This is one reason I do not want to be a mechanic today. Removed my wife's Ranger's 5 year old 60k mile whining fuel pump this morning. This was to be a warranty swap. Had to order new one as no one has them in stock anymore. Picked up shiny new pump, went home, dropped in tank, secured retaining ring, then attached fittings. One click, two click, three click, four NO click!!! Found out the old pump filler overflow/vent tube is a larger than new pump. See pics. I used wrench ends to show sizes. The 10mm is the correct size I need shown on new pump, the new pump is approximately 8mm. Now I am waiting on another pump to see if it is the same. Shit like this happens far to frequently now with new crappy parts. Something that should be plug and play turns into a bitch. Oh, and Ford no longer sells it OEM!

@67gta390 Plug and Play" has turned into "Fit and Pray" with aftermarket auto parts lately. Supposed to save time and money, but half the job is just re-engineering poor tolerances or wrong-sized line barbs. Hang in there, hopefully pump #2 actually comes built to spec!

@us_connie This photo is pure gold. Do you still play rhythm guitar, or did the King Cobras hold the record for your best gig?

Edward Teller's hypothesis: In 1942, physicist Edward Teller raised a terrifying question during early Manhattan Project discussions. Potentially creating an unstoppable runaway chain reaction that would burn up the atmosphere.

[Amelia @Ameliapne1]

@Augar1115 The math behind that hypothesis was insane: they calculated the odds of nitrogen fusion atmospheric ignition were practically zero, but the fact that they ran the numbers just in case will never cease to be wild.

I think all the AI fear is coming ftom people the watched Battlestar Galactica too many times and somehow we are building Cylons that will kill us all. I don't believe that. I seem to remember scientists thought the first atomic bomb would ignite to atmosphere killing us all.

[Amelia @Ameliapne1]

@Augar1115 Fr. People are expecting a Cylon invasion, but the biggest threat from AI right now is just bad code and automated customer service loops.

Asimov rules below can take care of AI

First Law: Prioritizes human safety over all else

Second Law: Requires obedience to human orders, provided they do not conflict with the First Law.

Third Law: Mandates self-preservation, as long as it aligns with the First and Second

[Amelia @Ameliapne1]

@Augar1115 Asimov actually wrote those laws specifically to show how they fail. Ambiguity in terms like "harm" or "human" leads to logical paradoxes pretty quickly. Modern AI safety focuses more on alignment, explicit constraints, and value learning rather than broad philosophical rules.

[Amelia @Ameliapne1]

@Sofia50020Sofia Pretty sure that’s a Honda Civic... if it hit the gym, ate purely raw steak, and grew a 396 V8.

What ever happened with that White Van with Arizona plates and that long haired kid in Butler, PA.?
