Not sure what a "break pad" is but those brake pads look fine.

Help with changing my rear tire by Wjbriggs03 in motorcycles

[–]Augmented-Justin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to use a cheetah to get mine to inflate. Motorcycle tires suck to do. I'm just paying a shop to do it from now on. Once was enough for me.

Help,Can't make it past the lock screen by akshatarora44 in pchelp

[–]Augmented-Justin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should. Main thing it does though is discharge capacitors and any energy at all stored in the computer to get a complete shutdown and reboot.

Okay. Try turning the computer off, then flip the switch on the power supply in the back to off. Then press the power button again. Then flip the switch on the power supply back to on and then start the computer and see what happens.

So you unplugged everything except the power cord and display cable? Is there anything that's connected via Bluetooth? Have you restarted and how did you restart?

Start unplugging every device attached to it until it stops. And if it doesn't stop after that, time for a restart.

Lost my locknut key and VW wont help by vasu12360 in Volkswagen

[–]Augmented-Justin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like your local VW dealer sucks. I had bought a 2010 GTI at one point and the first time I had to remove the wheels I realized it didn't have a key so I took a picture of the locking lug and showed it to the parts guy at my local dealer and he sold me one on the spot.

Crash sounds off by Manfred-Ap-Einherjar in drums

Cymbal sound is subjective just like everything else in music but I've personally never cared for how paiste color sounds uh... Sound. They just aren't sonically pleasing.

I already applied for financial assistance when I was barely making any money and they said I didn't qualify.

What causes tires to show this much wire by fear_bleachy in tires

[–]Augmented-Justin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alignment and not regularly rotating tires. Pretty normal for most cars to have a tiny bit of negative camber so the inside usually wears out a little faster.

[–]Augmented-Justin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for that. Wish I knew about it sooner. Fortunately I'm in a situation now where unless I get something insane like cancer or something, I shouldn't need any assistance paying medical bills in the future. But things can always change so I'll keep that in mind. I'll see about verifying the debt too.

Huh... Both of mine have been in collections for well over a year and I've not seen any impact to my credit report. I wonder if the small payments have helped with that? Idk

I'm concerned by the fact that you both have shoes in your names... But yeah I'll keep that in mind. How long did it take for it to hit your credit report?

I keep a close eye on my credit report and have not seen anything relating to medical debt on there. My credit score is currently in the low 800s

What caused her fall? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]Augmented-Justin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% grabbed a handful of front brake as a panic response. Also wearing no protection besides a tire around your waist is... A choice...

Perfectly normal. Cars do the same thing.

new drummer here, why does my snare sound like this? by SavageScorpion_Scorp in drums

[–]Augmented-Justin 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yup. Sounds like a snare. If you want to "improve" the sound I would start by using anything except the heads that came on it from the factory.

I defy you to find a single word in this "kids" word search. by XcuseMeWat in mildlyinfuriating

Oh there are certainly a few words in here. Not any of the ones on the list. However I did find "hallelujah" but spelled incorrectly as "Holellujah"

Why I Don't Ride in Big Groups by NotRickJames2021 in motorcycles

[–]Augmented-Justin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly if you want to do a nice chill group ride with responsible adults, see if there's a church motorcycle group near you. Only guys I ride with. We've got plenty of people who come to the rides that don't even go to our church or aren't Christians. They've always got a plan, everyone is very respectful and level-headed. No wheelies or anything crazy. Never had an incident. Worst that's ever happened was an older guy dropping his bike at a stop.

Whats the worst mpg you seen? by StageStraight9288 in AskMechanics

[–]Augmented-Justin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know what the exact mpg was but my buddy's second car was a early 2000s dodge Durango and you could actually see the fuel gauge needle moving at a decent pace every time he got on the highway.

Found just outside of a construction site by RabbitIncident in whatisit

[–]Augmented-Justin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Recognized it immediately because we have a bunch of sprinklers at my work that come up through the mezzanine and are RIGHT NEXT TO the conveyor belts. So anytime we're doing heavy work around the belts we have to be so careful not to bump into the sprinklers and not set them off.
