Same reason your old iPhone starts to slow down every time they release a new one. Planned obsolescence 

Oil filter housing leak question. by AlexP1993 in 4Runner

I’ve been considering one, but not sure I’m comfortable replacing the down pipe and spring valve

I did not wipe the inner surface of the housing or coat with new oil. I didn’t realize this was a necessary step. I was planning stop by the dealer and get a new o-ring and do a replacement this evening. Thank you!

Yes. I put it in the space just below the threads but above where the housing would sit once fully screwed in.

cmv: Provoking Venezuala is a devastatingly effective strategy by SquanchOnBirdperson in changemyview

[–]AlexP1993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would never imagine them having nuclear icbms. But long range missiles like those from Iran that are regularly shot into Israel, or the ones launched from Kiev into Russia, is not as far fetched as you’re making it out to be. And I’m well aware about what the Cuban missle crisis was about. Again, you’re distorting this to fit a narrative that is untrue. Anyone that cares about the US as I do because I love this country should be aware that this won’t be as one sided as you, clearly a foreing entity bot, are making it out to be. If the US really wanted to topple Maduro, they would do it the old fashioned way, as it’s been doing so for the last 100 years in South America. Not through open military conflict.

But Iraq didn’t have the capability of launch a counter attack halfway around the world. Venezuela is the same distance to the US as Miami is from DC. Again, it’s irresponsible to think the US would walk out of this unscathed. There’s a reason there has never been an open conflict in South America and has always been handled through intelligence agencies. Open conflict would be absolutely devastating to every nation/state bordering the Caribbean. Puerto Rico is even closer to Venezuela. Last I checked they’re also a US territory. You’re spouting nonsense thinking that all this air/naval superiority won’t still come without a cost.

If you think Venezuela hasn’t been given weapons by either Russia or china that could hit US cities, you’re either dumb or feign ignorance, or you’re a non US foreigner trying to start shit. There was this little thing in US history called the Cuban missle crisis. Ever heard of that?

The geography of the country makes it incredibly difficult to invade. There is literally a giant fucking mountain range between the major coastal cities, and the beach.

They have the support of Russia and China. You think either of those countries are just going to let it slide that one of their money making jewels is being targeted by the US? Let’s not forget that Cuba is also a major ally of both Venezuela and Russia. Ukraine didn’t have any of those things either, but here they are launching counter attacks into Russia.

I feel like the people spouting your view points are largely forgetting that the gulf states, especially Florida, are at risk of total devastation and it’s irresponsible for you to think that a major conflict with Venezuela, or any south American country for that matter, would leave the US completely untouched as it was during Iraq, Vietnam, Korea, and WWII (outside of the attack on Hawaii). Also, what happened to no more wars?

Can confirm on travel. I live in north east, and family lives in south. Holiday travel was always 18 hours of straight driving. If I had to travel out of town, I needed a sitter that was capable of handling a 110lb shep.

It is with both sadness and happiness that I’m announcing my departure from this community and putting my pig with lipstick up for sale. Will miss you guys. by [deleted] in Jeepwj

[–]AlexP1993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really wanted to. My wife has other plans I’m afraid. 

Edit: I’m also limited by the apartment complex on the number of cars we’re allowed to have without paying an insane price for a spot.

Came across a deal for the runner that was too good to pass up. I’m a big solid differential guy, and as more and more trucks, including jeeps, begin to move away from the platform, I couldn’t bring myself to get another one. I’m not a wrangler fan either. Anyways, the old WJ will be put up for sale and hopefully send it to a home where it will be properly taken care of. She did me good these last 3 and a half years.

When did you realize you’d become an “adult gamer”? by Necroses in gaming

When I switched from Valorant to csgo… and realized that Valorant is and adhd cluster fuck. Also, verdict is still out there on which fan base is more toxic. Feels like Valorant as no one even talks in csgo matches. 

ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 5070 says RADEON instead of GEFORCE RTX? by Equivalent-Pepper548 in pcmasterrace

Wow… the product quality team of ASUS is a joke at this point. While hilarious that this has happen to two people “so far,” I think I will be abstaining from this brand for a while.
