This is probably good advice but that is exactly what is wrong with this. There's a negative gain to questioning if the person indeed even did something wrong or opening it to debate. There's positive gain for those piling on to t

From someone living in NY and having watched bills like this... Last time this came up it silently died without a vote. This vote is probably symbolic and it will languish in the Assembly forever. It is nice they voted for this overwhelming

That is fine but probably not good for most users. It is easy to tell it not to filter those apps. You can make exceptions. Just shutting it off totally is like changing a router to allow all ports and traffic in because it blocked a port y

They know that they can and will be found, and are running scared. In general ransomware works because it takes a lot of resources to find the criminals behind it. And generally there's not enough resources to do this. But once it hits

I'm running 14 lbs boost yes. And yes it was piece of mind that it's much harder to crack and unlike the aluminum block I can bore it more than 5-10 thou if it needed it again. Downside is 100lbs more but this is in a 4200lb car s

I'd concur with that. Note this was one of the notorious to fail JATCO nissan/mitsubishi transmissions. Blowing fluid through with pressure makes no sense. Sediment sitting in pans does not affect operation until it is agitated in

I'm not denying the metric system. Just in the USA it is thou period. and if the measurement is a consistent unit of whatever it works. Also GM (and Holden in oz) are inch based. So using metric will subject you to mistakes possibly. I

I could do a better job than them in all due respect. I care about my job more than anyone on earth. I know they do good work but if we could both measure to the same specs and know we did it right, how could I do it worse than them. we hav

Yes you are referring to another insanely complex thing that is very cheap relative to making one of cost due to mass production. But it isn't machined metal :) I didn't say I don't appreciate electronics too.

Parking brakes for disc brakes are usually in the center of the disc rotor (like a mini drum) with shoes. Some others like Chryslers have implemented hybrid brake cylinders

Yes you are right as far as LS engine builders there's loads. I could have ordered a crate engine from Texas Speed and been done with it. And yes for hours of my time spent vs hours of money saved I lost a ton of money. But all it take

I built an LSX (Aftermarket GM) iron block engine (V8 LS) for a CTS V. I had to get some very precise tools (Have to measure to 10,000ths) or they were useless for bearing clearances and verifying cylinder diameters. My cylinders were 4.155

I just built an engine for my car. One thing I gained an appreciation for was how CHEAP cars and engines are. There's probably nothing else with as precise machining that is as inexpensive. Engine cylinders are honed to accuracies that

No not really. The literal field hospitals were not done before the spike subsided, and the ship saw only a few patients. The ship was specifically NOT for covid patients, and so few patients that were not COVID were coming in. And yes ther

No we call those a more succinct term: local processes. We call "serverless" for processes running not locally that do not require standing up a server that you care about for, are billed by usage only ($0 for none, infinity for i

Inflation is low measured by the CPI and that is because most of the things measured in that index are made by people that are NOT increasing their wealth. It is a large transfer of wealth to the more wealthy who then benefit by lower tax r

We used Mesos as our first container orchestration stack. It worked OK but Kubernetes came along and offered a one stop solution for everything. In Mesos you had to use separate projects for container management (Marathon), discoverability

As a whole this is true and could probably be bested. But it would have to be by many magnitudes of order to have people accept it. There's a feeling that isn't necessarily true that one can control their destiny driving and avoid

Coffeescript was a good thing when we only had ES5. In fact many of the things it championed made it into ES6 and beyond. I think with TypeScript it isn't just a shiny thing. If it does substantially change I believe it will be to brea
