Safety and legality of this kind of work comes down to the owner and the jurisdiction. This guy is providing support for getting the drivetrain running, not auditing the safety of the vehicle. Besides, people probably aren't buying bra

Because my sick elderly dad needs to be in constant contact with doctors and care providers on a nearly daily basis. We can't afford to miss a phone call that may cause a delay to getting help, medication, or a procedure. Most of these

They have dyno charts on their website! It made between 2.7 and 3hp on the two vehicles they tested, which is pretty much the amount of variation you'd expect between two dyno runs. Total rubbish.

I disagree. Smart phones are too locked down to be personal computers. Sure they do "computing things" but you're only allowed to do what they want you to do. They're so limited, I can hardly even repurpose and old phone

This guy is cherry picking his stats, example here is the GV70 from Wikipedia: *1,820–1,985 kg (4,012–4,376 lb) (2.5T) *1,975–2,010 kg (4,354–4,431 lb) (3.5T) *1,860–2,010 kg (4,101–4,431 lb) (2.2D) *2,230–2,310 kg (4,916–5,093 lb) (EV) He

That's not living paycheck to paycheck. The implication of living paycheck to paycheck is that you're a few missed paychecks away from homelessness.

My new Samsung monitor has a Lightning dock integrated into it. So on the back of the monitor, there is an Ethernet port. Presumably this is only connected to the dock, but we have really no way of knowing. I won't hook up the Ethernet

That's the problem. It's all the same result.

Yes, it's copper and other metals used in the brake pads, as well as tire dust. Rotors are mostly just cast iron, so I'm not sure how bad that is.

Every state has been getting lobbied to do this for at least the last 10 years. These bills come through the legislatures every year, and I think it will keep coming until finally one of them passes. There are manufacturers of the GPS track

Honestly, tire tech has come a long way even in the last 10 years. Some current 3 peak rated all seasons can outperform some of yesterdays best snow tires.

Also their slow speeds and larger tires probably lead to less wear than another vehicle of the same weight traveling at normal highway speeds.

My mom has a 2024 Outback. Once in a while, when I'm in traffic changing lanes, it locks onto the car in front of me. Even though I've changed out of the lane with the slower traffic, it still thinks I'm going to rear end the

Yo, an alignment is like $150. You shouldn't have any car on the road that is so bad you're jerking the wheel to keep it going straight. That's straight up dangerous. And if you're that bad at maintaining your car, your

Only you rich fuckers can get in with those shady doctors. There's abuse of every system. So should we just quit doing anything?

by olyjohn 2y ago
That's bullshit and just shows you have no clue what you're talking about. Regular people who don't live in some rich people's bubble can't even get a PCP without waiting weeks or months. And fuck off if you need to

Well fuck it. If someone breaks an arm, and needs some time off, maybe we can have an inquisition on them too. They do have two arms after all. They can probably still get their work done with just one. What about people taking sick leave?

Or just buy a router that has that. There are tons that do it. Even my shitty CenturyLink DSL router has it.

These companies want us to reduce phishing, etc attacks by being smart and looking at URLs before we click on them. Then they obfuscate them constantly like this so we can't see the actual URL. Then they wonder why phishing attacks con

It's especially true if you're taking care of a dying my family member. They will pass and then suddenly you have time to remember all the things you did wrong, or said out of exhaustion and frustration, and you won't be able

Drone jamming technology? What are they doing, jamming the entire 2.4 and 5GHz frequencies? Seems like it would jam everything else nearby too. Sounds like total BS to me... If I was doing something shady, I certainly wouldn't use the

Neither do most pedestrians. Let's be real, most Washingtonians don't know most of the traffic laws. This state really badly needs better education in that sense. Most people also don't know that you're not supposed to e

Yeah I don't think you're still present in the conversation while taking a photo and listening to or reading an explanation of what you're looking at. You might think it's less interruptive than pulling out a phone, but

Kind of. They're what I would call a ute. They're still car based vehicles with beds. But that doesn't mean they can't do 90% of what the average person uses a truck for. They just aren't as stout as a body on frame

What does that mean? That it's good, that it's bad? Should we just keep doing things because that's what we've always done?
