Friar Zucchini posted:So here's an interesting bit from the '15 Focus owner's manual, with the base 2.0 N/A engine: "Premium unleaded gas will provide improved performance and is recommended for severe duty usage, for example a fully loaded vehicle." I figured that was more of a thing in higher-end cars where you're lucky they even allow regular gas for that particular engine, or more sophisticated engines like the 1.0 Ecoboost... but this is just a conventional four-banger compact. Weird. The aussie ford 4l i6 is like that. It's made to work on 91ron to keep everybody happy, but if you put in 95ron or 98ron you get a little bit more power and torque, something like 5kW and 15ft/lb. Nothing new about that motor, just a fancy head on an old block. All to do with knock sensors and coil on plug spark control

He knows words, like if you ask him to get the car, remote, and a hundred other things he'll race of to get them, but as far as speech it's weird, about the only simple words he says is 'car' and similar sounds. For some weird reason he says 'circle', 'treasure', 'turtle', 'rainbow' but doesn't say many simple words like milk, bottle, toy like you'd expect of a kid that age. Anyway, sometimes when he wakes up in his cot and my partner has has left a book nearby or in it, he will sit there and "read" them. All words are "D" BTW. So if he's reading out loud he'll be saying "D D D D D D D D". Also all numbers are "A" (or "8"). He often argues with sesame street with their numbers and letters, yelling D or a/8.

Tide posted:I gotta disagree with that. Much like cigarette smoke, weed is so pungent that I don't think you can ever escape that smell, no matter how much you try. Yeah. I'm a smoker of both and can smell it on other people or in the air from a long way away. Only way not to have that smell is have really short head hair and no facial hair, and smoke standing outside shirtless in a decent breeze, and even then you'll need brushed teeth, gargle, cologne and not let your hands near anyone afterwards... e: Non smokers will pick it up easier than me, eg your dr will know you smoke cigs, the cops will know you smoke pot.

Well the only way to prove that is not your own opinion, but that of someone else who can say they can smell it on you or not. That being impossible here, no point continuing discussion about it. e; for your edit: It's not about your room, I always had a pedestal fan between me and the window too. No smell got into the house, it lingered around the room for a bit though, but we're talking about the smell on you. Absorbent things like skin, hair, clothing carry and hold it around more than the hard surfaces of a room does. Like I said before, short head hair, no facial hair, no shirt helps, but to people that are non smokers and professionals at spotting it, they can still be able to tell if even I can tell while I'm used to it/blocked some out, may have diminished senses.

CommieGIR posted:Well, apparently the refrigerant on my home's AC is low, because it iced up both the condenser and compressor. Ugh. What type of ice? Iceblock ice or frosty ice? iceblock ice can mean low on refrigerant or restriction somewhere; frosty ice is liquid refrigerant (points more to the outdoor fan and defrost not working right) e; we're talking about heating mode right? e: welcome back lobsterboyx Fo3 fucked around with this message at 09:26 on Apr 10, 2015 |

Anphear posted:Dont worry about the EN STR I've done a couple of ultra lows at hospitals and labs years ago. They still remain bit of a mystery as I never did anything but condensor fans, relays and simple stuff on the first stage. Never got trained in them (or anything really - self taught for everything), so the 2nd stage refrigerant and system wasn't touched by me. I hated that. The company I worked for usually brought them back to the shop if there was any 2nd stage problems, and the foreman himself would work on them. The refrigerant on the second stage is very very expensive, high pressure and charged in minute amounts. But from my memory on the ones I worked on, the first stage needed to run and it's evap cooled the condenser for the second stage. No first stage means the second stage would be tripping on overload or HP. Fo3 fucked around with this message at 14:07 on Apr 10, 2015 |

With all this talk of women and now fire, I suddenly got the urge to listen to ministry. I might get a SIM card for a phone soon and get back to the real world. None of this modern poo poo. Might fire up the old nokia 8250* so I can get bailed out when I break down (broke down twice last year - flat battery, out of fuel), loving hard to find a public phone these days.... * pretty sweet, nearly instantly on when you turn it on, makes phone calls.

some texas redneck posted:So a few months ago we had a compressor on a make table replaced at work. You got to take the bad with the good. That poo poo wouldn't fly in Australia, but then again it would be illegal and impossible for you to work on your own car A/C unless licenced in the trade and have another license to buy refrigerant and an account at a refrigerant wholesaler. The fact that anyone can do wiring and refrigeration there means you can DIY your own stuff, but also that many repairers can be poo poo. While here I can't legally do my own wiring, which also sucks, but in a different way. Also fridges don't have receiver/dryers, They have driers, going from little dinky copper spun tubes to 2-5" driers. Receivers are always separate and only on large on fridges. Only TXV (and other variable load) systems will have them, your own fridge at home will not have a receiver. Using a receiver and TXV in small fridge systems is mainly used when remote installing the condenser eg on the shops roof or out back etc. IE use a receiver and TXV system when custom on-site pipework is done. But the receivers on these fridges are just a hollow tank to hold excess refrigerant when under low load, they are empty and the drier is separate. All large systems will have a TXV and receiver of course because large systems see a huge load variation that a high TD can't achieve, but most pizza cabinets and display fridges have no TXV or receiver these days, they have capillary tube critical charge systems as the pipe length is a known quantity that engineers can work out the exact charge to weigh in, so they only have a tiny dryer.) Capillary tube metering systems, AKA critical charge systems, (like your home fridge and more and more small commercial systems too if the condenser is manufacturer installed, eg part of the unit so it's a known pipe length unlike remote condenser systems), have no receiver. An exact charge is weighed in so they don't need a receiver to store excess refrigerant. Same for most air cons like mini splits even if they have an electric TXV. E: mini splits don't even have driers at all! they just rely on a good install for containments and a strainer for dirt  They often have an accumulator though on the suction line to stop liquid flood back on low load. Also in cases of bad burnouts of compressors, not only should the liquid line drier be changed, it's common to add a suction line dryer - meant to be temporary as it's job is to suck up poo poo coming from the evap to the new compressor. Fairly restrictive and bad for performance so pulled out after a couple of months. Just there to protect the new compressor from existing nasties in the system. e: also if they're soldering without a full reclaim of refrigerant and purging with nitrogen, the system is going to be full of carbon scale that forms from refrigerant, air and other gases under heat, that's going to block poo poo up anyway. And if that's a capillary system, it's no going to last long edit: compressors are precharged with oil, never need to remove or add oil during a compressor change, just nice if you can purge any stuck in the receiver (if fitted), evap (if poorly designed so it holds some), or change liquid line drier, and add suction line drier to filter it - which you remove later as said before.

Shut up yourself, I just hate talking and I suck in general, not trying to be "better" than anyone else. I don't have in interest in modern social media like twitter or FB. I had no phone for 3 years, just got an old one back online in case of car breakdowns, to make phone calls because good luck finding a public phone these days and if you do it will cost $1 to make a call. Also for when I'm in hospital. Broke down 3 times last year, been in hospital 3 times this year. 88h88 posted:I roll with one of these which the screen is cracked in two places on and I've dropped and exploded the case/battery all over the floor a million times or more by now.
