@beverleyturner Everyone knows what the dinner incident was all about. Tanking polls and a war which they are losing . Even you are not that dumb

As many of you will know, I am an open-minded person who is largely capable of seeing things from many angles. I have learned to trust my judgment on what is real and fake. I trust my gut and draw upon my experiences to tell me about people, relationships and situations. Last night's attempted assassination at #whcd HAPPENED. I saw nobody who appeared to 'secretly' know this was theatre. When you are ACTUALLY THERE with the sights, sounds, smells of an occasion, it is easy to detect fact from fiction. I know that all trust in 'elites' has gone. But don't let that make you a d**k. Be smarter than that.

Idly browsing for a more suitable car. What's your biggest turn offs on adverts? For me so far: * Smoked or 4D plates * Chinese tyres * Fault lights "but drives fine" * Doncaster or Bradford location * Advert in Slavic * Priced at £2k over average Fire away with the rest

@MattTakeThree @grayheath56 I follow a couple of techs on tik tok just to keep in the loop somewhat. I wouldn't go back to it. Simple stuff; new stuff you might need to pay £xx to use manufactures portal to reset a service light. Imagine trying to explain why you've charged £50 just to do that

@potus18_grant @FrankBr05713205 @NorSwegianMN Even when they were the predominant type, you never really changed many. In my 20 years on cars maybe changed a handful. Mostly it was a leaky seal or split pipe. Even pumps weren't that common

For years cars have used hydraulic steering racks that used power steering fluid. Todays cars use electric steering racks which use no power steering fluid. Biggest difference to car owners is replacement cost. The hydraulic rack can be had for approx. $200 to $300 on most cars (plus labor). The electric rack will set you back $ 1,800 (part only) and much more depending on vehicle and they have to be programmed after installation. Technology comes at a cost many times. I will stick to keeping a 3 dollar bottle of power steering fluid on hand for my older car.

Apple‘a custom pentalobe screw so devious. 5-point flower shape design made to be “tamper resistant” but really just locked out third-party repair. Wildest part was not realizing it was custom and trying to use Torx screw, scratching it up and making it hard to open even with a proper pentalobe screw.

Apple’s $599 Neo looks like the most repairable Macbook ever: > modular pieces > swappable ports and keyboards > battery comes right out (no adhesive tabs or sticky glue) > no special screws (one of the most savage Apple moves) Phone Repair Guru swapped out every piece and it works fine. Hallelujah. *** Full vid here: youtu.be/Ma3mJ2R6OXo?si…

If you install a dropped-curb, under the pretence of turning your clearly under-sized front garden into a driveway, just so that you can reserve an on-street parking space outside your house, you should have to pay an extra £1000 a year in council tax.

To celebrate the launch of my second book #JUMBO today, the Hong Kong skyline was graced with some beautiful photos of 747’s projected on a building. Let’s see if we can get #JUMBO trending today by please posting your favourite 747 photos with the JUMBO hashtag. Have a great day

@adrianfclarke @en4rab @MrJamesMay The head gasket in the later ones were alright. 91 -98 were the issue years. Was usually a misdiagnosed leaky oil cooler or t.stat leak that would over heat causing hgf.

@en4rab @MrJamesMay I know the KV6 was partial to a head gasket but I think the fours were sorted by then.

I always thought these were a very handsome car but held back by their retro details. Excellent volumes and proportions let down by being run through the ‘middle England circa 1959’ filter.

@PrayerGarden @pradyots @ImBreckWorsham @RepThomasMassie 'Also I don't think you understand how damaging these files will be to many of the stars and well known people'. What kind of argument is that? Wealth and status should not exempt anyone from scrutiny

I don't think you understand fully what is ACTUALLY happening. First off it's funny seeing the left get all up in arms about these files, when they didn't really care about them until they thought Trump was in them. They don't want the files they want Trump gone. How do you get around that...well if I was the military I would plant seeds that Trump is in them. Have Trump speak in a way that make people REee because orange man bad and this is our shot. And right on schedule the left is doing just that. Perfect planning. Military planning at it's finest. Also I don't think you understand how damaging these files will be to many of the stars and well known people. There was a risk of people getting to riled up and that could be super dangerous. The military is planting the narrative of these files so we all begin to accept it on a sub conscious level. I hate to break it to you but Trump is not in these files. If he was Someone would have leaked them or the left would have done more during Biden. Certain people are putting it on Trump because they are trying to force his hand so chaos comes about and they can try and hide in that chaos. There is no hiding. Truth is coming out. God is moving in a mighty way. God WINS

Trump is angrier at @RepThomasMassie for trying to expose Epstein's sex trafficking of children than he is at Epstein for sex trafficking children. Do with that what you will.

Every congressional democrat and every democrat who's running for president should be asked a simple question: Do you think this officer was wrong in defending his life against a deranged leftist who tried to run him over? These people are going to try to arrest our law enforcement for doing their jobs. The least the media could do is ask them about it. x.com/i/status/20089…
