I feel like my mind just crystallized...

[chaskuss]

Ouch, ouch, ouch! OK, I give up, I give up. No arguing with graphs!

glad I didn't expound on my theory of the ice crystal fairys.

Isn't that related to the Lucas Electrical theory of "magic smoke"?

Grease it cold here. The Northern Hemi is froze from here to the top of the ball.

small droplets of very pure water can remain liquid down to below -30 C although ice is the stable state below 0 C.[1]





Nucleation of carbon dioxide bubbles around a finger.Bubbles of carbon dioxide nucleate shortly after the pressure is released from a container of carbonated liquid such as Coca-Cola or champagne.

Strange how water in it's liquid form seems to expand and displace some of it's volume into the coolant reservoir as it gets hotter,( before boiling occurs) yet as it freezes into a Solid it expands again but can't flow into the reservoir and just freezes and breaks the engine block. I knew I shouldn't have used the GL5 antifreeze containers with the big funnel to drain my MGDs from my system the last couple days

[maven]

Yup, water is really the only common liquid that expands is it heats up AND expands when it freezes solid.

Dr.D , did you give a donation to the Venetian Blind when you were there ?

No I kept my donations a little closer to home by contributing to "Funding for the cure for men who suffer from significant shrinkage associated with immersion in very cold water"

[patch]

do they need any test subjects?

[Witsend]

The capital "E" is average conditions here on Earth the vertical line the left of that E represents the temperature/pressure relationship at which the liquid/solid change occurs, follow that line and youll see theres negligible real world difference in freeze point from 10mBar all the way to 100bar or from 29.62"hg (a 99% complete vacuum) all the way to 1,450psi

Maven, So basically if a Space shuttle technician drank on earth too much and passed out with a high BAC he might freeze stiff in the cargo hold of the shuttle that left earth and became a frozen corpse at 100 degrees below zero instead of 99 degrees below zero in the hold at very low pressure , but after a few hours , when the astronauts fully depressurize the cargo hold, and open the doors of the shuttle fully to the vacuum of outer space the frozen NASA technician would instantly thaw, boil, vaporize and become a frozen explosion in the the vacuum of space in a matter of moments. That crystallizes my mind that you must be the guy that gets all the cars that all the other guys play too stupid to fix at the dealership. Best to play you don't know half as much as you do if you are on flat rate at a car dealer I've found.

[maven]

Yup, I am indeed "that guy"....the one who was smart enough to be noticed and given all the stuff other techs/shops were smart enough to play dumb with.... Our shop gets a lot of stuff that the other local dealers "cant" fix. It pays my bills and keeps me from getting bored.

If I were to buy a smaller toolbox and go to a different brand shop as a "B" tech I could probably pocket more money...but only until they realized i was fixing stuff their other B techs couldnt and I got promoted to "A" again.

Im too smart for my own good, cant play dumb. Ive embraced it, because I also end up getting gravy jobs that other techs decline just because it "seems" too hard.

[Dr.Jake]

DrD speaks..

You going to be the next PEWDIEPIE ? I don't know, I kinda made most of the videos to add to the shopkey content. I don't really want to get into the DIY stuff. It's kind of like doing side jobs, the cash is nice but sooner or later it seems to come at a cost. I turned back on some of the new technology, got rid of the cell phone and stuff, I didn't find it all that helpful. Forums like this where ideas can be shared are good. When I come across something cool to show or new diagnostic technique I'll post another video but I'll leave it as a hobby for now. If you have a camera and an internet connection, you can make some fruit today and get artistic, that's a good thing. Using the internet to insult or hate, not so much.

[Dr.Jake]

I ULL give ya 10,000 dollars for youtube werk.

[DrD907]

I keep gettin better looking every day!
