6:40 I know how frustrating for newer transmissions with no gauge is not to be able to figure the fluid level. But i think i found the only way to measure the transmission fluid level in a "sealed" transmission (no gauge). It should take less than an hour.

Get one of these or similar (i have used it for years) and one of these. Build an adapter using a short piece of oil resistant rubber hose of suitable size and attach the thin one from the second to the intake port of the first. The pump also works for oil changes, without needing to remove the plug, eventually the panel that covers it and replace the crush washer and to torque (resulting in what i call the plug torque anxiety).

Heat up the engine and transmission to nominal temperature (for better flow of transmission fluid, mandatory for oil changes). Remove the cap from the top of the tranny and insert the thin hose. Be careful not to add contaminants (wipe the hose with a clean rag before insterting). Most likely will not go straight down but at an angle. After it heats up at tranny temperature will become less stiff and easier to insert.

Carefully insert the black thin tube and twist it to change direction if you hit an "obstacle" until you reach the bottom. There might be electrical connectors in the way so be careful not to push hard.

Pump whatever you can, ideally about half of the capacity (the rest remains inside the torque converter) in a clean container (water jug). Look at the capacity in the manual, you should be able to pull about half. Measure. Look at the color. Should be red, not brown.

If it is red, just measure it and pour it back in using a funnel. If it is brown, pour in new fluid of the type specified in the manual, the same amount should be about half capacity from owner's manual, drive a few hundred miles and repeat the procedure until it becomes red. You need to drive because the newly added fluid contains fresh detergent additives that will dissolve the sludge from the bottom or filter and turn it brown.

A worn out fluid of the color brown will impact negatively the functioning of transmission, build up sludge in the solenoids, etc..

If you pulled less, should figure the reason you have less it should be only leaks, but those are rare in newer vehicles. Could only be a bad maintenance job done earlier.

In the case of my car (2018 Elantra 2.0 SEL) there is a compartment that do not communicate with the rest of the bottom of the tranny. I would assume if you hit that one with the thin hose, will not be able to pull all the fluid out (i mean the half that is not inside the torque converter).

11:00 Recunosc că am fost destul de vag în legătură cu posibilitatea unui cutremur săptămâna viitoare în România. Având în vedere că miercuri luna ajunge la 93% iluminație, cu distanța în ușoară scădere de la apogeu iar presiunea are un vârf de 30.8 (miercuri, 1043 mb, foarte mare) m-aș mira dacă marți nu s-ar produce un cutremur de până la 4 grade iar miercuri unul de până la 5.

Însă nu știu, nu am mai făcut niciodată corelații cu presiunea atmosferică din România, din lipsă de date din trecut. În sudul Californiei este mult mai ușor de prezis un cutremur, pe bază de maree și presiune atmosferică, mareele însumând atracția soarelui și a lunii.

10:50 PM I think the names Rihanna, Ariana Grande are an insult to the whole civilized world.

11:00 Au fost condiții pentru un cutremur mic. Luna este aproape de distanța maximă, cu apogeu mâine, la iluminație de 30%, presiunea atmosferică a fost de 29,94 inhg (inch coloană mercur) cu precipitații.

Condiții asemănătoare (cu iluminație simetrică față de azi de 60-70%) vor fi în zilele de luni, marți, miercuri săptămâna viitoare, cu presiune mai mare, distanța la lună 3-4 zile după apogeu și fără fără precipitații.

Cutremurul s-a întâmplat la 12 ore după culminația lunii (ora 19), care la ora aceea era exact pe partea opusă a Pământului.

1:30 AM Nu spera și nu ai teamă. Tot show-ul e ca să pară mai credibil.

8:50 Fixat.

12:50 AM Pour... Les... Roumains... Știe cineva ce înseamnă vuoto în Italiană?

10:30 Meme du jour.

3:05 Încercarea de atunci din 1996... Toate încercările de a mă băga într-un accident (cu sutele în toți anii,  care să pară din vina mea). Operația la gingie care m-a făcut să mănânc 6 luni cu paiul... Ăștia vor să-mi spargă capul ca să se îndeplinească o profeție.

Totul trebuia să pară sub supravegherea dominicanilor, dar în spatele tuturor sunt ninja. Sunt aici în Portland cu sutele de mii, în România la fel, toți fac treaba lui Dumnezeu (doing God's work).

11:45 Here we are almost 25 years in the first century of the third millennium, in the internet and supercomputers and AI age and we can not figure things so simple as earthquakes, tides and even clouds and lightening.

