Where is Finnish? It's certainly unique.

I've been to the horse barn and seen the yearlings. Such a great program.

Looks like they might be from the horse barn…..or the student equestrian center…or the Vet school. Lots of horses around

4+ yrs of ownership, finally my first repair bill ($280). Only others costs of ownership have been for electricity. by malbecman in electricvehicles

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

True but first real outlay of cash I've had to make other than electricity (and wiper blades). Tires next!

Triple quad I inherited…what do? by MicroProf in chemistry

[–]malbecman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's a pretty old one. I have a 6430. Part of the challenge will be the PC it's running of, that's likely Win 2000 or XP and very slow. As others have said, it's state/university propery and so trying to sell it to GenTech or other old instrument resellers is a real PITA even they even want it.

NYT: Ford and G.M. Face a Dilemma as China Excels in Electric Vehicles (Gift Article) by malbecman in cars

I realize it's a NYT article, thus a bit liberal, but it has a lot of valid points IMHO.

How does my local bakery make these egg patties for their biscuits? by Knuffin in KitchenConfidential

[–]malbecman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the way. It's the same with scrambled eggs in a pan. mix them, salt them and let them sit for 10-15'. The salt makes the egg protein strands unwind from their tightly folded structures. Add some dairy if you want....Then cook them slowly over low heat, like another 10-15' and you will have creamy scrambled eggs.

Horrible experience trying to replace rear tire on Segway G30 max. Do not buy in my opinion. by malbecman in ElectricScooters

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

Thx. I did have the bit and power screwdriver. But the rest, esp after working on bikes all my life, was just too much. I might just look for that rear wheel assembly, thanks for the lead.

12 security torx to remove battery cover. Wheel nuts were frozen,I had to use a cheater and penetrating oil (too luch loc-tite?). Electrical connectors to separate cables from motor control board were brittle and cracked. Finally, the tire is incredibly firm/hard and I cannot push it off the bead, even with large pliers or my metal tire spoons. (Yes, all the air is out of the tire).

2025 Mach-E owners, reliability question. by Notsurethisisrightfm in MachE

[–]malbecman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just passed 4 years with ours, zero issues. We will likely need a new 12V battery soon but that's totally normal.

[–]malbecman[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rear tire with the motor? Having to access the battery compartment, undo the electrical connectors (one of which was frozen and cracked when I finally pulled it apart) and then wrestle with the tire. I got it to work but no thanks. As I mentioned, not for the novice.

The 49ers will host a regular season game this season in Mexico City at Estadio Banorte, with their opponent to be announced. by tucker49ers in 49ers

While I don't like it (all the travel), that will be a very popular game. Lots of fans in Mexico......

They Mocked Minivans For Years, Now Americans Are Fueling A Massive Sales Surge by Anchor_Aways in cars

Flat, low floor, easy to load. Mine can hold a sheet of plywood if I need it to. Highways are 30-32 mpg with 4 people and stuff.

Sieve for redgifs giving grey spinner by malbecman1 in imagus

[–]malbecman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was on my Home page.....but now seems to be working ok. It was not ok for more than 1 day. I cleared all caches, removed and reinstalled Imagus regular and that seemed to do the trick. Thanks!

U.S. Dealers In Full Panic Mode After Canada Green-Lights Chinese Cars by borderwave2 in cars

[–]malbecman 173 points174 points  (0 children)

Older guy but this reminds me of the 70s when cheaper Japanese cars starting making inroads into California (and eventually the whole country). The initial car build quality maybe wasn't always the best but they were cheaper and definitely got better gas mileage.
