There's an area in the cascade range (western US, specifically oregon) that is a giant field of knapped obsidian, that was used as a training ground for young knappers, as well as a trading ground to trade knapped obsidian that has been found all over the western US. Not just miles, but many many miles. I'll see if I can go find a link.

I dont think it's a banjo fitting. Fairly certain banjo fittings are not meant to move once tightened down. Another poster is right though, if you take it to a hose shop, they will probably be able to cut the old hose off and crimp a new one on. Just google "hose shop in [your town]" and there's likely to at least be one in the next town over. I live in a mid sized city and there are like 3.

A pretty typical 5th gear transmission ratio is somewhere in the 0.75:1 (engine rpm: transmission output shaft rpm) range, meaning the driveshaft would be rotating at somewhere around (definitely plus or minus) engine rpm. My subaru cruises at 50 at somewhere around the 2k rpm range, so the driveshaft would be spinning at a similar rpm. The diff pinion to ring gear ratio in the differential slows things down quite a bit so your wheels aren't spinning at engine rpm anymore.

Wow. What a throwback. He ranted about those movie titles on harmontown how many years ago? That had to have been close to a decade ago.

That's a pretty boilerplate criticism. While true to a great degree, it's also true of a lot of western capitalist nations.

It's pretty hard to find information about real communist societies because media companies have it in their best interest to bury any good that has possibly been done by a communist society, meanwhile demonizing them and making them the enemy. You really have to dig to find honest information about communist societies.

Moreover, a lot of otherwise successful communist regimes have been sabotaged and poisoned by capitalist interests. Either by literally arming fascists, or just by demonizing them with foreign policy and media coverage.

As close as I could get. I couldn't find in a brief search of the site if there was a staff lookup. But I'm pretty sure you can look up an licensed teacher if you know what state they're in, which Is how I found that she's licensed and active in that district.
