Timelapse of curly icicles being extruded from pipes / Boing Boing | Galvanized Round/Square Mild Steel Pipe

What had happened was that my mufflers had lasted about half a minute before collapsing into solid plugs of crumpled aluminum and glass fiber. Not a wisp of gas could get through them. But the flexible steel link on the right side had cracked — or maybe it already had a crack — and just enough exhaust leaked from that crack to keep the three cylinders on the right side of the engine working. The jet of exhaust gas from the crack burned a hole in the cabin floor.

9 – The family of an Indigenous man shot to death on a Saskatchewan farm in August 2016 filed lawsuits against the RCMP and the farmer who was acquitted in the killing. Colten Boushie died after being shot in the head on a farm near the community of Biggar.

It is difficult to segregate actual policies coming out of the White House from the men setting them.  Part of this is the result of the total incoherence of anything inside Washington. So we look at the people in those policies; when all is said and done, when you look at "Senior Advisor" Stephen Miller, age 32, and you get past the bombast, the intellectual denial, the twitter feeds, the arrogance, and the hate, what you have as a residual is Evil.  

The sockets, and the attendant mechanisms, come in many sizes. A truly complete socket set, in fact, might well consist of several hundred pieces at a cost of many hundreds of dollars. However, a good basic household socket set with about half a dozen sockets (ranging from a quarter inch to perhaps five-eighths of an inch) and a ratchet and extension will prove useful for driving lag bolts, oc­casional repairs, and other tasks.

28 – A 16-year-old youth was charged in a southern Alberta highway shooting that left a German tourist with a serious brain injury. RCMP said the teen from the Stoney Nakoda First Nation was facing 14 charges, including attempted murder and possession of a prohibited firearm.

Box-end and open-end wrenches are both sold with different-sized wrenches at either end of individual tools. This economical approach means that a five-piece set will actually contain twice that many sizes of wrench.

Whatever the number of sides (called flats) on a nut or bolt head, there are several tools designed specifically to tighten or remove them. Each of the different types have significant attributes and dis­advantages, but there are some dissimilarities between box-end, open-end, and combination wrenches.

3 – A Myanmar court sparked international outrage when it sentenced two Reuters journalists to seven years in prison on charges of illegal possession of official documents. The journalists had been reporting on the brutal crackdown on Rohingya Muslims when they were charged with violating the colonial-era Official Secrets Act. They said they were framed by police and appealed their conviction.

The RfD asserts that, overall, the 5.23% tariff increase will have a moderate impact on the different socioeconomic indicators compared to the 19.9% tariff increase proposed by Eskom. “The 5.23% tariff increase is in line with government policy to reduce income inequality, poverty and unemployment.”

14 – A slow-moving Hurricane Florence made landfall in North Carolina with sustained winds of 145 kph winds, causing catastrophic flooding in some areas and leaving 800,000 people without power. Florence had been downgraded to a tropical storm by the time it moved into South Carolina later in the day but continued to dump torrential rain on both states. Authorities said at least 46 people were killed, most of them in North Carolina where some areas got up to a metre of rain. The economic research firm Moody’s Analytics estimated the hurricane caused around US$44 billion in damage and lost output.

Inside, occupants do sit fairly high up thanks to that tall battery pack, and there is a slight “tunnel” in the center, though it’s small and exists for the coolant lines that go from the cooling module up front to the battery in the middle and the motor in the rear. In addition, it’s meant to clear high voltage cables that go from the rear of the battery pack to components underhood like the high voltage compressor, high voltage heater, and DC-DC converter.
