The street sweeper needs a street sweeper. Trail of oil on FOTC Road near the village, both directions, ending at the broken street sweeper stopped at the side of the road, as of late this morning. The trail of hydraulic oil is highly visible and not too hard to avoid, although westbound you'll...

Google AI: 1 ChatGPT: 0 ChatGPT probably googled how to tell you the video wasn't fake.

Manufacturer who kicks the bucket completely after building a small number of half baked vehicles is a whole different situation.

My 1990 (model introduced in 1986) Yamaha FZR has the turn signal flash function built into a relay module with a bunch of other stuff. My 2004 Kawasaki has a simple dumb flasher relay. Fancier newer models are likely to have the lighting done through a multifunction control module.

25 000 per year manufacturing capacity in Canada. (Not sales!) Probably this is from last year, and that capacity is accounted for almost entirely by the GM Brightdrop commercial van. Now, this year, the Charger Daytona should account for a manufacturing capacity increase ... except that the...

House internet relies on Bell hardware. It's still down. Cell is with Rogers; that still works. Do they take turns breaking?

Breaker-points ignition? Points good? Condenser good? With key on, is there power to both sets of points? Rotate crankshaft -> do the points successfully interrupt power to the coil side of the circuit? With points open, what's the resistance of the primary side of the coil all the way...

Held pressure overnight. Piece of contamination in the valve core that temporarily held it open? (it's getting new valve stems at the next tire change, which will be soon regardless)

It's possible. Valve stem is original and therefore 21+ years old. It's one of those things I've thought of replacing, but never had that thought at the same time as actually doing the tires. It's going to happen this time.

Could have done better today. Odd-feeling steering turned out to be low rear tire pressure, which wasn't low a few days ago, so there must be a puncture. I limped it home, added air, sprayed tire with soap and water ... can't find the leak. Tire is about two-thirds done, so if this turns out to...

That was quite the race-long battle ...

Maybe worth considering. https://www.moodys.com/web/en/us/about-us/usrating.html

Of course. And this is probably why the safety benefit isn't as much as one might think it would be. In my car, I set cruise control in speed-camera zones.

I am OK with requiring justification for community safety zones. I can point to several ridiculous ones. As for the prevalence of speed cameras, go drive in the UK or Australia ...

My portfolio is +/- even relative to 6 months ago, even though i'm drawing an income, but that's after doing some rebalancing to reduce cross-border risk. I don't think the cross-border risk is all in yet, either.

Yes BUT. The charging system voltage has to deliver 14.4 volts to charge them properly. Most modern charging systems designed for sealed maintenance-free batteries will do that, but some old skool systems designed for the old batteries with fill caps do not. A charging voltage in the 13s will...

Slide this sideways into a ditch out in the boonies, and you'll need a Sikorsky to get it out.
