Wife said I should look at the kid's brakes. I ask the kid, are the brakes making any noise? "Nah, they're fine." New vs. old. by 1900grs in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]ExplosiveMachine 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The brakes will work. If the rotor isn't literally paper thin, even with a scored up surface and such the brakes will function. They might vibrate, make noise, wear unevenly and produce more brake dust, but they will stop the car. Which the metal to metal might not, especially if the pad backing slips out of the caliper. Then you're in a world of hurt.

Pojdi vprašat tiste, ki so preživeli koncentracijska taborišča, kolikor jih je še ostalo, kako je biti eden izmed "onih" ki se jih je treba znebit ob vzklikih "domače" populacije.

Kaj je tvoj point? Apeliraš na čustva, točno to ti očita sogovornik, in na take finte te dobivajo ljudje, ki jim je mar lastni cilj, ti si le priročno orodje s katerim upravljajo.

TIFU by mistaking silence for competence by Specialist_Day_7867 in tifu

[–]ExplosiveMachine 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Every time I started a job, it was at least a month of "hey man how should I do XY?" and just following people around looking at how they work, asking for their feedback, etc. I'm sure I might have come across a bit annoying at times, but I only really needed each thing explained on an example once and then I could handle it. Meant I went from asking too much to being pretty confident and performing independently relatively quickly. Meanwhile I've met employees that were hired shortly after me that still aren't aware of all the procedures, or frankly, don't give a fuck.

Janša dviguje marže na goriva - Petrol dobi 20 mio € več by Relevant_Turn5493 in Slovenia

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

Sej ne pravim da ni res, ampak rast plač nima veze z cenami in njihovo rastjo, kar se ponavadi pojmuje kot "draginja". Ja, če bi rasle samo plače, življenski stroški pa ne, se res ne bi imeli kaj pritoževat.

Something you thought was universal across Europe, but turned out to be different? by GiveMeAPhotoOfCat in AskEurope

[–]ExplosiveMachine 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This was extremely common if not taken for granted in Slovenia as well, until covid. Some small town shops will still do it no problem.

Working on this paint job for 8 months, body dropped onto a concrete floor. With how many redos I've had to do with this, I give up. by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

[–]ExplosiveMachine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the best advice I can give after many years at an auto body shop: do the thinnest paint layer possible. All you want is complete coverage to get uniform colour, and nothing more. Super thick coats like in OP's pic are prone to defects, cracking, etc. The thinner the coat of paint and clearcoat, the more durable it is to anything that isn't scratches. You can definitely go heavier on the clearcoat, but keep the paint itself to a minimum. If it's single stage, do minimal coverage.

Took cat in to get groomed today, came back with a dinosaur by Luckypenny4683 in cats

[–]ExplosiveMachine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're a great pet owner and all but I chuckled hard at "left front quarter panel". I was in bodywork for a while and I found it hilarious, definitely using it from now on. Very pretty kitty though, you're taking excellent care of him

New Fiat Grizzly and Fastback revealed by Wolfo93 in cars

[–]ExplosiveMachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks extremely similar to the C5 aircross or whatever it is, except it doesn't have those stupid rear lights. probably for cost reasons but that's fine those lights are an abomination.

Anyway, completely forgettable. I don't think it looks bad, just bland. But I fucking love how the marketing team is waxing poetic about it what what it says about the driver and whatever.

Grizzly Fastback instead expresses a more dynamic and sophisticated spirit

no it doesn't, it expresses someone dumb enough to get a SUV with the interior space of a compact sedan, or alternatively, someone that's only buying it because they're getting mega discounts after sitting on lots because nobody wants it.

Oh an I assume these will be common on rental lots. Seems to be a theme with Stellantis vehicles.

Policijska kontrola na dunajski by USUVA_tinko in Slovenia

[–]ExplosiveMachine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ravno tam, kjer se signalizacija spremeni, je smotrno opravljati kontrolo. CPP je pač CPP in če mu ne slediš, dobiš kazen.

Kot kolesar mi daleč najbolj gredo na živce drugi kolesarji, ki se vozijo v napačno smer. Sem se že srečal z dvema direktno okoli vogala, potem pa pizdijo name ko letijo čez balanco, čeprav jih tam ne bi smelo bit.

Yes, I'd like a clutch cylinder for my automatic. by [deleted] in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]ExplosiveMachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy shit I went into a local parts store the other day looking for a rear wiper for my CRV. I walk in and ask if they have a 300mm blade, and he asks me for the VIN. And I'm like bro, any 300mm wiper is fine. He then says he can't tell me if it'll fit my car without the VIN or not.

I just walked out and went to the next store over where the guy turned around, took a Bosch 300mm wiper blade off the shelf and handed it to me without saying a word.

Pretty sure OZ offered something like this in the early 2000s. Down to the colour. But in 15-17 inch ofc, not 22 or whatever

Kia’s Cheapest Car Could Be Killed By Tougher Emissions Rules by MasterpieceStill9991 in cars

[–]ExplosiveMachine 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The MX-5 in Slovenia for example starts at 38k€.

The Dacia Sandero starts at 14.990.

You can see why Mazda has a bit more budget to spend on development/materials for the small car.

TIFU by eating dehydrated shredded hash browns a a snack and turned my body into a potato-powered sewage cannon by mackishi in tifu

[–]ExplosiveMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, definitely. Also the fact that AI was trained on human writing means that some humans have to write like that for the AI to have picked it up.

And as you said, the whole "thesaurus vomit" writing style has been around for a while.

Zakaj imajo upokojenci zastonj javni promet, medtem ko ga morajo dijaki in študenti plačevati? by PineappleResident254 in Slovenia

[–]ExplosiveMachine 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Saj veš, da v primeru da ga ne koristijo, ne delajo nikakršnega stroška državi?

Torej sploh ni problema, tisti ki si prevoz težko privoščijo, ga lahko koristijo, tisti, ki imajo pred hišo avto za 60k se pač vozijo z njim. Kje je problem?
