[00:13]	IsambardPrince	My car has a big problem with fuel injector cleanliness.
[00:13]	IsambardPrince	But every once in a while I use 2-3 bottles of Techron concentrate in a row and the problems subside for another year or two.
[00:13]	IsambardPrince	It's cheaper to clean them up a bit with that than it is to replace injectors.
[00:14]	IsambardPrince	You can replace one injector, but when they're all marginal, that can create the "Uh oh, I made a clean spot" problem. One cylinder runs so much better than the others that the engine overall runs worse.

[01:06]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: I don't think there are any oil leaks going on in my car right now. If I start losing some again I'll put UV dye in it and top off and that way I can shine a flashlight and see where all it's coming from.
[01:07]	MinceR	i like that word... dye.
[01:08]	IsambardPrince	" Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, one of President Donald Trumps fiercest advocates for military action in Iran, said that Congress will have to approve any proposal to end the war."
[01:09]	IsambardPrince	I don't think any President has been as openly contemptuous of Congress as Trump is.
[01:09]	IsambardPrince	He will make a bad deal with Iran just to try to end the nightmare that he himself began.
[01:09]	IsambardPrince	And he's not going to run it past anyone.
[01:09]	MinceR	:>
[01:09]	IsambardPrince	Iran will probably roll us. 
[01:09]	MinceR	yeah, presidents tend to be less openly contemptuous of congresses than kings
[01:10]	IsambardPrince	Key points being the "tollbooth" that only accepts payments in Chinese money stays.
[01:10]	IsambardPrince	And they keep the uranium.
[01:10]	MinceR	lol
[01:10]	MinceR	well, if the tollbooth stays, then nazi america has lost

[01:45]	IsambardPrince	[19:10] <MinceR> they could win if they dared to use nukes, but they don't
[01:45]	IsambardPrince	I wonder why we don't.
[01:45]	IsambardPrince	We should just blow up Tehran and then tell Europe "Hey, about that airspace, we're good."
[01:45]	MinceR	because then others will also start launching theirs
[01:46]	IsambardPrince	How? Russia and China haven't been attacked at that point.
[01:46]	MinceR	they might still decide it's the right time for them to retailate anyway
[01:46]	IsambardPrince	Having nukes means you can only use one when the other guy doesn't have them.
[01:46]	MinceR	no, you can also use them when the other guy does have them
[01:47]	MinceR	it might be somewhat more costly though
