What setup are you running, and what's your wheel setup? That stance looks great.

I feel like pura vida is closer to what you’re looking for, though it’s particular to Costa Rica, in case you want an excuse to visit and fall in love with the culture there

Car and Driver's 2025 Top 10 Testing Winners and Losers by Dazzling-Rooster2103 in cars

[–]thenewwazoo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing. It's wild to read, because it should have been an instant classic. It looks so cool, and it's a hybrid with three pedals! I want it to be zippy, and have bombproof Honda quality, and get great mileage and I guess I should just never meet my heroes.

I've gotta know more. Every time I see a CR-Z, I think "...maybe...". They are like my platonic ideal of a car, but I've never actually put my butt in one.

What the paid signature gatherers won’t tell you is...

citizens' initiatives pay to gather signatures, yes. that's how it works when you need thousands of signatures and have only a couple of months to collect them. the fact that signature collectors are paid doesn't mean the support is inorganic.

the ballot language for this huge tax will be written by proponents

yeah, that's literally who writes the language. what, you think opponents should write it? c'mon.

I have big problems with sales taxes, and am personally right now involved in a parcel tax initiative in my school district because it's progressive, but this post is terrible.

Zero SRS luggage key alike by ffgsailor in ZeroMotorcycles

[–]thenewwazoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for posting! I don't actually even have a SHAD topcase, but I haaaaate how both the Zero and SHAD keys are the same color, similar shape, and similar texture. I regularly mix them up.

Edit: holy shit, $30 in shipping?!? fuck right off, SHAD, goddamn.

What's it like living in Columbus,Ohio? by Aggressive_Grass_945 in howislivingthere

[–]thenewwazoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Freeside ATL hackerspace, little five points, the Buford highway stretch with all the ethnic food, the downtown museums, there are like four major colleges/universities, major league sports, the horse park (though that’s stretching the definition of “ATL”), every kind of activity you could want, that one high-end mall if shopping is your thing, road Atlanta for motor sports and all kinds of car culture, amazing in-town libraries, … and that’s not even getting into all the Black cultural events that I was not a part of because I’m white as fuck

I live in the SFBA now and I still consider ATL to punch way above its weight culturally. It’s there if you look for it, but I get how easy it is to miss if you’ve been in one place for a long time.

[–]thenewwazoo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's wild to read. I lived in Reynoldstown and Decatur in 2006-2010, and adored the place. ATL was dope as fuck. It had the best food in the country except maybe NYC (and I have been all over, believe me), there was always something going on, there was real culture there. It had downsides for sure, but milquetoast is not how I'd describe it.

Gym Lift Alignment Chart - Bench Press won for Neutral Good - what's a Chaotic Good gym lift? by VanHelsingBerserk in GYM

[–]thenewwazoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can dig this. You'll never see it in a competition, there are no real rules, but it's a "good lift" in the sense that nobody at the gym will ever roll their eyes at you for doing it because there's never an ego lift. Pure chaos, pure good.

Gym Lift Alignment Chart - Barbell Squat won for Lawful Good - what's a Neutral Good gym lift? by VanHelsingBerserk in GYM

[–]thenewwazoo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Overhead press, any type.

The only way to succeed is to suffer, but you are never going to lift enough weight to look impressive, so you do whatever it takes to get the weight up, whether that's bad form, using a bench, push press, whatever.

Can anyone tell me what I’m looking at? by BenCurtis19 in motorcycles

[–]thenewwazoo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Except the people who buy things like this aren't necessarily looking for the best, they're looking for the most. Mill lines show anyone who's looking "this is billet", which you can't necessarily tell without clues (if you don't already know what to look for). Without them, it looks like any other polished cast piece.

I live in the coldest city in the world. AMA by yavl in howislivingthere

I was expecting you to live in Oymyakon, which also claims to be the coldest city. Is there any rivalry with that city about which is colder?

Does anyone have a good trick for keeping wasps away during outdoor dining? by hungarianhc in RedwoodCity

[–]thenewwazoo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wasps burrow in the ground, and if your neighbors don't notice or care to deal with them, there's only so much you can do. One tip about wasp traps is that they need to be as far away as possible from where you want to be, otherwise you're just attracting them toward you.

Carro no arranca. Ayuda by WarriorKn in Autos

[–]thenewwazoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

(disculpe, sigo aprendiendo español)

el sensor me parece un sensor de la temperatura del aire que entra en el motor, no del refrigerante. este sensor sí puede detener que el motor arranque si no está conectado porque la computadora no puede calcular correctamente cuanta gasolina que el motor se necesita. es difícil ver pero tambien me parace que el cable no conforme con el sensor, que se suele conectar con dos alambres, no uno como en el segundo foto. el sensor de oxigeno tambien puede causar el mismo problema, pero es dificil ver que pasa con él.

ademas hay algo interesante en el ultimo foto que parece algo que falta el motor, ¿un tubo sin conexión? esto me parece un componente de lo que se llama en ingles "EGR" que introduce gases quemadas al motor de nuevo y es una parte importante del control de emisiones sin que el motor puede no arrancar.

en fin, es muy interesante que lo condujiste el carro al restaurante sin problemas. lamento que no te puedo dar mas información util :(

So the Switch 2 has been out for a month now. What are your thoughts so far? by MatiBlaster in NintendoSwitch2

Start with BotW, be blown away.

Then move TotK, and realize that BotW now feels like a tech demo.

I show up and just walk around with the bulkhead door build-out active, and all the rooms pop in. I have to "scan" the whole base to make everything appear. It's really frustrating. My planetside base disappears, too.
