I stand corrected. All the diesel guys say that turbos are a must have for those, otherwise they will have far less MPG.

THAT part is correct, in general. But the turbo will still decrease lifespan.

An inline 4 seems hard to beat, but I'm old fashioned and like cubes, and keep wondering if the guys who stuff a LS engine into anything and everything have something going for it.

Cubes are fun and LS engines are generally good, so it's logical enough.

"Trump's really damaging to rightwing politics. He's clearly all about HIMSELF, not even party and certainly not country."

Yeah, that's all that right wing politics has left. They haven't tried to make anything better in literally decades, since Nixon signed the bill creating the EPA into law.

They get severance which is required by law, they get medical benefits where provided by law, they can keep the laptop which is nice but it's also just a cost saving measure because the old laptops are worth dick and they would have to pay to dispose of them. They are doing nothing for the workers here, it's all for them. Don't be such a rube.

Turbos are fun though, but they do shorten engine life. The exception are turbo diesels, but that's a different bird altogether.

It's not though. Turbocharged diesels have shorter lifespans, too. The increased cylinder pressure is still a problem.

It would be nice to go back to non-interference engine designs and gears for timing, as opposed to engines that have more chains than a Cenobite inside, which stretch and wear out relatively quickly.

That's why I prefer inline engines. They generally have just the one chain. The interference engine with a belt is leaving my life, as my versa has a valve issue and a bunch of other problems making it not worth fixing. However, the other vehicles we've got I think are also all interference engines, including the 1999 Cummins ISC in our bus and the 2.5 liter L4 in my RAV4. Not sure about that one, but AFAIK most Toyotas with chains are interference.

Trump is also aware that the Republicans who would have been most likely to cross the aisle to vote with Democrats to convict are also ones we just kicked out of office, like Susan Collins

HAHAHAHHAHahAHahHAHAHAHAH

Yeah, she was always so close to crossing the aisle to do the right thing she said she would do! Because she was so concerned!

What's baffling is that you think an educated, intelligent adult can be impartial and non-political

If they are responsible and scrupulous, then they can make an effort to behave that way. It doesn't mean there will be no bias, but it's a thing that Trump's SC picks have made 0 effort to do, and they deliberately misled congress about their intentions.
