My original clutch is at 197k miles, and I downshift to decelerate until i use the brakes the last 10-20'. The clutch is much more difficult to replace on my car; (i've done the brake discs 2x -- track days), If you're relati

To bring up AI, and the eventual un-subsidizing of costs; if $9 a year is too much for docker... Then even the $20/mo (June) price tag is too high for AI, much less $200 (August), or $2000? (post subsidizing)

I disagree with the article substantially; the truth is that Dodge is a dying brand, and the charger and challenger were never practical muscle cars - mostly because Dodge is less part of any racing series. The Ford Mustang is having a resu

"Ice cream is still ice cream, and soda is still soda" Is a hefty dig on ice cream ... Which I compared nutritionally to a "Greek yogurt" last week... And the ice cream won, dietary fiber, lower carbs.. and only slightly

Waymos, or Uber blacks... have a lot going for them. Initially, the 2008 cut off for Ubers, and the related on site inspections led to high quality; but over time, I've been in more vehicles with check engine and other lights on -- and

But antibiotics in the US are still over prescribed by doctors. There really are few cases for them for the mostly healthy adult; and they wreak havoc on your microbiome for what we're finding out is years. I know many people who will

When people think of burning, they think of a trash / leaf pile in a yard, not an arc reactor or modern turbinrengine; but that doesn't mean we don't fly jet engines or run power plants
