  • It is a two party problem but dems and their cult-like followers act like the politicians they worship can do no wrong. Both parties are businesses and that’s it.

    EDIT: She didn’t respond to the Chinese tariffs question either. Stop glorifying politicians. None of them are being straight with you, because they’re playing the fence for votes. You can admit that politicians are bad AND you can still support and vote for them.

    Diagnosing A/C Failure When Idling
  • Thanks!

    Hm idk if I hear the clutch engaging but it definitely is. I can hear a loud motor type of sound when it’s engaged. Just don’t know how much it is engaged tho. Is this something that wears out?

    It’s never overheating when it happens. Temp is good.

    Charged the freon last year with a pump and gauges. Should be good but maybe there’s a leak. If there’s a leak would it work while driving but not while stopped for some time?

    Diagnosing A/C Failure When Idling
  • I’ll do another test today, but the fan is on lat time I checked. Any way to check how engaged the clutch is? When I spin it after turning off the car is doesn’t spin freely but how can I tell if the clutch is locking up as much as it should?

  • Diagnosing A/C Failure When Idling

    2001 QX4

    It has been 90+ degrees where I live and when idling for more than 10-15 min, the A/C stops blowing cold and is humid. Works great otherwise when ambient temps are low and car is moving. The Freon pressure is good. The Enser is old and has some dents, but has been cleaned and looks to be getting airflow. How can I tell what is wrong? Replace the radiator fan clutch? Condenser? Something else? Should also note that the engine temp gets high when on long stretches up uphill highway, but I think that is somewhat normal for an old car, no? Thanks!

    Not talking about touching the little guys. Talking about something like limiting sales or buys to $1M per day to curb the leverage these big corps have on the market.

    Big guys like Berkshire have so much leverage in the market. They can sell a huge chunk of stocks causing chaos and a huge drop in price, then buy low and profit. The stock market isn’t fair to regular investors. You’re at the mercy of these big firms.

    New rotors and semi metallic pads. Rubbing/vibratong noise when coming to complete stop and when lifting off pedal from complete stop.

    The age old tire pressure question

    2001 Infiniti QX4

    Placard on car says 26 psi cold

    Does this look under-inflated? What’s the lowest I should go?

    Put single new tire in front open diff or rear weak LSD (~60lb breakaway)

    2001 Infiniti QX4 Automatic 4WD with RWD bias (4WD only kicks in when rear slips)

    Had to replace one tire. Should new tire be on front with open diff or rear with LSD rated around 60lb breakaway torque?

    The rest of the tires have about 60% tread left. Less than 15k miles on them.

    I’m thinking front but want to make sure it won’t cause pulling to one side or mess something up.

    Thanks!

    EDIT: I know I should do pairs. Wondering if anybody had an opinion if I just kept the one.

    p2a.co Take Action: Ask your U.S Representative to support the Fair Representation Act!

    I just emailed my U.S. Representative, asking them to support the Fair Representation Act! Join me by doing the same: [@campaign]

    The Fair Representation Act has been re-introduced in Congress. This bold solution can stop gerrymandering and make Congress work for every American.

    The Fair Representation Act can solve partisan gerrymandering, make every congressional district competitive, and encourage politicians to represent all of us instead of just their base. It does this by combining three reforms:

    • Multi-member districts. In three- or five-member districts, nearly every voter will elect a candidate they support. Voters like Massachusetts Republicans and Oklahoma Democrats will be represented in Congress. Gerrymandering will become nearly impossible.

    • Ranked choice voting for all U.S. House and Senate elections. RCV frees voters to support their favorite candidates, and encourages candidates to reach out to more voters for second-choice support. When RCV is used in multi-member districts, it is a form of proportional representation.

    • Uniform rules for congressional redistricting

    The Fair Representation Act can be passed without a constitutional amendment. It truly has the potential to transform our political system and create a more inclusive and deliberative government which respects and empowers all voices.

    It doesn’t make any sense to me that leaders of countries can declare war with total immunity from its violence, unless they’re actually fighting themselves, which in most cases they are not.

    They have nothing to lose when they declare war, so why should they be allowed to put all of us at risk?

    How can the Laws of War be changed to hold politicians accountable for their actions and make them think long and hard before engaging in wars? Maybe alternatively, all politicians including the president/PM/leader should have to serve in the military as well.

    Specifically because I live in a hot climate, I'm always fighting the feeling of being suspicious of anybody I pass in the streets with a hoodie pulled up. I feel guilty because of racial profiling associated with hoodies, but gotta protect myself and my family, especially because in many cases the perpetrators of assault and murder seen in media are somebody with a hood and/or mask on.

    About 200 soldiers abandoned their base in the southeastern town of Myawaddy and have been pushed to the No 2. Friendship Bridge linking Myanmar to Thailand following an attack Wednesday night by Karen resistance fighters, a spokesperson for the Karen National Union told CNN Thursday.
