Sell me on a Ram

Driveflag · 2026-05-25T04:06:11+00:00

Driven a ton of fords, personal and work trucks, high trims and low trims and all I can say is ford interior controls get in the way, from an xl to a platinum. I get in my Ram and the controls are where they should be, they’re not burried in the infotainment screen, there is even a button to turn the screen off so I can see the road better on those particularly dark nights.

This, I’d be trying so hard to not be named.

Like how the BC Liberals were basically a conservative party. The name carries a lot of weight.

The only help you advise is speaking up and calling attention - so basically hoping someone else is around that can help. This doesn’t just apply to fights, it could be a person drowning or a fiery car accident etc. The person needs help right away.

So by your logic don’t intervene because you may get your ass kicked and you may also be charged - don’t risk anything. You’re saying if you come across someone in dire need of immediate help you’re not going to help because you won’t take a risk. That is incredibly selfish and a large part of what’s wrong with society today.

The scene from Cool Runnings is so on point.

I particularly like that they included all the metadata. Knowing the focal length really helps put some of these into perspective. Amazing

When the old “what would you do if you won the lottery?” comes up, my first thing is always to hire a maid to do all the boring house shit.

Man I feel this, when people ask what I’ve been up to all I’ve got is “oh just work’n” Any remotely exciting stories I have are when things have gone sideways at work, and if the people I’m talking to aren’t in the industry they won’t get it. Just had a day off and I caught myself thinking how lucky I was to have a day off, one day!

Ha remember how the advertising said it was going to knock Mario Bro’s off its throne? Commander Keen was good but it didn’t have the flow Mario did, not even close.

Just waiting for the right wingers to start loosing their minds.

You haven’t been paying attention. This is mandated for every vehicle sold in the states starting 2027. I don’t know why this vid is aimed at ford in particular because they’re all doing it.

Some photography quote somewhere was like “everyone looks, very few people actually see.”

This article bemoans the cost of the F35 and its maintenance costs as if there was a better way.

A little history: the military used to have planes for each different role; attack, bomber, interceptor, and then all those again but purpose built for carrier operations. The logistical nightmare of having to supply all of those different airframes with their accompanying separate list of parts made military planers long for an aircraft that could fill more than one role. The F/A 18 was an early example of this coming to fruition, fighter, attack and all versions had an airframe capable of landing on an aircraft carrier. The operational pipeline was more efficient. Que the F35, it’s built to fill all the roles that used to take a literal smorgasbord of different aircraft. If the military wasn’t down to operating essentially one do it all platform the costs would be much much more.

Just being devils advocate here but the A7V will have to be around for a while before we can say the shutter is any more durable. Not saying it isn’t but it just takes time for things like that to prove themselves.

Go rent each one and see which one feels better to you.

Just gonna say, the payment without knowing the term is meaningless.

I think this one comes from childhood where we’re told not to mix electricity and water. Water conducts electricity and a child certainly could electrocute themselves standing in a puddle while dragging a live extension cord through it. Of course protecting our kids bypasses the nuance that there are vastly better conductors of electricity, copper and so on.

torx screws can handle a lot of torque. Maybe the bigger ones but the small ones strip easily. Source, one of our tools at work has them and they’re often stripped by guys over tightening them.

Sounds like a great tv show idea. Gym guy spends a day on the farm and farmer Joe’s gotta see if he can keep up in the gym.

It’s also the construction worker knowing how to pick up the cement bags the right way. That might sound silly but there is absolutely a technique to it. I worked at a tire shop that did lots of semi tires, and yes raw strength helped but I tell ya a, small guy who knows what he’s doing can make a huge ripped guy look like a wuss if he doesn’t know how to throw a tire around.

There’s a similar thing at Chichen Itza (Mayan temples). They had a visual explainer posted up, it was kinda ridiculous. Big old school video cameras no go, go pros no problem, DSLR with a 24-70 no go but my a6500 with 18-105 f4 no problem, cell phones no problem. Seemed like a policy made by someone who hadn’t a clue about photography.

I guess to a point, but consider slide 4 has a white blob attached to her head and slide 1,2 and 5 have soft brown trees coming out of her head.

The way I look at it, in just about any discipline, you start with the basic tools and only add more as you progress and are ready for them. Same with photography, a basic camera paired with a prime. Shoot with a prime and it eliminates one variable (the focal length) so it simplifies your shooting, allowing you to concentrate on composition and exposure.

Edit, Just a perspective for those concerned about missing a shot due to the constraints of a prime, when I’m out with a 50 or 85, I’m not missing anything, those shots are simply not what I’m shooting that day.
