You could also convert cars by putting harder valve seats in, not sure if this happened a lot at the time, or whether it’s more for classic cars that are worth enough to make sense to do. I don’t think the lead was primarily an anti knock additive, more of a valve and bore lubricant

I recently replaced the heating element in my delonghi coffee machine, and was also surprised to see how wild it was inside

I’ve been using retroarch with the Genesis Plus GX core, and that seems to work well and is open source. Not everyone loves retroarch, but I’ve moved to it so I can use some of the more interesting HDR 4k CRT shaders

Was hoping to find this here, many happy childhood memories playing this one

I’m pretty sure that is also the case in the US. These incidents are either caused by some sort of defeat device (I have seen weights that wrap around the steering wheel, no idea if they work), or people who have just gotten good at resting a hand on the wheel and not paying attention I think

We don’t tend to use air/air heat pump systems in the UK, even for new builds, always air/water.

Because of lower water temperature output of heat pumps compared to the gas boilers they replace, usually you need to increase the size of radiators to be able to achieve a room temperature change in a reasonable time. What is being referred to as efficiently, is actually just a measure of performance of the radiator, not actual energy efficiency.

I was bitten by a golden retriever when I was 12. It looked friendly so I went to pet it, and it sunk a canine into my arm. I was just unlucky (and slightly stupid) though, and it didn’t rip my face off, so I think I did ok overall.

A German shepherd also tried to bite me when passing it on a narrow path, but it just shredded my jacket pocket.

A Yorkshire terrier also had a go at me once, but didn’t make it through denim jeans.

The UK only offers 2 weeks, and they are paid at a very low rate (£172 p/w). Most people I know didn’t take it, and either booked normal holiday leave or just went back to work.

Yes, the UK justice system works on the same principle

This is why I only carjack rental cars, it’s totally not stealing!

That 30fps though. I’m not sure I can do it any more tbh, now I’m at 120, even 60 can feel sluggish in some titles.

Good call on game pass though, I’ll check it out on PC at launch I think too.

Why not just replace them all with Lemmy newbie guides, or links to similar?
