You'd think that the pubs most likely to close would be the ones close to other pubs if demand is falling.
Is this about population density?
Maybe because "pub-crawling" - visiting multiple establishments over the course of an evening - is (was?) a thing. Clusters have an additional appeal that isolated locations don't.
i have a knob on the console and some options to scroll through. i haven't fully utilized the features yet. what part are people saying sucks again?
My BMW has the same scroll wheel setup and I'll take it over a touch screen any day. Fortunately I also still have physical controls for all the important things, otherwise neither would be an acceptable alternative.
Basically, all I was trying to say is that we're talking about minor controversies that are going to be made irrelevant by time and make little difference one way or another.
In that case I agree completely. People get easily worked up these days.
Like a 93 Ford Escort?
Especially if it's a Cosworth.
Whether it's fluorescent bulbs or ICE engines that directly drive a car, the thing they have in common is that they're clearly obsolete and on their way out.
I'm sure the world will look as different 100 years from now as it did 100 years ago, but that matters not to me. I'll still be ordering a new one later this year.
Why hasn't he just sent Trump a bribe and received a full pardon like the rest of them?
If he was just a rapist or something minor that would be a no-brainer, but these are economic crimes we are talking about, and some of Trump's acquaintances may have been victims.
The public has no idea what they want nor can they be trusted to make their own decisions.
We'll pass on your dictatorship thanks. You are the enemy.
Like a car would ever make it to 50 years old.
Only the rare ones worth keeping.
It's the worst concept to creep into motorcars since... well possibly ever. A better idea: set up lights so that people don't stop as much. That'll save far more gas as people aren't sitting in idle all of the time.
My city goes on and on about taking action against climate change but could not time a traffic light if their lives depended on it. Profoundly stupid people.
A forced option is not an option, it is a nuisance at best, especially vehicles that use the engine's crankshaft to spin the compressor, which means your A/C dies on a hot day unless you disable that.
I've often wondered about this. If you stop the AC compressor along with the engine the refrigerant pressure will bleed down through the evaporator and when you restart it has to pressurize the system again. Granted this does not take long, but does not seem terribly efficient. On an EV you just run the AC compressor with an electric motor. Seems kludgy on an ICE.
Kehn's reasoning is where the myth that turning on and off a flourescent light as you enter and leave a room uses more energy than just leaving it on for hours on end got started. It stems from wanting an excuse to be lazy.
I will use less energy and kill the bulb faster so the economics are debateable.
You would think. But computer modeling for how long something will last has gotten really good. That's why things fail just outside of warranty more often these days. I'd guess that the starter motor itself could outlast the engine. But I'm sure there's some electronic component that will fail.
Like the module on the electric water pump on my previous car. $2K to replace, but it was under warranty. Guess they didn't model that one right LOL.
When I was young we would get a $2 Ford starter relay from the auto parts store and wire it in attached to a fender well or the firewall. That usually saved us $20 for a new starter and I don't think anyone who did this had to worry about it again.
I used to love working on cars when I was a kid back in the points and carburetors days. Still enjoy some mild modding, but modern cars are way more complicated. More time spent on a laptop than turning wrenches nowadays.
