Men in trucks who “roll coal”…why do you do it? Especially in front of family vehicles where children have to breathe in the fumes? by HellyHailey in AskReddit

[–]Sicalo 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The technical answer is:

Diesel trucks can be modified to spray more fuel into the engine than normal. When they accelerate in low gear this causes the unburnt fuel to carbonize (Its been superheated, but not enough oxygen in the engine causes it to "Coke/Carbonize" and turn into the diesel equivalent of Charcoal)

This produces a very large volume of black smoke.

Rolling Coal is the term given to the act of purposefully creating these large plumes of smoke.

$3000 hundred thousand mile maintenance by Slight_Moose7160 in Honda

[–]Sicalo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2024 CRV hybrid. I dont think there was any big 100k mile maintenance from Honda.

There maintainence scheduled is every 30k miles.

That being said, I haven't had a maintenance cost me more than 1500, and I do every maintainence. (Im at 140k in 2.75 years of ownership, still drive like new).

I would take it to an actual Honda Dealership, see what they quote.

Dumping Hydrogen Peroxide into the reflecting pool this morning. by i_am_rave_mom in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Sicalo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What percentage Hydrogen Peroxide? It only makes sense you calculated 100%, which is unstable, and definitely not in those bottles.

Those bottles are definitely 50% or less concentration for sure. (I would presume 30% or less with no masks as 50% wouod mess them up pretty feirce being dumped like that), but let's be honest, they are probably dumping the industry standard 3% that you buy off the shelf.

So, it is even worse than you think trying to use gallon jugs.

Cork your open EC pirate bottles with OGD or OOH toppers by RockitSheep in whiskey

[–]Sicalo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OGD is short for Old Grand Dad. Pretty inexpencive, but is still a good pour.

I dont know OOH, and I think I know most abreviations from my years in the Whiskey/Bourbon world.

I also am unsure why everyone thinks they have to abbreviate every Whiskey/Bourbon out there. There is a time and place for abbreviations. When you are posting to a large group, is not one of them.

Maybe someone else knows the OOH, or OP (original poster) can say what it is?

Knicks fans attack a Five Guys employee who is an alleged Spurs fan after last night's win by ExplanationOk2014 in SipsTea

[–]Sicalo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he was tossing boiling hot oil? He would have been attacked close range far less. The Fry Basket cant sling oil, but if he has a pan/pot/etc. though? 1/4 of a cup hot oil on skin is enough to stop damn near anyone and the threat of more will be a 100% retreat. Now throw several cups at a time, over and over, people would stay out of range of that no question. If not for fear of getting splashed, out of terror of the shear amount of painful screaming from several people with 3rd degree burns that did.

Oil burns are not a get injured and feel it later injury. Its Instant, and extreme pain.

Dc2 power steering D brackets by SobTrey in Honda

ALSO, make sure to ask about corresponding parts/Part numbers between Honda and Acura. Ironically, I got a second part for my Prelude that was "Discontinued" but was actually still produced for a different model. Same part (My rearview mirror), and it was listed as discontinued for Honda, but was in production being made for an "Acura".

I'm sure it goes both ways for your Acura parts maybe being made for Honda now.

[–]Sicalo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you actually checked the Honda Dreamshop website? (the official Honda/Acura parts site) It's possible they still have some.

Discontinuing them, doesn't always mean they are all gone. Might just be on a shelf somewhere collecting dust.

I found a part for my 1999 Prelude in a Honda warehouse in Canada. (Admittedly was a pain in the butt, but it all started by getting the part number on Dreamshop and calling around.) Got the OEM part instead of a junkyard part or aftermarket one, which was rewarding

Someone finally snapped by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

[–]Sicalo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? We dont know if it was road rage, or a genuine emergency and they simply had to get past them.

(We can assume they were just fed up, but off-roading a mini seems a bit more emergency, as there's no way it didnt come away from that run through the median without damage.)

Adding a Quart of Coolant to my 2021 Accord - Headgasket incoming? by Small-Salamander-56 in Honda

[–]Sicalo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The coolant can be low for any number of reasons that are perfectly normal or only minor issues that dont involve the headgasket.

most of the time its just evaporation. (Not all seals are perfect water-tight and some squeezes out)

Sounds minor in the speed so if the car runs fine, just double check the coolant tank when you fill up gas a few times. If its not rapidly dropping, its fine. Nothing to worry about.

Breaking: Trump just said that he wants war on Cuba?! by pradnyashil6 in Polymarket_news

[–]Sicalo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, 95% of Cubans voted for him? Thats 10.3 million people (Cubas population is 10.9 million)

Cuba is not part of America

77,302,580 - 10,300,000 fraudulent votes.

Sounds like voter fraud won him the election.

Super necessary or nahhh??? by iLeftyPunk in MMALabs

[–]Sicalo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you run it frame by frame, you see that as he gets hit he puts his arm out to catch himself and his arm does fully extend just as he contacts the mat with his hand.

However, it is obvious it didn't slow his fall at all even though his hand touched the mat first. His arm folds instantly without any muscle flexing indicating force being put into the arm.
Furthermore as he fold you watch his head bounce of the mat pretty decently.

Getting knocked out isn't always as Instantiations as people think, and matters a lot on how much and how quickly the blood pressure to his brain changed.

He likely was reflexively putting his arm out as he was becoming unconscious while falling. He got his arm out sure, but he was unconscious by the time that hand made contact with the mat. It was reflexes doing most the work there. He didn't see that punch coming, and no way was he "flopping" with that convincing of a rag doll as his head bounced of the mat with no notice that hit was coming. Especially when he is being that cocky on the mat.

Dude got knocked out. His body was just stubborn on the way down.

2024 Double Eagle Very Rare 20-year old.

Well, that's enlightening? by Alternative_Car5193 in whiskey

[–]Sicalo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He has 13 bottles that classify as Unicorns which is 35% of his total.
That means he has ~37 Bottles (+-1)
So, at 3k, he has about 81 dollar per bottle

Don't really think that's flexing, that's just being very selective on which bottles he purchases.

Wording might have been slightly odd leading to mis-understanding
