Not a belt, it was a chain. The car was regularly maintained and moderately driven (about 150k miles on the odo) - it's a very common failure on these engines. They suck

It was a timing chain - it failed somehow and destroyed the engine. It's a well known issue with this specific engine block which is why they stopped making them and they're impossible to find new-in-crate engines for this car.
It's a classic infographic which has been floating around the internet for a long time. Hopefully you're not trolling and did learn something - because more people need to understand the concept.
Because otherwise you end up with districts like this one in Texas which purposely segments the community to alter the votes in one's favor:
Fun fact about Gerrymandering, it was named after former Massachusetts governor and founding father Elbridge Gerry - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerrymandering
From the article
The charging decisions in the indictment reflect smart lawyering by the special counsel Jack Smith and his team. The beauty of this indictment is that it provides three legal frameworks that prosecutors can use to tell the same fulsome story.
It will allow prosecutors to put on a compelling case that will hold Mr. Trump fully accountable for the multipronged effort to overturn the election. At the same time, it avoids legal and political pitfalls that could have delayed or derailed the prosecution.
And further down
A conspiracy requires two or more people who agree to participate. This indictment lists but does not yet charge or formally identify six Trump co-conspirators. Mr. Smith clearly has enough evidence to charge those unindicted co-conspirators but has chosen not to — for now. This, too, is a smart tactical decision.
and in conclusion the author states
This indictment presents detailed and overwhelming allegations. It reflects sound legal and tactical decisions that should allow the government to move quickly and put on a powerful case.
It seems the feds already know exactly his his game, and wrote the indictment to head off as many avenues of delay that he may try to take.
Remember, Trump has decades experience fighting in civil court. Federal court is a very different ballgame.
My partner's old hyundai genesis always "smelled" like the engine had been running "hot" despite being fully OEM with no mods. Any time she drove back from a store and parked in the garage, I could go out an 20 later and smell that hot metal engine. Never had another car that smelled like the engine was running hot/hard.
Car only lasted ten years before the timing chain slipped off the pulley and destroyed the engine block. We'll never own another hyundai/kia product ever again that's for sure
Yep. You know how hot your phone gets when charging? Or how hot a playstation gets when gaming for hours at a time?
That's due to heat-loss generated by the circuits. Superconductors would allow them to run much cooler generating essentially zero heat. Which means they can run more efficiently or faster without the need for larger heatsinks or complicated expensive cooling systems.
Currently superconductors require extremely cold temperatures (not just freezing, but extreme subzero freezing temps) - this makes their use cases extremely limited as it is expensive to keep them cold enough.
The discovery of a room-temperature superconductor, would revolutionize energy transmission, transportation, electronics, medical imaging, and scientific research. It could lead to highly efficient power grids, faster trains, improved medical diagnostics, advanced electronics, and more energy-efficient technologies across industries, with potential benefits for renewable energy, space exploration, and fundamental physics understanding.
No. He didn't pay anything (as usual). Wealthy elites who want him re-elected have been using super PACs to funnel money to help cover bills like this one. Thanks to the loophole of PACs, they can basically throw as much cash as they want at someone beyond the legal personal contribution to a politician.
This PAC is the one who's directly paying the bills, not the orange clown.
Correct, because admitting that he's lied to them would rupture the very foundation of their beliefs. If he lied about that, what else has he lied about?
Instead they believe it's all a conspiracy. And that gives them power because it makes them feel "privileged" to know the "truth" as they want to believe it.
The more time that passes, the more I believe that the 2006 movie Idiocracy is absolutely a prophecy about the near future of our country.
Ever heard of "Trump Bucks"? People are literally paying real money with the belief that these are legal tender or will be in the near future. Retail workers have to deal with people trying to buy stuff with these fake bucks all the time and then argue with the employee when told it's not real money
My partner loved that car, I told them constantly "it's a beautiful looking car, but it's a hyundai" - damn I hated being right when that engine failed
