Geoj posted:I wonder if flood insurance underwriters have had the foresight to write in exclusion clauses for climate change induced sea level rise. I'm guessing if your house gets permanently flooded by rising seas your flood insurance carrier is going to weasel out of paying a claim somehow. My car insurance has a section about what they cover should the car find itself in a war zone. Tl:dr, they'll pay for damage from nuclear fallout, won't pay if an rpg hits it.

Memento posted:The map I posted shows where the geology allows for the infiltration of seawater from increased storm surge and rising sea levels, due to porous sandstone and limestone close to the surface. The sandstone (yellow) will only allow infiltration but the limestone (blue) will experience infiltration as well as dissolution, meaning sinkholes will open as well as the water table rising. What does any of this have to do with poorly maintained cars?

My former coworker just removed a windshield washer pump from his late-00 Audi. Road salt is awesome.

Seat Safety Switch posted:Might be summer fluid got left in the pump over a fall deep freeze. Yeah, then stick 50% methanol winter washer fluid in there, and it'll rust quickfast. I coated the inside of my pump box in the truck with rubberized undercoating and the methanol completely disolved it and rusted the plate in a week.

When I pulled the 49 year old washer pump from my Vette, it looked infinitely better than that. Just had to scoop out and replace the grease (which was more of a paste, at this point). And it's a Colorado car.

Sudo Echo posted:Of course in Oakland all the rich folks up in the hills will be fine, it's just the lovely parts that will be washed away. Climate change is racist. In historical San Francisco the cheapest land used to be at the top of the hills, because it was a big pain to walk up and down to get to your house. The rich people built their houses down near the water. As soon as the cable cars were built, the land values reversed. All of the rich people bought up the tops of the hills, because they could easily pay for the trolley rides up and down every day, allowing them to get away from the poor people who wouldn't bother to walk up the hills if they didn't have to. So you're semi-right about that.

Mercury Ballistic posted:I suspect so many states are reticent to acknowledge climate change as by doing so, they will drastically alter their most wealthy tax base with waterfront property. If they show they believe many million dollar properties are eventually going to be worthless along with the land they sit on, they will be forced to find alternate revenue. No one wants to eat that poo poo sandwich yet. Rich folks can also afford to sue. You mean like when Hurricane Sandy hit NJ and the state taxpayers bailed out the beach front homeowners and rebuilt their multimillion dollar homes? And then also payed to raise the existing houses on stilts, as well as build dunes and other beach reinforcements, which the wealthy homeowners actually fought against the whole time because they didn't want their view disturbed?

I was entertained by this troubleshooting adventure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCYxyVzH7Po This guy is pretty thorough in describing his process for tracking down the problem. I didn't know something so seemingly unrelated could stall a car. Turning on the wipers or even looking at them funny stalls the car

There's a job coming my way at the shop where they have to heat an inconel 7-18 ring up to 700°F and slide it over the end of a collar. Then I get to e-beam weld that bitch to a depth of 1.7 inches. No way that fucker's coming off. I'm afraid my weld's gonna really gently caress up the datum features right next to where I'm welding just from the heat. I've seen Ti 6-4 move .120 over a length of 5 feet from me e-beam welding it. The metal pulls towards the spot where the beam first hits it, regardless of when the full depth of weld is reached. Metal is weird, yo.

More shocks would be a good idea so when the bolts start snapping he's got some redundancy to help get back to the main road.
