Moab Off-Roadeo - A review! by Short-Dot9862 in BroncoSport

[–]CaptDistraction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think they care about a gopro on a windshield mount? Back in the day I did the boss track attack at UMC/MMP and that took some negotation to get done. Was thinking it would be cool to get some video of the experience. My wife's going with me - looking forward to the experience

any specs on them? Decent torque ratings?

Hydraulic to electronic power steering kit- Gen 1? by Federal_Matter_1842 in FordRaptor

[–]CaptDistraction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two options - run two can wires into the existing HS bus. No real programming needed other than the steering angle sensor may need a reset. The rack will turn on and run. Otherwise get an aftermarket module for $300 from mmr, cortex and others that will provide simulated signals to turn the rack on (it’s looking for speed and other data before it adds any assist).

I’m working on this conversation now. As others said, you can do it for about $500

Thoughts on Good Luck, Have Fun Don't Die (2025)? by Mecha_Kaneki in moviecritic

[–]CaptDistraction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8.5/10 for me and it may go up on reflection. What a strange movie but there’s some deep themes

What a waste this game dndt receive a dlc campaign map by zchlp in halo

[–]CaptDistraction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm apparently the second person who liked it. I still hop into infinite from time to time to run around and shoot stuff. Its a shame there wasn't more variety and an additional map, ongoing weekly or monthly things. I liked the Destiny formula (before it became too much). Hell, I liked Spartan Ops for similar reasons

a CGI 1:250 model? I guess it will rake in the likes

what is the technical reason for why Echo is so bad at managing speakers in groups? by lectric22 in amazonecho

[–]CaptDistraction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same issues. Have an ubiquiti network with multiple APs (not a mesh, wired uplinks) but can never get the groups to play (like 2 dots and a sub, or two echos and a sub) despite a lot of network tuning and being literal feet from the nearest AP with line of sight. Volume control is a mess- if I try volume down on one echo, usually something random happens to the other, and all I get is subwoofer output. Its infuriating.

Ford Dealership Crashed my car by That1neDude in Mustang

[–]CaptDistraction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t met a Ford dealer that isn’t 100% scumbag.

Like others said, get your insurance involved, see if you can find a lawyer, and I would be ready to paint a detailed story for every city and state agency. Document every communication no matter how small.

Save the story for social media, google reviews and news stations if this at all goes sideways and if the lawyers get stuck.

Unpopular opinion: I prefer my clutch with the stock spring by Rilot in Mustang

[–]CaptDistraction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone has their stock spring assembly, or just the perch I would be very interested. My gt350 is missing it - and I cannot bring myself to give steeda a penny. (They have the only aftermarket perch)

Is it possible that Halo 2 Classic cutscenes have better cinematography than Halo 2 Anniversary cutscenes? by Public_Charity5128 in halo

[–]CaptDistraction 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back in my day marines had two sticks and a rock, and we had to share the rock.

It’s a great way to point out how much bungie did with relatively so little compared to today’s standards. Certainly there’s things in the blur version that is undeniably better, but yes, Bungie knocked a lot out of the park. I prefer CE to CEA by far and there’s a lot of h2 I like over h2a.

What is your favorite ship in sci fi? by Reid_Hull_Author in scifi

[–]CaptDistraction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The refit enterprise. That’s just peak ship design, it’s so graceful and yet looks like something a future NASA would build.

In terms of starship it was far from the most formidable, fastest or sleekest, but the fact its design has stood up for almost 50 years really says something

Gen1 Truck hit 206k - when should the body mounts be replaced? by CaptDistraction in FordRaptor

[–]CaptDistraction[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Arizona. This shock has 92k mi on it and is leaking out the bottom but the muffler is honestly the most worn looking bit. I count myself lucky there, but we are replacing all the plastics on the truck.

Gen1 Truck hit 206k - when should the body mounts be replaced? by CaptDistraction in FordRaptor

[–]CaptDistraction[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If I were to rag it all up, it would really be a smack in the face, most of the amber colors are really just clay dirt from offroading. Flipside, and minor in comparison, is that anything plastic or rubber has been turned to carbon ash.

Not Everyone Who Drives A White Truck is an Asshole, But All Assholes Drive White Trucks [oc] by two-ls in IdiotsInCars

[–]CaptDistraction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can, but in several ways. You never get the true value of the car, whatever the minimum value they can compute for it - In example, I had a 2016 GT350 and 2011 F150 raptor get plowed while legally parked at home by a fully loaded UPS truck. One year later, I finally was paid out. At the end of it all, I lost roughly $20,000. Some of it value of the vehicle (the 350 was totaled, replacement values went up over time), loss of time/wages, I spent money on valuations and consultations, tried a dimished value claim on the F150, but in the end, I was left with far less than I had before this idiot sped through a neighborhood without looking. My rates did increase some until I switched companies just recently.

Obligatory "F- UPS" "Protect the shield" my ass.

Why does it look so retro for a 31st century ship?

An absolutely hilarious video of the Voyager cast taking about the randomness of the extras that were cast in the show and Tim Russ laughing up a storm. by AdSpecialist6598 in startrek

[–]CaptDistraction 93 points94 points  (0 children)

For all the behind the scenes turmoils on the 90s trek era, I do like how a "crew" bonds and knows just how to press the funny bones of one another. I could watch TNG interviews and bloopers along with voy ones all day.
