  • No they won't, unless they're built with a gasoline based engine, which almost no one orders, because the mileage to fuel ratio, cost, and power are terrible for OTR hauls.

    Diesels will run on lots of less refined oils using only the heat of compression, like kerosene and fuel oil, as well as being able to run on their own oil (diesel runaway). However CNG, Propane, Gasoline, and other commonly sparked fuels will, in very short order, catastrophically destroy your diesel engine because they detonate at much lower compression than diesels require.

    Furthermore, you'd ruin your high pressure fuel pump as gasoline doesn't have the required lubricity. The injectors would probably be fine, but your pump and your cylinders/pistons/crank/rods/mains would be having extremely bad days.

  • I mean, it will run on gas once...

  • We've seen too many body bags and ball sacks!

  • Peterbilts don't run on gas

  • Bird leaf

  • I've used jeweler's eye loupes for extensive periods. They're not terrible to hold in place unless you're sweaty. If it's too small it can become hard, but it generally rests in your eye well and is held in with friction rather than muscles. I do have a set that clip to my glasses now, which I need as I've gotten older. Those are easy.

    People who only need correction in one eye get glasses with a prescription in one eye, and a plano lens in the other, which is just a clear lens with no correction or adjustments.

  • Father?

  • Rain or Thunder is very calming to fall asleep to. Though most often it's with a TV show on. Something I've seen a bunch before and can nod off to, without missing anything. Just comfort noise.

  • They're already in the lead, they just wanted to make sure NO ONE catches up

  • Birds of a feather

    NO MO CUOMO

  • no mo cuomo

  • Hit it and quit it

  • TrueNas is pretty top notch and offers a variety of storage and protocol options. If you're at all familiar with Linux style OS, it should be pretty easy to work with. Setting up storage comes with a little bit of a learning curve, but it's not too bad. This SAN/NAS OS is polished, performant, and extensible. If you're not planning on using SMB or Samba, you can most certainly use NFS, or iSCSI if that's your thing.

  • Housecat. Cats are always in charge.

  • Buy defense contractor stock, start more wars, profit

    Go berserk with tariffs, start more trade wars, profit

    Force stores to pay you protection money to sell a previously banned product, profit

    Same as it ever was with this asshole

  • Bocce

    Billiards/Pool/Cue Sports (personal fav)

    Darts

    Curling ok I was wrong about this one. Seemed pretty laid back but it sounds more intense than I had thought!

    I'd hazard to suggest playing cards or board games, still has the element of challenge/sport, but doesn't require too much exertion.

    Possibly E-Sports if you're into that sort of thing. Let the game console / computer do the running.

  • A lot of our residential infrastructure is underground, because of the weather we have. Though, there's a fair amount of aerial hardware as well. Where I live is famous for ice storms, and every few years there's a major outage that lasts anywhere from 12 to 48 hours. They're rare, but they do occur. More often it's because someone hit a pole or ground mount transformer, versus a falling branch or lightning bolt.

    I still prefer ice, snow, and occasional outages to unbearable heat and humidity, earthquake, and hurricane tradeoff being further south or west.

    To answer OP, there's a visible change in road surface and signage not only at state borders, but even between county and town lines. Each county handles the road a different way, and the finish/quality can differ a LOT even between municipalities and counties.

  • "India's doing some bad stuff. Terribly bad. It's Tremendously bad. As Americans, you all need to pay me extra for it"

  • The trade wars, crashing economy, and broken foreign relationships are just the unexpected side effects from using tariffs to steal taxes from citizens without understanding their implications.

    It was never about trade relationships, despite what they tell you. With trump, priority number one is ALWAYS about separating others from their money.

  • According to the Flag Code, the proper disposal method is to burn it.

    Every day we get embarrassed as a country by this dipshit in new and profound ways.
