    Our 96 Sonoma that we just got in April, about a month later ended up having a massive oil leak. It first showed up on the oil pressure gauge.

    One day, had to put 3 quarts in it! It wasn’t burning the oil, nor would it leave a puddle under the truck. So where the fuck was it going?

    There was only one way to find out. Inspect everything with the engine running. Turned out the oil filter was ancient, clogged with what looked almost like tar, and basically pouring oil out from around the seal.

    One ~$8 oil filter fixed that right up 👍

    Point is, we would have never known just by checking the engine before cranking it, as the oil doesn’t pump unless the engine spinny spinny. Bonus points for having an actual oil pressure gauge, as we would have probably drove it bone dry until the engine locked up otherwise.

    • I fucked an old woman in the graveyard, God bless her old soul she was dead.
    • Maggots crawled out of her asshole, and hairs fell out of her head.
    • After the ordeal was over, I felt I had committed a sin.
    • So out of my pocket I drew a straw, and sucked out the load I shot in.

    I never understood why people never explained to me that credit unions were even a thing, let alone the difference between them and banks.

    Please elaborate what the difference is, what makes one potentially better than the other, and above and beyond all, why should I have my money invested in any electronic system?

    This post just reminded me to fix my roommate’s bank card.

    The magnetic strip layer was starting to peel off pretty bad, so I carefully applied packing tape over around the front and back side along that edge. As long as you don’t cover over the chip contacts, and apply it really good and flat with no creases, it’ll work just fine.

    Of course I folded the end of the tape on the roll before I put it up 👍

    Yes, yes I did. But even with 360° view, he still had somewhat limited shooting angles through the gunner slots…

    But you make a mighty fine point. What’s the best defense against a homemade bulldozer tank with nothing but cameras to see from and drive with? Spray paint the cameras…

    The thing had more than one weak point they could have used to their advantage…

    Something like that yeah. He built the ~22 ton outer bulletproof shell with 22 tons of thick steel plate metal and concrete. He built it on some sort of hanging hoist over the bulldozer, only to be lowered once he was ready to go cause the destruction he did. He designed it without an entrance nor exit, it was a suicide mission and he knew it.

    What finally brought his rampage of destruction to an early end was when the bulldozer ran over some of the debris of his carnage, that some chunk of debris managed to bust the radiator, which ultimately took out the engine. So, clearly the radiator was a weak point all along…

    My thought regarding a grenade wasn’t about trying to take the dude out directly, but rather to disable the bulldozer and go from there.

    If you haven’t seen the documentary movie about it, you really should…
