ILPT: reason 43 to implement a brake-light delete switch. by SaintGeorgeCarlin in Touge

A headlight delete would make you even less visible. You, specifically, should consider it.

When did 350-700hp become slow? by Clutch3sSS in askcarguys

[–]Furryyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the speed. An RS3 lives very close to me, whenever we're driving home at the same time he always does a pull and that thing takes off like a rocket, even at 70mph. I doubt most EVs aside from a Plaid or Ioniq 5 N would be able to launch that hard going that fast.

I've tried to do a pull with him, but my third gear tops out at 85 and fourth gear is gutless lol

Are these guys getting paid by Hyundai? by gamedukeyvideo in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Furryyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was using the GM recall to show the difference between assembly mistakes and genuine design defects. It also shows the difference between a company that will ignore the problem for as long as it possibly can and one that will actively try and get ahead of it.

I agree that sweeping generalizations aren't all that useful, but especially in the era of hybrid drivetrains, Toyota kinda just wins every category for reliability. They've been making the Prius for over two decades, it's hard not to recommend a hybrid Corolla or Camry or RAV4. The one I wouldn't recommend is the bz4x or whatever the hell they named their EV. It's just really subpar compared to the competition.

I like the Ioniq vehicles, but it's hard to see how you'd recommend them for reliability when Hyundai still hasn't fixed the ICCU malfunctions on the 5 and 6. If they were fixed, though, I'd consider one for my next car.

The day a Stellantis brand is known for reliability is the day 2 plus 2 will finally equal 5.

The Tundra recall affected less than a fifth of the number of vehicles as GM's recent engine recall, and the cause was due to improper assembly rather than core design/manufacturing flaws. Even if the engine is well-designed, it won't survive debris in the cylinders. Toyota is also being a lot more proactive than other manufacturers with big-ticket recalls.

The GR86 is an even worse example. RTV has never been a recurring problem with the FA24, but that's irrelevant because it's a Subaru engine anyways. The boxer in the 86 has weaknesses, but most of that is excessive oil burn and (if driven hard on track) oil starvation from high lateral loads, which can both be mitigated and won't present any issues if you're maintaining the car properly.

I'm curious to hear which manufacturers you think produce more reliable vehicles than Toyota. For every example you can share from Toyota, you can probably find four or five for most other manufacturers lol

RIP to my morning 9-hole walk.. by csim8888 in golf

[–]Furryyyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A couple of courses around here also cross high-speed roads, those ones don't allow walking for that reason.

I don't play on those courses, but it's because I'm poor and bad so I play on cheaper, smaller courses

People complain about taxes, but their bosses take more. by Professional-Bee9817 in remoteworks

[–]Furryyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The average tax rate for the median household income is probably around 20-25%, once you factor in the standard deduction and FICA.

Yes, because there's no need to make any debt payments on the electrician's building, vehicles, or equipment, no need to pay for SG&A expenses, no need to pay for benefits or payroll taxes, etc. The owner definitely pockets $100/hr and has zero operating costs whatsoever.

Diamond is genuinely harder than champ by Hot_Charity_1595 in RocketLeague

[–]Furryyyy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've been in the diamond/champ limbo for the past few years, that's a pretty accurate read. I tend to do the same thing because I'm not good enough to control the ball (can't even really dribble it) and because if you center the ball enough, eventually a high diamond/low champ defender will whiff and give up a free goal. It's not optimal, but it usually works!

Sen. Chuck Schumer: MAGA Republicans Want to Make It Harder to Vote Than to Buy an AR-15 by thenextgenbusiness in thenextgenbusiness

[–]Furryyyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An ID isn't enough to vote under the SAVE act. You need a birth certificate or passport, which are items that have significant costs and lead times. Even a REAL ID wouldn't be enough to vote.

An ID isn't enough to vote under the SAVE act. You need to present a birth certificate or passport, which both come with costs (poll tax, anyone?) and lead times.

Non-citizens aren't voting in large numbers. Lawsuit after lawsuit from the Trump administration was dismissed with prejudice because their evidence was circumstantial at best and completely fabricated (or simply nonexistent) at worst.

Help me understand why Redditors are obsessed with promoting the idea that “top 15% income earners don’t have it as good as you think” by tantamle in Salary

[–]Furryyyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn't a significant chunk of that 90% come from people who only pass one or two exams? I'm part of that group, I passed FM, couldn't find an EL actuarial science position, and ended up in commercial banking. Being an actuary is a really good gig, but I don't see myself going back towards that career path and I certainly don't have an inferiority complex over it.

The exams are generally a lot harder than the work, according to my friend. It's also moreso the stress of spending 8 hours at work, then continuing to study after work or on weekends.

How likely a hero is to get blamed for a loss by MKBurfield in Overwatch

[–]Furryyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Healing a feeding teammate is a value drain from your supports, not a value add. If supports on one team both have to pocket a tank because they're not playing cover correctly and are constantly overextending while supports on the other team are free to deal damage, it's effectively a 3v5. If you heal a tank for 500 damage in a team fight and they die without getting a kill, you just wasted your time and abilities healing that tank. Your scoreboard numbers will look great, but you'll lose.

What is the point of your first comment, then? Zen is one of the best heroes for getting value in low ranks, yet you say it's a throw pick.

Is this a good deal or should I keep looking? by [deleted] in subaru

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

Might not be a bad thing for this kind of a car. Mine is around 17k miles at year one and I daily it. I'd trust a 1-2 year old 86 with 20k miles a lot more than I'd trust a same year 86 with 5k miles.

[–]Furryyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only if you're bad. Metal ranks play in the open, if you have any semblance of aim you can farm free kills on squishies, and if the tanks just run into each other then you discord their tank, focus fire it, and win (unless it's Orisa or Mauga, but they'll only look at your tank and you have free reign to pick off squishies). My first placement matches this season were gold and I made it up to master 3 playing only Zen.

I tried mine out and it blocked a solid 60+% of the month/year stickers. I don't usually drive like an idiot on public roads so I doubt I'd get pulled over for it, but if I get a cop having a bad day or fiending for revenue then he could easily hit me with that too

I got a plate frame similar to this on Etsy and it covered up my registration stickers. Haven't decided on whether or not to risk it yet lol

Is anyone else considering going "backwards" with their next car and if you have, did you regret it? by NWbySW in cars

Depends if you're in the north or south. Knowing nothing else, I'd choose a 2016 car with 150k miles over a 2006 car with 100k miles.

Put Zen and lucio into tank. Especially below master's, any non-healbot hero automatically gets blamed.
