You probably know how diesel engines work, but it's one thing to understand the theory and a whole different thing to actually see how diesel fuel ignites.
The Boys creator Eric Kripke stands by the show's series finale, despite a "fraction" of the fandom taking issue with how the story ended for some characters.

Over fifty years of data show a peak in PFAS (also known as “forever chemicals”) content in seabird eggs in the 90s, followed by a decrease as regulations went into effect. The most recent findings show a 70% decrease of most common PFAS.
While continued vigilance a regulation is needed, this data indicates that regulations are working to reduce PFAS concentrations in marine ecosystems.
well, I had spare time. here’s a selection of random SBG headcanons that I don’t think I’ve posted about a lot/at all before
kit and lemony have a closer relationship with each other than either of them do with jacques. this is true even though jacques and kit are twins, and even though lemony spends much of his life unable to contact k. j and k feel like they always hit a wall with each other that prevents them for being super close. they feel like they are very different.
olaf had a younger sister who died in a tragic accident when she was almost two and he was four. most of his earliest memories are associated with the aftermath of her death. he doesn’t remember her but he remembers the aftermath of her.
Belatedly, it occurs to me that I should be making an effort to post some stuff for Pride this June. Well, I only missed a week. Been back to work again and that leaves me with less free time. I am working on a fic though, and thinking about trying the Pride bingo at allbingo
Anyway, I had cause to mention LP twice recently in comments on posts, so I decided to share this video as my first post. Love LP's voice and style.
In 2003, Subaru's Indiana plant became the first U.S. auto factory certified as a wildlife habitat, proving that car manufacturing and nature can coexist.
This is your check-in post for today. The poll will be open from midnight Universal or Zulu Time (8pm Eastern Time) on Saturday to midnight on Sunday (8pm Eastern Time).
I hate how DNFing a book means I stop reading/wanting to read for some time afterwards. Like. What's up with that?! Just because one book is bad doesn't mean all books (or even comics) are bad. That's not how that works! That's not how any of this works!
Farah Fawcett, who would later land her breakout role in "Charlie's Angels," started her career with a guest role on a spin-off of "The Andy Griffith Show."
Gilligan's Island has a catchy theme song. Still, most people don't know it's not the original - the writer of the show's first opening song will surprise you.
Hugo homework continues. I'm posting about it real time on the sync read post, but also posting here as I finish things I consider stand-alone books (novellas and longer) and complete categories:
10. Rachel Hartman, Among Ghosts – I think this may be Hartman’s best book yet of the three I’ve read (I haven’t read the Tess sequel yet), or at least the most coherent – I really loved some things about Seraphina, Shadow Scale, and Tess of the Road and was less on board with others, but this one I pretty much liked as one whole thing. It kept me engrossed, and I don’t think I was overly hormonal while reading it, so I think the fact that I teared up multiple times while reading or was close is just due to the book resonating with me – the relationships, the things these characters say to each other, the layered sense of history that permeates it. It’s really well done. ( Spoilers from here )
Anyway, really good the Hugos made me read this book, will happily be voting for it to win Lodestar. And now I think I've read what I'm likely to read of the Lodestars, and on to the novels: I'm halfway through The Incandescent, which I'm enjoying so far.

Taskmaster s21e09 – Wow, I can’t believe there’s only one episode left after this. This season went by so fast! ( SPOILERS )
The proposed CA program could change the sorts of tires available for sale to car enthusiasts and increase the cost of tire replacement for everyone else.
A lot of muscle cars are seen as legendary dream cars that anyone would love to own. But a few aren't quite as great for day-to-day life as you'd think.
Fandom: Starsky & Hutch Song: Lost River by Murder By Death Warnings: Major Character Death, grief, ghosts. Summary: Starsky has died, but he's still there, haunting Hutch. Notes: The notes on this one are long, so I'm going to put them after the vid under a cut.
