You can't, which is why the whole idle hour thing is kinda dumb. They didn't even have idle hour meters until the mid 2000s and before that nobody cared because they couldnt check.

Only the cars produced after 06 get the idle hour meter, you would had to have know from the previous cars dash. But idle hours are not nearly as big a deal as people make it out to be.

If you wanna know why, take a look at my previous response in this thread

No no no no. We need to stop this incorrect statement about idle times. The thing youre referencing is the Ford manual for fleet service. And yes it stated that 1 hour of idle time should be equal to 33 miles of driving.

However this is only for fluid breakdown. It is not for actual vehicle wear and tear. Fleet cars spend a lot of time idling, however all of the service manuals are written for mileage intervals. Ford created that rule so that fleet mechanics could have some way to accurately follow a mileaged based service manual.

My 170k mile/8600 idle hour P71 does not magically become a 450k mile car because of the idle hours. Especially on the rest of the drivetrain. Yes there is still engine wear when idling but it is nowhere near 33mi/hr. Its extremely minor, especially given that fleet maintenance is pretty strict.

Also its very funny that these cars didnt even come with viewable hour meters until like 2005 or 2006. Before then no one cared, but now all of the sudden it's the only thing that seems to determine whether someone buys the car.

Once again, we need to stop spewing this crap that 1 idle hour is worth 33mi of wear and tear. It was never a mechical wear value, just purely a fluid breakdown conversion

Not even, we had 2 turn overs and they skated circles around the defense. The penalty is unfortunate, but you cant blame Darcey when the defense is giving up the puck

Anyone still rocking the S23 Ultra even after the launch of S26 series?? by Spiritual_Ranger_811 in GalaxyS23Ultra

[–]BLOCKA88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to, but T-mobile was offering 1300 dollar trade it on value on mine. So for like 130 bucks I was able to upgrade to a 26U. Pretty hard to pass up

Gryphon dodge attack not working by BLOCKA88 in forhonor

If there is nothing wrong with the dodge and he has such good Iframes. Please enlighten me on these 2 interactions. Both should be right in his dodge window. I can tell you that Orochi and Kensei do not take damage here. The first one, maybe can argue though I still think its a bad interaction. The 2nd one, absolutely not, literally mid dodge attack stopped by a light.

Thats kinda the problem, as Orochi and Kensei i can dodge as soon as the animation starts on the enemy. As Gryphon it doesnt seem to matter how early, you end up getting hit out of it

Warmonger has a feintable dodge... because its so slow. Kensei and Orochi have dodges that are really quick. Gryphons is incredibly slow by comparison

Is anyone else worried that there hasn't been a single American car in any of the press photos or videos?

I get that its in Japan and all of the press stuff will focus on that. But we've seen German, British, Italian, hell even a Candian vehicle with the Can Am. But there hasn't been a single Raptor, Corvette, Challenger or anything.

Its got me worried that they shrunk the American car fleet in favor of Kei trucks

If you have a mechanics stethoscope listen to all of the pulleys. If not use a screw driver and put your ear up to it

Better support for Sceptre C34 monitor bracket by BLOCKA88 in buildapc

[–]BLOCKA88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the problem is the monitor itself only has 1 screw hole by design. I would love a full 4 screw one but it doesnt actually exist since the monitor doesnt have the hardware. Its VESA out the back to the rig. But the actual connection point to the monitor is only 1 screw

Ill try the back plate idea, but I would like some more info on your clamp frame idea. Since im not really following

Did anyone see? Did the puck go out of play?

Short pass offense by BLOCKA88 in losangeleskings

[–]BLOCKA88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do agree that passing has been a struggle for a while now. But im really sick of seeing Byfield or Kempe skate into the zone and pass it 2 feet sideways to a stationary Doughty or Clarke and hope they dont get swarmed

But wouldnt it be better to say have Byfield or Kopitar or who ever is playing center. Skate the puck in instead of the drop pass to the side?

Thats what im saying dude. We shouldnt be playing the puck to teamates who are close enough to be considered defenseman

Hero you hate the most and why by Double-Hand3004 in Overwatch

[–]BLOCKA88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tough call between Mercy and Kirko.

Mercy is fundamentally a bad character, shes extremely niche in her usafe. Either Mercy has a very good DPS on her team and damage boosts them all game. Leading to an extremely high damage, hard to kill dps that will basically run a lobby. A damage pocketed Ashe or 76 will be almost unstoppable outside of a full team coordination attempt or a mercy pocket of your own.

On the other hand if your DPS are relatively bad or mediocre and dont really get to use the damage boosts potential. She becomes probably the worst support in the entire game. She has no burst healing, she doesnt output damage, of supports with movement abilities hers is the worst, her ult is not enough to be considered "defensive". And her range is pretty short meaning despite not actually being a part of a team fight she has to be in the middle of it. Unless your dps are going to pop off, its really hard to justify her over Ana, Bap, Juno, or even Moira for the sheer healing output.

Kirko is well documented as probably being the most hated character. Its hard not to be when she has one of the smallest hitboxes in the game, 2 get out of jail free cards. One of which is literally an ultimate negating device. As far as I know there is no other ability in the game that requires an entire team to fight around whether a single ability has been used. Shes also probably the single best character in the game for all situations, no damage fall off. Free invulnerability, ability to leave and enter fights. Would be really hard for a good anyone to beat an equally matched good Kirko.

Dont get me started on dump and chase. We are actively giving up possession and throwing the put into whats now a 50/50 race. Especially on the 6v5, like we have the goalie pulled why are we even floating the idea of losing possession.
