You're the goddamn idiot if you thought abstaining from voting would help anything. Hope you're proud of yourself shithead

Yes. You are describing a sandwich, not a hot dog.

Bourbon is only made in Kentucky!

I had to look that up, because it didn't sound right. Turns out it's 248.93 pesos per day, not per hour

You picked a car with a small engine (for its time anyway). I don't think a 64.5 mustang was ever considered a fast car.

The engines I've seen with hydraulic lifters do not have anything to adjust.

Unless you're talking about cleaning out the oil ports when they start to stick, but I wouldn't call that an adjustment.

Could you give an example? I'm curious

(Not a professional, just interested in cars)

I wouldn't say the computer adjusts the valves, variable valve timing serves a completely different function than an old fashioned valve adjustment.

It's true that most lifters are hydraulic nowadays, and self-adjust by filling with oil. So your point still stands, it's just mechanical, not computer controlled.

My 2017 Honda V6 does require valve adjustments, but I doubt many people actually do it themselves though. And most people probably don't have it done at all.

Confections? Like donuts?

I thought MacOS being the most user friendly was its only claim to fame.

Aren't cigarettes like $15 a pack there? That probably has something to do with it.

Every microwave I've had, you hit the power button then the number corresponding to the power level you want.

Then what exactly is your last comment supposed to mean?

Disturbing that you have to be a citizen to vote? I thought that was a given.

Yes, I am aware that there are a few municipalities out there that allow non citizens to vote, and I'm not necessarily opposed to that, but I do find it strange.

I certainly wouln't move to another country and expect to be allowed to vote without being a citizen!

Inflation IS the result of supply and demand (and other market forces such as the velocity of money).

You would need a mechanism to control the value of the currency to prevent inflation. Maybe an institution that offers loans could achieve this by adjusting the interest rate.

It would have to be a government entity, you wouldn't want this responsibility to be in the hands of anyone with a profit motive. Maybe some kind of reserve bank operated by a federal government. We could call it the Federal Reserve.

What do those two things have to do with each other?
