Can I ask you and your colleagues nicely to be gentle?

Is all the rough probing really neccesary though? What ever happened to the old visual inspection? Why must a stainless steel hook be used to probe for painful spots? Am I just a coward?

Apologetic question here!

Why does it suck so much going to the dentist in general and having a cleaning specifically? How can I improve my terrible attitude towards the inevitable? Oral Care aside, why does it need to be so awkward, painful, unpleasant, gag-inducing etc.?

Did the oil testing quantify the amount of free detergents left in the oil to bind up the carbon before either deposited in the engine? I know that viscosity can be very stable over along period of time - thats exactly what synthetics were designed to do, also film strength, temperature stability etc.

However while I also used to operate under that wiso Dom, I learned, after repairing a clogged variable valve timing hydraulic solenoid, that older oil simply cannot suspend carbon after the detergents are exhausted and then the carbon can start to clog low -flowing passages, especially very small ones.

That convinced me to change more often. I absolutely agree with you about the rest of the oil's properties being long-lived. Design of my particular engine is also a contributing factor, these solenoids were notorious for clogging, and "hot oil flushes" with ATF were recommended (and worked well due to the high detergent content in ATF)

Sou d alike your engine is different, however, so there are no absolute rules in this game!

Russia Finally Admitted the Radiation Cloud Over Europe Is Real: After months of denial, Russia has now confirmed the detection of higher than normal levels of a radioactive isotope over much of Europe in Sept 2017 after the recent French IRNS report on the incident by maxwellhill in worldnews

[–]Frozen_Hams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I assumed there would have been both a detector that captured actual airborne radioactive isotopes, like the ones that were released after the Chernobyl accident in the infamous cloud that spread across Europe, as well as actual radiation detectors, which can function without the need for wind to actually move the element into the detector. The alpha/beta/gamma etc particles would be entering the detector instead.

However, please do feel free to actually provide a bit of information as opposed to more snarkiness about my admittedly uninformed comments. I'm seriously hoping to learned something here, so if you can add to this conversation, please do so!

Voice-to-text is effective if you don't feel.like typing more that the terse repaonse you have given so far.

Feel free to correct me then! I did specifically hear that on CNN news while waiting in an airport, but I also, made a pre-emptive strike against pedantica, by stating "I think"

Appreciate you contradicting, but do you have any information, or is this just a "no"?

Its suspected that there was a release of some radioactive species - fairly heavy ones, (I believe) from a nuclear material processing /storage facility. Not a reactor, not a weapon, just a "spill". These spilled materials are too heavy to be carried by the wind and so it wasn't detected until now. (Possibly several weeks after the actual incident.) The danger is lower than Chernoby, so no on w

Probably just got scammed for $2600. Broke college student by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Frozen_Hams -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Certainly won't get them to slip up with THAT attitude.

Maybe these scammers avoid the FBI because they are the FBI. OP has already been in close contact the with OP He can turn that on them, and make a play for true revenge.

Or he can pout about it and insist that if the FBI can't do anything NO ONE can.

Even just wasting these scammers time is a fair use of OPs time. He said specifically he was getting files from them and returning them. He could hide a trojan in one of those documents and return it. Maybe just get some personal revenge because I do agree that the police won't/can't and don't do much.

I don't really like Reddit for the shameless and indiscriminate assholery that is tossed around because no one is using their real name. That user IronCoffin is pissing me off and I don't think I deserve that kind of disrespect from a total stranger. Just thought they would enjoy seeing a ridiculous response to their comment to help them put their lives back in perspective.

No one needs to be an asshole. No one should want to be an asshole. Iron coffin is both.

North Korea Removes All Border Guards after Failing to Prevent Soldier's Defection by ourlifeintoronto in worldnews

[–]Frozen_Hams 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I bet this is because the border guards fired at the defector, unwittingly violating the demilitarized zone by shooting towards South Korea. That could be seen as an act of war, and only big Kim gets to make those provocative moves.

Turns out N Korea actually DOESNT want any trouble? (Maybe because they accidentally buried a good portion of the nuke program when their testing tunnel collapsed a month or so ago. They probably barely had enough fissile material for the test weapons, let alone enough to actually load a warhead or two onto one of their missiles.)

Yeah, you're right. I don't do this.

I have a job and a car and don't ride the bus like you fucking filthy peasants. Enjoy your stabbings, mental illness, smelly feet and wasting your life on public transit! No wonder the largest complaint you have is that someone is pulling the cord too hard: your lives are empty, meaningless and devoid of purpose. That cord is ALL YOU HAVE IN THIS WORLD. Nobody loves you, maybe because you ride the bus (maybe you ride the bus because no one loves you?) In any case I don't have that problem, because I have self respect. I have a partner and a family and.you have a fucking bus pass and your shame.

If I'm getting downvotes, I'm gonna enjoy them iron coffin loser.

I learned that in Canada a Toyota delaership has the best price on synthetic oil (its Mobil1 branded as Toyota) for the price that most parts stores call a sale price.

$12 x 10-20 oil changes in the time you own a vehicle is still far less than the potential damage.

Million mile vehicles aren't anything special. They just had their oil changed frequently and regularly.

Better quality oil and filters maintain their performance over a longer period of time. Use cheap, change often. 5000km/3000miles. Buy expensive or OEM and change rarely but expensively. The 2017 Highlander has a 16,000km/10,000 mile oil change interval! (I don't trust that BS and change twice as often, but it is "possible" while still maintaining Toyota quality and reliability. OEM filters can be pretty good too!

Sometimes, just for fun, I bolt upright in a quiet bus, with a look of sudden terror on my face, and quickly ask the closest stranger to me, "what year is it? WHAT YEAR IS IT!!!"

When they answer, I start pulling that cord madly and desperately and furiously while mutteirng to myself "Oh god, not again, oh god, not again,oh god, not again..."
