  • I’ve experienced this sort of thing with my car. it’s a old 50s car that had a engine swap and a few mods before I got it. so one one hand everything is universal but on the other hand I don’t know what is stock. I only know what sizes are currently under the hood. which wouldn’t be a problem if the guys at AutoZone or O’Reilly’s knew what the different sizes ment. Before I finally figured out what car my engine came from. id just measure the part I need. come in and tell them the part I need, and they would just sit confused until they just asked me what car is this part going into. sometimes the part happens to be stock bel air size, but sometimes they weren’t and the guy would have to bring the used part to the back. until they found something the right size. Hell even when I ordered online id have to wonder if I’m going to be fighting the “guarantee to fit your car thing.” because I don’t know if stock will work. Here at least you can navigate if you managed to find a conversation calculator. My measurement standards don’t matter no matter what unit I use.













  • Honestly I’m starting to wonder if the reason why we got ourselves into a ad filled hell hole is because we expect soo much to be free and those things have to make money somehow and server space and the electricity they run on aren’t free and the only people willing to spend money are whales and advertisers and from what I’ve been told YouTube was never profitable on it’s own for Google and the only reason they’ve been keeping the site on is because it brings attention to other Google services while also preventing competition so I greatly think we’d all benefit from being open to paying for sites that are like YouTube so YouTube and advertisers have some real competitors I don’t know how a my theoreticall site would profit without ads but it’s still sad that sites like YouTube are expensive and unprofitable making it so Google is the only option solely because they can afford the loses making yt premium even more greedy
