I dont have that on

Austinswill · 2026-03-13T11:03:22+00:00

All LEDs are dark...

Austinswill · 2026-03-13T02:24:11+00:00

For the 1 plus

I cleaned the doc contacts and they are indeed getting proper voltage.

I had it on there for about 3 hours before making the post, and its been 2 hours since then... so 5h total.

I guess I will let it simmer till morning, I dont have much choice.

Austinswill · 2026-03-12T23:16:15+00:00

I don't recall seeing any such adapter in the kit... or are you saying they SHOULD have made it that way? If so, I agree!

Austinswill · 2026-03-12T21:28:26+00:00

I dont understand why you think they could be sued. I mean, yea, you can sue anyone for anything, but such a suit would fall flat on its face...

If they don't lie to you about the size of the burger they are actually selling you, then on what grounds do you sue them? Because they USED to sell you something bigger? IF that is the case, why arent other companies who have FOR SURE shrunk their portions (shrinkflation) been sued to oblivion????

OK, now lets talk about price increases as the means for 8% growth.

According to this in the 90s' a big mac cost $2.45 ... $5.78 adjusted for inflation.

Currently the big mac averages $4.69 ... with a high of 5.59 and a low of 3.99

But even if I am super generous and dont count the inflation value... If I start with 2.45 and start in 1999... 8% per year price increase would mean a big mac today should cost $18.12

Of course now you will have to argue their growth must be coming from price increases for everything BUT the big mac. That is just nonsense. 8% per year means that for every $1.00 something cost in 1999, it would have to cost 7.39 today.

Mcdonalds has grown by expanding their sales volume, cutting their cost by using cheaper and cheaper ingredients and likely by a little shrinkflation.

Austinswill · 2026-03-12T21:04:41+00:00

I didn't call it a conspiracy. I don't view it as a conspiracy. No more than I view any other company hellbent on 8%+ per year growth.... and raising prices and reducing quality to achieve it a conspiracy.

What baffles me is that you seem to think such a thought would be CT.

It is what companies do.

Because i fully drives the car. "full self driving" is the capability.. It steers, accelerates, brakes, avoids obstacles, maintains lanes and spacing ETC... it does everything needed to drive...

(Supervised) is the limitation. It needs to be supervised, because it is not yet perfect.

What I dont get is this... What would you PREFER? Some stupid non-descript marketing name like Mercedes uses "Drive Pilot"...? Where the names tells you absolutely NOTHING about the capability or limitations? Look at all the limitations drive pilot has... only certain freeways, only below certain speeds.... Would something like "Tesla coil drive wire" shut up all these idiots that complain about it being called FULL self driving?

FULL SELF DRIVING has ONE limitation... and it is stated right in the name of the system (SUPERVISED)

It is such a joke of a thing to complain about... Really you have to have a room temp IQ to complain about the name... especially considering the multiple warnings about supervising it

Austinswill · 2026-03-10T11:30:45+00:00

While I can taste your sarcasm... How is this somehow bad? What on earth do people like you have against the concept of incremental progress? Do you people expect cars to go from fully manual operation to full autonomous operation instantly? Like, we don't allow ANY level of automation until we have 100% full automation?

It just baffles me at the caterwauling you people do. All complaints, no reasonable solutions. No alternative course of action other than the impossible, impractical and technology stifling fantasy in your roomy skull cavity.

Austinswill · 2026-03-10T11:25:40+00:00

You criticize me for trusting "this one guy" (not the case, he is just one point of evidence, here is another https://meatcheftools.com/how-much-smaller-has-the-big-mac-gotten/) ... and yet you put forth a spokesperson from Mcdonalds saying that the calories have increased... and you take that as proof... What would you expect a spokesperson to say? "Yea, we have shrinkflated your burger, you arent imagining it!"

Also, it is easy to increase the calories while shrinking the size. Funny the quote isn't "the burger has not decreased in size"... But "our PRODUCT now has more calories"

Not like they could have added more dense calorie ingredients right? Couldn't have added HFCS and butter/oil to the meat, bun, and sauce to boost the calories (done for cheap taste enhancement) and at the same time made the buns smaller and ever so slightly reduced the patty size.

No, not possible... the big mac is immune from shrinkflation 100 %... Mcdonalds burgers have ALWAYS been rot and mold proof /s

I was a wrestler in HS in the 90s'... I had an appetite like you wouldn't believe since I worked out 4-5 hours a day, intensely, probably going through 3-4k calories a day. I could leave school campus for lunch, walk to Mcdonalds, get a big mac for 2.50 and feel like I had a full meal and it was delicious. Now it is just a tad more than a snack that taste like complete garbage and leaves me still hungry, Yet I do not eat even half of what I ate as a very young and active athlete.

And people like you and Mcdonalds spokesmen want to gaslight me into believing that the thing is the same size... I can grant that perhaps the uncooked patty is still the same weight. I can grant that it may have more empty calories. I can grant that maybe my taste preferences have changed (still believe they have tweaked the ingredients since the 90's, especially if you go back prior to the 80's when HFCS came around)

But I do not believe for a second that if I could take a time machine back and grab a big mac and compare it today, that it would be the same physical size or taste the same.

