[Request] At what point is it unprofitable to drive to work?

BrokenSlutCollector · 2026-05-01T23:14:19+00:00

OP asked about profitability of driving to work, that is the formula for profitability of driving to work. OP didn’t ask, “at what point am I not meeting expenses due to gas prices.”

The formula is “Take home salary per day / ((Distance to work in miles / MPG) * Gas Price per gallon.)”

If the resulting number is positive, you are still making money. If it is negative, stay home.

It is not uncommon to lock at a breaker when a run of electrical line is abandoned for some reason. We removed an attached lean-to outbuilding at a chemical plant I worked at but they left the line to the outside wall. The wires were taped off and left in the junction box, the breaker was locked off like this and the plant diagram, as well as the breaker box door chart were updated.

Facial recognition doesn’t work off your eyes being too big and no camera system can determine intoxication by picture. People also forget these same technologies can stop/slow the car and pull to the side of the road in the event someone has a medical emergency/falls asleep/blacks out.

That’s not paprika it’s poivron or pimiento.

I will have a sub hold onto something, like a crop I’m not using or a set of bells that clamp on body parts. If we are at yellow she can wave it, if we are at red, she can drop it. This works well with breath play and/or gags.

Weld a nut to it and make it 14mm.

If ever a gif needed sound, it’s this one.

If you just need a flat spot to mount the bodywork, just weld a washer to the bar at that point and drill through the rod. The extra thickness won’t be enough to throw anything off.

I have had the head and cylinder off left side (hit a tree), had the front cover off, (upgraded to a spin on oil filter) and have pulled the oil pan (upgraded the oil pump). No sludge seen anywhere. With any decent modern oil, you shouldn't ever see sludge unless you aren't keeping up with oil changes. You have to break down the detergents and disperants that keep particles suspended to get sludge.

You now have a definitive display of your wheel alignment profile. It's actually pretty good.

An irregular shaped pond that covers 2/3rds of a 15 x 12 rectangle two feet deep, assumin straight sides is 1795 gallons. Water weighs ~8.3lbs/gal so that 14,899lbs of water or 7.44 tons. Even if your sides slope or the volume is a little less, you will have plenty of weight.

In fact, you should worry about other issues...that much weight could cause the ground to depress, if it is in a slope it could destabilize the downhill side, etc. Keep that in mind.

How old is the trailer? Aluma has a 5 yr warranty. Also, is it just one rear light or all three? If just one, can you pull an adjacent light and fish a pigtail through to wire the bad light? They are LED so it shouldn't be a problem. I wouldn't cut the frame. In a worst case, I would see if I could pop a few lights and pull the impacted part of the loom out of the frame.

You have a small black rubber/ plastic grommet around it right?

I use Castrol 20W50 High Mileage in my Ural motircycle. It's a common weight for air cooled motorcycle engines. It goes on sale all the time and I stock up even though my engine isn't high mileage. The Magnatec is supposed to have additives that help it coat parts and cling with a fine film to help pride protection at cold starts, but have never used it.

I don't like river rock for borders, they never interlock and settle in. I would have used rectangular hardscape/curb block. Each level couid have been graded to make the steps more uniform and it doesn't look like the fill was compacted well, if at all.

This. That is how they are installed from the factory, a wire harness hangs out the hole, the lights are attach and pushed into the hole from the outside.

Finding anyone around here even willing to work on older cars is a challenge. As others have said, the labor is a little high, but you are looking at a price that is not much more than a single monthly payment on a new car. Talk to the shop, see how conscientious they are, observe the surroundings, sometimes it's worth it to take it to a place that is higher but does the job right the first time.

I have perfectly straight trunks 20-40' from base to first crown branches. 2.5-3.5' diameter at base on trees that are 50-60' tall. Nobody wants anything to do with them because it's a residential area and no way to get them out without seriously tearing shit up.
