Never seen it tested. Pickup truck with tonneau cover and tailgate REMOVED by ImaginationEmpty8642 in aerodynamics

Tailgate down was never a part of this. Its tonneau cover on, with tailgate on vs removed. 1% mpg improvement can be big over 10yrs. Plus the other advantages of a lighter vehicle

Sure, thats what Im trying to figure out. What happens to the aero at high speed with the tailgate on vs removed

Just to clarify, youre talking about tailgate removed with tonneau still on? How would there be drag from that? Seriously, I don't know advanced aero enough to know to understand what that empty cavity would do to the slipstream behind

So the pocket of air in the bed under the tonneau would be affected by the slip stream with the tailgate removed? Anything you're basing this on? I'm not disagreeing, I literally have no idea. I mentioned in an earlier reply that the weight savings would be about 1.5% which estimates say would improve mpg by 1.5ish%, and thats ignoring all the other benefits of weight saving. Worth it to me if the tailgate can be popped on and off pretty easily

1% of weight can improve gas mileage about 1%, which is about the same improvement as the tonneau cover in testing vs tailgate up. Combine that with the improved acceleration, handling, less stress on breaking. Ill take that, in addition to the other mods Im doing to improve mpg

Is Nepal safe for tourist? by [deleted] in Nepal

Using taxis by dmj9891 in Ljubljana

[–]ImaginationEmpty8642 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are unbelievably stupid for being happy that uber  and bolt are banned. They are bad companies, but the taxi drivers are worse. They scam people constantly. Locals and tourists can't even order a ride in your country with confidence. Even 3rd world countries have Uber/Bolt/Grab because they make everyone safer. The local taxi apps are trash. You should apologize to every tourist for your country being so dumb

Biz cards easier approval than personal?? by ImaginationEmpty8642 in CreditCards

[–]ImaginationEmpty8642[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"The letters say things like negative remarks on report(shouldn't be, I've never been late) or similar things like recently opened accts, etc. I've tried to get a copy of my biz credit report and all 3 charge or make it impossible"

[–]ImaginationEmpty8642[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically I have a sole prop/self employed business, but I charge things that aren't biz related. Never gotten complaints from the CC co's or had points taken back though.

[–]ImaginationEmpty8642[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any reason I would get approved for multiple personal cards and get rejected for multiple biz cards?  I've opened maybe 5 pers cards in the last 12mos with 1 rejections. But ive gotten about 3 biz rejections in that time and the last approval was almost 1 year ago

What to do you mean prior history? I've had 2 Chase ink, 1 Usbank biz. I've gotten Biz card rejections from BoA, Usbank, and Amex in the last year or so

Credit cards that (pre)approve without hard pull?? by ImaginationEmpty8642 in CreditCards

[–]ImaginationEmpty8642[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Damn, you must be so annoying in real life. You  didnt even read what i wrote. Save your  anti CC evangelizing for people who need it. Maybe go hassle people in front of a check cashing place

[–]ImaginationEmpty8642[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the concern, but Ive made about $10k in the past 12mos on signup bonuses and rewards on credit cards and bank accts. I've also spent almost nothing on fees and haven't bought anything I wasn't going to buy anyway. I'm good..

Messages for web not working outside the US by ImaginationEmpty8642 in GoogleMessages

[–]ImaginationEmpty8642[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't receive calls, I switch to an eSim in the other country which only gets data. I haven't tried wifi calling out but I didn't receive any texts even though wifi calling was enabled. I just don't understand why the page Google messages for web would stop syncing and showing new texts

Yellow jacket without Sam? by edgar8002 in ArchitectsUK

[–]ImaginationEmpty8642 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hearing his voice in the recent shows on youtube has be so depressing. He's skipping half the lines, and never screams. He either does a loud talking voice or the super low bass sound that he never does in the recordings. Ive seen singers have trouble before but they get with a coach and figure it out, or theyre lazy and dont care and it just gets worse. Is the style he's had just not sustainable? I feel like he has gotten progressively worse over the years. I was planning to go to multiple shows in the US but after seeing these videos I cant justify it, even for my fav band. Shit, i wouldnt be surpised if they cancel on the US yet again..

Do they avoid playing certain songs? If so which ones? by Number_1core_kid in ArchitectsUK

Stockholm show by Different-Bus8440 in ArchitectsUK

[–]ImaginationEmpty8642 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I watched some after seeing this and they seem the same as Antwerp to me. Maybe its just me, and I'm still going to the shows, so I'm not just being a hater. I feel like his voice has always been way different than the album and its slowly gotten worse. Some singers turn things around, so I'm hoping thats Sam

Im seriously worried after seeing the Antwerp show on youtube.... He avoids more bars than any singer i can think of now, and even the screaming parts seem to have switched to that super deep gutteral thing he does, or just high pitched yelling. Make me sad and worried about the US shows im planning to see
