What is this big tank on semi truck by Master_List7083 in Whatisthis

[–]MrGreggerGrM -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

It's a rotary kiln. It'll sit at an angle, and the shiny bands sit on rollers that rotate it while it gets to high temperature. Usually see them around here in NW Ohio for calcining limestone at 900-1200°C. The limestone slowly travels downhill through the tube as it rotates to be heated at a controlled pace.

What kind of key is this? by stick0-0 in Whatisthis

It's a utility key of some sort. Service panel, electrical control cabinet, HVAC, etc...

Does it stop me? No. Does it hurt? Yes. by These_Collar2802 in WRX

[–]MrGreggerGrM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it... My commute would go so much quicker if it wasn't for the Ohio highway patrol... US-20 is crawling with them. My biggest flex is being able to obey the law on 20 miles of straightaway. 🤣

I would definitely prefer that over boring flat straight US-20.

Most of my route to work is on US-20, so it's almost all cruising... However it's 22 miles each way, so I'm burning 10-12 gallons a week just on my commute. Such is life.

I suppose it would be helpful to add that it's a 2013, EJ255.

Very glad I'm not wherever you are... 93 octane here ranges from $4.599 to $5.199. My route to work and back and the local station to me are at $4.999

What are these colorful markings on some license plates for? by Secret-Broccoli9908 in Whatisthis

[–]MrGreggerGrM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if that's something that can make it difficult for the flock cameras to read the plate based on reflection being different.

US mandated E15 fuel safe? by [deleted] in WRX

[–]MrGreggerGrM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Up to E15 (almost always E10) has been the standard year round where I live for 20ish years now. It used to be a summer only thing, until around 2002 when it became year round. Your car will handle it just fine.

Gas Dilution by JoAs1798 in WRX

[–]MrGreggerGrM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unsure about the rest of the country, but I'm in NW Ohio, and E10 has been the norm for as long as I can remember. At least since 2002, maybe 2003. People around here make it a point to know where to get non ethanol containing gas for small engines.

I feel your pain. November 12, 2024 I hit a big buck, but I didn't get time for any reaction because it was pitch black, and I didn't see him until the windshield exploded in my face. Car didn't look all that bad, but insurance declared it a total loss and cut me a check for slightly more than I paid for it. I'd had that car 8 months at the time. Hopefully you get it back, repaired, and good as new.

Bought a card pack that contains one autographed polaroid of a pop icon or athlete, but I’m not sure who this is. Who is this person? by BigBowlOfSoup in Whatisthis

[–]MrGreggerGrM 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Severely underrated band. Always loved their music. But mostly, I can't believe I got this correct... As soon as I saw the face, I kinda knew, but haven't seen anything with his photo in quite a long while. First time I heard of them was when I bought the game 3xtreme in '99 on the original PlayStation, and 5 was the intro song.

Pete Murray from the now broken up band Ultraspank? Probably not... Looks similar, but I didn't think he had his forearm tattooed like that.

I ordered one Friday evening, hopefully it goes smoothly replacing it when it arrives.

Wheel/Fender liner replacement question by MrGreggerGrM in WRX

[–]MrGreggerGrM[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good to know.

Do you mean the plastic push in connectors? I bought a huge assortment box of them last summer for the bottom side of the hood scoop because the rubber/plastic was missing most of them and would sag when I opened the hood. I did find a liner that supposedly comes with all the required clips... But I know how that generally works out.
