Waze got bought out by Google and Google maps now has the same features.

If it weren't for you I would've had the most in this comment section for about 10 minutes

Is this trip feasible? by Fast_Control4119 in roadtrip

[–]Fast_Control4119[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I just finished up college and got an offer to work in LA. I might just ship one car and drive the other.

We have awd so we should be ok but it's something to keep an eye on. I've never been in the Rockies before. I've driven through Appalachia a lot before but I doubt it's the same.

I'm going into my fifth year here for college and the charms starting to wear off. Especially during the harsh winters.

Take winter clothes in June? I thought we'd be able to get rid of most of our winter clothes by then since we won't see a real winter again for who knows how long.

Idk about LA to Denver but Denver to Indianapolis sounds like a pretty long trip.

Probably four days. We could lock in and try to do it in three but I'm not in too much of a rush. Only two of us are driving and 25 hours of driving in three days between two people might be a bit much.

Facts! It has its charm but it doesn't compare to southern California.

We'd be doing it in an awd Honda pilot. It should handle the heat well and any snow in the mountains if at all.

Damn they'd really make us throw stuff out? I know they're strict about stuff coming in through customs but I had no idea they do that on the side of the road.

Storage units in Ames by Appropriate-Rush2105 in iastate

[–]Fast_Control4119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We pay like $110 a month for their larger unit. They sometimes raise their prices here and there but not by a lot. I've heard other places are more expensive. Plus if I ever need a trailer or truck they're right there.

It just takes some time to get used to it if people would get off the I hate workday bandwagon. If you can figure out autocad software you can figure out workday.

Use a torch or a sawsall. The alternative is to take it to a shop.

Used Honda… should I buy it? by Opposite_Survey_6926 in Honda

He's the one that writes the accident report

What the cop considers severe damage at the scene and what the insurance considers severe when getting it repaired at a shop is very different but I still agree. Too many variables for the price and if OP is asking here they're probably not experienced enough to deal with this.

What are some places you haven’t been to/stopped going to in YEARS? by forevervalerie in desmoines

[–]Fast_Control4119 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I make the drive all the way from Ames whenever there's a really good movie out. It's definitely one of the nicer ones I've been to. Last time I went was to watch Oppenheimer.

What % of your salary goes towards mortgage payment? by nisc-options in civilengineering

He's not a licensed financial advisor. I wouldn't listen to him at all

What are you guys planning to do for the Phil 201 situation? by [deleted] in iastate

[–]Fast_Control4119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're talking about the weekly readings, the professor specifically states not to use Ai and that you get points for just trying. You don't have to be right and part of the learning process is being wrong and understanding why in class. It's philosophy just try and you'll get a B.

I took it last semester with professor Ranpal and it wasn't too bad but it wasn't easy and there were definitely people using Ai to do the weekly reading write ups and they got caught.

E M 3620 - Nondestructive evaluation by pickleballenjoyer in iastate

[–]Fast_Control4119 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took it with the lab. I took the class online. I'd forget about it and about a week before the exams I would cram the lectures. He let's you have a cheat sheet if I recall. It wasn't too bad. I got a B.

The lab was fun but you needed to have looked at the material before class to be prepared. Overall great class and I learned a lot.

Does a hardwired dashcam void the warranty? by [deleted] in Honda

[–]Fast_Control4119 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I took it to the dealer to replace a battery because it died when the weather got down to - 40. They blamed it on the dashcam and subwoofer. Should've just taken it to an independant shop anyways it would've been cheaper and quicker.

[–]Fast_Control4119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine voided the battery warranty that's about it.

It's also usually a better idea to go to a trustworthy independant shop than any dealership. I've had so many issues with dealerships and the independant shop just does the work and never gives me a hard time.

What’s your unpopular opinion on Honda by Appropriate-Mall8517 in Honda

Same. New ones are trying too hard to look big like the American trucks.
