    What's the compression ratio of your engine?  That'll tell you what to pump.

    Related question---how do rental car companies make sure you are using the right gas?  Like SilverCar, all turbo Audi's but we're all just putting 87 octane in there.  How do they correct for that?  I've gotten some free upgrades in the past and ended up in some premium SUV or sedan and I know for a fact it requires 89 or 93.  But it's a fucking rental, so I just put in 87.  That can't be good to have those different octanes mixing around in there, is it?  

    probably doesn't do anything but lose some time at the drag strip and maybe make emissions worse.  at first as the ECU re-learns what timing it can use it'll get worse mileage.  but then the ECU figures things out.  mileage may still be worse but it might be within the error bars.  *shrug*

    I don't think Gen X has ever been called a spoiled or coddled generation. We were called the latch key generation for a reason.

     

    i remember when latch key kids were the ruining of america back in the '88 or '92 presidential election.

    What do you have against some of us enjoying alcohol at a college football game?  

     

    like lack of sales in-stadium has ever stopped anyone

     

    edit: apparently rice has been selling beer and wine since 2008 (who knew?)

    Rice introduced in-stadium sales of beer and wine in 2008 at Rice Stadium

    I need to make a batch this weekend.  Anyone ever use backstrap in chili?  Would that work?

    just limit your cooking time/temp with the backstrap, it's fairly lean without a lot of connective tissue to break down so it'll be done in a hurry.

    That said, double fuck you to people that cross three lanes while turning

    fuck those people too

    (also fuck the people who sneak up the straight only lane coming from the other side, forcing me to yield to them, only for them to make an illegal right turn into the lane i should be going into)

    What ratio would you like to see?

    me: take the smallest state, divide its population by 2, and that's the number.  so, wyoming, vermont, alaska, north dakota each get 2.  texas would have 89 as of the last census.  round up if you get over half way to the next one (webster method).
