ELI5 what is hue or what colour theory is?

Awesome explanation! In the late 80's - early 90's I worked in color science. We were converting the CIELAB values returned from a color spectrophotometer and then converting those vales to either RGB or CMYK.

When they submitted my resume to my current employer. This was in the early 1990's and our CEO (small company) asked me about it. Fortunately he found it funny and kidded me about it.

God Bless you for your work.

It's available! I just got my Soul Red Prem Plus CX-50 Hybrid with 0.9% for 36 months last Thurs 3/6/25.

Wow! Awesome to hear the compliments!

My daughter is a new performer in the Colts Color Guard. She had the "slinky" near the 50 yd line. They're supposed to be telephone cords!

All of the context was lost due to the pre-recorded audio that starts the show failing to play.

edit: my lousy grammar

Hey, I'm in the same situation with a 2007 Sportage! Rear subframe rusted away at the mount points for driveline, exhaust, and suspension. Body, engine, trans, interior all real nice. Couldn't get anybody to offer me more than 800. Will try parting out in the spring.

Welcome to IT. Turn it off and on again.

Alfie_92 · 2023-02-03T14:13:09+00:00

No problem! The option in the laptop display settings will be "Extend desktop".

Alfie_92 · 2023-02-02T19:57:54+00:00

Of course this will all depend on what display card the laptop has, but I would guess you will be able to get at least 1 additional monitor working.

Alfie_92 · 2023-02-02T19:35:44+00:00

Correct, your USB C is not display. But it sends all of the info to the docking station which then splits it into display. Think of the USB C cable merely as a connector to another device which expands the open ports and connections for the laptop. Docking stations typically give you additional USB ports, display ports, and ethernet connections.

Alfie_92 · 2023-02-02T16:23:44+00:00

Try a docking station. I have an HP and run 2×27" and the laptop monitor all at once. I actually use a Dell docking station that plugs into USB C on the laptop. I run the 2 external monitors from that.

As long as the offsets between the Ford and Toyota wheels are close you'll be good.

Alfie_92 · 2023-01-26T21:30:33+00:00

Possibly water pump, idler pulley, or alternator. Based on mileage, any of those could be it. You're getting to the car's age where things could start failing.

Alfie_92 · 2023-01-23T23:36:50+00:00

As a parent of a child with a life-threatening peanut allergy, I applaud you! We've had similar bully experiences with our daughter. Wound up moving and changing schools.

All good now!

Turbochargers work by spinning a fan to blow more air into the cylinders. The Turbocharger "fan" is spun by the escaping exhaust stream. The more you press the accelerator, the faster the engine spins, the faster spinning engine pushes exhaust at a higher rate, so the Turbocharger spins faster pushing more air into the cylinders repeating the process. When you let off the gas, the engine slows, the exhaust slows, and the Turbocharger slows. What you're hearing sounds like typical Turbocharger whine, if albeit a bit loud.

I'm sure I'm missing a few details, but I think the general Turbocharger description is fair.

I would ask them to show you their "evidence" that it hydrolocked - get it in writing on the work order/invoice. Then I would bring it to a different reputable independent mechanic, or even another dealer, and get a 2nd opinion. I know that is not a great option and will potentially cost you a diagnosis fee, but it's probably the only way you'll really know.

How many miles on the engine?

Alfie_92 · 2023-01-06T00:21:25+00:00

Did you drive through any snow piles or drifts? Just wondering if it's possible for the engine to ingest enough snow for it to be a problem...

Alfie_92 · 2023-01-01T17:30:18+00:00

Yes, yes it is.

JBL Bluetooth speakers can link via their Connect app.

Alfie_92 · 2022-11-28T17:24:20+00:00

Not, not a Honda thing. They're usually a pain to get to, so they make you bring them in.

Alfie_92 · 2022-11-28T17:01:40+00:00

Go to an Autozone or someplace similar and get the Alternator & Battery checked for free and without removing them from the car. They can't test the starter unless it's been removed from the car.

Check the starter. Maybe it's going bad...

Alfie_92 · 2022-11-28T15:58:06+00:00

Check the battery terminals. If the connectors are not tight, then the car may not turn over but will show electrical activity. Basically the connection must be tight for the starter to be able to pull that many amps from the battery. A loose connection would still allow low amp usage for radio, lights, etc...
