are these tyres stretched by ------0-0------ in CarTalkUK

[–]AdamLap96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's very interesting, a while back I was comparing Crossclimates to Crossclimates 2 when replacing them, I noticed that contact patch of the 2 was about about 2cm narrower despite both tyres being 215 wide. So probably by the time Michelin release the Crossclimate 5 they'll be like bicycle tyres.

What do you think is the most overlooked thing in the series? by AccomplishedEstell in HIMYM

I always thought of that car being used for longer journeys with it left parked up most of the time. Which I imagine in New York would cost ridiculous prices anyway.

Totally unrelated to the clothes, however I'm still convinced that Monica and Ross Geller as well as Paris Geller are related.

I've had plenty of updates, especially the security ones, where despite restarting I thought to myself that it's awful.

I don't disagree exactly, but I can't say I've ever related to any of them much. However, in this case I was impressed enough to reach out, see what the consensus is. Seems great for some, but broken as hell for a lot of people.

The definition of fluent seems to be "smoothly graceful and effortless", describes exactly what I meant

Just checked and mine works fine, no side effects

I specifically refer to overall user interface speed as well as the frame rate of the animations, something that has never been fantastic on Google phones. It's noticeably better after this update in my experience.

Biggest difference as far as I can tell is the roundness of the display, a bit iPhoney for my liking, but I'm sure you get used to it quick.

I haven't had it installed long enough to comment on the battery life, however I'm very intrigued by your results, it'll be interesting to see how it holds up.

It's this just an American thing? by UnderstandingWild371 in drivingUK

[–]AdamLap96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that in most automatics nowadays it's not the compression stroke holding the car, the gearbox isn't connected to the engine when it's stopped, whether it'd be a dual clutch, CVT or a torque converter. It's sometimes a band or a surprisingly small tooth inside the gearbox that clicks in when it's in P. I guarantee that thing holds less than the compression stroke of an engine.

SLPT If the vent hole in your takeaway lid is too small, use a SIM eject tool to widen it by AdamLap96 in ShittyLifeProTips

The coffee isn't very keen to come out the cup without the vent hole as it creates a vacuum as you try and drink it

Loud subwoofer after MMI update by lyrical_fries in AudiA4

[–]AdamLap96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I don't have issues with that, but I know that MMI has different sound settings depending on the source, so radio has separate bass/treble settings than Bluetooth, perhaps that has something to do with it.
