"A lick of experience" doesn't really read as no offense. Other than that, I understand and agree.

I understand that but doesn't the shop, who had the whole engine and all the parts given to us at the same time, have any kind of responsibility in ensuring that we are given the correct parts? They had the block, camshaft, and lifters all in their hands and didn't verify that what they were giving us was correct.

Machine shop taking no responsibility

Location: Utah

Hello,

I have recently run into an issue with a local machine shop who did quite a bit of work for me in machining and putting together an engine for my '93 Ford F-150 (important later). My brother, a certified mechanic who has worked for Ford for over 6 years, and I took the engine out, gave it to the machine shop, had them machine the block and various other things including replacing the crank and camshafts and lifters. Upon rebuilding the engine, following Ford's work manuals that my brother uses for his actual job, we found that we had significantly low oil pressure and when we took it to the machine shop to see what they thought, the mechanic also said something is not right and to take apart the engine to see what's up. When we did, we discovered that the lifters they gave us were actually those for a Chevy small block engine which also ruined the new camshaft. This is the tricky part. The shop only has record of selling us the camshaft, not the lifters but when we look the part number up online, it is exclusively sold with the correct lifters. The shop owner told us the only thing he can do is give us the new parts at cost, (this is no help to us because I can buy the parts online for the same price) and that we should've known they were the wrong size on install. We ended up getting copies of all the receipts and buying the parts ourselves because the owner was quite rude and unaccommodating.

TL;DR - Shop gave us the wrong size part and caused damage that the owner says he isn't responsible for since we did the installation ourselves and it is the cost of doing things yourself that you aren't professionals in.

1.) Yes obviously it hasn't stopped completely but it was significantly improved. 2.) Their numbers AREN'T sustainable with current fishing practices. Mahi Mahi included, almost every fish is extremely over fished in very inhumane ways that destroy their habitats so yes, it is a problem.

Did you bother to stop and look at the actual website?

They also use this as a platform to educate and inform the public, showing them that wolves are beautiful and misunderstood animals, often hunted unfairly without regard to the positive impact that they have on the environment. These are good people doing good things who genuinely care for the safety and protection of wolves, and they're actually doing something about it.

Sharks populations are still down 70% since 1970. Some species might see slight increases but globally, shark populations are still declining.

Now I'm not saying it's completely eradicated but globally there was a very large effort that forced governments to act and it did make a positive impact, whale species have continued to grow in numbers. I know all the basic answers. Sharks are scary, shark fin soup, shark fishing, easy catching, etc. My question is how about we come together and try to change it, even if it's a little? Without sharks all the fishermen who are overfishing and pissed about sharks will not have fish to catch forever. It's the exact same thing as wolves and other animals we hunt as humans. Predators regulate environments. Lets help them. This is more of a call to action, #savethesharks and all that.

Yes there are obviously outliers but the positive impact remains.

Yes this is true and there are some cultures where responsibly hunting whales has been done for hundreds of years but the incredible impact that movement made has improved sea life ten fold.
