Aside from the click bait, this is a good video about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbEdr6Q6cKw

Tl;dw GM specified 0w20 oil for a 420HP engine destined - in theory - for heavy hauling. The crankshaft bearing surfaces may not have been machined to the specified smoothness and the light oil provides insufficient film thickness to compensate, which can lead to premature bearing failure.

GM specifies 0w40 oil for this engine in applications not subject to CAFE standard, and has now modified the specification for these trucks to 0w40 as well. It’s unclear what the change will do to their CAFE adherence.

The key with the shelvador is that there’s no overlap between door shelves and interior shelves. You can stuff the fridge right to the brim and close the door. Too many refrigerators now have an overlap, so you need to reserve space from the fridge to allow the door shelves space. It’s not a matter of placement, just the door shelves are too deep (or interior, depending how you look at it).

I didn’t say “teach the kids to count calories”. I said “teach the kids to understand where the calories come from”. It needs to be a constructive conversation about, like you said, diversifying the food they eat and fuelling their bodies appropriately. Understanding things like when iced coffees have the calories of a cheeseburger.

There’s certainly a lot of psychological factors that go into deciding whether a client can handle calorie counting, but refusing to provide this information as part of a nutrition class enables charlatans to take advantage of ignorance, leading down a path of repeated failure.

I understand your point and I think it’s a difficult subject to navigate with teens. Science-based education is important to offset misinformation.

I think it’s tremendously valuable to understand what macros and calories mean, and where they come from in the diet. There’s a global obesity epidemic and there’s significant incentives for people in the health/fitness/weight management industry to muddy the waters with crash, fad, or various unhealthy diets, “cleanses”, and “supplements”. And that’s before we get to the food product industry of Nestle et al.

I’m not saying this needs to be the only thing they do, but it can shed light on why people say cheetos are unhealthy while potatoes are OK.

Yeah, if the Smart EV was more reasonable I’d have one. My Diesel Smart was brilliant. But it’s hard to justify the cost when it’s literally half a car and not really any cheaper to run. So I got a small EV, but they’re hard AF to find.

I think that some of the “western” EVs are using Chinese drivetrains too. Missed opportunity to innovate, like Lucid has.

“For a long time”

Still doesn’t. Model Y is pretty large.

And yes, 100% sarcasm. GM killed the Bolt because it was selling like hotcakes and replaced it with the hummer. And eventually the Blazer which was something like 15k more.

JFC apparently.

Also, after hours/on vacation the work phone just sits on my desk accumulating missed messages, which is harder to do if it’s your only phone.

I wonder how much Sonos has made from this, directly and via customers discovering the product via IKEA. It seems that they’re always struggling in recent years.

The use of the term “South Georgia” is somewhat confusing to someone familiar with South Georgia, given the Trump Administration’s use of detention centres outside of the USA. The article states that the couple drove from North Carolina so I assume the author is referring to the southern portion of the State of Georgia.
