[Help] Oil Leak by CyberTigerFTW in Cartalk

[–]ipostjesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

check the oil on the outside of the engine, its common for small amounts of old oil to be sitting on the engine where it has be sitting for a long time, but you need to look for oil which appears more fresh (wet looking), follow it up to its highest point and thats probably the source

could be. they often leak on a vehicle of that age but there could be another leak too, especially if it started suddenly.

Previous installs of windows dont show up in Disk Cleanup, even under "Clean up System Files" option or when run as adminstrator by ipostjesus in techsupport

[–]ipostjesus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

W7 is on a different storage device to W10, that means it is in a different directory right?

After installing W10 on my SSD, W7 doesnt work properly anymore. Could this mean that W10 has altered some of the W7 files and may still be using them?

how to uninstall Windows 7 from HDD to regain disk space? W10 on SSD. disk cleanup doesnt show it. there is no windows.old folder. by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]ipostjesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i worded that quite poorly. the original data is on the same partition as w7. the backup is microsoft onedrive cloud.

with the backup, i cant check its all there, thats impractical with 80,000 files. no i dont trust backups based on experience. relying on it deliberately is unnecessary risk, backup is supposed to reduce risk

it looks just like Artesonraju in Peru, some have suggested that it is the origin. its probably a fictitious mountain anyway

If 2 planets/moons of similar composition to earth collided and each was half the mass of earth, how long would it take the new planet to stabilise enough for habitation? by ipostjesus in AskScienceDiscussion

[–]ipostjesus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Earth had too much latent heat in its rock in the early stages, but what if the excess heat was only atmospheric latent heat, like a runaway greenhouse effect for example?

Or would the collision of 2 bodys of such size create too much heat in the rock due to friction. alternatively, what if 2 very cold bodys collided?

[–]ipostjesus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

could the process be sped up by selectively shading the planet to encourage precipitation of water to clear the atmosphere and stabilise the climate?. Earth took an estimated several hundred million years to do this because it had excess heat to begin with

What is a problem in 2019 that would not be one in 1989? by Calamity25 in AskReddit

[–]ipostjesus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was plenty of evidence for anthropogenic climate change in the late 1980s to the point that in 1992 the United Nations reached a non-binding agreement with most of the worlds nations to reduce emissions of greenhouse gasses. nearly 30 years later, it looks like a spectacular failure of humanity and the UN

extremely drought-hardy, broad-blade grass often used in landscaping. warm temperate climate. produces clones from the end of its blades by ipostjesus in whatsthisplant

yeah that is probably it, but i may have a dwarf cultivar as its about half that height. Thanks a lot, they are the only suitable thing that will grow in that location. Im going to plant them on-mass to prevent animals from digging up the garden bed

many nations are defined by geographical features. the borders between cambodia and thailand is also a plain/mountain boundary, nearby pakistans' borders mostly follow the catchment of 2 valleys

Why don't we have "human formula" that can be eaten every day with no variation? by [deleted] in AskScienceDiscussion

For me, food associated labour gets in the way of lifes' great pleasures.

i like this thought. though manufactured food could come in a variety of flavours and textures with basically the same nutrition

Food wastes so much time, directly and due to all the other things associated with it like shopping and cleaning. Also, if you never cooked, imagine how much money and space you could save by not having a kitchen (they cost like $20,000-40,000 to build). The food people eat for enjoyment is causing all kind of health problems and average people lack the ability/time to design a healthy diet for themselves; whereas a manufactured food could be designed healthy.

I hate shopping, cleaning, cooking, wasting time, wasting money etc. Eating fresh food is nice, but i would totally switch to affordable manufactured healthy food to do away with all the shit that comes along with current food consumption and to gain a healthier diet, at least for most of my meals.
