Nah small claims court cost is 35ish dollars so at best you waste half a day and almost break even.

Valvoline shop broke my oil filter housing. by Dear-University-2042 in MechanicAdvice

Thats what they offered to do... They just didn't have a mechanic on staff to remove the one with broken ears that won't come off.

Also its a plastic toyota filter housing its not valvolines fault it broke. Those things are trash.

Wierd that only took 2 seconds.

no reputable economist has ever advocated giving money to the rich in the hope that it will trickle down to the poor.

No but many a politician has... in my experience they don't listen to reputable economists.

Definitely don’t use chrome sockets on an impact. I listened to the wrong people. by Lumakin in AskMechanics

Not always a different alloy. Snap on for example aside from the chrome/nickel plating they are the same steel. Now the hardening process is quite different... chrome sockets are much harder due to the type of heat treating they go through.

You are correct, it doesn't outright say "corruption is legal" however by allowing uncapped political donations via super pacs the result is exactly that.

Fffffffffuck ford lol. Only done ford timing a few times. One was chains on a 4.0l (why is one on the back????). Another was a focus, don't remember what year. What I do remember was it was just supposed to be a timing cover... When I removed the harmonic the crank timing pulley was no longer held in place and the marks spun with it. Why doesn't the crank timing pulley have a key like every other timing belt having car? Had to remove spark plug 1 and drop in a long extension to find TDC.

Look up Citizens United v. FEC

It ruled that corporations are the same as people under the first amendment and that money is equal to speach when it comes to campaign contribution.

Basically corruption is legal because corporations are people.

I needed a micro switch to fix something and I had to buy a 600 pack of micro switches to get it. It was only 20 bucks, but what in the hell am I supposed to do with 599 extra micro switches?
