I own a 2021 Honda and it definitely shuts off after 10 mins for me.

Fwiw, on current Hondas the engine will only run for a set period, I believe 10 mins, unless the fob is used to reset the timer or the driver enters the cabin with the fob and presses the brake and start button.

Fair enough, and yeah searching for 'crocs' unsurprisingly returns a boatload of shoe results. This is a broader issue I think, in that coming up with good search terms that are likely to return the results you need is a bit of a

I'm not sure that the difficulty of performing a trick is related to its utility, and it doesn't really make sense to compare the usefulness of high beams and foglamps since they are indicated in completely different situations. F

Two months ago I sold a dead-simple Toyota truck I'd driven for 14 years and bought a new, loaded Honda. The difference in the complexity is of course astonishing. The yota didn't even have usb. You could climb into the engine com

Heathkit was my intro to electronics in the 1960s and early 70s. My father gave me a Heathkit electronics lab that consisted of a board with a bunch of components, spring connectors, various lengths of pre-stripped and tinned wires, and a p

There will always be a cohort which values living in the metropolis as opposed to just working for a company that has an address there, but clearly the growth in remote work is allowing workers in all sorts of industries to spread out somew

Let me get this straight: someone posts slanderous lies about another individual in order to defame them and perhaps profit from the defamation; google is exploited to drive the slander to the top of the search results; and you think any at

That's for sure. I don't know anything about this specific application but having worked in the shipping business and in commercial fishing I can attest to the problems with marine growth and corrosion, not to mention electrolytic

If you're interested in shipping I highly recommend the YouTube channel of Chief Engineer Makoi https://www.youtube.com/c/ChiefMAKOi . He has been talking about Mr. Aisha's situation for some time now. Really

I've used ParkMobile to pay for parking around Rutgers in New Brunswick, NJ where one of our daughters was enrolled for a time. Was recently receiving an unusual amount of SMS spam. Seems like this might be a possible explanation.

Guess I'll share my own story: close to seven years ago now I was nudging up against 270 pounds and had a 44 inch waist. I decided to make some changes and started walking 2 miles a night. This is less than half the distance spoken of

As a history buff and occasional amateur explorer of ruins in the U.S. I think that if a thing that has any value is left lying about humans will loot it. The majority of people don't care much about history at all in my experience. Th

For what it's worth my in-laws specifically chose to buy a second home in a mobile home park. I don't know all their reasons but the low cost of the land was part of it. I've seen their "trailer" and it's quite
