No, he can't be replacing a bulb.  If he is replacing a bulb, he's an idiot, because he isn't wearing rubber gloves.

I worked on cars for a long time. Never wore rubber gloves to change a bulb. Just don't touch the glass. easy peasy.

Ambrose wandered into Mexico and disappeared, about 120 years ago.

I'd bet wherever he went he was still visible.






And you call yourself a writer.

Anyone who has ever replaced headlight bulbs knows that you need to use a glove, or something completely clean (not wet wipes) to 1) get the bulb out of the package and 2) get it into the socket without touching it.  Or, it will just burn out in short order.

Also, anyone who has ever bought a headlight bulb from a Walmart or Autoparts store knows that they also sell latex gloves cheap . . . . if you don't already have them.

Now, I have changed a headlight bulb once without using rubber gloves.  I used the auto parts store bag as a makeshift glove.  Can be done, but not recommended.

If you thoroughly wash your hands and dry them, then do your best to not touch the glass while making the switch, no problem. Some facial tissues have oil so you can't use them. My point is you don't absolutely need gloves if you respect that the glass should not have residue present after the install.

Now Timmy, if changing a bulb, was told to use a tissue while doing so. He thinks it's to wipe his hands after handling the messy light bulb. No problem until after dark.

I actually replaced a bulb once and thought my hands were clean, and that the DON'T TOUCH THE GLASS was just hype.  It burned out within within a day.  Since then, I I'm a believer - DONT TOUCH THE GLASS.

The packaging has a sleeve over the glass part. At least last time I did it there was.
I haven't had a burned out headlight in many years. Now the LED's took over anyway.

The fancy plastic box (headlights or taillights) cost hundreds of dollars.
It amuses me for some schadenfraudey reason to see a pricey car with a broken light.
Mr Bigshot can't afford a thousand dollar taillight. I must be a sick prick.

You also scoffed at the vaxx, right?

But then heat is a far more nuanced concept than a hitherto unseen virus....

I have called myself dumb and unknowledgeable here and there.
Never referred to myself in that way (a thinker) as I recall.
You brag about your education, language skills, and vocabulary.

So, in this exchange you are wrong and I am right.

I'm going to show you a picture of Tim Walz "working" on his car.  For any of you real car guys, tell me what you see wrong with these photos. Before reading my comments below....


My comments:

• No one works on their car with a long sleeve button shirt and slacks.
• The car in the photo is some version of a Ford Escape.  There isn't anything to work on the driver-side of the Escape where Timmy has his hand. Here's a more detailed shot of what's under the hood
• https://external-content.duckduckgo.com ... 8cb48bfWTF 
• WTF is he working on WITHOUT TOOLS?
• WTF is he accessing without taking any of the engine covers off?
• Look at the crud accumulated in the corner of the cowl/hood vent. Also, the entire engine compartment is filthy.  What a pig!

You got four of mine - no tools, no gloves, wtf is he "working" on, and what a dirty under-hood. And I'm not a car guy.

You can see there's a new hose, which can only mean one of two explanations. The first is laughable on every level:

1. Tampon Timmy installed that hose, but left his engine compartment in that condition, in spite of the glaring contrast;
2. The service center installed it and was not paid to do more, nor inclined todo it for free.

Thankfully my new(ish) truck doesn't have those led lights. I try to avoid that crap.  Nothing wrong with a $10-$15 headlight bulb, and a $5 tail light. I just need to make sure they work well enough to impress the cops.

I try to avoid automatic transmissions too.  This time, I had to settle for an automatic.  Did you know that if you have a manual transmission with over 100,000 miles on it you can't get any of the lube places to change out the oil?  Something about stirring up the metal shavings.  Sounds like stupid **** to me.

No.  I got vaxxed 3 times. But, I got the Trump vax, not the Biden vax.  I heard the Biden vaxxes were made from the Monkey Pox.

Schrödinger was the imbecile. Wasn't he the idiot who couldn't figure out whether his cat was alive or dead?

As an amateur physician and cat-skinning hobbyist, I can tell a dead cat from a live one with absolute precision. 
The dead ones never yowl when you begin the skinning process.

This Schrödinger fella was putting himself forward as some kind of big time thinking man. He had a lot of book learnin, but no common sense. 

 How many times must I inform you the importance - especially during the Trump administration - of common sense?

I beat covid in three days, using common sense. 

Didn't need any experimental medicine - but hey, you do you, lab rat.

Machine shops must be toxic dumps then. Metal shavings are how they make a living.   

Automatics are way better than they used to be. At least the myth about fuel efficiency part.
Used to be they were slushy, at idle in traffic, gear selection, etc. all added up to inefficiencies that could be compared to the difference in a manual. Drivetrains as a system these days are better for general public with auto-trannies.
Of course they're more complex and expensive and backyarders can't fix **** anymore...
