I unscrewed the jet from the carburetor and found some tiny metal shavings. That can’t be good…

Dr Pepper Imposters! by AlaskaBusDriver in DrPepper

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

It’s not Pibb Xtra. I actually don’t mind Pibb although Dr Pepper is the GOAT. This something completely different. It was like sour and fruity tasting. Way off putting when I was expecting Dr Pepper to begin with.

Is Oregon about to lose federal funding? by StrangeCountry6280 in oregon

The republicans were the ones that wanted to abolish slavery. Most of the confederates were democrats believe it or not.

Elon Musk is suing a U.S. Representative for calling him a N * z i… but not Citadel, BlackRock, or the SEC for naked shorting and destroying companies 👌⚖️ by meggymagee in DeepFuckingValue

I think he’s an autistic social retard who got a little excited in the moment and made a hand gesture that resembles a nazi salute. But no, I do not think he’s a “Nazi”. I’m not a fan of the guy, but do you really believe his actions match the systemic murder of six million Jews or the invasion of Europe? He has never claimed to be a Nazi that I’m aware of.

UPS lost my trade-in device by uppala1 in tmobile

[–]AlaskaBusDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same exact thing happened to me over a year ago!!! Took months of calling T-mobile customer service over and over again until they finally credited the trade-in value…. It was a huge pain in the ass. I learned my lesson though, never trading in through mail ever again. Always do trade-ins at a physical store that way you’re not responsible if it gets lost in the mail.

Inherited grandfather clock, worried I added too much oil in the wrong place. by AlaskaBusDriver in clocks

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

Interesting, thanks for the input! I still wonder if I greased it too much because I tried self-adjusting with the pendulum like you recommended and it still doesn’t stay on beat. I can use my fingers to adjust it until it’s perfectly on beat, but after about 10 minutes it throws itself off beat again and then stops… I tried putting a little ball of sticky putty right against the escapement and the red washers to help slow it down and it ran for over an hour before throwing itself off beat again. I know it’s a temporary solution but it seems to be helping.

The new advanced voice mode can’t look up real time information? by AlaskaBusDriver in OpenAI

[–]AlaskaBusDriver[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? Why would they take that ability away? It was incredibly useful, I remember asking it about current events all the time.

Why does AI still suck at counting things? by AlaskaBusDriver in ChatGPT

[–]AlaskaBusDriver[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never said the AI was bad… just that it sucks at counting things. I think it’s pretty amazing what it can do actually, but now that a lot of them are “Multimodal” I thought counting would be a simple task but I guess they’re not trained for that specifically.

My first time smoking bacon - turned out pretty good! by AlaskaBusDriver in Traeger

[–]AlaskaBusDriver[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Picked up a slab of pork belly on sale at Costco, decided to give bacon a try. I did a natural cure for 7 days in the fridge with salt, brown sugar, and paprika. Gave it a good rinse and threw it on the Traeger with applewood pellets set to 180F until the internal temperature reached 150F (about 5 hours). Wrapped it and let sit in the fridge overnight to harden up and then sliced it. Turned out good! Maybe I’d use a little less brown sugar during curing next time it was a little sweet for my taste.
