All of us being a little bit better and conscientious about how we live will have big changes collectively. I’m not suggesting radical measures for any one person. I’ll bring up the red meat thing again since we’ve been debating that one. Imagine just eating red meat only once or twice a week, assuming you’re eating it more frequently than that, hats not a big change personally, but if millions do something like that, it has a huge ripple effect.

Another example would be thermostat settings. In the summer if more folks set their thermostat at 76 deg vs say 68-72 deg, not only would you save $$, we’d also burn less fossil fuel. Win win.

As far as China buying influence in our country and others. I agree with you I don’t like it. It’s why we need to invest in foreign countries not cut back on foreign investment by our state department. Interestingly, a lot of countries that took that Chinese money are now realizing that it came with strings attatched and they’re not to happy about it.

Re Hollywood, I agree with you again but I’m also a capitalist and companies are gonna go where the $$ is and they will suck up to the biggest consumer base. That used to be us, now it’s them.
I've been bumping the thermostat to temperature ranges I can live with. 74 in summer, 71 in winter. I bought a better system so it doesn't cycle continously. The challenge with adjusting temps is that while we use less energy, the 'energy' companies don't make as much money and they raise the energy rates, which causes other folks to change the temps so their bill isn't so high, which means the energy company doesn't make as much money & the cycle repeats. :shakes head::shakes head:

I'm looking at smart thermostats. Not sure which one I want to go with yet.

And light switches. I need to do some research on the smart home stuff and bring the house into the 20s

I've got a Honeywell t'stat. When I upgraded my HVAC, I wanted to put a NEST t'stat in. The HVAC guys said that the NEST needs 7 wires, my system only had 4. :shakes head: I don't know if that is correct or not. :icon14:

You'll need a Chicago typewriter if you are bringing everything into the 20s.... :rofl2:

74 summer and 71 winter. :tup: I have one of those smart thermostats. It actually made my gas and electric bills go up because of the cycling. Trying to get the house back to temperature. The units would run for a long time.

No thanks. :gtfo2:

Why should I sacrifice when someone else is just going offset my selfishness? I'd rather assume that my selfishness is offset by someone dumb enough to sacrifice their red meat consumption. I know a lot of stupid vegetarians :tup:

He's an idiot (or got a commission for selling you that Honeywell - not uncommon). You can install a Nest thermostat with as few as 2 wires in some instances. Both of my Nest thermostats are hooked up with just 4 wires.

75/76 summer and 68 winter here. The smart features are mostly dumb on my Nest. I just set a custom schedule. Then I can adjust it manually as needed without it thinking that I want to change my schedule every time I make a small adjustment. Before I turned the smart stuff off, it would add a new entry to the schedule nearly every time someone made an adjustment. After a few months of that the schedule got completely fuct lol

I kinda figured I wasn't told the truth. The NEST t'stat was supposed to come with the system. I suppose at some point, I'll go back and install the NEST... after I get the rest of the projects done.... :icon14:

So I just found out my buddy has been hoarding a mint condition Aerojacket duckbill spoiler in carbon fiber. Not some "Aerojacket-style" knockoff - it's the real OG part.

And it's for sale :happydance: :happydance: :happydance:

Hola Mr. Rusty.

Riddle me this poor flavor. ER70S-3 or ER70S-6, or does it really matter a hill-o-beans?

So, dropped the upper oil pan and removed oil slinger guard. Nothing i can see from underneath. Pulled spark plugs and they look great. After seeing some serious metal pieces in the oil pan, I would of thought it would have been reflected in that cylinder's spark plug. There is most likely a spun bearing. I was just thinking total destruction.

My money is still on oil gallery gasket caused dropped of oil pressure. It is a 2010 @38K miles. Interesting though, my 350z nismo at 39K miles just started symptoms of the oil gallery gasket problem. I was lucky enough to notice it and get it fixed. This is due to the 350's having oil pressure gauges.
