  1. The timing chain was not broken, just so very loose that it jumped a tooth on the sprocket. Pesci reset it on the sprocket so the timing would be correct.
  2. I'm inclined to agree with Mr P. How many watts does a charging car draw? The county I live has about 1/2 million vehicles. What if they were all electric and all got plugged in at people's homes at 8 pm. I think it would overload the grid, blow transformers. Our best asset is a nuclear power plant at 2.2 megawatts. Two units at 1,100 kw each. How many cars could charge simultaneously with that?
  3. CNN : "- President Donald Trump announced Monday that the US will "restore" steel and aluminum tariffs on Brazil and Argentina, citing a "massive devaluation of their currencies." ..." I follow this because I am invested in an iron ore producer.
  4. yes Cadillac China sales totaled 66,523 new vehicles in the second quarter of 2019, an increase of 36.3 percent compared to Q2 2018. http://gmauthority.com/blog/2019/09/cadillac-china-sales-numbers-figures-results-second-quarter-q2-2019/
  5. I think American companies consider the China market very important, be it General Motors, Apple, etc. China was growing their economy at something like 2.5 times the rate os the US. And with their population there is much more growth potential there than in the US.
  6. eBay says you can get a second bill for import charges: 3 min article International purchases and shipping for buyers When shopping on eBay, you'll find items from all over the world. If you buy from an overseas seller, they can ship to you through regular international shipping services, or if they're in the US or UK, they may choose to use eBay's Global Shipping Program (GSP). Are you a seller looking to sell internationally? Read our article on selling internationally International shipping When purchasing from an overseas seller, keep in mind that international shipping can cost more, and possibly take longer to get to you, than when you buy from a domestic seller. In some cases, you may also have to pay import charges. If your seller is using eBay's Global Shipping Program, all the logistical challenges of international shipping, such as customs clearance, will be taken care of for you. You'll pay any import charges up front, so you won't pay anything extra when your item's delivered. You'll also benefit from international tracking. If your seller doesn't participate in the Global Shipping Program, you can still buy from them. However, how you pay fees and import charges will differ. Customs and import charges When you buy from an international seller, you'll often have to pay import charges. These charges are generally based on the item's price, weight, dimensions, and country of origin, as well as any local taxes, duties, and fees. Buying internationally with the Global Shipping Program When you see the Global Shipping Program logo, the listing will give an estimate of both shipping and import charges. This includes everything from processing and handling fees, to international shipping. You'll see the final charges when you confirm your delivery details at checkout, before you pay. When you use the Global Shipping Program, the seller sends the item to the global shipping center. From there, it's shipped to you. Final Charges at Checkout You need to use PayPal for GSP items, and your payment will be split into two transactions: The first payment goes to the seller. It covers the item price and any domestic shipping costs for the seller to send the item to the global shipping provider The second payment goes to the global shipping provider. It covers the international shipping cost and any import charges After you've completed payment, you'll be able to see both the total cost and the amounts paid to the seller and the global shipping provider on the Order details page.
  7. It sounds like we may be talking about US based sellers using the "Global Shipping" and the item gets sent to you from China and you get billed the tariff as if it were a tax. And you also pay sales tax. Here are some posts on the topic: I would never buy from US sellers offering Global Shipping---someone is sure making big money!! Since eBay's introduction of the Global Shipping Program, US-based sellers participated the program. On buyer's end, the check-out now comes with shipping rates and Import Charge. My question is where does the money go if the recipient country does not charge import tax for the item purchased? Many countries do NOT charge Import Charge for used items or items priced under certain amount. For example, South Korean Customs does NOT charge import tax on used items or item price declared as under US$140 (including the shipping). Yet, the automated eBay check-out forces the buyer to pay when check-out. And the item is not charged upon delivery. Exactly where does the money go? If eBay cannot guarantee accurate and fair system, then it should offer Import Charge as an option. This systematic flaw discourages international buyers. Please advise. Thank you.
  8. The 4 drawer tool cart I bought at Harbor Freight 6 or so months ago for $107, is now on sale at the lowest possible price for $149. You can';t get it for less than $149 now. OK I don't need another so I don't care.
  9. That's a weird response you wrote. Yes I expect the tariff to be incorporated into the price. And if I don't like the total price I don't buy it. You trying to imply I'm stupid? Really? LOL
  10. huh? US sellers adding a tariff because the parts they sell come form overseas and they pay a tariff? But they don't add the tariff to the price. They pass it on to you as if you were the importer?

  12. In California you can pay extra for "green" energy, electricity. That means you will be able to claim your electricity comes from hydro dams, geothermal plants, wind farms and other zero-carbon sources. Then others like myself who pay a lower rate have our power coming from the nuclear power plant, and natural gas fired generating plants, and etc less than green sources. Now does that really make sense? All power supply sources feed the same grid and effectively mix together to become indistinguishable. If you live next door to me and pay extra should you really claim moral superiority because you have a better power source than I?

  14. That's Monk, the detective with OCD isn't it? After the unsolved murder of his wife, Adrian Monk develops obsessive-compulsive disorder, which includes his terror of germs and contamination. His condition costs him his job as a prominent homicide detective in the San Francisco Police Department, but he continues to solve crimes with the help of his assistant and his former boss.

  19. alcohol reducers the blood pressure, dilates the vessels.
  20. The triangular shape has a connection to video game coding.
  21. Some people credit some stock movement due to anticipation of the truck and the pre-orders. And some not so much. So it's a matter of opinion I suppose.
  22. Here is a nice '26 being auctioned. Maybe interested to see what it sells for? http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1926-chevrolet-truck/ CURRENT BID: $5,250 ENDS IN: 1 DAY
  23. Tesla stock was $240 in September and now it is $340. The truck provided much of that boost.
  24. Maybe it was Le Corbeau. In a small French town identified as "anywhere", anonymous poison pen letters are sent by somebody signing as "Le Corbeau" (the Raven). The letters start by accusing doctor Rémy Germain of having an affair with Laura Vorzet, the pretty young wife of the elderly psychiatrist Dr. Vorzet. Germain is also accused of practising illegal abortions. Letters are then sent to virtually all the population of the town, but keep getting back to the initial victim, Dr. Germain. The situation becomes increasingly serious when a patient of the hospital commits suicide with his straight razor after the Raven writes to him that his cancer is terminal. Laura Vorzet's sister Marie Corbin, a nurse in the infirmary, becomes a suspect and is arrested, but soon new letters arrive. When one letter is dropped in a church from a gallery, it becomes apparent the Raven must be one of the people seated there at the time. They are gathered to re-write the Raven's letters as dictated by Dr. Vorzet, to compare the handwriting. Germain's lover Denise is suspected when she faints during the dictation, only for Laura to be identified by material found on her blotter. Germain agrees to sign an order committing Laura as insane; he is called away to attend Denise, who has fallen downstairs, but before he leaves Laura protests she wrote the Raven's first letters before Dr. Vorzet began dictating them, making him the true Raven. Just as the ambulance takes Laura away, Germain returns to find Dr. Vorzet dead at his desk, his throat cut by the cancer patient's mother as he was writing the Raven's final, triumphant letter.
