I have invented a pregnancy test app. You download it and then piss on the screen and if the screen gets covered in piss, you're not allowed to have kids.

Nobody is getting drafted... 99 % of y'all are overweight, on drugs, didn't graduate, can't shoot, can't run and don't have an ounce of selflessness in you. Relax. Your country will not rely on you for protection.

This App Can Diagnose Rare Diseases From a Child's Face

Doctors often struggle to identify rare conditions they may only see once in a lifetime. Face2Gene helps specialists find others with the same condition.

US astronaut returns to Earth with Russian cosmonauts after record-breaking mission

Mark Vande Hei rides back with Anton Shkaplerov and Pyotr Dubrov after 355 days at International Space Station, a US record

Despite escalating tensions between the US and Russia over Vladimir Putin’s war with Ukraine, Vande Hei’s return followed customary procedures. A small Nasa team of doctors and other staff was on hand for the touchdown and planned to return immediately to Houston with the 55-year-old astronaut.

On Wednesday, the Department of Energy, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the NSA, and the FBI jointly released an advisory about a new hacker toolset potentially capable of meddling with a wide range of industrial control system equipment. More than any previous industrial control system hacking toolkit, the malware contains an array of components designed to disrupt or take control of the functioning of devices, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs) that are sold by Schneider Electric and OMRON and are designed to serve as the interface between traditional computers and the actuators and sensors in industrial environments. Another component of the malware is designed to target Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture (OPC UA) servers—the computers that communicate with those controllers.

wow! my 29 year old truck is 359.00 per year! and it's diesel, and old enough no smog in PRC.

Mine's a 98 chevy 6.5 turbo diesel. (same engine and drive train as the military humvees)

Back in october It blew a head gasket and I didn't have the ducats to get it fixed, so had to try and do it myself.

Never worked on a diesel before and it took 2 weeks to pull enough stuff off just to pull the valve covers.

Pulling the hood and using my cactus cradle and a come-along, I managed to lift the heads out.

Got it all back together and it was blowing white smoke. (unburned fuel)

The injector lines are bent to shape, so didn't think I could get them mixed up.

Last week I finally figured out that I got the 4 and 5 lines mixed up at the injector pump.

All better now, but I missed a lot of work during my busiest time of year. :(

ygmir · Post by **ygmir** » Wed May 11, 2022 3:12 pm

interesting, I've always seen white smoke as steam, therefor coolant in the cylinder. Unburned diesel in my experience has always been black. Oil, blue.
But anyway, glad you got it fixed! yeah, everything on the diesels is heavy. But durable.

FIGJAM · Post by **FIGJAM** » Wed May 11, 2022 5:52 pm

Running on 6 cylinders because of 4 and 5 being out of sequence meant fuel passing with no compression.

Excess fuel IS black (rolling coal). but unburned just passing through the system was white.

While figuring this out I HAD to get SOME work done, so ran it on 6 cylinders for about 4oo miles.

All gauges rock steady, and no fluids contaminated or lost. :lol:
