Man, this pilot bushing puller is way better than a slide hammer. http://sobr.org/iel

This throwout bearing is absolutely wrecked. When I removed the bell housing bearing balls went everywhere. The friction plate was also smooth as a baby’s butt. Flywheel wasn’t too bad but I ordered a new one anyway. http://sobr.org/idR

The Secrets of Covid ‘Brain Fog’ Are Starting to Lift [Jared Younger and others have been studying microglia as a CFS factor for many years. This is not new research and has yielded nothing so far. Sigh.] http://sobr.org/ibN

A Gas Exchange Disease? Huge CDC Exercise Study Puts New Slant on ME/CFS: “ Ultimately, though, Cook appeared to put his money on mitochondria problems - leaving him in a similar place to the other exercise physiologists who have studied ME/CFS.” http://sobr.org/ia0

This whole "Google's AI is so smart it even convinced our engineer it was human and he lost his marbles" thing just reeks of a covert advertising campaign. http://sobr.org/i7H

Twitter censors Eli Klein [This is what a real fact check looks like. This is not what social media, or the “fact checker” non-profits do.] http://sobr.org/i3Z

"[The FEC] fined Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign $8,000... for obscuring their funding of the "Steele dossier," a 2016 opposition research report that sought to highlight alleged links between Donald Trump and Russia." [Seems fair. 🙄] http://sobr.org/i1u

Dozens of COVID passport apps put user's privacy at risk. [Hard coded AWS credentials? Really?!] http://sobr.org/i0x

Some people are, in fact, insane. http://sobr.org/hYM

"The cons seem to outweigh the pros in the event of global cooling caused by even a small nuclear war." [Yes, they seem to. 😨 Umm... evil much?] http://sobr.org/hWU

NBC has to stop with the whole "Guess what, your family is on a zoom call with you right now on live TV! What do you want to say to them?" thing when someone wins a medal. It's cringy af.

One phrase you will never hear in downtown Ottowa again: "silence if violence." 😉

Amazon had a record quarter with $137 billion and they are raising Prime subscription price by $20.

Microsoft had a profit record at $18.8 billion in the quarter and has $125 billion on cash and yet they are raising their software licensing prices by 20% across the board.

Big tech disgusts me.
