  • I used a VM to install Windows 10 the other day and the installation process alone was enough to remind me why Windows 10 will be my last Windows, Navigating 20 questions then having to uninstall about 30 apps some of which will reinstall at next update, Infuriating tbh. I seem to have settled with Mint Cinnamon, It’s been working perfectly.



  • When I owned my workshop I once had to replace the engine in an old Ford Fiesta that had this happen.

    From what I could tell they went from 4th to 1st.

    The damage started when the middle two pistons broke and allowed the conrods to separate from them pulling out the wrist pins as they did. Then the free floating conrods hammered the pistons into the head destroying the valves, rockers and pushrods too. After that the rods had bent enough to allow them to fall out of the cylinder and punch a hole in the back of the block, then the sump then parts of the rods exited through the front of the block, One of them destroyed the radiator as it left.

    That is my rundown of the series of events from what I could work out at the time.
