An amusing video from a Japanese anime.

Looks like a lot of kids' fantasy to bring modern warfare to the past, well done. Which anime is that? I end up watching a lot of shitty ones trying to find good ones.

The video description says it is called Gate. Related videos with the same name show the same storyline.

Man, it feels like I'm losing my mind. I left my phone in a closed off room in my house tonight on accident. A couple hours later I went to find it and I had a ton of missed texts and phone calls. My brother signed us up for bowling pins tonight and I completely spaced it out. I haven't left my house for so long that it never even occurred to me that I had anywhere to be. I made him look like a dummy when I didn't show up.

It feels like when you sleep through dinner, and when you first wake up you think, "Oh man, I must have slept all night, I bet it's really early the next morning." Then you find out it's only 7pm and the rest of the night is ruined.

Well done? looks like dubbed cartoons to me.

Anime, in my opinion, has a good track record for showing realistic weapons and use. Not all of them of course, but better than any non-anime cartoons. Also, there is a lot of shitty anime out there, so it stands out when people look and act normal.

"my car won't start"

It finally did but these were my second suspect after fuel. She missed a very important appointment today due to lack of maintenance.



71K and I don't think the dealer even changed these at the 30K service as required. Two plugs had a .065+ gapina. No wonder it ran like shit.

Didn't take pics, but stock photo of a new plug/electrode:



Got a bottle of Techron for it too. She never listens to me about filling her tank. Always running around with 1/4 or less. Hard on the pump, more condensation, etc.

Damn thing also needs plug seals and valve cover gasket. Oil on plug is from pulling it out of an oil soaked tube.

Driver side plugs were damn near rusted in. I don't think the factory puts anti-seize on these things (or if the dealer changed them at 30K they most certainly did not.)

Wow yeah that is a hell of a lot of gap! Those electrodes are worn down literally to the nubs!

HEI systems are up in that .60 gap when new...not the .35's and .45's we knew in older cars as much anymore. Ain't a bad idea to change plugs in your daily drivers every 50K or so, and wires sometime before 100K....IMO. Coolant changes are important as well unless you periodically check the chemical levels in your coolant system, especially if you're not using any additives to stabilize it. Shitty coolant eats aluminum like sugar eats teeth....it takes a while, but it's really bad after it's done it's damage.

Newer cars don't even have spark plug wires anymore. They're all coil on plug nowadays.
