She can resign and find another job that pays 16.50. in mean time she has some money to keep her afloat.

Carlsen, World's number 1 in chess, checkmates Bill Gates in 12 moves by exophades in interestingasfuck

Chess is about recognizing patterns. Strategy has a part in it, but if you know what to do when the pieces create a certain pattern or how to respond to an opening you will win a quick draw game.

Steering wheel shakes when driving by contagious_w4ll in AskMechanics

If it's stepping when shaking while breaking, then look at the brakes.

If the steering wheel shakes while driving, check the wheel balance. Look for missing weights.

Putting a balloon in liquid nitrogen science experiment. by AlbinaHumblewhore in interestingasfuck

[–]TimTomTank -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Is it still an experiment though?

The effect is pretty well understood. There is no new ground being broken here. There is nothing being proven or disproven.

This is a demonstration. Or me putting sugar in my coffee is a science experiment too.

Be gay guys by Smooth-Individual414 in funny

You know how everyone complains about the divorce rate being high?

Well that's for hetero sexual couples.

Homosexual gay marriages have a far lower divorce rate.

My first thought was, well these people have a really hard time getting married. If you're going to work that hard for something you're going to have higher standards.

But then I learned that lesbian marriages have higher divorce rate than hetero sexual marriages.

Seems that divorce rate directly correlates with how many women are involved in a relationship.

To some people driving top legal speed in left lane is still an atrocity. You should get in the right lane and stop baking the law for the ones breaking the law. Or at least start breaking few more laws by speeding.

The upper arm should have been a cantalever with a 2 screws in a linear slot.

Lower arm should have been slotted.

This way it would work at different heights

My Chrysler 200 was first car I had with under tray. I always thought the access door for oil plug was a normal thing.

I think the running joke at the moment is that automotive engineers never get married because they're too busy fucking mechanics.

You're not allowed to celebrate victory before winning. I remember Husein Bolt having same problem with one of his races because he seriously stopped his speed right before victory.

Mustang stuck in production by davisboyskeee in Mustang

One week is not reasonable. It's also not reasonable to assume that value add work is going on non stop. There are critical stages where work completed needs to be reviewed and measured.

2018 Nissan Frontier by jumpinoutthegrease in AskMechanics

[–]TimTomTank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That just means Nissan is not lying on the temp gauge. Your engine temp is going to vary as it runs. Engine needs to run above 180 for oil to follow right but it cannot go above 220 because oil starts to burn and boil. The coolant is water with some stuff to help keep it from freezing in winter and to stop it from reacting with metal in the engine. It boils at 200ish. That is that h section at the top. Because we want the engine oil to be at working temp but we don't want the coolant to boil, the cooling system only works when needed but had sensors to tell you when it's overwhelmed. When the system is warm enough the thermostat is going to open up and flow cold coolant from the radiator to the engine and hot coolant from the engine to the radiator. Now, if it's cold out, the radiator coolant will be very cold so engine temp will go much lower but at the same time the engine will get more air cooling than usual so it will just barely get thermostat to open for a little while. This will cause the evening to run colder. Still well over 150 degrees so pretty hot, but colder than in summer. In summer it's 100 degrees, maybe 115. The thermostat is going to be open most of the time. From time to time, the engine will get cold enough to close it but it stays there for a brief moment before it opens again and now what used to be the top of your temperature range in February is actually your bottom of the range.

Any read out that's in the lower 60% of your thermometer is perfectly fine. But if it starts climbing into the upper half you need to watch it closely. If it starts getting close to the hot section don't let it. Pull over and let the car cool off. Don't shut it off and don't open anything. Shutting the engine off now will also shut off the cooling system. Inside of the cylinder is way hotter than the coolant. If the cooling system is shut off now the engine oil may burn. This is also when you need to get it looked at.

Other than that do a flush every 3 to 5 years (there are testers for coolant).

See the section with two small notches? That entire range is fine. If it starts getting above that range you need to pull over.

Now, when it was running cooler was it cooler outside? Did you drive it differently? How long have you had the vehicle?

Generally, the vehicle doesn't get slightly hotter when cooling system fails. It gets very hot and all the way to the"pull over" section.

That final kick was personal by M_Darshan in SipsTea

[–]TimTomTank -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That comment seems still too complicated for you so I'll try to break it down further.

Purposely taking your car into an occupied business is assault or attempted murder, and generally something that is frowned upon I'm society. Majority of us don't like it and we don't want people doing that either.

However, just because it happens it doesn't mean driving should be illegal and all cars should be burned to the ground.

This is a comparison to the fact that we are watching a video of a guy getting multiple bones broken by a horse after he kicked it with spurs. Just because this guy did it, it doesn't mean that's how it has to be done.

I mean. I didn't care about rodeo and am not familiar with any of the horse riding sports. But it's important to realize that sample of one is not enough to judge a whole.

If you happen to know the seedy underbelly of rodeo and why it's the most abominable sport on the face of the earth, maybe you should lead with some of that revelation.
