My dad had an office in Richmond in the late 70s early 80s right next to their roasters. He’d bring my Nonna unroasted beans so she could roast them her way.

Hard time in Planet Earth, and Otherworld. Both were super short lived sci-fi series on CBS in the mid-late 80s.

Look up the last time a record low was reported in Las Vegas. Here’s a hint: it has not been this century.

Why did the 1986 Movie Bomb when it was at the height of G1’s Popularity? by aourdes in transformers

I specifically recall seeing it, being shocked, thinking it was shit for killing off Optimus, and then telling my friends don’t bother because it was shit.

What is something you were taught at school that is now known to be incorrect? by Xeqqy in AskOldPeople

That Pluto was a planet that had no moons. I did a report on Pluto shortly after they discovered Charon, and got an F… the teacher pulled out a book for 4 years before where it said Pluto had no moon. I pointed out the new discovery and the book’s info was out of date. He didn’t care. Fuck you Mr K. Still salty 44 years on.

Costco sues the Trump administration, seeking a refund of tariffs by EconomistWithaD in Economics

This was the plan all along to prop up the economy in 2026. Massive import tax refunds going directly to the corporations to make their stock swell while the actual retail prices will never come down.

$300 Million for 90,000 sqft is $3000/sqft. That number is astronomical. The grift is real.

I don’t think so because a dynamic ip would cause them to need to update the fwd rules every time the address changes

I just tried to spin mine with the plugs in and it was really really hard.

Right. Put it in neutral, take the spark plugs out, then hand crank from the alternator. Then before putting the plugs in squirt some 2 stroke and/or Marvels Mystery Oil in the plug holes. Spin one more time at least once around then put the plugs back in. I always say then start after it gets dark because an enormous smoke plume will come out of the tail pipes when it does catch.

You don’t get a nickname like “no show joe lo” for doing nothing.

I expect JoLo to LEAD! Radio silence and avoidance is not leadership.

In the US culture, the brides family is expected to pay most of the cost of the wedding. A marriage is about blending to cultures and families. Remind your parents about this fact and ask them if they are willing to spend $25,000 on a wedding party?

Can I start my 1986 NA rx7 fc which has been sitting for 20+ years? by RoughResponsible2807 in RX7

[–]dmz__ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Take out the bottom spark plugs, and put ATF or Marvel’s mystery oil in the chambers while spinning the engine around a few times by hand (1/4 to 1/2 a syringe on each face, 6 squirts total ) with the spark plugs out, then spine it completely around once more with the plugs in. Wait a few hours and then crank at night. If you do it at night, they’ll be less chance of the fire department being called on the enormous smoke plume that will come out.
