the US.
