As much as ive been celebrating the veritable blue tsunami of the midterms and as much as it is really a realignment back onto the right path it needs to be emphasized it is still a path. There is still an unfortunate amount of support for anti trans bills even in states that 1/

Otherwise went blue in governor/senate elections. In many cases democratic politicians still need to be dragged onto the right path on social issues and it is imperative that _all_ queer people stand together to demand positive change for our most vunerable/targeted siblings

Blue wave is great but please don't leave trans women and girls behind while you celebrate. Trans girl's rights were successfully taken away yesterday in several states, they're still here and deserve to be fought for.

My moms 2017 trax is dying a slow death and shes getting mad at me that I dont want to put a crank seal in it on my day off which is far from the most pressing issue with that car when I have my own stuff to fix on my cars that arent disposable trash

If it was up to me she'd just buy a p80 or a p2 volvo in good shape and itd last 200k+ with normal upkeep instead of this GM shitbox coming apart at the seams at 100k but everybody wants the mechanic to fix their car and nobody wants to listen to the mechanics advice on cars

I think more people need to appreciate the amount of tiny machinery housed inside a tape deck, this isnt even the belt side and look at all the stuff that moves!

A lot of people stress over every kilometre they put on their car.
In August 1983, Mercedes sent three pre-production 190 E 2.3-16s to Nardò with one goal: run them flat out until they reached 50,000 km.
The fastest of the three got there in 201 hours, 39 minutes and 43 seconds.
That works out to an average of 247.9 km/h, day and night, for more than eight days

Sorry, but V6 hate absolutely is rational. V6 is one of the very worst engine formats dynamically. They sound unpleasant, they are a poor packaging compromise, and they require crappy design choices to counter their shortcomings.
