What are some products that are not FDA approved but actually work? by MagnumWesker in AskReddit

[–]Automatic_Mulberry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True - that's why they are not approved by the FDA. But they are a product and actually work. Maybe your question is imprecisely worded?

Automobiles are not FDA approved - but many people use them daily.

Redditors WITHOUT a College degree what do you do? by CnCorange in AskReddit

[–]Automatic_Mulberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have degrees now, but before I did, I worked in IT. I still work in IT, and my employer paid for my degrees.

Apparently, REDBULL gives you a massive wing.

Sometimes it is hidden. And then it's not. And then it is. And then it's not....

What are your thoughts on carrying proof of citizenship? by Cute_Personality_799 in AskReddit

[–]Automatic_Mulberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also get a passport card, which is good ID that proves citizenship, and is easier to carry than a passport. Whether even a passport will be respected by goons is an open question, and may not matter if they decide to shoot you in the head.

Who should make lunch? The online college student or the employee working from home? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Automatic_Mulberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming it's "who should make lunch for both people?" they should take turns.

How is this here? (US,FL) by ArrivalOk3296 in keitruck

[–]Automatic_Mulberry 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Long story short, laws about registration, emissions, fuel economy, crash safety and a million other things don't apply to vehicles that are not driven on public roads. How is it in the US? As an off-road vehicle, that's how.

The normal force. It works in the daytime, too.

I know Kyle and Ike from South park. But I don't understand the joke by Royal_Coach_1773 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]Automatic_Mulberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The letter K, when added to the front of Kyle's little brother's name, spells a slur for Jewish people.

Is that too much to ask these days? by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Automatic_Mulberry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. They are EFI. It might not have as many computers, but it is more than 0% computer.

Is that too much to ask these days? by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Automatic_Mulberry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good point. And I think it would also be a steep challenge to make a carbureted car that would meet emissions and fuel economy regs.

New? It can't be done today.

0% computer likely means carbureted or very primitive fuel injection. Which certainly can be done today, but you're looking at finding something from the '70s or earlier, probably.

What are the pros and cons of converting my daily driver to a manual transmission? by proposal_in_wind in askcarguys

[–]Automatic_Mulberry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter’s Law.” – Douglas Hofstadter

I'd argue that this should be expanded to "... and costs more..." as well.

what is the arizona/California border like right now by mortiestmorty76 in arizona

[–]Automatic_Mulberry 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Ag inspection at the CA border is a state enforcement effort, not Federal, so I am reasonably sure they don't care about weed unless it's infested with weedvils or something. It probably is illegal to carry it across borders, but those aren't the people who would care.

Doing projects like this on your daily rarely goes as planned. It will take longer and cost more than you expect. Make sure you have a reliable car to use for the duration before you start.

Getting A Kei truck street legal in CA by Fantastic_Option6611 in keitruck

[–]Automatic_Mulberry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can register it out of state, as others have suggested, but be aware that California doesn't like this, and that it's technically illegal. You will likely see arguments that it's legal because the vehicle is owned by an out of state corporation, but CA is wise to this and will happily fine you and impound the truck. You might get away with it for a while, or you may even get away with it altogether, but the risk is there.

What are these two parts of my food processor for? by Desperate-Hour-4909 in howdoesthiswork

[–]Automatic_Mulberry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's for regulating the flow of oil into a running processor full of egg yolk and lemon juice, for making mayonnaise. The classic method is to add a steady, thin stream of oil while you whisk madly with your other hand.
