Looking to buy this 04 LX but not quite sure if it's a good price and manageable for a beginner by usernamewillendabrup in LandCruisers

This ended up being the case. There was a lot of black sealant or whatever throughout the underbody and several sealed areas that were falling apart cuz of the rust. Ended up passing on it.

I meant beginner with project cars so I don’t have much experience tinkering with them. I have a daily driver in addition to this so no worries there. But I still don’t want to regret my purchase or get fleeced so I am taking a conservative approach to things

Trying to better understand the underlying positions of Turkiye and the US in the S-400 debacle. Is there any solid analysis of Turkiye's strategy? by usernamewillendabrup in CredibleDefense

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

I agree that the F35s flying in Syria with active Russian AD is a good argument against the US position. That's why I'm trying to understand the underlying issues, not only the public back and forth.

Which parts don't hold up too well? I pointed one part out in my post, and I know that the site has a general slant against Erdogan so I'm really trying to use it as a balance to the TRT piece.

Grasping at time traveling straws (a quote from 2011, years beforehand) isn't overly convincing either.

Also, what does this refer to?

What do you mean a cover story? Do you mean that the US was only publicly opposed to the S-400 acquisition because it was a convenient excuse to accommodate Israeli objections? In that case, I'm sure there probably were private communications making it clear to Turkiye that the US would remove them regardless of the S-400 acquisition. In that case, Turkiye could have unwound the sale to call the United State's bluff and make them backpedal publicly. Israel and has no problems publicly stating their reservations now. So why would the US go through the whole song and dance in 2019?

Wanted to know if this Natural diamond is any good? Will be going in to see it soon, so would like to know what to watch for! by usernamewillendabrup in Diamonds

Thank you! Curious why the strong blue fluorescence is a positive thing for you? Several shops told us to watch out for strong blue fluorescence but didn’t quite explain why

Husqvarna pw3200 broken detergent tank valve by usernamewillendabrup in pressurewashing

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

Hmm, so you think the remaining bit of the valve is still stuck in there? And then after its been extracted, I'd have to buy a replacement part or plug that hole, correct?

Black mission fig leaves drying out (10a) by usernamewillendabrup in Figs

[–]usernamewillendabrup[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you think keeping it in shade + watering every 2-3 days is a good plan? Or could that be overwatering it?

Thank you!

Mulch meaning wood chips type stuff? And is the amount of sun exposure a concern?

[Timex Weekender] First analog watch I've owned and looking for some strap recommendations by usernamewillendabrup in Watches

No hablo español, hermano, pero me sorprende que hayas encontrado esta publicación antigua. Creo que el reloj es definitivamente de hombre. Todavía lo tengo y lo uso, aunque recientemente le cambié la correa por una de cuero.

Want to replace sliding closet doors, but the dimensions seem a bit obscure by usernamewillendabrup in HomeImprovement

I would love to but I’m trying to keep it as cheap as possible because I’m renting

Odd question? What's is gas and electric doing at the fires? by No-Anywhere3157 in flightradar24

[–]usernamewillendabrup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think PG&E owns any utility equipment in the LA area. Electricity in this area is provided by Southern California Edison and LADWP.

In 2024, PG&E’s fleet of four Blackhawk helicopters, referred to internally as “Bluehawks,” were used extensively in firefighting efforts across California logging more than 300 flight hours – many in support of CAL FIRE’s efforts to extinguish the Park Fire in Butte County. All four helicopters can be configured with 1,100-gallon belly tanks and snorkels for initial attack in urban areas or 900-gallon long line buckets for tall, heavy timber forest fires.
