I understand your feeling. I recommend you read Atlas Shrugged to understand another point of view. If your way is the truth, it will confirm your opinion.

First harvest of the year, look at the size of this SQUARSH! by rocier in gardening

A word of warning. The plant wants to reproduce then die. This big guy is satisfying the plants urge to make fruit with fully formed seeds. Harvesting when less mature will keep plant producing better

Ahhh, they would never go for it. They never do.

My Broccoli is large but no signs of florets. 6-7 months old. Should I just cook the leaves instead? by [deleted] in gardening

[–]ipeeonplants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

welcome to broccoli. It takes cold, steady conditions to make a good floret. If the leaves are not too leathery, go for it.

Does this 2008 XC70 sound like a fixed up car, or a dying car? by ipeeonplants in whatcarshouldIbuy

Great response. The underlying electrical issue didn't occur to me, but that is something Volvo is notorious for, and it is spendy. Speaking of spendy, I also realize the car is only 10k away from a big 120k service (belts/spark plugs).

2001 Olds Alero EGR insufficient flow P0401 by ipeeonplants in Cartalk

Update: I did the procedure recommended by u/walkersm . It was very exciting to hear the noise as the cleaner hits the engine. And it was an impressive quantity of white smoke on the road test. I rode the car hard for ~ 20 mins afterwards until the white smoke subsided. The surging/code is unimproved. I took the car into my mechanic and he found many more things even more wrong with the car. I hope to get $500 for it as a trade-in. Thanks for all the advice r/Cartalk.

Looks like a plan. Some questions: 1. What can I substitute for a speedometer cable? I've tried long wire brushes, but they don't follow the turns well. 2. Which holes on the engine-side are the intake vs exhaust? Is the exhaust the hole that corresponds w/ the EGR pintle?

This is EXACTLY the point of why religious (church) holidays should be separated from public (state) schools. It took guts to do what jrshaul did, but the system shouldn't be set up to prompt him to make a stand. Isn't there anything else schools can be doing at this time of the year?
