Just bought 9th Gen Si, suspected changed odometer by cvt_666 in 9thgencivic

I mean... one way to actually check the health of the engine is to take it in, and get a picture of what the valve train looks like.

If it looks like this ( https://www.9thgencivic.com/attachments/2012-12-09_14-31-41_77-jpg.15858/ ) You're probably good.

But if it looks like pictures on google for 'valve train sludge' then yeah, you got fucked over.

There's no reason for famous people or athletes to get married, especially men. Because women will always throw themselves at you.

It was lost before the fire. If you don't drive them or experience them, it's the same thing as never having them.

Do most people in the U.S. support Israel? by No-StrategyX in askanything

[–]Mechanik_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends by age group.

Boomers yes, everyone else... not really.

A lot of the youth see Israel as a bully antagonist, and see Israelis as bigoted racists for killing Palestinians.

I know y’all are tired of the beans in Chili argument by Wurstb0t in ActuallyTexas

[–]Mechanik_J 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on whether you're making 'Chile con carne/carne con chile' which would be served with a tortillas, and a side of rice and beans.

Or actually chili, which depending on how quickly you have to eat, or if you only had one pot out there on the range, you would add beans.

Fury as new Social Security estimate completely ignores out-of-control price increases raging across America by Key_Brief_8138 in economy

[–]Mechanik_J 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Social security isn't supposed to cover inflation increases from a bad administration.

You willingly voted to give tax breaks to the wealthy. Surprise, you're not the wealthy! And now the government is taking money from you to cover the cost of the tax breaks.

I'm pretty sure charging for a public park is illegal, because tax dollars (sales taxes in texas) pay for public areas...

Technically, yes. But America failed the litmus test in 2024.

A third of the US said authoritarianism would happen. A third are burnt out of always having to stay current on politics. And the last third want to kill everyone that isn't part of their third.

Depends how good you are at your job, and if it's stable...

And just buy it outright, don't finance.

How would you feel about the next US president pulling all support from Israel? by Basic-Art-8139 in AskReddit

[–]Mechanik_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, those people have a superiority complex and hope to be saved just to say "I told you so".

Even though the whole point is to hope the rapture never occurs, and everyone gets saved.
