All this “UAP” nonsense…

As far as the precipitous rise in
Incidences of colorectal cancer....might be attributed to aliens and their anal probes!

But for real now..the fact that cancer rates have been steadily increasing since the 50's particularly in Western societies is definitely in part attributed to the introduction of processed foods and increased use of sugar and salt which correlates to food becoming more of a business than for healthy sustenance.

In short....F cancer to eternal damnation

 
Was about to drop some "Ok, Boomer" stuff here (although, "technically," I am not a Boomer), but I'll abstain.

Instead, I'll yell at the clouds as to why they are not called UFOs anymore. "UAP" sounds like a computer function.


UAP stands for "unidentified anomalous phenomena," a catch-all term to describe objects detected in the air, sea and space that defy easy explanation.
 
Tighten it
:laugh:

That's a thing I'd considered. It didn't lose any air on the 43 mile drive to work, so it's a slow leak. Screw plugs it well. Might have drained overnight because the cold made things shrink up. In theory as long as the screw stays I'll just inflate it as needed for the next 25-35k miles. So...why not just crank it in tighter?

But, it is a teaching opportunity. So I guess I'll do it right.

Some chewed up Hubba Bubba gum may help prevent leakage...

Has anyone ever responded to those emails asking for a paid consulting call within an industry? I must've gotten on some list recently because I get queried about it often and never feel like looking into it.

If it’s not flush, tighten it. It’ll leak but it’s better than possibly breaking off while driving and having a gaping hole.
 
It's a little angled, I think. Won't go flush.


Eh, I plan on patching anyway
Close to flush is better than 1/2” hanging out. Unless it’s kinda tucking in the tire threads.
The threaded part of the screw is thicker than the shaft by the screw head so less air will escape.
I’ve patched many tires. I don’t even bother taking the wheel off at this point if I don’t have to.

I'd like to avoid taking the wheel off but I may include that in the teachings.
