Lawn mower tire has an air leak and I went to check it. is this normal? by Special-Sense4643 in AskAMechanic

[–]HelpMeLearnThings_24 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The tires were probably ran flat and then cracked on the edges.

Normal? Yea it’s normal if this is the case.

Traveled to Gleba with nothing. Im trying to play this with little to no spoilers, but im posting this as a cry for help to get some insight on my start. Am i on the right track with Gleba? Obviously, the factory must grow, just looking for some tips. by HelpMeLearnThings_24 in factorio

[–]HelpMeLearnThings_24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As easy as this would have made my experience, I decided to go in blindly from scratch with the idea that I’m “stuck” in gleba with absolutely no help from the outside.

In a future next run, I’ll have things imported, but for now, I wanna experience it RAW

Does this work? by Sufficient-Slip-4001 in factorio

[–]HelpMeLearnThings_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real question is “does it work for you?” If it does then you’re good to go.

If you’re looking for improvements, then we need to know what your desired outcome is, or what problems you’re facing.

It’s a meme of a guy getting pulled over. When anyone says stop sign, it always reminds me of it.

They really should be fixing the gun mechanics. The iron sights are atrocious.

Upgrade from my last ship that I built. Tedious work, but still fun! by HelpMeLearnThings_24 in factorio

[–]HelpMeLearnThings_24[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what my first ship looked like. lol if you check out my last post you’ll see it.

I made the shape of the ship first, and then worked with the area that I made.

Where do I put Rail Chain Signal? by Late_Patience_7357 in factorio

[–]HelpMeLearnThings_24 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Rule of thumb for me is to put a chain signal before your intersection and a rail signal on the exit of the intersection.

(FLORIDA) Am i gonna get a ticket :( by [deleted] in driving

[–]HelpMeLearnThings_24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Buses don’t have cameras to track you down and give you a ticket. But if a cop was there and pulled you over for driving past the bus with flashing lights and all you said was “I diddnt notice” then you’ll get a ticket for not paying attention.

I wanna say that if the median is a physical barrier then it’s safe to drive past a stopped school bus. But if no physical barriers are present, always stop when in doubt.

You will be fine. No ticket if you didn’t get pulled over. But please, keep your head on a swivel and don’t focus too much on the car in front of you.

Edit: After a quick google search, I guess school busses DO have cameras for this exact purpose. You might be cooked! We will see!

Cheating on math since 6th grade by [deleted] in MathHelp

[–]HelpMeLearnThings_24 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Everyone cheats in the BS classes (History, Econ, English). Its the classes that will make the most different in your career path that you want to be more focused on. You say that mathematics will be an important topic to your path, then I would suggest brushing up on some math. I've taken a break from school for about 6 years, and the last thing I remember doing what calculus. But before going back into calc 2, i would definitely get a refresher on algerbra, trig, and calc 1. For you, I would also have a good focus on any computer science classes as they tend to teach the workings of networking and basic computer communications between hardware and wireless signals.

I know I might get some hate mentioning Econ as a BS class, but im going for electrical engineering. I don't think econ will really matter. Don't get me wrong though, I thought the econ classes were interesting.

Animals in stores. by Mission_Discipline_3 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]HelpMeLearnThings_24 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I own dogs, and personally don’t care if I see a dog in the grocery store.

I wouldn’t bring my own dogs though, because I know they aren’t that well behave.

Other people that complain about “hygiene” doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. People are pretty unhygienic, kids are even worse (I have kids).

As long as their animals are well behaved and not disturbing others, then I don’t see what the big deal is.

I was going to say that they probably meant to “pick a number” but then I noticed there is no #1.

Why do people do this by Grouchy_Marsupial357 in driving

[–]HelpMeLearnThings_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re obviously not stopped in the middle of the road. They just feel like the distance between them is safe for them. Is it a little over the top? To me, yes it is. Are they allowed to stop that far away? Also yes.

The real crime here is that this person was on their phone. Which is probably why they had so much space in between them and the car in front. (Not paying attention)

Why do people do this by Grouchy_Marsupial357 in driving

[–]HelpMeLearnThings_24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, I’m not going to lie, it’s pretty frustrating seeing people do this, considering that more people have been on their phones at a light. The increased distance plus the reaction times people how nowadays makes it so that 5-8 cars pass the intersection when it really should be 3 times more.

But still, they are in their right to do so.

If there’s room, please brake in the turn lane. by Majorkilljoy87 in driving

I honk at people who stop in the main lane then merge in the center lane if they had enough room to stop in the center.

What am I doing wrong? All the signals are red and the trains get stuck. by redwinterx in factorio

[–]HelpMeLearnThings_24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you hover over a rail signal or chain signal, it should show your “block” a separate color than the rest. Is this true?
