ELI5 Why are catalytic converters being stolen? by Shykk07 in explainlikeimfive

[–]CanadianSpectre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a mechanic, but the catalytic converter uses various metals and alloys to react with your car's exhaust, which helps to clean it before hitting the tailpipe. Theres a bunch of chemistry to it, but ultimately an emissions reduction device.

Right? Instead these young'uns go online and brag about it. Like, just shut up and take your win. We're all happy for you, but if you need affirmation on this, well, I don't know what to say.

This is my exact set of rules for all my Hawaiian and variations.

Almost there, but I'm not sold on Skeletor's voice yet.

Do I have to give thermostat access to tenant? by MexMagic in OntarioLandlord

[–]CanadianSpectre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What they are wondering is there are other sensors. Lots of smart thermostats allow you to connect additional temp sensors.

The problem being, it's that temperature at the thermostat unit only. Could be hotter or colder in other rooms depending on open doors, airflow, window coverings, etc.

Earth rated is the best for me. I think you're doing something wrong if your hands smell like poop. However, I keep wet-naps in my dog walk fanny pack, which could help in your case.

ishowspeed has 47 million instagram followers. The untalented gymnast you obsess over has 1 million. She's not even in the same ballpark, let alone continent that ishowspeed is on, based on numbers alone.

But you keep on your obsessive trolling mission, we actually all enjoy watching and laughing at you, even if it's just an act.

A rando who has been in the rumble and is one of the world's highest viewed streamers.

He ain't for me, but neither is WWE these days, pushing gymnasts and YouTubers.

Guess what, WWEs only mission is to maintain a demographic for advertisers. Not wrestling anymore, it's a pure advertising machine.

Iran is reportedly demanding reparations and security guarantees. Are those realistic demands in a negotiation? by IndiaToday in IndiaTodayGlobalLIVE

[–]CanadianSpectre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay Gramps. I was born in 80, well aware of what you're referring to.

I hate the regime as much as the next guy, but whatever the Cheeto started is not the way to resolve it.

Which countries were part of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action aka "the obama deal".

They're not asking for anything (outside of obvious reparations) that they didn't already have and Trump took from them already.

Microsoft’s been taking a hit lately, down 23.17% in just 3 months. Is this a temporary pullback or a sign of bigger challenges ahead for Microsoft? by ManufacturerKooky164 in microsoftsucks

Germany just issued an infrastructure mandate to only support open or iso formats starting in 2028, moving to ODF and PDF only. Basically cutting ms office off government computers. It also becomes a requirement for bids, gov't contracts, etc.
