    If you watched Kid Rock's alternative super bowl show, apparently it didn't get much viewership, meanwhile Jelly Roll is down to 265 lbs from a high of 540 lbs. Maybe he should change his name to flauta roll. From aol : Just hours after being brutally mocked and roasted online over his...

    You can still buy solar shingles - at one time hyped as the next biggest thing - but I think that hasn't proved out. In the devlopment I live in all houses are required to have tile roofs and most if not all are concrete tiles and they are heavy, supposedly more difficult to install solar...

    Ok, France get 75% of electricity from nuclear, US 20% . In the US nuclear energy has it's share of accidents but possible more damaging are the extensive cost overruns, Westinghouse went bankrupt from recent massive cost overruns and I remember their nuclear biz sometime in the last century...

    Constellation is working with Microsoft to restart TMI just for data center power. Yes smart move by MS in locking up a source of power, the reopening is partly financed by a $1 B loan from the US doe, apparently MS isn't waiting around for Mr Gates to prove out his reactor proof of concept...

    A farmer goes into town to sell his chickens. He sells all of them except one. Now he has a problem: He wants to see the movie in town but can’t leave the chicken in his truck, someone might steal it, they won’t let him in the movie with a live chicken so he comes up with a brilliant idea, he...

    I'm not a big fan of incentives/subsidies but they are a fact of life. I think incentives given to corporations to relocate to CO have been a major factor in driving up the cost of living and other issues, the incentives provided are usually contingent on bringing jobs paying over $100k, those...

    Much of it comes down to lack of a comprehensive engery plan , to me it's extremely wasteful to have spent many billions in public and private investments in clean energy then change course, arguably it was much too much too soon. I'm still shocked though that Texas leads the way in wind power...

    Easy to single out EV and clean engery investments but beginning with the Great Depression the US governemt has either subsized or paid subsidies in many industries and projects - agriculture is annually subsidized with the highest year to the tune of $45 billion. Things like the rural...

    This is a SAAB, all European makes that I'm aware used port EFI when they ditched carbs - Bosch mostly, US auto makers hadn't developed their own and were too cheap to licensce Bosch EFI and instead went to low cost throttle body injection - nowhere near effective as port EFI. My 1986 SAAB...

    yeah this was a 2004 Saab - Saab started using EFI back in the early 70s , no fuel touch the throttle body.

    yeah if you look into people get hurt sometimes badly tensioning the springs, I was happy to part with my wind sticks and retire from ever replacing gargae door springs.
  14. Plug removal

    Agree with got3fords that it is likely a bad install - probably the springs weren't tensioned correctly, last time I worked on springs one had snapped and on closer examination the springs were of different sizes, small wonder one snapped. It was a heavy garage door and took a good amount of...

    she should be fired or find a gov job. I've previously posted this sevice sob story handy, my interaction was with the Saab dealership service mgr : TB failure occurred while traveling from Denver to Buff, cruising around 55 and punched the gas pedal to pass and CEL lights up, boost and rpm...

    Any chance her prior experience was with Hyundai/KIA ? They are more known for creating stupid reasons to deny warrany claims and despite inane commercials touting their off road prowess their vehicles are better suited for the pavement - smooth pavement, any irregularities or pot holes is...

    I've installed garage door openers several times and also replaced broken springs - won't do springs anymore because of the risk involved, gave away my tension sticks. Daughter's townhome is still covered by a 1 yr warranty which should cover the liftmaster repair, her opener quit working and...

    They will someday be replaced by roBOTS, with AI programming more capable of intelligent thinking than the humans you describe. Today so many are completely lost without their cell phones, tik tok and access to TV shows like keeping up with the Kardasians.
