Not op but I didn't realize it was a wear part, and I would imagine that most people don't either given how long they last on modern vehicles.
Your explanation is helpful, but the tone of this comment is needlessly aggressive. The goal here should be to help each other learn, not shoot each other down.
- 01100011 5y agoCivil discourse is getting harder and harder to find online. HN generally isn't too bad, but the weekends seem to be the worst. I think the comments and moderation gets dominated by people with nothing better to do on a weekend. I think it would be nice if HN periodically made you read a short click-through agreement to remind people of the tone we expect here.
- hbwo41 5y agoI think it would be nice if HN had a guideline about going meta, because there is some irony in having my commentary called bad in a subthread that started with a pointless wrist slapping about tone and devolved into probably the most uninteresting conversation possible, the broader trends of feels in comments as experienced by a random user who ostensibly doesn’t know how many moderators there are on HN. I literally generate a new account with a random password and throw it away when I close the tab. Please, explain my place in this triumphant community of awesomeness to me more.
