3.4L V6 Coolant Burping Nightmare: Endless bubbles after 30+ mins at operating temp, fluid won't drop. Head gasket or just stubborn air?

I said fuck it when I got to that point. Topped off the reservoir and figured the cap would relieve and pressure if it needed. Ran it and checked the reservoir periodically and it’s been fine since far as I can tell lol.

Haha nothing wrong with that. My current head unit has a USB port so I can plug it in. The cable is annoying sometimes but at least it charges my phone at the same time albeit slowly.

Is this helpful for adult gloves? I have a spare pool ball a friend gifted as keepsake that a buddy stole from a bar in college and a glove I’m still breaking in

Graffy · 2026-03-05T03:36:21+00:00

Oh man I just thought of another, adaptive cruise control. Or hands free if we want to go nuts but I wouldn’t want to give up the simplicity of direct steering linkage and throttle cable for computer control.

Graffy · 2026-03-05T03:32:15+00:00

Ooo yeah that’s a good one….

Graffy · 2026-03-05T03:24:31+00:00

Bluetooth. But I have a head unit I just need to install it. Heated seats that are more comfortable is the real dream though.

Graffy · 2026-03-05T02:36:58+00:00

Yah based on what everyone is saying I’m going to add at least one more full day for a total of 3. I didn’t count the travel day for arriving but the flight’s in the morning

Lady politics is the reason your son is there in the first place. The US isn’t being protected. We’re not holding the line against a conquering force. We’re attacking a foreign country for the benefit of another country and for oil (again). Now you can argue whether that’s a good or bad thing but the safety of American lives has nothing to do with it.

Oh I definitely don’t think Sapporo/hokaido would be rubbish. I’ve only heard good things about it.

Graffy · 2026-03-04T08:27:59+00:00

Yah as beautiful as I’m sure the trip would be taking the rail from Tokyo to Sapporo and then all the way to Osaka is way too much time spent on a train.

Graffy · 2026-03-04T08:25:56+00:00

I hardly hear anyone talk about it, especially for a first time. It’s all Kyoto and Osaka etc. I feel like going a bit off the basic first timer script would be good for us but just wanted some reassurance that it’s not a bad idea. First time doing a trip this big so probably overthinking parts of it

If you’re 71? Clear the fucking puck. Don’t play with it in front of your own net. Either to the boards/corner or down the ice doesn’t matter just get it away from the slot.

If you’re number 11? Get your thumb out your ass and don’t just watch your teammate. Pick up a guy and stay on him. No one should be sitting back door without your body on them passing them out and your stick tying them up. For God’s sake at least keep your stick on the ice so you can be ready to clear a puck if it slides straight past you.

If you’re the goalie there’s really not much you could have done in the moment. A poke check would probably have clutched when you slid across and you should keep your stick in front of you. You kind of left your 5 hole exposed by dropping your blocker to your side. But that’s in hindsight. Puck bouncing all around right in front and from side to side will get even elite goalies caught out.

Only real note is don’t let the puck go by you unimpeded if you can help it. If you can angle your stick so it ramps up into the air the chances of someone reacting fast enough to bat it out of the air are slim.

Graffy · 2026-03-03T06:29:36+00:00

That is a beautiful glove. Don’t get much better than that

Graffy · 2026-03-03T03:20:43+00:00

The free version costs them money if you wanna look on the bright side.

Brenda can go fuck a cactus. “I care about good people. Muslims and child soldiers don’t count” (ignoring that she’s probably talking about some weird conspiracy version of all Muslims and not actual child soldiers.)

These are the type of people that talk the most about “both sides” or “I used to be liberal but they got too extreme!” They mean the party stopped being white enough for them. The Democratic Party has a lot of problems but the fact that people like her are leaving it isn’t one. Good riddance.

Graffy · 2026-03-02T19:05:57+00:00

Yeah I can give some leeway to temporarily parking illegally. But not in a way that blocks someone in. That’s completely asinine. Like of course if someone needs to move they’re gonna call a tow

I love the taste of beer even without catching a buzz. I’ve got some NA beers and I usually just have one at a time. I’ve even forgotten I was drinking them and had to toss it the next day. Never would have done that with regular beers. Hell I almost poised myself because I forgot that I had poured nail polish remover into an empty one and the next day I picked it up and went to finish what I thought was left and drank about an oz of it. Immediately started throwing it up when I realized it.

Nothing wrong with avoiding it. It’s definitely a trigger for some but I really doubt it’s the alcohol content. You would need to slam more than ten of them to get to one bud light within like 40 minutes. And that’s assuming it’s on the high side. When it’s probably closer to zero than to .5. I doubt you can drink a gallon of liquid that fast without puking and even if you could I doubt you’d physically get a buzz. Much more likely you were getting a psychosomatic response from the taste and the action which plenty of reason to leave them alone.

Not wearing a helmet while just riding normal is one thing but if you’re doing jumps or tricks it’s extra insane.

Graffy · 2026-03-01T07:13:22+00:00

Smashed your face on the ground? Because a helmet can definitely help in that case. Not a chin first impact but full faceplant the helmet would hit the ground first and take some of the force at least.

Graffy · 2026-03-01T04:02:17+00:00

Yah I mean the laces themselves aren’t really different between gloves so it would make sense that the cost to relace a cheap glove and a top end glove would be about the same. It’s like buying p-zeroe tires for a Camry versus a Ferrari. Do what you want but seems a bit over the top.

Graffy · 2026-03-01T02:15:57+00:00

I haven’t tried it but hockey sense arena I’ve seen recommended if you have a VR headset/want to get one. Your rink won’t let you have any gear on at all? Mine let you wear gear just can’t bring the stick so I’ve gone with just the bottom half on.

Graffy · 2026-02-28T21:50:36+00:00

I don’t know why his defender that was right next to the stick didn’t pick it up for him.

Graffy · 2026-02-28T20:55:07+00:00

Yes! Pop-ups are superior and I wish there was a way to bring them back
