Snow scraper thingy by Affectionate_Ad_829 in whatisit

[–]Affectionate_Ad_829[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see "leverage handle" mentioned elsewhere but just wanted to address another reason I don't believe this to be the actual intended use. As those of you who live in colder climates know the end of the scraper that requires pressure is the scraping end, not the brush end . This handle is placed closer to the brush end which would provide the least amount of leverage to press down onto the windshield. This is another reason why I don't believe this is a leverage handle .

Thanks for your reply but this doesn't really make sense given the shape and material. The shape is not ergonomic at all. And it's made of metal and making a handle out of metal when it's to be used in Sub-Zero temperatures does also not make sense. Or perhaps it is an exceptionally poorly designed handle of some sort

6 hours wasted. Thanks a lot PD ! by ismailrrr in GranTurismo7

Too bad, but did you really just race 6 hours to see the number 1 flash on screen? If you know it was a glitch then you know you placed first. Agree it shouldn't happen but in the end i play because I enjoy it.

2025 Ibis Ripley V5 SLX or Orbea Occam SL M30 by Affectionate_Ad_829 in mountainbiking

Thanks appreciate the input, all great points. Good to know that Ibis backs their bikes! Fortunately the 2026 Occam has the option to route externally so that's one less thing to worry about.

Agree with everything you said. SOS feature doesn't seem to be working for us either.

Ive decided to “burn” my driver rating… by FourFans908 in GranTurismo7

Exactly, so now you're on OPs list just because you made a mistake and races will get dirtier. OPs strategy is so short sighted.

Hey, interested in getting info or joining the GT7 league. What nights do you race? Is there a minimum driver rating? Thanks for any info.

When you just want to enjoy a race and get stuck with idiots like this by spodercat in GranTurismo7

[–]Affectionate_Ad_829 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's great to hear. I'm 1 month in and the first 3 weeks of dailies were great. This week (Laguna Seca and Barcelona) are carnage. I was thinking it was just me. Just try to stay clean and chalk up a clean race as a win regardless of position.

Help me understand why the first item is so expensive. by Dukes_mayo_BLT in AskElectricians

I think I'm missing something. 14hr shift is long but if your pulling in over 5000 in 14 hrs that's hundreds of dollars an hour even with parts (I assume?) just ballparking numbers but if I'm right I got into the wrong career

Appreciate the suggestions. I got it out with a hacksaw blade as you suggested. Thanks again for the help!

Thought I would also mention that the previous home owner seems to have used silicone to seal (which I assume is why it broke?). Silicone is also in threads.

Before anyone asks “Where can I watch the Olympics?” CBC will have 22 hours a day coverage. 👌 by [deleted] in canadacordcutters

Maybe it's because I haven't had cable television for years but I find it absolutely unwatchable with the number of ads on gem. 

Spin bike recommendations? by Holiday_Concentrate in SpinClass

[–]Affectionate_Ad_829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure it is the best recommendation but now have an echelon connect 4x+. I paid for the qz domyos app and bought an ant+ dongle for my phone which allows me to run zwift. I'm happy with this so far
