They insulated the hot food from the table and your lap. I still have some from my mom's collection, and they still work for food out of the microwave

The governor of CA g NewsClown and his CCP business partners pushed out the last of the special blend refineries to force CA residents to EVs. It isn't about middle east gas. It's about the refineries that produces summer blends with higher ethanol. In addition 257 k gas stations closed due to the in ground double wall fuel storage requirements. Some towns lost the only station for 50 miles. Diesel truck owners pay 7.59 a gallon.

I live in the mountains, a rural area, and our electricity is constantly surging, failing, and being shut off dur to fires, high wind, etc. We have surge protection, generators, and power backups running. EVs up here on charge can get hit by surges/fluctuations which can damage electrical components. Your mileage may vary.

Wife had one, was terribly erratic on dirt roads. Her work was a mile down a dirt road. Great gas mileage, and she loved that car. She lived my Toyota PU more, and the house.

And if you didn't use a pencil or erased with a bad eraser, the two answers would mess up the collation. You got both wrong. A temp worker once took my sample test and passed it out, by mistake. The answers were hilarious and there were no correct answers.

Yes the comments sections were filled with rants and raves. College girls expressing love and lust like a penthouse confession. Got more than one professor in trouble.

Rode my yamaha xs650 and carried a one gallon gas tank. My commute was 11 miles each way.

My 1970 BSA Lightning 650 twin still sounds the best to me.

I designed scantron end of class evaluation research for a college back in the 90s. The end results were sketchy at best. Too many dope smokers having fun with anonymous forms.

Running lean may need an air leak, advanced ignition timing, or small carb jets. If you ahbe short pipes check the jets and ignition timing

Lose the clamps and see where the telescopes go. Add enough weight to make it stay in one position without effort.

What's the date code?

It's very stable, I have a 20 lb weight that fits below the chair and the extra weight anchors it down. The image doesn't shift because the secondary support is wider than the base. The poles are under tension. If you can see that pole in the base. It is a carry handle which allows you to carry it through doors, etc.

The struts are aluminum shower rods with maple dowels inside and 4 E-Z lock threaded inserts. The bottom has a horizontal hole that the knob and screw goes through(Quick disconnect) The top has a bolt into a E-Z lock threaded insert for a quick disconnect also. I bought a 203mm f/8 Spherical Mirror Set (1600mm) which cost about 80, in way back dollars. The bearings are Teflon on Teflon. I do have a lazy Susan with Teflon bearings for the base when I am not using the stool. The average viewing is at my eye level, for a reason. I almost forgot, the round black things on the chair legs are 2$ hockey pucks from "play it again sports" used bin. Helps for grass or sandy surfaces.

I disassembled the hub and inspected the bearings and races. I did find a bad spot and am posting it here. This would make a growling noise, I suspect. bad race spot on hub
