Yes, I do. When I'm saying "UI" I say "you-aye".

Ugh, no way! "you-are-ell" for me!

Quote: "Clonkex 423 posts (2 double posts)"


Wow, I've moved a long way up that list since the last count!

He said "he's" twice. Read it again more carefully - TheComet also should have used a comma after the second word

I intentionally left out the comma in order to sound more hasteful. It's two independent clauses, as Clonkex pointed out.

Ah, if I become a teacher someday, I will create a multiple choice test with all of the questions structured like that, as well as directions that specify that only one answer is correct.

There's a trick: Double-click-drag. You can double-click on the first word, then drag your curser over to the last word. It's a lot easier.

Pfffffffffffffffft. One of the things I look forward to each morning is reading a few posts, but today there are none. Silly forum dwellers. Now I am going to go into a corner and cry. *goes into corner* *arrives in corner* *cries* *realizes this is very odd* *stops typing post* *sends post*

Clonkex being demoted attracted a lot of attention. Maybe we should promote him again, only to be demoted a week later, and keep doing that repeatedly until we run out of reasons for demotion.

Clonkex, how's your MAF sensor doing?

After we got our Land Rover back from the shop, we discovered a fuel smell. Turns out, the fuel lines are under 2,800 PSI, which is a lot! We found the leak, called the shop, and they asked to have the Rover back in to repair that as well. What's neat is that they sent out a person to pick up our Land Rover, and in doing so, they dropped off a super nice Range Rover for us to use until we get the Land Rover back. Sweet deal!

Hasn't arrived yet Crappy Australia Post. According to the tracking number it arrived in Australia (Sydney, no less) on Tuesday - normally stuff from Sydney comes in about two days, so this is just really annoying. Here's hoping it arrives in Monday.

WHAT?! Are you sure?? Surely not! That's insanely high-pressure!

Quote: "and in doing so, they dropped off a super nice Range Rover for us to use until we get the Land Rover back."


Oooh, is it a Range Rover Evoque? We had one of them when we left our Land Rover at the dealer for free repairs (a part recall from years ago that we didn't know about ) and the Evoque was absolutely gorgeous! It made me realise how the posh people live, and it was very alluring

It's my birthday tomorrow. None of us thought to decide what I should get for my birthday, so I won't really get anything tomorrow - but since I couldn't think of anything, mum suggested a graphics drawing tablet like my sister's Medion-branded semi-generic one (which is really good for the price). Ideally, I'd want a Wacom Intuos Pro Large - but it's $600. The next best thing (and not much of a compromise) would be the Intuos Pro Medium at $400. After that, the next choice would be the Wacom Intuos Pen & Touch Medium - $250. The final choice would be one of the higher-rated 10-inch generic Monoprice tablets, if they post to Australia. None of those are more than $100. I'm a bit worried about going for the cheap Monoprice tablets - even though they're generally very highly recommended, they're mostly used by beginners who've never used tablets before; I've used my sister's tablet, which is surprisingly good for the $50 she paid, and I don't want a tablet that's worse than this one. So I'm not sure.... the deciding factor, of course, will be what mum is willing to pay for a birthday present ($250 is rather excessive and probably way more than we can afford)

So I was told! As if a three chain timing system isn't fancy enough, they put a high pressure fuel injection system on top of all that.

It is a lot of pressure. But when you think about the tiny hole the fuel has to squirt through while being injected, the engine's large capacity, and the short time the correct amount of fuel has to get into the engine, maybe a high pressure is a good thing. I am also guessing that high pressure allows the fuel injectors to more precisely control exactly when fuel starts and stops flowing.

Ah! According to Wikipedia, some diesel engines have fuel injectors that operate under 44,000 PSI.
