plain vs. tpms vs. metal valve stem caps
I just talked about getting new tires, and it's worth talking about these little things, valve stem caps (a.k.a. valve stem covers).
There are several different types of caps out there, and they all fall into one of three categories: Plain, TPMS or metal. Which is the best?
Every time I have to get new tires, I hate it because there are a thousand different ways to get screwed buying these things. I've been buying tires for close to 30 years, both for cars and trucks I've owned. In that time, I've come up with a few ways to get screwed less.
I do love one-liners that I can do on the command line in Linux, and this one has to do with TAR archives.
TAR, on its own, doesn't encrypt anything. This being true, a separate utility has to be used to encrypt it. The easiest one is GPG.
