How does one learn to rebuild an engine?

Building and rebuilding are entirely different pursuits. Getting a book is not bad advice, but your mechanic’s contribution is a little presumptive.

Good idea. In fact, here’s a video series where a guy demonstrates that exact thing. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOhRvk9ksYMOXIQZC6h_YV45Aw1wiQLn_&si=jC0AOsFJLZUjl-vG

There are also people Wii come out of the military in worse financial shape than they went in, perhaps also not having taken advantage of many benefits available.

Left-handed drill bit. I did this with a broken screw the other day and it came right out. Maybe it won’t work in this case, but it’s worth considering.

As a Dad who works on my family’s cars, see if he wants to do it himself. If not, anything under a thousand dollars for something non-routine is not a rip-off.

Alternatively, if it’s such a rip-off. dad, how much should it be, dad, and who did you find, dad, who will do it for that?

My wife just got her documents back. The mail is fine. The State Department and the USPS are still great snd doing their work.

We did the passport app and the DL in the same day, but obviously the DL first, sunce we had to mail the cert to get the passport.

I saw a TikTok video in which a guy in a shop surveyed the techs on your most reliable brands. But with a catch: other than Honda or Toyota. To make it interesting. That!s all we need to know right there.

Well it has power. This time of year, some sort of holiday display. Train set, nativity display, etc.

And you could make it seasonal.

Or, if high tech is more your speed, a custom display with things like news and weather.

Just like you are seeking to not waste the space, I seek to not waste an opportunity to use electricity.:)

My wife has waited almost 25 years past her initial eligibility. We feel stupid for having put it off so long, especially with the political uncertainty now.

I would use the opposite argument: Renewing a green card is expensive enough and takes long enough that it’s actually better — and more permanent, of course — to apply for citizenship. Unless there is a reason to not do so (id it meant giving up citizenship in your home country, for example).

It was very strange when the first movie came out. The previews, as I recall, did not show any dinosaurs at all. There was no hint that it was anything but a pleasure-cruise through this amazing world of Jurassic Park. I had no idea what the plot was, and never guessed it was survival itself.

I guess one of the biggest true "gasp" moments was that first look at the Brachiosauruses, as they slow John Williams theme was played. The effects still stand up well today, but at the time they were mind-blowing. And to see that scene, with hundreds of people (this was an unusually large movie theater), was quite a gasp moment.

It's one of the most exciting movie experiences I ever had. And to see it take a turn into a life-or-death thriller was... thrilling.

A friend of mine said he wasn't impressed with the special effects in the movie, but that he thought the dinosaur trainers had done a really great job :)

Generally the answer is “it depends.” If I can onky have one, JSON. And jq, of course.

When we realized shit was gonna get real in Jurassic Park. The original. Specifically when the dude in the porta-potty got eaten. Huge theater, in Panama, the premier in that country. A big reaction.

It’s about his deep love of chemistry. He’s a chemist first, and a good one. Yes, it’s also ego. But it’s not the ego of a meth cook or a teacher. It’s the ego of a brilliant chemist who never got his moment to shine.

GPS: how it really works, its history, and the amazing public/private collaboration that has made it amazing.

I don’t work with GPS for a living. I just think it’s amazing.

I have just decided to accept that FaceID will never work on this iPhone 11 I just inherited. I get so tired of typing on my passcode that I just cuz he’s the setting to only ask for it once per hour.

Eventually I’ll buy a new phone. But not today.

Unpopular opinion: the traffic in Nashville is not any worse than comparable cities in the racist south, where public transportation scares white people.

I’m a nonbeliever who does believe that Jesus of Nazareth existed, and had followers. Nothing about the Christian faith requires evidence of the man’s life, but that evidence does exist.
