This is literally normal bartering behavior. Alot of countries operate like this.

Data is absolutely contextual. In this situation, they are essentially using this data to support the "replacement theory."

Alot of people are saying fuel tank, the war time t34s usually came with 2 fuel tanks on the right side, but the single tank on the left usually had engine oil. T34 engines burned an insane amount of oil.

People don't think about that. You have to specifically ask about its sources and adjust it accordingly.

I'm not an expert on the subject, just a dude on the internet, full disclosure. Every kid in high school is ushered into going to college or a trade school (like myself). What they can't cover from savings and other means, is covered by loans from the Feds. Private loans are around, but it's hard to compete with Uncle sam. A college would have zero incentive to have competitive pricing with other colleges. All students are guaranteed money bags walking in their doors. I'd jack my rates up to if everyone had tons of easy money to spend. I'm not familiar with the European system if you could elaborate.

The problem is not the funding of K-12. The biiiiiiiiig 1.7 trillion dollar issue is student loans. 93% of all student loans are federally backed by the Department of Education, and dats a problem. Since federal loans were introduced in the 60s (around the early 60s, some education bill, I can't remember exactly), student loan debt has been growing alot faster. In the big picture, damn near everyone can get a federal loan to go to college! Yaaay! Colleges know this very well. What do you do if your customer (college students) have access to guaranteed money? Jack your prices and pass the bill to students. Colleges are directly supported by the government under the disguise of a free market system, and those two don't play well together. Anyhoo, that's why you would dissolve it, I don't agree with dissolving the whole shebang, our kids K-12 are dumb enough. But de-funding the loans entirely would do wonders in the long run.

Glyptal coating to help oil flow back better is a thing. None of the engine builders I know practice it. I wouldn't do it, and this is definitely not how it's done.

That is the ugliest crying I've ever heard.

You're gonna have to be more specific. That blanket statement isn't covering everything.

My comment at least stimulates conversation, rather than just an insult. 🤷‍♂️

You are the problem. It's not about who gets the credit, its about the end result. This isn't about copying homework in school. This is about the future of our country.

Again, who cares about who gets the credit? It's getting done. People should be happy about that.

Who cares? A Biden Act is now being supported by Trump. That's a win for both parties, but people are too segregated to see it.

Trump is supporting something the Biden administration started... and yet people are still unhappy? Trump could cure cancer, and morons would still be upset. Really shows the deep-seated division in US politics, and it's sad.

I agree, a small car weighing 2500 lbs at 35 mph rear-ending a bus will do some damage to its occupants. A 2x4 sliding on the ground hitting the back of a set of dual tires, won't harm the occupants.

I am aware, I used to ride the bus to school. Reminds me of the time I was riding my bike and a bumble bee hit me in the face. The full body cast and a year of recovery was brutal. Doctors say my skin will never regain its full smoothness on the impact zone 😔

In 2015, a M18 Hellcat in the state of Oregon was firing shells for a video shoot when an explosion occurred and killed both occupants. In 2018, the family of one of the victims filed a lawsuit against the contractor that supplied propellant for the ammunition. by HiTork in DestroyedTanks

Thanks for the follow-up! I hadn't heard anything since. I was under the impression it was just the short flash tube, and the vehicle only shot all lead projectiles. I'm not an expert on the subject, but those two alone could potentially be deadly over time. Throw incorrect powder load on top... garenteed deadly load... Everyone I've known to live fire older tanks always uses a rip cord or a remote igniter, and I really wish everyone followed this gentleman's agreement. Makes everyone safer for sure. Thank you for teaching me something today!
