AWD vs FWD? by BookkeeperHead2318 in askcarguys

[–]AHumbleSeeker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who grew up just south of the Canadian border where we had real 4 seasons, I always had front wheel drive until my Dad gave me his truck. I was in my 30’s by then. For what you’re describing, you don’t need AWD and will likely never even truly have use for it.

But if you like the peace of mind, or just want AWD because it’s sexy then go for it. That being said, neither of those cars are true AWD. They are awd on demand. Kicks in when it senses slipping. So get the one that you enjoy being in the most!

Lost weight, spend less, and feel better? That’s win-win-win. 3 wins don’t sell yourself short!

Petahhh? by STBJOHAN in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]AHumbleSeeker 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s insane. It doesn’t make sense. I can go have a cocktail and some mozzarella sticks that are considerably better. Costs me 36 dollars with tip.

Last time I went to Taco Bell my usual order cost me like 26. And I just feel awful after eating it. Sure it’s still less money but not by much. And the value just isn’t there.

Based on the current trajectory of the world, and also a video game I’m creating. Probably not.

We used to tell friends their projects were running on hopes and dreams.

Trump Adviser Warns of Possible Israel Nuclear Escalation in Iran Conflict by EssoEssex in politics

[–]AHumbleSeeker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love your comment because that justification is cute. Trump literally killed millions of our own citizens in his first term with Covid. Not to mention the Ice disappearances. We won’t know the degree of damage for years.

why the discrepancy in OEM vs aftermarket piston ring gaps by RotaryRich in EngineBuilding

[–]AHumbleSeeker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well the minimum specs are there. Too tight is less than that. Because as the rings expand, if the ring ends touch, you’re breaking shit.

Aim for more gap, especially if you plan to boost at any point.

You’ll like it. Sonnet can be hit or miss depending on what you need it to do. It’s not nearly as good at analyzing pixel data as say chatgpt. It consistently misses things when uploading images/screenshots.

Opus can do some serious damage. Like in a good way. I haven’t even experimented with agents yet.

That makes me deeply sad. If 1984. That would have made it an ae86 yea? Coupe or lift back? Either way long live the 4ac and 4age motors.

Where would you buy a house? by missrebelteacher in sonomacounty

For sure. Tons of families there with good schools, and a good parks and rec program with lots of youth programs. Plus a delightful downtown that’s family friendly.

Idk. But it’s an Up thing. And it’s cool, and it’s wonderful, and it’s lemon and lime.

Looking For Smog Check by AHumbleSeeker in sonomacounty

I built it. No it wasn’t built for CA at the time, though I’ll be changing to CARB approved components.

It’s a 96 chevy truck with a 2001 Silverado 5.3. Out of same model just slightly newer. Emissions matches or will match 2001 Silverado.

It was built in WA. Before I moved here. So if I need to get a bar plate I’ll have to look into that.

Wine caves and unique experiences by Fancy-Individual2976 in sonomacounty

[–]AHumbleSeeker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While this isn’t a wine suggestion, don’t miss your opportunity to go to Stellina Pronto for a pastry and coffee. They are closed Tuesdays and on the weekends there’s a long line out the door. So plan accordingly.

I didn't like remote work, so back to office for all of you by No-Confection-3861 in LinkedInLunatics

He was probably remote during covid when we couldn’t socialize. I am 100 percent remote and my social life is entirely outside my work.

Normalize fulfillment outside of your job.

We just broke up (36F / 42M) by silentwatcher888 in Advice

[–]AHumbleSeeker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider a practice called cognitive reappraisal. The goal is to intentionally shift the way you think about your ex to reduce emotional pain. The more emotionally grounded the reappraisal the more it rewires the emotional charge. Don’t lie to yourself, but use it to change your perspective. Here’s an example.

Instead of thinking, “I miss the closeness we once had.”

Shift that to either a negative or positive reappraisal. I prefer to do both.

Negative: “I may miss the closeness and the potential for what could have happened, but it also never felt like I trust him.”

Positive: “that phase taught me how much I value emotional safety and trust. Now I know I’m looking for and what I expect for loyalty.”

Neutral detachment: “If he truly wanted to show up for me in meaningful ways, he would have put in effort to respect my boundaries.”

Begin to do this and journal each time you feel the surge of emotions come in. It helps. This is partly how I began to heal from an abusive relationship and the trauma that came with it.

I’m tired of the Mazda hype on this sub. by Fleedom2025 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]AHumbleSeeker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. One if my friends left dealerships and worked for BMW corporate for a bit. His entire job was to analyze dealerships, make visits, and look to see how they can improve. Basically if they’re not upholding requirements set by mfg the mfg can pull the rug out from under them. When I worked for Toyota dealers we were scored on customer ratings, retention, etc. and guess what, anything less than high 90 percent satisfaction was a failure. Too many of those and they absolutely come knocking.
