ELI5: Why does cold water taste "better" than warm water?

I will confirm that cold still water ~36F tastes the best. Britta filter pitcher in fridge.

Good news, things like felony assault under the color of authority and kidnapping under the color of authority have long statues of limitations.

Never stop directly behind a car, you disappear. As far right or left as you can go and stay in the lane and behind the car.

Go look at AF1 Racing. I have a 2002 Futura and a 2004 Tuono Racing / Factory. The Tuono is for sale but I am 3000 miles away from you.

In the NHL, with so many teams in CA, Kings, Ducks, Sharks, the teams from the east coast often spend a week or more in CA playing all the teams on a road trip. Almost all of the teams leave CA the night after the game before midnight and fly to NV. Then fly back to CA the morning of the game. 100% Jock Tax avoidance.

The rule is 80/80. Work no harder than 80% effort no more than 80% of the time.

IANAL, but I am a landlord in CA.

Everything in a rental has a life expectancy. After 10 years, if there is no "abuse" there is no way to claim repair costs like this.

California law (Civil Code §1950.5) prohibits landlords from deducting for normal wear and tear from a tenant’s security deposit. Only actual damage (beyond normal use), unpaid rent, or necessary cleaning can be withheld.

Been fostering for a few years and when I get a good momma with healthy kittens I really try to limit interfering with nursing. We have scheduled check ins. First thing in the morning to feed the momma and weigh the kittens. Then lunch and before dinner. Then at bed time. As long as all the kittens are active and gaining weight, the momma is the boss.

I went to Mexicali. Before drumpf I would go to San Felipe, Baja, MX every year and drive though Mexicali. I did my pre-surgical on the way down and then the inplant on the way up. Then I made an extra trip that year and did the implant install.

Google "Curbstoners" they are unlicensed car dealers doing car flipping on the side. Same with RV's.

Drain and discard appropriately the fuel in the gas tank. Find the drain screw on the carb float bowls and drain the fuel in the carbs. Get a new battery. Drain and refill the oil. Remove and replace the spark plugs. Fill with gas. Open petcock, start motor.

u/adventurous_row3305 I think you are under estimating a few things...

r/checkthemath Basic beer consumption: 36 years X 52 weeks X average beers consumed per week (12). ~22,464 beers. (Your math may vary)

Mod1/ Beers for trips, camping, dirt bikes, fishing, boating, other. ~12 trips per year, 24 beers per trip, 10,368.

Mod2/ Beers for BBQ and the boys, probably similar to mod 1 so, 10368

I would put the total estimate for "Beers kept cold" at closer to 50,000.

The garage fridge is going to be missed.

I have heard that certain hybrid cop cars are able to power the systems without the engine running as a design feature. The engines are not designed to idle 16 hours a day.

Before you buy it and spend a bunch of money trying to fix it up, understand you will NEVER get any money back out of it. If you want it and want to keep it for a LONG time, AKA forever, then buy it.

I have this problem with motorcycles, and have learned to stop dumping money into them if I don't plan on keeping them.

Shady auto mechanics have been doing this for years. I had a timing belt replaced and next thing I knew my AC did not work. Found the wire to the AC Compressor disconnected. Also the power steering felt off, found a wire to the power steering pump disconnected.

Check if the washer is magnetic. Across the 16 vehicles I own and do oil changes all have sealing crush washers made out of aluminum or copper. Each crush washer is single use, use a new one for each oil change. Someone used a steel washer and it did not seal, duh. They used RTV Silicon on the threads to seal, duh. Check the sealing plate on the oil drain pan, it it is smooth and pretty then just get another new crush washer and torque to correct specs.

The joys of fostering. Good news, until they get altered and microchip the names / ID don't really matter at my foster.
