PM Sheryl, she will have recommendations.

The ethylene glycol usually in the coolant package would probably attack the plastic components in the radiator, hence the warning. Engines are a lot more expensive than radiators. The logic of buying a cheap part in place of a radiator designed to be compatible with the engine escapes me. Coolants have corrosion inhibitors in their formulation. By operating the system with only water, and a mixture of alloy and steel, you are inviting rust in.

IMO the percentage of women who check the oil, water and tire pressures of a vehicle would be close to zero.

It's easy and cheap enough to run a compression test on an engine, then have the cylinder head off to check the coolant passages for corrosion. If it passes both of those inspections, it should be good to go. Forgot - if the OP replaces the engine, he should also replace the radiator. The one he has is very probably cactus.

I can see cracks in the photos posted by the op. IMO it would be a waste of time and money to recondition it.

The amount of rust present on the cylinders, and in coolant passages, indicates IMO someone has been skimping on maintenance, not using coolant additive. Rust impedes heat transfer. Coolant elevates the boiling point of the water in the system. As another poster has said, engine from a crashed vehicle. Next time around, use the vehicle manufacturer's recommended coolant. Or expect a repeat stuffed engine.

What was there in the jury instructions which might be grounds for appeal? I would hate trying to represent Trump, he can't keep his mouth shut when he would be well advised to do so.

He also said during the video deposition "stars" have been getting away with sexual assault " fortunately or unfortunately". It was probably true; however, the three women on the jury probably took that as an admission of sexual predation.

Trump is the one who is stupid. If he had simply said " No, I did not rape her" and left it at that, IMO he would have been OK. It was the defamation that sunk him. Plus doubling down in his deposition, and Truth Social posts. At the end of the day, it was a question of who the jury believed, E Jean Carroll, or Trump. I am reminded of the aphorism "It is better to stay silent, and be taken for a fool, than to open one's mouth, and remove all doubt".

I can see the point of taxing someone with a high superannuation balance. As many commentators have said, super was meant to fund retirement, not for generational transfer. I can't see the point of taxing people on $26,000 per year. As I have said before, the gain is too small for the potential backlash. No doubt a Liberal government would, their whole philosophy revolves around war on anyone receiving benefits, and fattening the rich even further. Check out how many Liberal MP's are negative gearing properties. With this budget, IMO Chalmers has destroyed the Liberal claim to be more responsible economic managers. I'm predicting Dutton's response will fly with voters like a lead Zeppelin.

The Federal Budget has been handed down. There is no mention of taxing expat pensioners ( or any expat for that matter ) at 32.5%, or implementation of any 183 day rule. Unless such changes are buried in very fine detail, you may have to find another drum to beat. https://thenewdaily.com.au/finance/news-federal-budget/2023/05/09/federal-budget-2023-winners-losers/?utm_campaign=News Alert - 20230509_Budget Night&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Adestra&lr_hash=6532358006ffdf91b6b45ab0f13d0b1c

A properly done implant means extraction, 1-2 months of healing, screw and bone graft if necessary, another couple of months before final capping of the post. Any thing faster runs the risk of failure at 40-50%. As described, less than 5%. I have had three implants, no general anesthetic. Pain is only for 1-2 days at each stage.. Said implants have been in my mouth for about 8 years, still going strong.

Is your depression caused by insufficient sleep? Does your mind go around as if it is on a treadmill when trying to sleep? Do you drink alcohol? It's a depressant which may also increase anxiety. I was prescribed antidepressants for many years. I have not taken any for about 10 years. I learned there are alternatives to antidepressants, such as drowsy anti-histamines, plus a positive mindset. Every medication we take has side-effects. Some place heavy burdens on the kidneys and liver. I am astounded paracetamol remains an over-the-counter drug. In combination with alcohol, it can cause serious liver damage. https://www.google.com/search?channel=fs&client=ubuntu&q=Alcohol+depressant https://www.google.com/search?channel=fs&client=ubuntu&q=paracetamol+and+alcohol+liver+damage

Some vehicle manufacturers have cars which are dedicated LPG, without a petrol tank in sight. AFAIK they start on LPG without petrol assistance. They should, the flash point of LPG is lower. On the vehicles I had converted, there was a bailout which enabled starting on LPG if the petrol tank was empty. IIRC, cylinder head temperatures are 300 C for petrol, 400 C for LPG. CNG is even higher at 600 C. I'm not sure what overhead cams have to do with valve seats, except for being connected via the valves.

As a previous poster has said, 15-20% increased fuel consumption. I can't speak for the cost of LPG conversion in Thailand, in Australia IIRC I recouped conversion cost in about 3 years. It depends on yearly kilometres of travel. LPG makes for higher cylinder head temperatures, and has no lubricant properties as petrol and diesel do. I used to run the system on the basis of one quarter of a tank to every tank of LPG. Complete conversion to LPG would be risky, unless the engine valve seats are specially hardened. Better to stay with a dual fuel system.

Unless the line is printed in Thai script, it will be spelled any which way. "You are beautiful, I want to see you naked please". No, not you.

Agreed.

If you are talking about bar girls, I agree. Less likely to find English speakers in massage shops, 7/11's and restaurants. If your pickup line was Khun suay, dongan hen khun long jawn krap, I'm not surprised they would reject you.

Here's me thinking Americans were brainwashed by him.

Is there any analysis of how many of the serious condition patients were vaccinated vs unvaccinated?

IIRC stress corrosion cracking of stainless requires a temperature of 60 C to take place. Pinholes are another matter, either related to poor quality SS or, as another poster has suggested, corrosion at a weld boundary.

Utmost respect for a true gentleman, who helped me several times. Gone too soon, but not forgotten. It is a rare event when a thread is unanimous in its posts. RIP a legend.

It depends on what kind of metal the tank is, which the OP does not specify. Very unlikely with stainless, quite probable with a galvanized tank as the sacrificial protection of the zinc fails. An old trick to prolong galvanized tank life is throwing a couple of chunks of concrete into the tank, thereby raising the Langelier index, and promoting scaling.

Quote from Kia: No special break-in period is needed. By following a few simple precautions for the first 1,000 km (600 miles) you may add to the performance, economy and life of your vehicle. Do not race the engine. While driving, keep your engine speed (rpm, or revolutions per minute) between 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm https://www.google.com/search?channel=fs&client=ubuntu&q=kia+running+in+engine+recommendation The manual specifies the first service is at 15,000 km. IIRC, I asked for a link first, which has not appeared.

Doesn't matter, as long as I am comfortable. My GF doesn't seem to mind.
