Yeah I'm voting on AI also.

re: Mechanic: EPA & CAFE standards ruining vehicles

I've watched quite a few of this guys videos and they run a pretty legit independent repair shop in Georgia.
I'd say it's 2 things:
1) Engineering for fuel economy, as a second to reliability.
2) Increasingly complex/unreliable systems due to low manufacturing cost (can bus type wiring, plastic engine components, lower sub-supplier quality).

Agreed.
If you want to keep your car long term most folks are recommending 5k intervals as a happy medium.
While some people report no problems, there are many documented cases of early wear and failure on modern engines with 10k intervals.
Oil is cheap compared to the engine.

It's pretty much a bespoke racecar that starts out life as a production mustang and then gets basically remanufactured by Multimatic in Canada.
You'd have to be pretty well off to buy one of these and have the scratch to use it as it was intended as a track car.

Yeah the homepage is down for me.
If you have old links in your history for previous videos those seem to work but access through the homepage is dead for me.

re: Auto Detailing recs

Generally you get what you pay for.
Are you looking for a true pro detailer or the same guys the dealerships use?
K Fauls does a good job for the money on daily driven vehicles. I had to stop by in person to get an appointment as they didn't really return calls in my experience.
Not H20 auto spa on Jefferson, total clown show.
Hi performance detail is also a good shop.
You need to understand there is a difference between a pro level detail/paint correction and a $200-$500 "detail" job for a daily driver.

FFS you have to present ID to buy a can of spray paint at Home Depot.

re: Looking for ideas on how to mount TV to Steel beam
Posted by AndyCBR on 2/13/26 at 8:39 pm to Uncle JackD
I would drill the holes in the column flange and if are really worried about future corrosion just cold galv, prime/paint, or seal them when you install the fasteners.
You wouldn't need very large holes I would think for a TV mount, 3/8" max for multiple 5/16" fasteners for the bracket (I assume the bracket would have 4-6 holes at a minimum).

These are the same people that say Muslims are persecuted even though some of them throw gay people off buildings under the name of Islam.
Having biological men compete against women is the real problem most people have, rightfully so.
The mental gymnastics of these people is astounding.

How is it suddenly selling strong?
I would disagree, the food has gotten consistently worse over the last several decades.
It was never great, now it is worse and overpriced.
The food has never been great but at least it was cheap.
Even with the increases I could absolutely afford to eat there but it just isn't good value for the money and is terribly over-processed unhealthy shite.
Haven't been to one in a year or more, and it was a staple in my younger days.

Despite what Elon says about robotics, I think we are a very long ways away from the cost vs. value working out.

Selfish chick. Instead of giving the alternate a shot, she got greedy and decided to hobble down instead. Not cool.
She was actually very competitive in her practice runs earlier, faster than several of her teammates.
She hooked a gate with her pole, it's a freak thing.
There is absolutely risk in skiing injured, but to imply she was a washed up has been, and had no chance at being competitive, is disingenuous, at best.

"Fiber does nothing to increase tensile strength, it just prevents crack migration."
Are you sure about that?
Read the paper you referenced. It notes the limits on using fiber, especially if you are not using steel fibers.
Ignorant people often jump on the fibermesh bandwagon, "$6 a yard and $0 labor, what's not to love?"
It just doesn't hold up as well in the long term as steel reinforcement properly placed, especially if there are subgrade failures or other increased stressors on the paving.
re: Concrete with mesh or fiber
Posted by AndyCBR on 2/4/26 at 6:52 pm to Royalfishing
I would use #3 rebar 24" OC with concrete bricks as chairs.
Relatively cheap and easy to have 20 foot sticks delivered.
Welded wire fabric sheets or rolls are a PITA to deal with in small quantities and the mesh always ends up trampled in the bottom the pour.

Are you sure they just won’t put you in an orthopedic boot?
I had ankle surgery in 2020 and no cast.
Even with that you have to wait a few weeks before submerging the incisions and staples. But it is much nicer than dealing with a cast.
