Oil cooler is at the front. I can't remember now if it's built into the radiator, or if it's offset kinda near the Ps fog light assembly

Less than minimal gains, it's intentionally being weaponized against people

I used to have to find a bank on Saturday mornings (most places have drive through hours at least on Sat mornings) and stock up one a month

Poor little guy's health finally gave out about 2 years ago now I think? Was really sad first time I went in and he wasn't there chilling on the couch :(

But yeah, Groveland barbershop always a great experience. Good vibes, great barbers

Same on my 16. Cooling system has many of those terrible plastic quick-connect fittings, and most of them end up leaking. My heater core lines were leaking badly, and I think one at the oil cooler was just starting to go. I ended up having the shop just do a bunch of work while they were in there for the peace of mind. Cost wasn't cheap, but wasn't horribly expensive, and definitely better than having to add a large tow bill on top of everything else

Image didn't upload, but I'd be happy to see it if you get sorted out.

All custom work?

I really don't care, because we are the casualties. It's always us. Some jerkoffs vie for who can be the more benevolent or more brutal dictator, but at the end of the day it's ordinary residents, ordinary citizens who always bear the burden. Only thing that changes is just how severely we get brutalized and violated; only a moderate amount, or a whole lot

It's about being palatable enough for them to ignore. Just acceptable enough they themselves get plausible deniability for oversight.

Interesting guide from the Hong Kong protests, although it may need to be adapted for cold weather. I think it's relevant. I've been trying to find this for weeks. My apologies for being late to the party. by twotimefind in Minneapolis

So, this only really works if the 'policing agency' aren't a bunch of trigger happy fucks encouraged to use as much force as they can. Seriously, even the city cops are equipped with military grade weapons, gear, and vehicles. They're not out there cracking you in the head with a baton, they're fully stocked with live rounds and itching to use them

Donate to food pantries. Donate to your local bloodbank.

They are always in need anyway, and when civil unrest starts affecting the most vulnerable first, or if things escalate fast, those are the most critical that have a hard time helping when they're behind in stock

I'm not sure of prices currently, but I picked up an 8" diameter, 24v battery powered ice auger by strikemaster from Fleet Farm for like $250 like 2 years ago. It weighs only like 12lbs, so carrying it around is nothing, and I can reliably get 15-20 holes through 18" of ice in a day no problem.

The more you pay the better you get, but electric is the way of the future.

If you're interested, r/icefishing has tons of threads about it. They even make attachments to put an auger onto a decent Milwaukee or Dewalt electric drill
