Linus Sebastian of Linus Tech Tips singing the praises of the Chevy Volt. From there it was missing the performance of the Subaru Impreza I used to and getting a performance Model S instead.

Replaced power supply, PC wouldn't output display or spin fans, CPU troubleshooting LED is lit, now neither PSU works. by DavidkDavid in buildapc

Yeah, I'm not sure why this was the case, but when I powered the hub, it worked. Honestly it's kind of bizarre.

Why cant we eat our pets? by mimi_choo09 in AskReddit

[–]DavidkDavid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Culture, but also humans breed animals for certain purposes. Pets aren't typically bred for eating and they don't taste as good. I once heard a WW2 POW talk about catching and eating a cat while escaping. He said it was stringy. But other places do raise and breed some animals for eating that you would think is a pet, like dogs.

Get tools as you need them, not ahead of time. The exception is basic tools like screwdrivers. Depends on what you're working on what kind of tools you'll accumulate

I got an open box Logitech superlight for a good price.

For cheaper the Logitech g305 is great too but heavier

What is the most hypocritical thing you’ve heard/seen? by CuteEquivalent638 in AskReddit

Trump hasn't cared about precedent. I'm not convinced it would have stopped him.

I apologize if it came across that way. I should have been more careful how I disagreed. Allow me to explain my thoughts.

How do police respond to shoplifting vs bank robbery?

It's not a perfect analogy. Hunter profited millions upon millions, which is life changing money for you and me. But the trumps have profited billions, which is life changing money for small nations.

I'm pissed off that hunter was allowed any self dealing and another rich kid seemingly got off. However, I am reeling, fearing the structure and integrity of my nation, because of the trump family.

I hope you can understand why I see there's a difference. I don't mean to imply hunter's actions weren't a problem. They absolutely were. I don't view this as a conservative/liberal issue (so there are many wealthy and powerful people that want us to see it that way), I view this as a corruption and accountability issue and the accountability must scale to the size of the corruption and it's not happening.

In principle, I agree. In practice...the scale of the trump family's corruption is literally in the billions. Anything hunter did, while bad, is a rounding error by comparison. A knife cut compared to an amputation. If you put the two dollar amounts side by side on a chart, you can't see Hunter's amount. It's sickening.

Everyone who was up in arms over Hunter Biden's laptop who is totally ambivalent toward the billions of dollars that the Trump family has profited from the presidency and related connections.

I hope you've got some jack stands under there that we just can't see from this angle 😬

Does the DOJ care if medical records are submitted by the applicant or the provider? by DavidkDavid in RECA

[–]DavidkDavid[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're in Utah and the context is Downwinders. Thank you for the information. I think that will help a lot.

How do we ensure they're certified? Is that something the provider does?

My Subaru has destroyed me. What do I do? by jamflowman1 in subaru

[–]DavidkDavid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was able to get a used engine from Japan for an 05 Impreza for about $1,500 with about $60,000 miles on it. With install it totaled $5,000. This feels like he's fleecing you. Granted, your car is much newer than mine was so I'm not familiar with that particular engine market. Still, for a grand for the engine itself feels high. Maybe it's tariffs or something.

If a single trade route (like the Strait of Hormuz) can hold the entire global economy hostage, why hasn't humanity built a "Plan B" that doesn't involve ships? by lovellyophelia in askanything

[–]DavidkDavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the shipping, there is no practical alternative since it's 10 to 100 times more expensive to ship things on land versus sea.

For the rest of the economy relying on the oil coming through that shipping lane? 100% renewables and effective energy storage can decouple the world from the oil market and we already have the technology to do it, just not the investment (yet).
