InitialDave posted:Passenger car diesel is only worth having if you're going to do loads of long journeys and really need the higher mpg. I've got a diesel Focus and pretty happy with the MPG I get around town with it compared to my last car. Being about to drive for over half a month between refills is pretty neat.

My dad used to make the comment after seeing the last couple of years of his mother's life being destroyed by dementia "I will keep a jar of pills by my bedside. If (one day) I can't remember what the pills are, feed me the bottle" Of course he now lives in a nursing home with full on Alzheimer's Dementia and doesn't know who the hell I am.

TacoHavoc posted:It's a pretty standard front end loader like you'd find on any tractor or piece of construction equipment (lift/tilt) with an extra cylinder for that side arm and an additional cylinder for the open/close. It's really not that crazy mechanically. Putting it up front makes it easier for the driver to line up, and allows the "helper" to make sure people aren't throwing out illegal/dangerous stuff before it's tossed into the hopper. The ones in Australia just have a hole in the side and turf the garbage in that way

kastein posted:Wouldn't be surprised if that was from the explosion alone, really. Liquefied gas is under some good pressure (assuming lpg and 90f like Beijing was today, 150psig) and if the tanker got split the right way, you could end up with like 2/3 of an 11mt tanker getting propelled by an area of 7000in² for a force of 1.05 million pounds until the propane disappears and isn't flash boiling and rocketing the tanker around anymore. My dad used to take dangerous goods courses due to the paint and paint related chemicals he used to transport, and his description of when a BLEVE (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_liquid_expanding_vapor_explosion) happens always shocks me to this day.

I was hoping that video had the actual sound that was going on, instead of some lovely song. I wanted to hear the crack as the bolt finally moved.

All that water weight in the front of the cabin well and truly destroyed the front unibody there. I'm sure Ivan had that fixed by the evening

Surely by then you'd either be finding out why the brakes are dying so quickly on it or putting aftermarket callipers and rotors on it

All of which “ran when parked”. Not sure if they’ll fire up now. The others will suffer from battery bombs, leaking surface mount capacitors or both.

That looks like a 100 Series Land Cruiser. It'll still run after the fire is put out
