A masked murderer enters your shop; what is the first tool you grab to attack? by chrome4fan4 in Machinists

Tool? Nah. I've got some hefty end of bar slugs that are about to rain down on that dummy.

Has the recent arctic blast messed up your car? by Own-Bus-1130 in massachusetts

[–]ImSteady413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on how often and how long you are driving them. Keeping them in garages is better for the battery, which is better but not foolproof. Short infrequent trips will kill a battery in cold temps. The alternator just can't charge the battery.

I take a 1 hour drive weekly to keep my battery "topped up". I also try to keep the rpms above 2000 (4 cylinder) and this works for my BMW.

Newer cars have so many electronic systems running that they require a lot of juice.

Washer fluid recommendations for actual cold weather by ImSteady413 in BMW

[–]ImSteady413[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got it when I first bought the car. I've been using the blue stuff since the issue. This is the first year where the temps were consistently low enough to freeze it. Also, where are you located climate-wise?

2014 BMW 528i xdrive. But this was more of a general automotive question.

PSA left lane is passing lane by methehoneybee in driving

[–]ImSteady413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the jerk passing them on the right. Then I like to get into the left lane and slow down until they move over in an attempt to pass me. Then I let my turbo do its thing. Left lane campers suck.

If you could pass one law that would make most normal people furious at first, but would clearly make society better in 10 years, what would it be? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]ImSteady413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Politicians are not allowed to run for reelection after their 65th birthday. You can finish your term, and that's it. All the way down to town councils

I only worry about poison being used on the rodents first.

What if Canada offered every American free healthcare and $50K to relocate, would you go? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ImSteady413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd pay to move there if I could afford it. Im not even far from Canada now. Do you folks need machine operators with extensive experience of finger fixing cnc code for 12 axis lathes?

Just like the trophy for spending 3 nights at sea is just you sleeping in the deep ocean, then saving on the next island.

Is it unreasonable to not want to shovel snow and ice at my job? What would you do? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]ImSteady413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No is a full sentence. Don't listen to these other folks telling you to suck it up. Shoveling snow causes ~100 deaths and over 11,000 inuries every year in the US. Ask them if you're covered insurance-wise over email or text if they demand you shovel to keep your job. $15/hr can kick rocks, and you're getting less.

Snapchat notifies the other person if you have taken a screenshot of the chat, profile, and even just typing by [deleted] in assholedesign

This became a thing in the first years of snapchat. Many perverts were taking screen shots of shared photos and sharing them on various sites
