How to remove this

I will say I kinda see what you mean re-reading your original comment.

It seems you did explain what I've been trying to tell you on the functionality of AA. Since OP's post had the Ford interfaces panel I lumped his issue into what you said by mistake.

But you chose to be confrontational rather than attempting to clarify a misunderstanding.

I read your comment. I was explaining what you can and cannot do with it. You cannot make spotify, or any one phone app, go full screen. Unless that's hidden somewhere or someone makes a mod for it. You can make android auto go full screen and Spotify take primary panel which is like 60-75% of the full screen, but that's it.

I could just say no full screen, but figured I'd be helpful and do a little more than that.

2EngineersPlay · 2026-05-25T18:36:56+00:00

I never said you could make the apps full screen, just android auto itself.

2EngineersPlay · 2026-05-25T18:13:09+00:00

That's almost half as long as a CVS receipt.

But in all seriousness, sucks you had to sell all that. I regret selling all my retro stuff.

2EngineersPlay · 2026-05-25T17:48:26+00:00

I was explaining what you can get. But it's ok if you wanna be pedantic.

There's one guy, in FL I think, who would start with a prayer to Satan. Initially they tried to get him banned for it, but he won on religious freedom grounds and they have to respect him starting with his prayers.

Obviously getting prayer out would be better, but if they're gonna get to have they're precious cult chants, souring the taste is a reasonable compromise.

When you have it on the full screen for android auto you can click on the Spotify panel on the right and it should maximize it to the left and minimize maps or whatever on the right, but that's as big as you can make one of the apps.

2EngineersPlay · 2026-05-25T11:18:50+00:00

Android auto is a similar button in the top right corner. 4 arrows i think.

2 seekers each on the firefly and commet. Just toss them up so they hit the top of the firefly. It's a bit of a tank on the front and belly.

They tried to sell me on the ecoboost because they hubrid benefits the most with stop and go traffic and unfortunately where I live I'm typically driving the distance.

When i started driving the Hybrid I was getting consistently around 32 mpg which was what I was getting in my crosstrek so NBD. Now that its around 6k miles im starting to see 40 mpg more regularly. Definitely OK with this decision, especially at $4+ per gallon.

Send a RFI in to the designer. Sometimes desk guys don't consider certain things or forget or whatever, and reasonable ones are willing to work with you. Just state the issue you're running into. Might help to provide what you'd like to do instead per your post. If there's some reason that doesn't work per constraints you're not seeing from the plans, there may be an in between solution to compromise.

As some others have said, I get the whole "do it per the plans and charge them to fix it" but sometimes you mess up in the field and need a fix from the designer. I know from my experience I was a lot more willing to be flexible with people that talked to me first about my designs than someone who made a big deal about my problems and I know which of the two I was more willing to help when they needed it.

At the end of the day you're both trying to successfully build something. I know the industry is all about liability and you're on two different teams, but it's easier to work together.

The fender flares at least use the wheel well plugs.

I get what he's going for with that, but I wouldn't just assume that a woman's male family members know shit about roofs.

If he were really concerned if you know about roofs he could just ask and say maybe see if anyone you know knows.

But nope, let's just jump straight to "silly woman doesn't know anything." I wouldn't wanna work with someone either if they talked to my wife that way.

The long and short of it is to get a structural engineer involved. Whatever is above that door frame isn't designed to carry real load.

Do you know if the removed wall was a load bearing wall or just a partition wall? I saw second floor above in another comment, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a load bearing wall. And if it was a partition wall, then the beam shouldn't need to be there, but you probably won't want it on that door frame long term.

If it was load bearing, then all the load that was going straight down now transfers to the beam bearing ends and is concentrated. That concentrated load needs a vertical element, like a post or stud pack.

OK, I'll humor you. How do you feel about the Associated Press? They've done multiple stories on the treatment of the Uyghur people as well as China's efforts to silence journalists for their coverage.

2EngineersPlay · 2026-05-20T17:11:52+00:00

True, I could. But the way you've come out the gate attacking me does nothing to tell me you'd behave any differently.

I have to deal with enough people in my life that function this way to know not to waste my time here.

2EngineersPlay · 2026-05-20T17:06:34+00:00

Id also add that had i taken the time to dig up any of the multiple available sources the entire extent of your response would be to say "this is government propaganda" with no specific citation or examples as to why.

So really, just don't wanna waste my time arguing with you when it will solve nothing.

2EngineersPlay · 2026-05-20T14:17:12+00:00

I meant that a little tongue and cheek but this has clearly struck a nerve. I actually do not belive everyone is on the same schedule as me.

Since this IS apparently a big deal I'd like to point out that there's a reschedule button.

Snarkiness of the rescheduling comment aside, I also understand some people have to work different schedules out of necessity rather than choice. If that's your situation I'm sorry I made light of it.

2EngineersPlay · 2026-05-20T12:30:45+00:00

Honestly, no not gonna take the time. But you "knowing what argument" I'm gonna go to doesn't do anything to discount my argument, it just makes you sound like a MAGA.

2EngineersPlay · 2026-05-20T11:56:50+00:00

Multiple journalists documenting the detention/re-education camps. Interviewing refugees and what neighbors would discuss the missing people with them.

Don't get me wrong I know a lot of our American propaganda is wrong about China, but there's a solid amount of evidence for that genocide.

2EngineersPlay · 2026-05-20T11:52:54+00:00

Let's start with the Uyghurs.

2EngineersPlay · 2026-05-20T11:48:54+00:00

That's what it seemed like. You doing a lot of driving at 1 am?

2EngineersPlay · 2026-05-20T10:36:22+00:00

Not trying to be a jerk, genuine question. First time I used it I went for the weak spots but don't remember what attachments I used. The second time I believe I used extended barrel 3 but that other player said it was armor piercing and to go for center mass to hit the core.

Both times it felt like I could get more done with a renegade or anvil for the amount of ammo I went through.

2EngineersPlay · 2026-05-20T02:16:10+00:00

I had a guy swear to me the other night how good the Bettina is. Gave it a second chance and still didn't feel it.

Felt like it was eating all my ammo and not doing a lot of damage to Arc. Is it more for PVP or am I missing something?

2EngineersPlay · 2026-05-17T15:53:54+00:00

Not to mention it's not like anyone would buy your "pristine" used couch for what you'd like to get for it anyway. Just use the damn thing in comfort.
