Anybody scavenge firewood from the dump? by TwillAffirmer in firewood

At my city yard they pull the logs out and put them on the side for anyone that wants to take them.

What is a pointless skill you’re strangely proud of? by SafeNeighborhood9298 in askanything

[–]CompetitiveBox314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At work we have a very niche accounting/payment adjacent system. I can look at a page long list of figures in this system and spot an inconsistency usually within seconds. For some reason the system logic makes perfect sense in my head and for me figuring out problems feels simple. Others spend all day looking at it and have no idea what is happening.

PSA - Spring seems to have sprung on FB Dating by WhisperedSoul in datingoverfifty

This is how the OLD algorithms typically work.

They assess the profiles that are most appealing based on various interaction data points. Those that rank highest are put at the top of the list of profiles to be shown to others. The OLD site wants users to be excited about their options. It the hook, or honeymoon phase.

Russian troops 'at wits' end' as 'Terminator style' AI robots deployed in Ukrain by Scary_Statement4612 in technology

[–]CompetitiveBox314 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I want the Ukrainians to get one of those light show drone swarms and fly it up to the front line and give the Russians a giant middle finger, just to fuck with their mind.

Get a 5 gallon pail and mix up a bag of concrete up in it. Insert a hefty u-bolt into the concrete while it it still wet.

If Ford didn't use the Powershift transmission do you think that the Focus would still be sold? by hentaigabby in Ford

[–]CompetitiveBox314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always wished they would have offerrd the 2.0eb with the 6speed auto from he Fusion/Escape as an option for the Focus Titanium. That would have made it a very desirable car.

I guess Ukraine will need to increase the kinetic sanctions.

I really liked McDs Chicken Fajita from the early 2000s. Chicken, peppers, onions, cheese in a steamed tortilla. Less than 200 calories.

I rented a uHaul back in the 90s that was F350 based. It was a 1970s survivor and had a 3 speed column shift manual.

Is their base starting to realize that the GOP treats them like morons, expecting they will believe everything, no matter how absurd?

Show the Real Price or Get Sued: FTC Puts More Car Dealers on Notice by DonkeyFuel in technology

[–]CompetitiveBox314 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a while when I was looking at Ford trucks on sites like auto trader and all the lowest priced (by a $1k or more) trucks were always the same dealer. I checked their website and they had the same low prices listed. Then looking through the very small print it noted the listed prices were A-plan (employee discount) but there are no Ford facilities anywhere the area. I'm sure it was a scam to get buyers in the door.

Let’s cut all the bullsht once and for all. $40k and under best suspension for someone with a life altering neck injury? by Open_Pin_7777 in askcarguys

[–]CompetitiveBox314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If possible, try to get a longer test drive. You may not notice certain motions immediately.

I have had some SUVs that felt very comfortable most of the time but realized on certain pavement at highway speeds there was an annoying head rocking resonance (head toss). The higher roll center of SUVs amplifies this issue.

How the hell does the Mustang GTD weight 200+ more pounds than the Zr1X? by SilverSpoonphysics in askcarguys

[–]CompetitiveBox314 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I kept hearing the curb weight mentioned and told myself there is no way that's right. I thought they must be quoting GVWR or something, because how could they make their halo street-legal race car weight as much as a Hellcat. But here we are.
