I think this idiom is specific to english-speaking north america, due to it being vast and car-centric, we have a similar idiom that means hardy, reliable and getting things done - workhorse, this one is used in multiple slavic languages and in english (I think).

Can't say about other countries, but here in general you just say "n liters" dropping "per 100 kilometers". Another metric that conveys the same thing.

It does have a meaning, but not knowing how long is the race track changes very little.

It wasn't, not really important to the plot? If it was half a mile or mile nothing would have changed. I have no idea how many bananas is it.

Who cares? Pronounce it whichever way you want as long as it's clear/understandable. It would take longer for me to understand what piece of software engine-x is, but it takes a second at most.

I really liked "with teeth" very short, but vampires there are very primal and predatory. I've tried to read "let the right one in", disturbing and tbh movie is better, but novel isn't bad, just not for everyone.

"out of the dark" has lol wtf vampires, but not bad in general.

It's you, not me, just accept that they aren't universally great. Again, your hubris is staggering, they aren't complex literature, they just old.

Sincerely I believe his novels to be torturous and think of him as graphomaniac, there is weird cult around classic authors, like they were some kind of unbelievable geniuses. They weren't. Some were good, most were bad, same as today. Their popularity is due to being either part of the nobility and/or being one of the few authors at the time.

It's bad, you need to twist the wire strands together, use flux, tine the wires themselves, use less solder. In general look up some video guide on soldering they explain it pretty good. Anyway it's not a brain surgery just practice.

Doesn't seem to work, maybe I'm doing something wrong.
