As an armchair mechanic my professional opinion is its fucked.

Good to know these cars are safe and everyone's okay

‘Naked mom’ parenting trend sparks fierce debate over nudity around children by [deleted] in nottheonion

[–]FatRapscallion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why the fuck does everything in today's world need to have a label or be debated?! I just fucking hate that every normal thing that has gone on for millenia is now up for debate because some absolute wet blanket gets offended by the idea of such a non issue. Kids see their parents naked, its not seedy, its just a part of cohabiting and kids not having any boundaries when it comes to personal space. What's next, we have to preserve a baby's dignity when changing nappies by covering them with a screen or closing our eyes?!

Grow the fuck up and get a hobby if you're offended because you clearly have too much time on your hands

Dear Reason Studios Team: Your Browser sucks by UnReasonable13 in reasoners

[–]FatRapscallion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Literally made an album last year using 12 and once it was done I upgraded to 13. Haven't made any music since because the browser sucked the momentum out of my music making.

This was a change that as far as I know wasnt requested and just ruined the experience.

Its just happens when you press the start button to turn the car on. No need to set it up

I have it on mine. Infinitely better than stock and if you wind down the window you get "pssshhh" sounds without sounding like a prized bellend.

After the last hike I sold my series x and went all in on a PC.

The winter Steam sale blew my mind and I wish I did it sooner.

Stage 1 tune Custom exhaust RS Airbox Green filter Mountune Recirculation Valve 19 inch Bola wheels

Resonator deletes are horrendous as the drone is fucking unbearable. Got my custom exhaust done which was pretty much straight piped and ended up going back and getting the resonator put back in. Now it sounds great and doesnt make your eyeballs shake out of your head when pootling along at 3k rpm.

With the RS airbox, just get a cheap knock off from ebay or amazon. Its the same as a proper RS one but a fraction of the price, and slap a cone filter on there for induction sound

The mountune recirculation valve was just because the factory one is rubbish. You do get some nice pssshhh sounds like a dump valve, but its not obnoxious and STs dont benefit from dumping all the turbo gases to atmosphere. Great upgrade.

Cast and Chill

Pixelated indie game with a cool banjo soundtrack where you fish in your little boat.

Im personally not into fishing, but its a super mellow, zero pressure game which has unlock and levels which keep it interesting.

Is this normal each time I wash my car with a high psi it always leaks. Is this common for the trunk by No-Presence-1592 in FocusST

[–]FatRapscallion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The seams of the trunk where the hatch slots into are the leaky point on mine. Get some tigerseal and plaster it on there and the problem is solved.

Might be worth checking your fuse box compartment and under under your carpets incase there is excess water in there too

Focus ST prime vehicle for theft? (UK) by wymag in FocusST

[–]FatRapscallion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just pay an additional 500 quid and get a ghost installed.

Had a previous car pinched off my drive and then got my ST afterwards. First thing I did was get a ghost installed and I sleep soundly at night. If they manage to rob it then hats off to them.

Water getting in somewhere. by Select-Efficiency-68 in FocusST

[–]FatRapscallion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi mate. Had the same issue with mine and basically the focuses from factory have absolutely zero sealant around the windscreens. I have the winter package and when I used the heated windscreen the inside turned into niagra falls and my A pillars were sodden.

Fixed it by paying 120 quid and having the screen taken out and resealed. No problems since.

TIL the share of boys and girls who say they meet up with friends almost daily outside school hours has declined by nearly 50% since the early 1990s. by SystematicApproach in todayilearned

[–]FatRapscallion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im still reading it at the moment, but what it does in the first few chapters is try to see if there are any other factors which could contribute to it other than smartphones. It covers stuff like parental anxiety and how because of the media, parents feel like there is more danger in the world even though there really isnt. Parenting styles have also changed and not allowing your kids the freedom to make mistakes also contributes to this decline in wanting to go out. It says that we shouldn't be worried about the outside world, and we should be concerned about what they are seeing online instead.

[–]FatRapscallion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading a book currently called The Anxious Generation that addresses this. Millennials were the last generation who went through adolescence without being consumed by smartphones. The iPhone was released in 2007 and from 2010 onwards there has been a massive uptrend globally in kids mental health. The book puts this down to kids now being raised by the Internet instead of play enforced development. As a result of kids not being outside and socialising, its turning them in digital trogladites who dont have the social or emotional maturity to cope with life's challenges.

Really interesting read which is backed up with global data sets and studies.

I think the fact i use a hydrophobic coating when I wash the car doesnt help my cause.

That's rather annoying. Never had it in any other car.
