AFFF is used in far more than just military bases. Outside of the USA, AFFF extinguishers, small vehicle/building hazard suppression systems, etc. are much more common. But yes Phos-check isn’t that

AFFF is being/has been phased out pretty much everywhere in the first world. There is still plenty of it around though - disposing of, and then filling with fluorine free foam can be an expensive process. Personally, it’s about $10&#x2

Many oil filters these days are accessible from the top of the engine, and IME it’s possible to get under many SUVs/CUVs/trucks far enough to remove the filter/bung without lifting anyway. A set of drive-on ramps makes it kin

I found it’s a form of jargon, and once you know more about the field, it becomes much clearer. Before I started working out at all, I found it really hard to follow any workout instructions (even videos). I couldn’t tell if what I was doin

Just to add, in the Find My app, you can whitelist (or blacklist depending on how you look at it I suppose) addresses that it won’t notify you about. So I don’t get a notification when I leave my iPad at home, but I do whenever I leave it a

This infuriates me. I know the video exists, that’s why it’s on my watch later. It’s like adding an item to your cart, and then having an ad for it at the top of every search result. Another thing I hate is if you watch a video from a playl

From browsing various subreddits occasionally, robocough seems to be the go-to manufacturer for DXM-only products. I think they mostly sell online. They definitely know that the people buying their products are using them to get high, some
