VW is not really in the business of selling $6,000 used cars. “EVs are better (for people buying new cars)” says exec of company that sells new cars

Absolutely, here’s a recipe for bistek

Gone Pro sounds like maybe they leveled up from amateur. A lack of them in the future would be NoPro

Some northeastern rep/candidate on the democratic side has a totenkopf skull tattoo on his chest. That’s your keyword because I can’t remember the rest

Does it have a practical use? If yes, I agree with your reservations. If no, then someone is going to buy it to either look at or sell to someone else to look at. May as well buy it direct and preserve it respectfully. But I understand and I do appreciate the group-benefit mentality

3D printing. Part of the issue is my main filament-based project needs to be ABS so I don’t have much interest in a starter printer. I also have enough finicky devices that I really don’t want to figure out another. So I landed on the prusa mk3 when that was still the current model and havent committed the money to it. It’s not like I’m starved for solutions given that I can make widgets from wood or aluminum. I even ramped up my steel fab capability with a nice welder that cost half a prusa. So buying a printer has been on a perpetual backburner.

Plus I know solidworks well and the work flows in every other cad infuriates me.

I often make the same argument against myself for limited resources but ultimately, if the resource is affordable, then it probably isn’t rare on the scale that hobbyists would affect it. But then there’s helium, which is somehow not anywhere near abundant enough for the low price they charge to fill a balloon. While hobbyists still wouldn’t affect the supply that much, I don’t like supporting balloons anymore. Weird hill to die on for 95% of people or greater.

I have a dashcam. I recommend it as well. It’s made me a more careful driver that road rages less because I know it’s all on camera. Sometimes I wonder if I need a decoy camera though in the event of burglary and, perhaps, if I’m removed from my vehicle by police. I hate this paranoia

The majority of bike lights throw a circle/oval/flood pattern which means they have to be aimed high to be usable. It’s just a flashlight at that point. It’s easy to make a decent beam pattern but neither the manufacturers nor the buyers give a shit.

The images included are the same provided in my paper factory manuals

Clutch knee to steering wheel. You just can’t steer and shift at the same time. At least not until you figure out clurchless shifting

Makes you wonder how many other tickets in this “safety campaign” were fraudulent. My area has done these targeted enforcement days. They spend 8 hours writing tickets, then pat themselves on the back and plan to do the same thing next year. Meanwhile, the average driver is still doing 60km/h on a residential street. But at least they caught those pesky people using the shoulder at an intersection that wasn’t designed for modern demand.

Ngl, I’ve let go of the wheel because my window arm was comfortable. Maybe bring up a knee just in case. “get your teen a manual because they can’t do anything else with their hands!”

Bet.

“suicide knob” is a classic device I’ve seen before. They were popular in the 60s or so. Named as such because they had a knack for snapping off. It’s still in use for people with various disabilities. However, it’s not especially hard to steer with one hand. I probably went 4 years after the driving test using only one hand with a palm spin. But then I got a car with a slightly slicker, heavier steering wheel and it didn’t work so well.

Nobody gives there. It’s too crowded

Eat cheese and sin

I give this movie two thumbs

3: one of my favorite games is live service and only live service. They can’t keep it going forever. It’s not actually played on their servers though, as it’s P2P inatancing in an open world (open galaxy), but there’s some political/faction background systems you can influence, so it all syncs up. I just hope when they’re done, they update it to play solo local they way the first 2 titles were. Will I even care then? I don’t know. I’ve been playing 6 years and it’s been out for 12, but did just get some great updates after a lull. (Elite:Dangerous)

“Grandma died during surgery”. I didn’t call her the night before because I thought it’d be awkward and I didn’t acknowledge the risk of heart surgery.

My car’s suspension is currently a pile of old parts below it and new ones in boxes. Trying to be slow and methodical, but it’s daunting. I wanted to do one piece (pair) at a time to assess improvement, but I don’t have the time anymore. So instead, it’s all one long project of aprts amassed across 4 years. Probably going to total over 2 weeks of sitting. Really minor in the grand scheme of things, especially when lensed as a true project car, but this was my weekend car and even my daily for a year, so it’s hard to see that perspective.

But the golden lining is that it means I feel comfortable enough with my other transportation that I can lay this one up for a while.
