Whim of the moment: if I had a #billion dollars right now, I'd be inclined to open a free money kiosk at the mall.

People walk up, ask 'could I have some free money?’, my employee would say 'sure, here you go!', and hand them $5. Repeat, next person in line.

Say that took 5 seconds on average, plus a generous 45% for overhead/fees/paying my kiosk jockies $50/hr..

This kiosk would be fully funded and I'd still be ahead 150k/yr just by leaving my 1 bil. in a high interest savings account (3.5%)

Mild, sunny day. Suppose it can't last ... storm coming the weekend.

Does this need a head gasket?

I dunno, but hopefully about to find out. Misfire codes on cylinders 2 & 3, consumes oil and coolant.

Topped the coolant, about to change the oil, then will check compression and change the spark plugs. See what we can see..

Coming at this half-blind of course, so prob doing some wrench learning this afternoon

[#]Miata all cleaned and waxed, shiney shiney asides from some marks from where a bit of rain showed up mid-wax. The paint ain't that great anymore anyway.

End times are near, goes away in the coming week or two. Changed the oil in anticipation. One catch can had caught about a tablespoon of fairly clean oil, guess... works? :)

Found the power steering bolt out with stripped threads. Have a temporary bolt from a TV mount in place, but did order some grade 8 bolts to do proper repair.

Came across this picture browsing wallpapers in a Lemmy post:

A Greenpeace photo perhaps? This is roughly 100 years apart. Glaciers retreat, that is their nature, bringing #icebergs down in the spring of the year. The rate of retreat though has been, worryingly, increasing over time.
