    Why do they have a bunch of brand-new 70 series in Utah in the first place? Ranch use?

    The Michelin Defenders that I bought for the Taco in 2019 are still good. It doesn't get many miles each year.

    On the 5vzfe - will a bad coil pack create a misfire in 1 cylinder or both cylinders that it provides spark to?

    I have a pic somewhere, but coming back from Montana and driving through AZ going North to South I somehow picked up a Tarantula Hawk wasp along the way in my headlight bucket. Man up close those things are menacing, 1/4" stinger, huge orange wings, massive glossy black thorax with HUGE eyes. Don't fuck with one of them, also don't ride a motorcycle in AZ.

    I watched one of these guys in a park once. I guess they're mostly harmless to humans (apart from maybe wrecking your lawn), but they do not look friendly.

    I used to work a few projects with this company and they loved using 70s, they had dozens in their yard any given time. Could be something like that where they are getting outfitted for cooler shit

    Yeah those seem pretty harmless, rather run into those than a regular yellow jacket. Around here we get these neato things that look like small bumble bees, they might actually be some sort of wildland bee, they're super docile. They'll land all over you when they're hatching out but they just sorta chill there. You can move em around and stack them on top of each other... no idea what they truly are but they appear once or twice a year here.

    fingers crossed that you dont have to do on calls… at your company id say odds are in your favor :D

    code quality is a huge issue, and it is getting worse. plus leadership got a bug about eliminating manual QA and replacing them with automated testing… as youd imagine, for all the things that can go wrong with a streaming platform, there have been a lot of prod issue post mortem meetings lately
