Passing doesn't save much time when the city you're in has a ton of long red lights, There's a highway I travel daily, rather short 12 mile lap. People will absoluty blast past me going 20-30 above the speed limit, and then 10 minutes later they will be right infront of me at a red light. There's no point in making your ride so much more dangerous just to shave a few seconds off your time.

I also have people pass me, merge back in, and then brake hard to turn off pretty fucking often on this commute. It's insane what people will do.

This but for monitors, I bought the drawing tablet I have because I cannot stand color shifting and bad color rep. Same with my monitors, if the colors are so off that one is visibly more blue than the other I get so annoyed I dont use it.

Luckily enough laptops tend to have pretty color-accurate screens thanks to everyone trying to copy apple (i still miss removeable batteries)

+1 on that, had a chrysler from a dealership that only lasted a year before it totally shit the bed. I have a subaru forester now that I rebuilt the engine for, and it feels like it will last even after death.

Was changing a flat with the kit in my car, the scissor jack it came with was so improperly rated for the load that the bolt bent and the whole thing fell apart, sending the rotor straight into some dirt. Luckily enough nothing got damaged, but it still took 30 minutes to get that poor thing off the ground with a real jack and bricks. It was such a low rider that we had to start from the back and creep forward.

Never using a scissor jack ever again, and I've heard enough horror stories from mechanics about not using a jack stand that I will exclusively be using them if the things off the ground for any amount of time.

I have a pair of relatively cheap yamaha studio monitor headphones that are actually pretty great! ($80) Most headphones will also sound much better when driven properly with an external DAC, especially the higher end ones.

I plan on going to the $200 range next as I'm not too satisfied with the bass of these things, It's definitely there, but it doesn't go too loud before it gets distorted on the lower ranges,

You can still have high capacity batteries that are removable? The point is that in 5 years that battery will probably only hold 5% of the charge it does now, and it will cost a fuckton more and be way more difficult to replace than just swapping it.

Being removable and having a large capacity are not mutually exclusive

Not common in the US I believe, or at least I haven't heard or seen one of them.

You just gotta "guess" what's correct and then feel the water coming out

now I want one

Feel this, I was lucky(?) enough to have a mechanic living at my house who basically told me to fix it myself, he guided me through of course but he emphasized how important it is doing these things on your own.

That guy cannot figure out how youtube works and he's only 45.

I'd say it all depends on how much you had to use something, while the hurdles in software may seem small to someone experienced. those who are first trekking through see it as a huge wall

this. My 99 forester SUV is half the size of a modern one, but is still a 5 seater with plently of space in the hatch

NikkiNikkiNikki, 9 months ago (edited 9 months ago)

By 'modern one' I wasn't necessarily specifying the same model but I definitely should have been more clear. It's small compared to many of the new models I see on the road.

Also just comparing the totals like that isn't exactly a clean comparison. The whole car sits lower to the ground, it's actually low enough it doesn't have a "Risk of rollover" warning on the windshield. Also the design of the hood and windshield itself push further back than newer cars with sleeker designs, it's more space efficient in general, just ugly.

EDIT : Forgot to mention that the 99' forester I have has 15" rims, I'm unsure if that was done after the fact, or if some split year models had different rim sizes. This car is odd since the body is of a 98' forester (stated by the door plate) while the engine is from a late model 99' (stated by the plate on the engine compartment, riveted in the body)

I'm stuck in small town nebraska unfortunately, there's no bus service, the trains shut down decades ago, and the nearest airport is an hour drive away.

And most of the roads here are in disrepair, so much so that the sidewalks became lawns, you can still see the bricks of when they originally paved it 100 years ago. And forget about bike lanes, a couple of our towns are only accesible off the highway.

I would kill for a bus to take me from the town over and back, it would save an hour of driving each day and lots and lots of gas money

Well that's because he went from having an ounce of credibility to none at all.

NikkiNikkiNikki, 9 months ago

absolutely, there are so many folks I have to warn about 'problem models'. Stuff you could learn yourself just by googling the model of the car + 'problems'

I always wondered how people manage to make such messes, is it like infectious toilet hysteria?

NikkiNikkiNikki, 9 months ago

The fact it was a regular occurance must've been enough to make some people quit, right? There is no way I could handle something like that before I'm like "fuck it, the bathroom is employee only now"
