That's not the problem and if you read it that way please accept my apology.
The problem is not liking something you know absolutely nothing about with nothing more than a dismissal.

How is not liking or dismissing something without knowing anything about it an actual problem?
Am I considered “closed minded” or dismissive if I know I don’t like crystal meth, crack cocaine, butt sex or electric vehicles without ever trying them or knowing much about them?

Yeah I didn’t think so.

People have the right to not like or not want to watch a halftime show that can only be understood by 18% of the population sung by some virtue-signaling Puerto Rican wannabe John Lennon.
They also have the right to not want to like or not watch that talentless hack Kid Rock over on TPUSA.
Not all of us are hive-minded bandwagoners.

Your original post followed mine, so I assume you were referring to me … if not, ignore.

I suggest not to cast stones from a glass house.

1) you know that „Wolf“ in Bullet Train was played by Bad Bunny, right ?

2) please search for an English translation of Bad Bunny’s lyrics yesterday and copy/paste them here; then, let’s see how long their family friendliness survives moderator scrutiny, shall we ?

Isn't that just 7/16th ?

Yes and no

It's on an airline going into a pressure transducer on a European air compressor. It probably won't be English.

But yeah. It's 7/16. Basically. Using the correct metric wrench makes it less likely to mess up that nut on the flare fitting, but I'm sure 7/16 would work okay

That said, I can't recall ever using it before
 
Ordered one of the best oils for my car.
Drove for a little over an hour today — everything felt absolutely wonderful.

As soon as I decided to pull into the yard (this is already after ordering the oil, filters, and all that stuff),
the alternator pulley started making that slight whirring noise again.

Well, guess I’ll have to deal with it once more.
Not sure whether to blame the mechanic or the car 🤔
Maybe it’s time to change the workshop…!

Sorry, that's exactly what I thought, and since I was wrong, I should be the one apologizing for my error.

(ETA: My reply, above, was made before the post I was responding to was edited and added to, which changed context based upon pre-conceived assumptions about the folks Boattale was addressing. So, now my issue is again with Boattale's presumption itself...which was my original beef with the statement to begin with. Based upon that, my apology is voided.)

Posting this for the record, since most folks will have missed my edit this morning, following reading the updated version of the post I had replied to in its original form.
