The change is coming for you guys as well. I’ve travelled to Colombia on a regular basis over the past 20 years or so, and transmisión mecánica has gone from nearly ubiquitous to almost exclusively an econobox option. Maybe performance cars as well I guess? Wouldn’t know about those

Never heard of Horsey Sauce before. Is it, ummmmm. Is it, y’know, white and viscous?
4·20 days agoThe diagram I originally referred to was on the packaging for the tubes I bought (GE Direct Wire 96" T8), but it’s basically this:
In my case (double-ended lamps, 6 ballast wires, right side of the diagram above) the fuse goes between the hot and the red/blue wires leading to the sockets. I’ve actually got two of them since the fixture has 4 tubes in it. Hope this helps!
They don’t care if it’s AC or DC
I figured this was most likely the case, glad to have it confirmed. I just wanted to err on the side of caution
Yeah, I thought about automotive fuses but I wasn’t 100% sure whether they’d be suitable for AC power. These ones definitely are
The two white plastic parts are the fuse holders. From what I’ve read, the fuses are a safeguard against someone accidentally replacing one of the LED tubes with a fluorescent one. Putting a fluorescent light directly on mains power with no ballast could be pretty dangerous
Oh so you are changing the rims in fact. Not sure why you’re not getting a tire pressure warning in that case, either the second set of rims has sensors, or there’s something wrong with the system
But to answer your question, around here most people who only change the tires (rubber) and re-use the same rims (metal) have it done professionally. It’s not impossible to do it at home but it’s generally not worth the trouble
It only happens if you have a separate set of rims for your snow tires (and those rims have no TPMS sensors installed)
That was a new one for me, thank you kindly. It’s Bradbury through and through, felt like a companion work to Fahrenheit 451. Can’t decide whether to think of it as a prequel or a sequel…
1·26 days agoSounds quite similar to Nick Cave’s letter on the topic, read here by Stephen Fry. (anyone feel free to reply with a piped link, for some reason it’s never worked for me)
Read this as “sharter edition” and I think it still works

Well fuck that
Where is the MIT study in question? The link in the article, apparently to a PDF, redirects elsewhere

You know, I think I’m overdue for a donation to Wikipedia. They honestly might end up being the last bastion of sanity
Point of terminology. Do crackheads “tweak”? I thought that was a meth-specific concept
There’s also the weird line spacing change in the last paragraph
