Things that shouldn't piss you off, but do.

The word flan

Seems like it is missing a letter or two on the end.

The nice thing about that is you can just call it creme caramel, which is silky smooth, much like a good creme caramel.

Politicians that practice word salad on the constituency...

Back in the day you got a window sticker to remind you when 3,000 miles had passed for an oil change. If you were at 2,900 miles you really didn’t care because this was an arbitrary measurement and you knew mile 3,100 was not much different than mile 2,900. Hell most of us went 5,000+ miles anyways.

Now the digital instrument gauges / display call it “oil life” and it goes from 100% down to 0%. It is still an arbitrary measurement.. but …

My wife thinks going to 0% is like asking the car to explode. I cannot explain, no matter how hard I try, the difference between oil level and oil life and that 5% left and 0% left of “oil life” is not a big deal.

In her head it is as if the car will be out of oil and kaboom.

She thinks it is like the fuel gauge but worse.

And there is not convincing her - she has dug in

Maybe she had a bad experience one time?

Different experiences here back in the day. Some people (very vague on purpose) thought that as long as the oil pressure gauge was registering well above 0, nothing was amiss or needed to be done regardless or what was written on the little plastic sticker on the corner of the windshield that had likely been peeled and discarded anyway. *sigh*

I'm the opposite of Mrs. bip! I go for the 5K change. However, as little as I drive the truck, that's about every two years.

I know people say "every X miles or Y months", but I figure it's a sealed system. The oil isn't breaking down or getting dirty just sitting in there.

Are you using synthetic? It's good for 10k. I always scratch out whatever number they put on the sticker and change it 10k.

Synth last even longer than that... it doesn't break down or change viscosity like dinosaur, but there is still contaminate issues over time.

Can't remember if I'm on synthetic. Pretty sure the Subie is, or at least partial. The truck is probably old and plain enough it uses real oil.

funniest thing i have read in a LONG TIME

People stacking their chips in stacks of ten in poker. Why? Because you wanna be different? **** off man

acutal proof RED the dinosaur runs on full Herbie synth

we also happen to share the same early spring April birth anniversary

I just have days where I can't stop knocking over my 20 stacks and have to do that. I do feel ashamed of myself though.

sick brag bro
why ain't you out there painting good pots right now instead of hanging around here with us other lower tier track suit fellas

My wife for whatever reason will happily dismiss the oil warning for thousands of miles, but if the tire pressure light comes on it's game over, to hear it means she's obviously about to start riding on the rim and **** up her car and get stranded somewhere.

Same deal--I explain that if the tires don't visually look low, one tire probably just dropped below 29-30psi and it's beyond fine, can be filled whenever, if it's a cold day the light may just go off tomorrow when the temp goes back up. But nope. "You need to go outside and fill all my tires or I'm taking your car in the morning because I won't feel safe taking mine".

yeah... tires are made to function within a 'RANGE' of pressures. in fact, I often change my pressures for a given usage. higher for long trips and less rolling resistance... lower for more low speed grip... higher for wet weather conditions... etc.

oh come on now you two
the rest of us all acknowledge the importance of this situation

Food packaging that is completely different than the original that I'm looking for, but only has a small ribbon signifying it. Rasperry, gluten-free, instant, etc. Use different colors and make it more pronounced ad-wizards.

Repoman is always intense...

That 2+2 doesn't adjust when daylight savings time begins, so the post times are off by an hour for me.

When I get to a merge point where I have the right of way....and there aren't any vehicles that have to accommodate me by speeding up, slowing down or moving over.

That other states have to endure DST.

I prefer DST, and would love to leave the clocks the way they are now year round. I love having daylight after I'm done working.
