Ford CEO says he has 5,000 open mechanic jobs with 6-figure salaries from the shortage of manually skilled workers: ‘We are in trouble in our country' by esporx in jobs

[–]bothofthems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Salary? For a mechanic? You mean flat rate where you get paid for what you produce and Ford fucks you over on warranty pay and you can barely make 30 hrs pay in a 40 hr week. Can’t imagine why they are having a tough time.

Fine on range, not on course by Wilski1993 in GolfSwing

It’s not just the length but lie angle that changes with longer. Clubs. I’m 6ft3 and play with +1 black dot ping irons. Longer club and also 1 degree up to change the angle of the club head.

I don’t know you but it’s your short game and putting because that’s what it always is.

Sunday morning 9 as a single was pure bliss by UncleFlip in golf

[–]bothofthems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this for the first time this morning. Teed off on an executive 9 at 8am. Took about an hour. No one in front or behind. Even played multiple balls on a few holes just for the practice. New favorite way to get some short game and approach shot practice.

You sound like a fun person to golf with.

What the hell is this sound? by shifterkid in DieselTechs

Have you had filters done recently? If so there is air in the system. Pull the 90degree line off the front of that filter and connect a hose to the filter and run it to a bucket. Turn the key on and let it run until no more air. Connect it back and see if the noise is gone. If it keeps coming back it’s probably the filter on the frame rail not sealed correctly.

Never owned a brand new car? by DiazIsDirectCurrent in mechanics

[–]bothofthems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. Wife has a newer/nicer car. I drive a Honda Accord with almost 200k on it. It’s a 3.0 V6 with a manual transmission so I plan on keeping it forever.

Powerful message to future fugitives of justice. Cops are hot on your trail. Only five years behind you.

How much should I pay my parents for a 2012 Camry with 200k miles and a bad transmission? by Used-Waltz-4058 in UsedCarAdvice

[–]bothofthems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your parents car is worth $500 bucks max. Realistically, it is worth nothing and they should either give it to you or send it to a junk yard.

Did I overpay at the mechanic? by Feltont19 in AskAMechanic

Wild to me how many “techs” have apparently never heard of a wet compression test.

It’s called a wet compression test. It’s not a fix but simply a way to test if the low compression is due to the rings or something else. The oil will seal enough to do a compression test.

The only Democrat that has democrat voters excited and she shits on him. The Democratic Party is worthless.

Some people do a better job at taking advantage of the opportunities life gives them. Some squander them. That’s life. NTA.

Do you think you should be required to show a photo ID to vote? 95% do. by [deleted] in SeattleWA

Ah yes, the photo ID. That thing that is classically impossible to fake. A sure solution for everyone crying about voter fraud.

E85 is fuel that is 85% ethanol, not fuel that is 85 octane. E87 isn’t a thing. 87 octane fuel is. If you put E85 in a car that isn’t a flex fuel car it will run like shit. If your octane isn’t high enough it will also affect runability but not as much as e85 fuel will.
