Stabilizers are marketing BS, they can't rejuvenate old fuel and they generally work by introducing an additional component that reduces the ability of the fuel (mostly the methanol content) to absorb water ... however they rarely have a positive effect over all because they cause other problems.

Long shelf-life fuel is made in the refining stage. European standard E10 petrol can last a year or more if it's stored correctly ... I know this because I sometimes do store it for that long by accident.

That's not correct. I have ethanol-free petrol for my chainsaw that has a shelf life of 5 years guaranteed (probably lasts longer, since that's from the time of purchase)

It's realistic that the most vicious people would hold on to the status symbols of before, and to indoctrinate those born after into the same way of thinking

Congratulations!

I wish you a long and loving life together <3

Meh, I broke my leg a month after meeting a beautiful lady, she decided to stay over to help me out while I couldn't walk.

We're coming up for our 10 year anniversary, and still very much in love.

It doesn't always work out, but sometimes it does so it's worth trying :-)

I once jumped a car onto a moving train while on fire

Yeah, I live halfway up a small mountain (in Europe) and usually have everything needed to survive a month, including if the water and power are cut.

We're currently putting together a pair of bug-out bags as well though, so we can be mobile in an emergency too

Just chipping in to say I ate a can of food that was made during WW2 in 1990, so yeah cans do keep for a long time ... when they get very old the trick is to shake the can before opening and if it sounds like there's air inside it's gone bad

The inverse is also true, my wife is an exceptional programmer, and is cute and wears boy's clothes :-)

I'm keen to see if Ballerina is going to be a good spin-off, buuut not super on board with another John Wick ... the story had a good end, and it would be nice to just leave it on a high.

I recently did a marathon of the four films, and TBH after the first one it really did feel like a marathon. I got up and made drinks during some of the fights and didn't feel like I'd missed anything.

The part with Halle Berry was good, the final big set piece up the cathedral steps was great, and the final ending excellent, but I don't think I'm going to re-watch any other part again.

I tried to watch it about two weeks ago with my other half since it's a movie neither of us has seen, we got to about 45 mins in decided to give up. I think it's one of the worst movies I've ever tried to watch

 

Hi, Iḿ not in the US, but earlier this year had the opportunity to try shooting firearms of various sorts for the first time, and it's something I'd like expand my knowledge about ... when I go on youtube the videos I've seen have been American with a right-wing lean which range from comedic, through surreal, and into creepy.

It would be nice to see content from people who are vaguely normal.

(Edit: especially if it has to do with revolvers!)

 

Are there any other shows out there of this sort of lighthearted nature, yet made with quality writing, out there?

It feels like a lot of recent things we've watched has been a bit grim and/or relies on spectacle rather than telling a good story and working a few jokes in along the way ... the world is on fire, I'd like to stop it and get off, if only for a few minutes at a time.
