Is the Flex the ecoboost limited? Those are pretty fun. I much prefer it to the Explorer Sport.

Thanks! Yep, flappy paddles work pretty good too. But it excels at cruising. It's solid and quiet, so you don't realize you're going as fast as you are. It feels like it limits boost in first, but once you're rolling, holy ****. There's reflash programmers out there but I got me my 100000 mile warranty keep!
We test drove an explorer sport also. That felt like a very large vehicle. MUCH more expensive for less features, and the 3rd row was a pain to get into and felt like less room in the back.

I'd show them the Flex and they'd almost always say "ew no, it's ugly."

Never in my life have i seen electricity be so fucked up. Early this morning a transformer popped and single phased the entire neighborhood. Shortly after the entire industrial complex went haywire. I guess we're the only ones on the block doing anything fancy with the electricity to notice the interruptions we were having. Other people were having some lights flickering, but otherwise were running fine. All our industrial 3 phase motors, chillers, metal halide lamps, computers, and everything being stepped down to 120v were running fine. Only LEDs, rectifiers, VFD drives, the robots, and a few other 3 phase things that are much more sensitive were affected.
I guess some massive capacitor was acting up causing voltage spikes way to quick to measure.
Had like 8 hours of downtime, lost about $24,000 in revenue and i spent about $5000 in replacement parts. Not to mention one of our 4mva transformers may be smoked because it was sounding like ****. Running the entire plant off one transformer currently.
We've been single phased before, but this one takes the cake. Had me running all day, it was a nightmare.

Yes. I have a 2015 2.5 with a manual transmission. The mid range is good but I wish it would rev higher. I also found the purchase process to be really easy. It seemed like the local dealership were having a hard time selling the bigger engine with the manual transmission and they gave me the price I wanted immediately.

Guys, I need a favor please.
Please check and see if you can get into https://eksisozluk.com/
https://eksisozluk.com/
you can type eksi sozluk in google and try that link, too.
It's a very popular discussion platform in Turkey and the whole site vanished following a major story breaking out about ISIS burning two Turkish soldiers alive.
The whole story was absolutely ignored by the media, and yet it appears in UK news sites.
Something is very fishy.
Please let me know.
Thanks.

It's down for me. Says its down for everyone:
Eksisozluk.com - Is Eksi Sozluk Down Right Now?
Is that better or worse than if it was just your local traffic being disrupted?

Gov't slows down/turns off internet traffic as they please to spread sharing info if something important happens.
Like the killing of dozens of cops with a car bomb - a major bomb goes off roughly every two weeks here, so they slow down the internet a lot.
BUT, shutting off a very prominent website altogether is new, and pretty gut wrenching.
****.

Geeze, someone must be missing a soldier or two!
I'm looking for those silvery brackets with the one round hole and the one slid hole. My plan is to do exactly as shown in the image below. I want to hook straps to it but the kit below costs 60 bucks just so i can use one strap. The size hole i need is 5/16 and strap is 10mm wide. Any ideas?
