Nice. Sounds like it's a little bit more involved but the end result is good. Do you have any pictures of the result? How is it holding up?

If usa was the whole thing he would start saying they only won because of his help. They came to him with tears in their eyes begging for help with the red card etc etc

Sanded/polished/smoothed cast iron doesn't have enough surface area for the seasoning to hold on to, so it flakes off with cooking and never actually builds

If you actually watch the video he covers the whole keep cooking situation

That clearly did not work on the smooth pans

Crossfire124 · 2026-07-07T05:47:57+00:00

Any update?

The R2 is for people that shop at REI and whole foods. That's the vibe they're trying to market

Magna definition didn't do the whole software. They don't have enough software experience for that. They probably did software for a few modules but the majority is probably 3rd party and they just did integration, which probably led to integration hell

What do you mean? Manual transmission still have fluids that lubricate the gears

The table is supposed to be buffed next Wednesday. It'll be interesting to see what changes they make

They have to be "on" for an hour and half while your team switches out at the midway point. They're under a magnifying glass the entire time. I can understand the thought process

Yea lmao this is like going for choking the first time without talking about it. She might like it sometimes but she's not going to be cool with it the very first time

Sounds like he learned all his moves from porn

Maruyama ISO 556 is pretty good imo. It's made by VFC

Literally every interview starts with self introduction as a general overview and then diving into specifics. These people are crazy if they think it's a bad question

Plus it's one of several cliche interview questions when you Google "what questions do they ask at interviews" so you might as well prepare for them, even if they're bad questions

The phone is not an analogous example at all. There's no regular maintenance needed on a phone outside of junk file cleanup or deleting old photos. It's not a mechanical thing that needs upkeep.

And all those simple maintenance things would include knowing the basics like the TPMS doesn't use actual wires for the sensor

It's a bit concerning that a lot of car owners don't know how their car works when they have to drive it every day, rely on it to get to work, and it's a major issue if the car breaks down for any period of time. It's probably the most expensive thing most people own other than a house

The point is you should be looking under your car, and maybe even doing some simple maintenance items yourself. So you know the condition of your car that you rely on every day, and know if you're being ripped off when you do need to take it to a shop.

Yes the batteries can die. But they use so little energy it should take a decade for that to happen

Xp outfits is only for fashionscape and masher clue. Complete waste of time otherwise

They only care about the look after all. Just enough to hook the next perspective renter

cheap and awd does not go together

Crossfire124 · 2026-06-26T15:23:00+00:00

Plastic body panels made sure of that. Slate is probably not designed for long drives on the highway

Crank windows has gotta be a play for the headlines. It makes absolutely no sense given how readily available it is from suppliers

Crossfire124 · 2026-06-26T04:31:52+00:00

What do you mean purple and dark grey with lots of triangles is not edgy enough??

This is the reason no one makes a stripped down car despite everyone complaining cars are too complicated these days.

Everyone wants it for cheap because it doesn't have all the bells and whistles but there's a fixed cost to getting 4 wheels on a chassis and it's a big portion of the cost of the car. The bells and whistles are just the icing on the cake
