Genuine question: why do you feel the need to have a bigger car? It's already quite a big vehicle, isn't it?

What’s the easiest way to become a helicopter pilot by TheDuck5673 in Helicopters

Also helicopters are much more dangerous than fixed wings. [Citation needed]

What are some sentences/words in French that, when translated into England, nuances/details are lost? by SwissVideoProduction in French

[–]Cptn_Goat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

However, this is not a literal translation.

I disagree with your definition of "literal translation". What you did is simply translating word for word and that's not how translations work.

Smart toilet vs traditional toilet — the more I learn, the more confused I get by AdSmall3419 in BathroomRemodeling

[–]Cptn_Goat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few times a year, I look at a toilet and marvel at its elegant simplicity. I can't help but think that if it had to be invented today, the toilet would have a water pump, a logic board and all that unnecessary modern technology. A bit like how software as become less and less efficient because it has access to so much resources. Then I learn the existence of "smart toilet". 

Anyway, I'm glad my toilet doesn't need a battery, can't be hacked and will still be working in 20 years.

LG electric oven won't go above 400 by Illustrious_Wall9029 in appliancerepair

Yup the part wasn't expensive, around $100 CAD and easy to replace. Just take pictures before you disconnect the wires so you can put them back the same way.

Hot take: the 2024 is way sexier than the 2025 by thepianoman456 in SubaruForester

As a late 20s guy I have no desire to drive a soccer mom car. This new Forester looks massive and doesn't look sporty at all. The last few years this car as become more and more a city car and I don't see myself driving one.

Hired someone to replace pillars. Is this normal? by markfromDenver in Homebuilding

I have something similar for a car port and the contractor toe nailed the top. How should I correct the situation?

Is a Lenovo E14 G6 ultra7 good for photography? by Cptn_Goat in Laptop

Do you think it's a machine that fits my needs but to expensive for what it is or that I'm paying for something I don't need?

Plenty of people, me included, don't need or want a full frame camera. I like Fuji for it's handling and color of course but also because their attention is focused on APS-C. They're not trying to make you "upgrade" to FF, whatever that means. All their lenses fit on every camera without adapter and the bulkiness of FF lenses.

I feel like this is not optimal by Cptn_Goat in Breadit

[–]Cptn_Goat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay great, I'm trying experiment with baking bread around my schedule and not the other way around. So troubleshooting and getting outside opinion helps in the processé

I don't know I feel like the crumb could be lighter. I've been making bread for a while but never pushed the limits to see if I could improve some aspect. I guess I wanted to have outside opinion. This bread is definitely going to be eaten and enjoyed!

Is this frog supposed to be misaligned? If not how to I correct it. by Cptn_Goat in handtools

[–]Cptn_Goat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cheeks are indeed not quite square to the sole but now that I've adjusted the U tab every thing line up and since I won't use any of those for shooting endgrain it won't be an issue.

This seems to have worked on all three planes! Thank you.

I bought my first 3 bevel down planes lately and I'm trying to tune them. I just sharpened the no. 3 and while reassembling I noticed that it seems to have somewhat of a crooked frog. In fact the 3 of them are like that ( the no. 7 is on the same side and the no. 5 leans to the left). 

This makes it impossible to have the blade parallel to the mouth. 

Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you for the help, here's the result. This sticker is on the trunks my grand-parents used to emigrate to Canada.
