About time Ford is held accountable for their dogshit engines, although investigations should have started in the early 2000s. The Ford triton v8s of the late 90s and 00s were prone to blowing sparkplugs out of their cylinder heads (taking all the threads with them) so often that parts stores advertised the repair kits prominently. Ford never recalled a single engine for the problem and faced no repercussions.

Why do they need to use fresh water to fill the locks? I get that pumping salt water may come with a bit more maintenance but it just seems like a waste to use all that fresh water.

It would allow engineers to create glass panes for windows that not just darken on demand, but selectively filter certain wave lengths of light. The windows could filter out infrared light while allowing visible light through, which would keep buildings cooler without eliminating natural light. The compound, tungsten oxide hydrate, can can selectively absorb different wave lengths of light depending on the current and amount of lithium ions applied to the material.

Having a fan blow into your face really helps too. I cant play more than 10 or 15 minutes without one, but with I'm fine for hours.

And the distinction between those two is???? A religion is merely a cult that has gathered enough followers to go mainstream.

That's the cool part about chemistry, when used in this synthesis the dichloromethane becomes a whole new (presumably safe, but we'll see what further testing turns up) molecule. Sodium is explosive and Chlorine is highly corrosive, but combine them and you get regular old table salt. Just because a reagent is dangerous doesn't mean the products it creates will be.

Edit: I just did a little research and it looks like 3,3′-Diindolylmethane (DIM) is safe for human consumption. It's already sold as a dietary supplement. It's marketed to help with metabolism of estrogens but we all know how "trustworthy" the dietary supplement market is.

Or sink the damn yacht.

The only thing that wants anything to do with Canada Gooses.... is Canada Mooses

I'm well aware of how tolerances work, I've worked in automotive manufacturing since 2016 and currently run the maintenance department at a tier 2 manufacturing facility.
Injection molding is able to have tolerances in the hundredth of millimeter range true. But metal stamping is not as precise.

Sub 10 micron. Jfc, this idiot doesn't have a clue about auto manufacturing. Even the most precise parts of auto manufacture don't require "sub 10 micron" tolerances. Engine bearing journals are about the most crucial fit in a car and they are generally on the order of 50 microns. Electric cars can use even wider margins because they mostly use ball and roller bearings instead of babbit bearings.

But... Since were talking about the body panels on the worlds dumbest truck the point is even more moot. John Delorian was stamping out stainless panels in the 80s on a shoe string budget,
but the worlds richest dipshit wants to make it out to be the automotive equivilant to brain surgery.

I'm honestly surprised that he lasted this long

This is really exciting news, The severe lack of viable transplant organs has been a serious hinderance to the medical profession. If the process can be perfected this has the potential to save millions of lives.

I really enjoy the comics, but I don't think it translated to show format very well. I watched the first two episodes but it just didn't make me laugh like the comics do.

Not all of us. I'm Ky born and raised and a trans woman. While we do have an over abundance of religious bigots about a third of us are decent people.

Yes nobody showed up to the most attended football match in New Zealand's history, you fucking idiot.

The father-son/daughter incest was also an interesting choice.

Checkers/rally's fries are my #1, plus I think they're the only ones on this list that backup their fries with a guarantee.

Cisgender kids have been put on puberty blockers to treat disorders like precocious puberty for decades. We know the long term effects of the these drugs and they are minimal. Surgery is only an option for 16 year olds at the youngest and that's only with the consent of both parents. All this outrage about "saving the children" is BS that is only manufactured to draw the uninformed over to the bigots cause. Every major medical association in the US and Europe has proven time and again that gender affirming care saves lives. Whether you're just ignorant or a willfully hateful bigot I don't know, but taking time to learn the actual facts of the matter would probably be a good idea.

As someone who has received one of his pillows as a gift, it does not surprise me in the least that the company is going under. Aside from his crazier than a shithouse rat politics, the lumpy sacks of industrial waste he passes off as pillows are the most uncomfortable thing I've ever laid my head on.
