Thanks, genius.

That’s great. I understand that the real premature failure rate is higher but only for certain engines. The idea that one could then go and apply it to all Subarus is what I’m talking about. We’re not talking about an old model of WRXs that had that problem, we’re talking about all Subarus.

Idk what tumors you are talking about, but you have described a dead political movement. They will go back to just having shitty thoughts, which is not a movement.

Base 10 measurement systems such as the metric system cannot divide distances into thirds or sixths without creating irrational numbers. This can be a problem for interior designers and landscape designers, for instance, who regularly need to create drafts for projects that break up measurements that way. The imperial system is more versatile in this particular instance because you can break a foot into 12 inches, which is divisible by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (yes, still wouldn’t be irrational), and 6. Much more versatile when your contractor needs to actually go out and make a measurement in the real world. While metric could be “good enough” for that purpose, it is not the most ideal.

I mean folks buy more bicycles than e-bikes a year, and they are even cheaper to maintain. I don’t see your point when a majority of people’s needs would not be served in the US with e-bikes. Perhaps in other communities that don’t require as much car dependence, sure.

Sorry about that. My Mazdaspeed3 has been running with no problems since 2013 despite all the concerns about VVT/timing chain problems and bad turbo seals you see all over the internet. Another Chevy of mine I once had was rife with problems even though I did all the proper maintenance.

That sure sounds like a dead movement to me.

Idk what to tell you, they are all still driving their Subarus after many years. Some of them WRXs. I like cars, so when someone has a Subaru, I do ask them about any problems they have had because I’m curious. So far, no head gasket failures. Maybe some of them had cars that previously had head gasket failures and were repaired before they purchased the vehicles. That’s not so likely, as folks don’t tend to sell their vehicles after doing expensive mechanical work like a head gasket change. Plus, if they’re replacing a faulty head gasket for the exact same Subaru head gasket, why have the head gaskets in their cars not blown again? They’re just putting in the same shitty gasket design, right?

There’s a government shutdown looming, who’s to say it doesn’t have something to do with that? Y’know, since their paychecks come from the government.

Thanks for that diagram of shot zones on planes that returned to the bunker. Got an argument to make? Are you suggesting that my friends would cease to be my friends if their head gaskets blew? I don’t get the relation. Since I have an equally good chance of meeting someone with a Subaru that has a good head gasket vs a bad one, I don’t see any selection bias. What I’m suggesting is that there is selection bias on the internet. No one makes a post about how well their Subarus head gaskets are working— they only post on the internet when there is a problem.

The metric system, base 10, is not easily breakable into thirds without irrational numbers. In aesthetic fields, such as landscaping or interior design, the ability to break something into exact thirds, quarters, halves, fifths, sixths, and so on, is invaluable. It’s not just cultural. It sounds like it is to you, which is weird… why are you personally identifying with a unit of measurement?

I also don’t understand your Liberia reference. Could you elaborate?

Vance is a dud, the MAGA movement will die with Rump

I’ve known plenty of people with Subarus and none have had head gasket issues. I think the problem is exaggerated because it’s memed.

Yes, but an EV also needs insurance, maintenance, and tires. OP’s post is pointing out a distinction between EVs and ICE vehicles.

I’m sorry that you can’t seem to see it any other way, but that is just not reality. The imperial system has many uses that the metric system is not apt for.

Your example of not mixing systems up within projects is somewhat valid, but not applicable to the whole. There are a lot of uses for Imperial, and using Imperial in landscaping does not have a chance of causing catastrophic failure in rocket science.

This thread is full of middle schoolers who don’t realize that you can measure things in whatever system you want, regardless of country. The whole premise of this circlejerk is faulty.

We actually use both. Imperial is easier to break into 3rds, but can still break down into other bases easily without any irrational numbers. Metric is more useful for science, but my mom who does landscaping prefers Imperial for her designs because it’s not stuck in base-10.

Europeans are the ones who refuse to learn more than one system lol

You can’t just move away from the false statements you’ve made by filling comments with paragraphs of your feelings. Antifa is not an organization and they do not have a website. The rest of your feelings you’re talking about are invalid because your point is invalid.