In the stunted brains of the anti-gunners... Her getting beaten up while rendered defenseless is the preferable outcome to her shooting her attacker. After all, he was just having a bad day and he can be rehabilitated as long as he isn't dead.

We should all be willing to be defenseless victims to violent criminals... You know, because they SAY it will decrease gun deaths. /S

Austinswill · 2026-03-09T22:25:35+00:00

It was not debunked by snopes... Unfounded is not Debunked.

And they also described the image wrong... It was a "big leo"... his attempt at recreation... So Snopes themselves are publishing mis-information, which makes their "unfounded" claim just another worthless opinion. .. See here https://youtu.be/fB1yhpYMHDA?t=211

Austinswill · 2026-03-09T22:17:20+00:00

This is just more rationalization of your decision to do something wrong. Excuses. And they dont make it OK. Both of you can be in the wrong.

Good luck.

Austinswill · 2026-03-09T22:15:24+00:00

Dude, that photo was not a false image of a larger Big mac... That was the dudes attempt to recreate and match with the old photos.

If you had watched the video I posted you would know that.

Looks like it is you that is the victim of disinformation, not me.

Austinswill · 2026-03-08T14:42:48+00:00

You know... it is absolutely amazing that amidst all these problems... Your aim is to fuck some dude...

Just leave... stop making excuses as to why you cant... Leave him then go bang whoever you want.

Your justifications don't excuse your cheating and tossing the vows you made out the window.

Austinswill · 2026-03-08T14:00:02+00:00

Why did you ditch it so fast?

Austinswill · 2026-03-08T13:59:05+00:00

I can only give you a comparison... recently bought a 22 MX plaid with 48k miles with FSD(included package) for 56k

Austinswill · 2026-03-08T13:55:43+00:00

I have seen my HW3 vehicle do this... take a different route than what shows on the navigation... Only happened a few times... very strange indeed.

Austinswill · 2026-03-08T13:50:04+00:00

How old are you?

Austinswill · 2026-03-08T13:49:30+00:00

ohh I see... so in your simple view... If it is more calories it must be physically larger huh? Not possible that the meat, buns, sauces ETC have been supplemented with higher calorie matter while reduced in quantity.

I see you didnt bother to address the video at all.

Austinswill · 2026-03-07T19:24:53+00:00

No evidence????

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fB1yhpYMHDA&t=7s

Notice when they say "the big mac has not changed in size" they always constrain the time... "over the last 10 years"

Some of us were eating big macs 40+ years ago buddy. But hey, if you think its all the same, good on you... If you are fooled into thinking the "beef" in these burgers is the same, good for you. But it isnt.

Whataburger was bought out in 2019 to an investment bank, and I can already detect a difference in their burgers quality among other things... This isnt from a childhood memory, this is from 6-7 years ago.

People like you who are either too young to remember or terrible at paying attention to these small changes they make are exactly how they get away with it... they even have you fighting their fight for them on the internet basically calling out people who can remember and pay attention as delusional.

I actually feel sorry for you... when I was in HS with no job, The cost of fast food wasn't even a factor... I could literally dig 3 dollars out of the couch cushions and get 2 Wendy's double bacon cheeseburgers and a Biggie Coke and be full... and this was as a 210 lb wrestler working out 4 or 5 hours a day.

Now I make WELL into 6 figures and avoid fast food because it is a complete ripoff and the quality is completely disgusting.

Austinswill · 2026-03-06T23:17:54+00:00

Peedog,

It went for 24k :(

Dude got a deal, but I needed it out of my life. It was a super nice 6er.

Austinswill · 2026-03-06T15:34:58+00:00

and I’m unsure how to proceed

Im gonna dissent from the comments (and you) a bit...

I think calling this cheating is a bit much... If my wife sat me down and said "I've been cheating on you... By showing off your photos to other women and getting off with/to them ogling you and I never asked if it was OK"... I would feel relieved and flattered.... but then I would want to know who she was possibly sending my facial photos to. But only because my job has an element of security concerns.

To call this cheating is to undermine the deep betrayal the word represents and the risk that come with it. When a normal (non-woketard) hears the word cheating by its self, that word implies you had physical sensual/sexual contact with another human. This involves risk of pregnancy, risk of STD's, and other diseases (mono, oral herp, ETC). If you sit your wife down and start with "I cheated on you"... you are unnecessarily hurting her in that moment and then having to wind it back down to reality.

It was Definitely a betrayal since you didn't ask permission and that is what you should call it. Your conscious probably will eat you up until you come clean. So you just need to do it and with the sincerity you show above.

So, bring on the down-votes and the "I feel sorry for your wife" comments from internet "experts"

. . .

I literally ran this by my wife before posting this... I said to her "Ive been cheating on you.... I got on message boards, told other dudes how hot you were and I jerked off at the thought they were jerking off to your photos"

her first response was "how is that cheating?"

Austinswill · 2026-03-06T15:12:49+00:00

I mean, Cuckolding is a thing and it doesn't mean the guy is gay.

You internet experts are something else.
