  • Fyi for anyone afraid to change their own oil for fear of dumping it all on the driveway, just look up a (Canadian manufactured) “oil transfer pump” (manual or electric) and ensure the tube it comes with will fit and reach down to the bottom of your oil tank through the dipstick. Then pump it out into a container. Afterwards you can take the bolt out and get anything that may be left, in my experience a drop or two. Also saves me from having to jack up my car to fit the tub under, I can use a shallower pan.







  • I gotta say, surprised everyone is attributing the “snap” sound to hitting the pad of your thumb.

    All y’all veteran snappers, try this. Lift up your pinky, then snap. Makes a much higher pitched snap. Now lift up your ring finger, then snap. No snap at all. Your pinky and ring finger make a sort of tube, and your thumb is striking one end of it (the crevice between thumb pad and ring finger tip) to make a tone. I’m even able to smack that spot with a finger on the OTHER hand and make a (quieter) snap.

    Hope this helps.










  • One of the laws, AB 2602, protects artists from being bound to contracts that allow the use of their digital voices or images, whether in lieu of their actual work or to train AI.

    The other law, AB 1836, specifically protects digital likenesses as part of performers’ posthumous right of publicity, a legal right that protects people’s identities from unauthorized commercial use.

    Good for them, seems necessary. Nothing to protect regular people, of course.
