According to bobistheoilguy Chevron Techron has all the stuff you need. Ran it on my 2002 through several tanks of gas before an oil change, I don't know that I noticed anything different after 242k miles. But then, it's only about $5

 

Wow. I know companies were lobbying against Starlink. Guess it worked. Anything to stifle innovation and keep the pockets stuffed to existing.

I do usually every oil change. More just to help clean the old girl. Last time I had the heads off it was pretty clean in there.

 

I actually disagree. I think this will force Starlink to get better. They basically said the service isn't as good or widespread or available as what was promised and they need to get better before they get publicly subsidized funding. They currently collect $54,000,000 PER MONTH from their subscribers and collected $240,000,000 from equipment sales. The issue isn't funding.

edit: Not sure if it helps or hurts that I have a Starlink and think it sucks. I really want it to get better and want it to work well enough that I can use it for its intended purpose which it currently does not.

 

Happy birthday Brochacho! @llibrm Hope its a good one!

 

Speaking of which did you see that story that onlyfans actually bribed facebook/meta to flag any other "adult" / pay for feet pics type of content as "domestic terrorism" and get their accounts nuked?

Not sure if rules would allow me to link the story but I'm sure you can find it if you want.

 

Thanks!

 

Anytime Babe!

 

Well, I recently returned from the Bonneville Salt Flats in beautiful Wendover, Utah. Small photo dump of Friday and then that cancelled the entire week's racing.

The 1960 Ford Starliner that my father and I have been chipping away at for the past 25 years.
The Vesco Turbinator is currently the fastest wheel-driven car across the salt at 503.332mph

First off Happy Bday!

That looks like a shitload of fun even though it got all fukt.
Stupid question, maybe... do cars that run Bonneville have to worry about rust from the salt, like they would road salt?

 

Looks fun as hell! Sucks about the flooding and all that tho.

 

I agree with that also. Maybe it’s bitterness from the 90s/2000s when the other telecoms took a bunch of subsidies and then squandered it. Maybe rhe FCC trying to be better?
We should have some of the best infrastructure for telecom. Yet when I lived in a Japan I had Gig up/down for $20 a month. That was back in 05/06.
Can’t even get gig in flagstaff. Oh Suddenlink says it is. And charges it. I ain’t never had better than 250/20. Oh and it’s the only unlimited data package? W T F. With kids and the wife constantly streaming have to do it.

 

I doubt we will ever see more than ~35 up for consumer lines from our ISP's but getting 1/4 of advertised down is pretty bad

 

Very much so. The first thing you do, whether racing or spectating, is wash the salt off upon returning home. There is usually the local high school at the exit of the main flats that washes cars to raise money. It also helps to preserve the salt as it's been diminishing over the last 75 years due to mining.

 

That is brilliant for the highschool to do that! Plus I would rather get to wash some race cars than some moms mini van.

 

Happy birthday @llibrm

 

Happy birthday @llibrm!

You're giving me the tingles now
