I can drink beer, but after working on and off at a distillery for a decade as a contractor, the smell of vodka/whiskey just makes me gag.

You sure that wasn’t an alcohol free beer? Unless it’s de-alcholized beer, a non-alcoholic beer is stopped being brewed before a lot of the sugar from the yeast is turned into alchohol.

So they tend to be sweeter unless they add some additives, and they taste like stale alcohol as well, that could have been the disinfectant tinge. As they are still 0.5% alcohol typically.

If weed is legal drinking goes down.

I wonder if it’s people living in weed “dry” states that are the current outliers.

Maybe there are better things to waste resources on than pointless clunker that nobody wants or needs.

Do you not comprehend just how many inventions are made because of progress in other technology? These balancing mechanics and pistons to be locomotive in a bidpedal fashion has previously been impossible. Now who knows what the future holds.

But people with attitude like yours will prevent all progress because you just can’t see the need? This is how funding gets slashed and you get what’s happening in places like the US.

That computer chess bot lead to other technology, you’re incredibly ignorant, it was a massive achievement in the field, how can you not see that? Because you can’t think of how it will directly affect t your life? Why would that even matter? That selfish?

That’s just one example, there’s others as well, but obviously you’re gonna miss that if you are biased as hell like that and can’t think for yourself.

I’m sorry that you can’t see the point because you’re too wrapped up in irrelevant details. It’s a metaphor, but of course something like that would get lost on someone who just wants to bitch about any progress.

Sooooooo you’ve got a heart transplant to get into the middle of a dense forest during a war, there’s too much flak for air support, and a vehicle would go at a snails pace.

Would you rather die because technology didn’t advance to allow a robot to be able to run through the forest at breakneck speed because planes exist? Or should we be trying to advance technology at every barrier because there’s other situations where those just don’t make a lick of fucking sense.

There’s obviously contextual situations where a plane and vehicle don’t make sense, but sure let’s inhibit progress for… whatever reason you think you’re making here….?

Being able to balance and move realistically as a bipedal with speed is quite the feat though.

That was supposed to be to OP, but thanks!

Ai voice or is just text to voice? Some people are adverse to having their voice online like that, but still want to participate in things.

Apparantly you can’t comprehend that a blockage that creates pressure would increase the volume of the reservoir in the sump since it’s not pumping as fast as it needs too. Or if it’s low, it could be pumping too fast because of a leak.

You’re almost there, you comprehend the basics, but fumble with the gauges being different information that a gauge. Your full sump can also overflow, but your pressure gauge can’t tell you that specifically either.

The gauge is only the sum total of all the parts, it tells you NOTHING other than to check the system, which you should already do regularly regardless anyways.

Your dipstick checks the level of the sump… what do you think it’s checking? if it’s low or high, it’s indicative of whatever the gauge is telling you.

I’m not trolling because you think you’re educating me, it’s the other way around. You’ve got your head so far up your ass you can’t even see it.

We get it, you don’t understand how the oil system works.
