Just a few decades ago, there was little to no distinction between automotive motor oil and motorcycle oil. These days, the two lubes are quite unique. What are the differences, and more importantly, what happens if you run car oil in your bike?
Motorcycle oils branched off from automotive oils in the 1980s as car oil evolved in a way that caused problems for motorcycles. Specifically, friction modifiers designed to improve fuel economy could cause a bike’s clutch to slip under acceleration.
For the most part, the “it’ll make your clutch slip” explanation is all you’ll hear when it comes to running car oil in a motorcycle. That’s not a guaranteed outcome, and frankly it’s just the tip of the iceberg. There are other differences that make auto oil unsuitable for motorcycles, and it has to do with the fact that bikes usually rev higher and run hotter than cars, and unlike autos where the oil only lubricates the engine, in many motorcycles the same oil serves the engine, clutch, and transmission.
An ancient mural of Jesus Christ healing the sick has been uncovered in the ruins of an Egyptian settlement from 1,600 years ago.
An Egyptian archaeological team discovered the remains of the city in the Ain Al-Kharab area of the Kharga Oasis, located in Egypt‘s New Valley Governorate, in late July.
The findings also included mud-brick residential buildings, two churches, a cemetery, and various artifacts like pottery, stone, and glass pieces.
One church was built in a basilica style with a large hall and columns, while a smaller church contained Coptic writings, the final stage of the ancient Egyptian language used in the early centuries of Christianity.
The mural of Jesus, along with the churches, showed that the Kharga Oasis was a significant center for early Christians transitioning from traditional Egyptian beliefs around the fourth to seventh centuries.
FIML is a conversational pragmatic and poetic phenomenology1 of extemporaneous2 interpersonal semiotics and psycholinguistics.
the study of structures of consciousness as experienced from the first-person point of view ↩︎
from the Latin ex tempore: ex (immediately after) + tempore (time, opportunity, occasion); at the time, in and of the time. In Buddhist terms this may be thought of as the thusness of speech and semiotics ↩︎
Properly done, FIML is a poetic, practical, playful, objective and subjective conversation about what just happened and is happening right now. It is a shared thusness of a particular time and place.
Like the eyes in our heads, which are the only parts of the brain visible to us, FIML ‘sees’ the profundity of the moment as it actually was and is. This ‘seeing’ can be trivial (‘oh, that’s a stick, not a snake’) or it can be profound, with deep resonance throughout memory and mind.
Life without FIML, to me, is boring and missing one of the best aspects of sentient being. ABN
PARIS, April 26 — Former screen goddess Brigitte Bardot, now France’s best-known animal rights activist, Friday denounced what she said was a Muslim ‘invasion’ of France that may force her to emigrate. ‘My country, France, my homeland, is again invaded, with the blessing of successive governments, by an overflow of foreigners, particularly Muslims, to whom we pay allegiance,’ Bardot said in a column published in the newspaper Le Figaro.
‘Year after year we see mosques spring up everywhere in France, while our church bells fall silent for lack of priests,’ she wrote. Bardot also condemned the Muslim practice of slaughtering sheep during the Aid-el-Kebir festival, which she said involves ‘tens of thousands of poor beasts having their throats slashed in front of each other with knives that are roughly sharpened by clumsy sacrificers who must try several times… ‘Will I be forced in the near future to flee my country, which has become a bloody, violent place, to emigrate, to try and find elsewhere.. the respect and esteem which is, alas, daily refused us?’ she asked.
An anti-racist organization described Bardot’s statement as ‘repugnant, nauseous and unacceptable’ and said it ‘reserves the right to take appropriate legal action. This racist provocation shows… a disturbing trend in our society,’ it said. Bardot, 61, quit the movies in 1973 and has since devoted herself to an animal rights foundation that bears her name.
If your head is often boiling with ideas, associations, memories, signs and signals from people and the world around you and you love it but maybe it’s driving you crazy… and you have a partner who is similar or at least understanding, then you will love FIML and become good at it if you try.