Few people, even among mathematicians and physicist have an intuition on how big our planet is and of the planetary forces involved with keeping the Earth in Sun's orbit or Moon in Earth's are. How big would have to be a cable to keep the Moon in rotation around Earth if if wasn't for gravity.

Total mass of the oceans on Earth is about 0.02% of the mass of Earth, while for  the core, solid and liquid, which is denser than the rest, that value is 30%. Gravitational acceleration (g) exerted by the Moon on objects on surface of the Earth is about 4 orders of magnitude less than the well known g=9.81 m/s2. And by the Sun, about half.

What is going to be attracted more by the Moon and Sun?

I start to believe that oceans tides are not given by the direct pull of the Moon on water but by raising of the ocean floor with rotation of Earth in Moon and Sun's gravity field due to the pull of the two celestial bodies, and unevenly on the core. Tides are more like tsunamis though calm and predictable. The Earth is acutally pulsating, like a cosmic heart. Or lung.

The variable force excreted by tides on shores could actually be the reason of "faults" in the case of Pacific Ring of Fire. The energy of the tides lead to a constant move up and down of the "plates" against each other and friction that creates extra heat that in turn melt the mantle that is already hot and create the magma chambers and not convection. Convection currents within the liquid core are chaotic because of greater pull on the core and its constant motion under the gravity of Sun and Moon.

In the case of Atlantic, due to size and shape, the water is actually oscillating left-right, and tides are amplified by the oscillation and the "fault" is in the middle.

So how can we trust each other when we live in these cosmic lies?

Two days ago i saw an article that said  the Geological Survey of the State of Oklahoma has published charts with the raising of the Earth (ground tides) that can go up to 30 cm (one foot). However when i contacted the Survey they told me they can't find  those (but didn't say if they did that or not).

There are forces in this world that want to keep us in the dark because predicting earthquake has such a strategical value to them. So they prefer to lie to 7 billion people or how many we are right now.

And use AI, garbage and thousands of extras to constantly frame, sabotage and torture me who i am just a messenger. Do we have time for this?

1:12 Freed hostages is just a meme?

1:26 Last night before McMinville at 3:30 AM i heard this song on the radio. Then after, i was racing with a Milky Way train of cisterns and when i was left to pass it, in a narrowing (right lane ending) area, and with a car blocking my way to finish the pass, i almost got squeezed out of the road by it.

I do believe more than ever that this song is about death by gas chamber, him (megalomaniac half skinhead in sarcastic evil voice "Phil" being the executioner "first time last time") and in this version the cymbals, synths are imitating the sound of gas hissing. This song is a shame to music and art and should be banned.


2:20 We don't need no education...

 
Messi și Marina...

3:24 B...c i'm Madonna... And she didn't get arrested?

Rock and Roll Fantasy. In February 1996, after not sleeping for a week, part of it being again the neighbors upstairs, i got arrested, in Vancouver, WA, by a couple of Police women and i now suspect they were actually Joan Jett and Lita Ford, my HS class mates. More than that, i was kept in jail after signing a document for being released on bail. False arrest and imprisonment are not subject to statutes of limitations. But how the two got to be cops in Vancouver? Who was Janet Anderson?

To me, is important because on the form for naturalization i have to say if i have ever been arrested. If those two were not real cops, technically i was not.

And the judge. Spent that night in jail, unlwafully, again not sleeping, with my face and eyes burning from the pepper spray for which i was not treated, in the morning i got interviews by a funny bald man, then i was finally brough to court, in a jail suit that had a cut in the genital area, with no underwear. I was falling asleep and then the judge gave me to read a paper printed with capitals that started with "I APOLOGIZE TO ALL NATIONS..." just to see if i can read.

But who was the judge? By the name Stocker, 83 back then, i think he was no other than...

After i saw the judge (and Janet Anderson) they sent me home. However, i wanted to go first to the hospital. At the ER they took blood sample, blood pressure and they gave me a... vision test.

Then they took me to the Washington Memorial whatever, the local psychiatric hospital. No fluids nothing after a week of not sleeping, eating or drinking. Dan Costan bought me something to eat, with nothing to drink.

In the  hospital they gave me a pill and i slept 12 hours. When i woke up, dr.Proano was ready with the diagnosis. Schizophrenia.

I struggled with dehydration for the next 3 weeks i was in the hospital. Now i now what they wanted. A stroke.
