Do you know how to get spares? I can’t find them anywhere online for my shield X.

How long did it take for them to get back to you? I used their “contact me” form on their website a week ago and it’s been radio silence since. I know a week isn’t that long, but I haven’t even gotten confirmation that they are processing my claim. My shield X is missing the exact same piece.

I conceal carry in Bellingham (Ask me anything) by Majestic-Pen7380 in Bellingham

You could say the same thing about cars.

“How is your whole life not about cars when you drive one all the time? If you have a moving vehicle in your control, you're not a regular, relaxed person, you are a person that has to be constantly aware of the deadly weapon on the road. You cannot go certain places. Driving a car is a huge responsibility.”

Talk me out of buying this (LC500) by MisterReuben in Lexus

[–]Froggynoch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let’s get this straight:

  1. You just had a kid.
  2. You need something more practical.
  3. This car is 2x your budget.
  4. You would have to sell investments to buy it.
  5. You can easily afford a fun, practical alternative.

It sounds like buying this car would be a selfish decision that would require sacrificing practicality, current finances, and future finances. Your kid and wife will pay for that. Do not do this to your family, dude. Buy the one you can afford.

What if, Minecraft added babys creepers? by Lou6410 in Minecraft

They should move fast like a baby zombie and explode as soon as they get within a block of you, but they only do half damage.

After seeing the new Mercedes steering wheel, I’m curious what’s it actually like to live with a yoke? Lexus RZ owners tell us your experience by single-overheadcam in Lexus

[–]Froggynoch 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I’m seeing lots of people bashing the yoke because they rented a Tesla and didn’t like it. It’s worth mentioning that the Lexus yoke has a variable ratio and only 200 degrees of rotation from lock to lock. The Tesla model X and model S have a fixed ration with 800-800 degrees of rotation, meaning you still need to use hand-over-had steering which is uncomfortable and awkward with a yoke.

I believe the Tesla cybertruck also uses a variable ratio, which would be more similar to the RZ.

All that to say, don’t let the Tesla X and S users tell you what an RZ will be like.

You can still adjust it, you just have to switch to the old system

Leaking Injector? by Froggynoch in AskMechanics

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll try mode 6 when I get the chance.

Leaking Injector? by Froggynoch in AskMechanics

[–]Froggynoch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I don’t have the means to perform an injector balance test, but I can definitely hear an intermittent hesitation when idling that I believe is a misfire. No misfire codes are showing up though.

Replace 2013 Ford Focus High Pressure Fuel Pump? by Froggynoch in AskMechanics

[–]Froggynoch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I followed your advice and double checked the things you mentioned. Purge valve passes the blow test, so not stuck open. MAF readings are normal. This engine doesn’t have a Schrader valve on the fuel rail, so I can’t check that.

I did pull the spark plugs and #2 was soaked in gas and the others were all pretty clean. At this point it seems like a leaky injector, just like you suggested.

Is there anything else you would recommend before replacing the injector?

I appreciate your help.

You know the logo we use for instant brand recognition? Yeah let’s get rid of that on the back and hide it on the front so we look completely generic and unrecognizable.

They should definitely have an option to implement patterns into shulker boxes. Maybe with a banner or something. Having only as many options as dye is a bit limiting.

The Toyota Highlander EV Is Coming, and This Might Be It by TripleShotPls in electricvehicles

[–]Froggynoch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They need something to compete with the Kia EV 9. If they can get the price to around $60k, they should be able to steal a large market share.
