Should I get a transmission flush?
2004 Chevy Express boxtruck with 6-liter engine. Transmission is 4LE. It gave me the code P1810, so I brought it to a transmission shop, and they checked it out. It seems that the transmission fluid had suddenly changed from normal red to looking like dirty engine oil. He said that there was a burning smell, and that he was unwilling to simply flush it -- says that can make the transmission stop working. It runs alright, but shifts differently from when it just got back from the engine shop which replaced my rear main seal. I'd really like to get that dirty transmission oil out of there. What do you think?

If I wanted "red wagon", could I buy the url as "red+wagon.com" and it would appear on the web as "red wagon"?
Then if someone put "red wagon.com" in a browser, would it bring up the site?

1 AnswerSoftware1 year agoCan my website be put into a file that someone can use to re-establish it after i die?
My website has been on the web for about ten years now. After I learned to do everything right, it's been completely trouble-free.
I don't write any code. I have always used EasyWebEditor, which changes PDF into code for me, and lays the site out the way I select.
I want to perpetuate the site after I am no longer here, and I cannot find a webhost willing to talk about longer than five years or so.
It occurs to me that there must be a way to put the site into a conventional form of the type that people who code use, and that if I had that, I could put it on the site and offer it as a download to anyone interested in perpetuating it should it disappear.
It's basically one page, with about 50 blue-line clicks that lead to sub-pages. Sometimes there is a trail of blue-line clicks leading to other sub-pages. There are jpegs.
Can this be done? Who can do it? What would be a fair price?
Programming & Design1 year agoCan you think of a new name for the fallacy of the undistributed middle?
The fallacy itself is very easy to understand, but the term "undistributed middle" is very confusing and eludes understanding. I think this is part of the reason that the fallacy is encountered so frequently.
Example;
All cats have tails.
Dumbo the elephant has a tail.
Therefore, Dumbo the elephant is a cat.
This is MaP, SaP, SaM.
The "a" proposition it mimics is MaP, SaM, SaP, which goes like this:
All cats have tails.
Felix is a cat.
Therefore Felix has a tail.
The middle term in MaP, SaM, SaP is cat.
A logical fallacy site we googled says that the middle term is the one that does not appear in the conclusion, so in our undistributed middle example, the middle term would be "has a tail".
According to Wikipedia, the middle term is the one that appears in both premises. Perhaps the meaning of "middle" shifts, and in the case of the undistributed middle we are not necessarily speaking of the classic "M" of MaP, SaM, SaP, but of the common term, which is the "P" term, "have tails".
I cannot understand in what sense, in the case of "all cats have tails, Dumbo the elephant has a tail, Dumbo the elephant is a cat", the term "has a tail" is "undistributed". What do you mean, "undistributed"? Can anyone explain in what sense the term is undistributed?
The word root of "distribute" is the Latin "tribus", originally meaning a third of the Roman people. The Latin "distribuere" meant to distribute or divide. See first response for continuation.
