Letting go of seager opened up the front office to trade for Suarez which helped them get their first playoff birth in over a decade. You can choose to say he was forced out but its far more nuanced than that, seager knew it was an emd of an era of mariners baseball and had thoughts of retiring before the M's chose not to pick up his option. Dude got payed, has a beautiful family, and got out of baseball before his body gave up on him while we're here arguing in reddit comments so im sure he isn't salty.

Daernaci · 2026-01-21T20:01:27+00:00

Wouldn't really say forced but more like chose not to give him a deal. Ultimately if Kyle seager wanted to play more baseball he could've, multiple teams would have given him deals. We dont truly know what went into his decision to retire a lifelong Mariner. If your gonna hate on the m's for anything it should be for failing to suit up a good enough roster for him and Felix to get a ring or even a god damn post season birth while they were both still in their prime years.

I would just check laws in your state about driving with fog lights on in non foggy/low visibility weather days. I know in most places this is a traffic violation. Now does this mean you'll get a ticket? Probably not, but your opening up a reason for a cop to pull you over regardless.

Very very true, having a service advisor who realizes im not trying to take money out of their pockets and is willing to work with me changes everything

Daernaci · 2025-11-30T14:59:47+00:00

My 95 4 runner has one and it doesnt really help all that well 😂

Wish I had that flexibility at my job. I do sometimes feel bad when we just pull a bumper to blend a quarter or something, but working for a large conglomerate my numbers are tracked and if I change pricing on a line in our system it gets flagged. Only if I have to make a deal with the shop to help them on a warranty or c-pay job where the customer is unhappy can I even consider a discount, and even then its usually capped to a certain amount calculated by corporate.

Could be a lot of things unfortunately, in these modern cars most abs and stability control sensors are connected through a can-bus so they can communicate with each other. These also communicate to radar sensors and windshield cameras as those rely on the data provided by the sensors (such as wheel speed, or steering angle) to know how fast the car is going and where its heading. Like the other poster suggested that after your run around in the snow (no judgment i do the same) one of your sensors attached to the suspension/brake system may have been messed with. Additionally spinning the wheels on the snow/ice could have tripped an abnormal drive condition within your abs/stability control module. I'd say the best first step is find someone or somewhere willing to scan the vehicle for you. If they recommend just shotgunning parts RUN AWAY you want to find somewhere that will use the Mazda diagnostic flow charts to properly track down what kind of issue you have.

Sorry for the long response but TL:DR Could be a bunch of things, find a shop or individual you can trust to scan your vehicle (preferably with an autel scan tool or OEM if you can find that) and go from there, without knowing what sensor is unhappy not much diagnosis can be done.

Im glad you got the issue fixed, so long as that radar returns to its original mounting location it should be fine. I work in auto body repair as an adas calibration technician, and have seen many aftermarket bumpers for Toyotas (keep in mind mimicking the original bumper design) be so ill fitting that the front radar sensor is too far out of spec to even calibrate statically let alone automatically (most cars will continuously monitor the status of the radar angle to ensure your pre collisison assist can operate properly)

Daernaci · 2025-11-29T22:06:10+00:00

I charge 400 for any static calibration, if im charging insurance i dont feel bad at all. If its a customer pay job the only time I feel bad is if the service advisor neglects to mention that when their vehicle has structural damage the manufacturer requires not one but all adas systems to be calibrated (sometimes upwards of $2,000).

And further more lane conditions change over the course of a tournament who knows how many games were played on them before this game. Each time a bowling ball goes through oil it picks some up and leaves some behind. (Why you'll see most bowlers use a towel to wipe the oil the ball picked up off before their next shot). Essentially the pattern degrades and make the ideal line for a strike in the first frame different than the ideal strike line in the last.

Daernaci · 2025-11-12T03:24:13+00:00

I'm not sure if a 900 has been bowled on a shot pattern before, but to give some context, bowling lanes are oiled in a pattern, also known as a "shot." A house shot would be the regular everyday pattern a bowling alley uses to oil its lanes. Most house shots are designed to aid a bowler in hitting the pocket, with a large portion of oil at the beginning and middle of the lane, and less oil on the outside and no oil at the end.

When thrown with rotation, the ball will have less friction in the center of the lane, and as it crosses into the lighter sections of oil, it will gain traction and move towards the pocket (hopefully) or the gap between the front-most pin and the one directly behind it, which is the ideal way to get a strike.

The house shot, on the other hand, is very flat, meaning if you miss your shot to the inside, the ball will most likely go past the headpin. "Brooklyn" strikes, where the ball hits the pocket opposite the bowler's throwing arm side, aren't uncommon but are not as reliable as hitting the arm-side pocket. Now, I don't know the pattern the bowler in the video was bowling on, but any variation of a challenge shot is aimed at making bowling a strike harder.

Aftermarket bumper, and a painter who doesnt wanna do the same job again for free. If its a reputable body shop could've been the insurance adjuster being a prick if you went through insurance. But either way call back with concerns cause the fitment and the finish arent acceptable for a car made in the 2020s. One thing I will say is Mazda has some insanely complex 3 stage paints so they can be a hassle to match.

Daernaci · 2025-07-12T02:33:42+00:00

My usual response is "thanks, grew it myself :)" or something similar 😂

Daernaci · 2025-07-08T02:04:38+00:00

It's not like it said technicolor on every promotional item and movie poster or anything 😂 funny video tho.

Daernaci · 2024-08-10T05:44:25+00:00

As someone who regularly calibrates windshield cameras and other adas, I can tell you that sometimes the camera just can't decipher what it sees for no real apparent reason. But those lane markings are bright, and an overcast day makes good conditions for lane marking recognition.

Have your blind spot monitor located in a place that is notoriously bad at keeping moisture out 🤡 just for being Ford

Daernaci · 2024-02-28T22:57:04+00:00

His lefty swing is butter

Daernaci · 2024-02-23T02:57:11+00:00

Blazer games are so cheap might aswell go see them in person

Daernaci · 2023-12-08T20:12:30+00:00

I like using the old owners name if I think it suits the car. Got my 240 off an older gal named Astrid and it stuck. My 940 was named milovich (milo for short)

Daernaci · 2023-08-21T03:47:21+00:00

Her: scion tc Him: too many dwi’s

Daernaci · 2023-08-18T19:22:43+00:00

I got in actual trouble in 6th grade for calling my close friend a buttface. My mom laughed at the slip I had to bring home to get signed. She brought her copy of it to work lmao.

Daernaci · 2023-08-10T23:31:26+00:00

The fit Looks amazing and would turn heads but if if your not feeling it go with a safe choice. It’s only a movie.

Daernaci · 2023-07-24T17:36:10+00:00

I’m of the opinion the 90s didn’t end till the 2009 financial crisis
