  • I wouldn’t say the computer adjusts the valves, variable valve timing serves a completely different function than an old fashioned valve adjustment.

    It’s true that most lifters are hydraulic nowadays, and self-adjust by filling with oil. So your point still stands, it’s just mechanical, not computer controlled.

    My 2017 Honda V6 does require valve adjustments, but I doubt many people actually do it themselves though. And most people probably don’t have it done at all.

    (I’m a hobbyist, not a mechanic, so anyone feel free to correct me if I’m wrong)









  • Lol economics is a made up science? What does that even mean? You are literally talking about economics right now. As long as money exists in any form, economics is real.

    And we usually think about inflation in terms of purchasing power… How much can I buy with my paycheck? Not in terms of the value of some arbitrary element whose value is based entirely on speculation.

    Also, let me repeat this again: the money supply is not literally the number of dollar bills (or gold nuggets or whatever) in circulation. It is only one of many factors.

    For example: if a dollar bill changes hands 3 times in a year, it adds $1 to the salaries of 3 different people. That’s $3 added to the money supply. That isn’t propaganda, that is a factual mathematical truth.

    Just because you don’t understand economics doesn’t mean it’s not real.
