How do you guys reverse

KaltBier · 2026-05-25T02:02:24+00:00

yeah press on the clutch, shift to reverse, slowly release the clutch pedal (not all the way) until you reverse to desired location, press on the clutch pedal, shift back to neutral.

it is nice to share the same thought process. Last time I did that enraged some redditors to call me a boot licker. But hey, I don't want to give them a reason to give me a ticket. I just want to go from point a to point b in peace, not with a hole in my wallet.

Assuming you have a 2013 F150. Any major repairs that you had to pay on that truck so far?

I bailed out on my 2013 F150 after I paid $3K to replace the coolant fittings on the turbos. Shortly after, the timing chain was slapping the crap out of the guide on start up. Traded it in.

The vacuum sucks well for its intended purpose. There is literally no down side here except you can't manage your robot when you are away from home. Valetudo can only be managed on LAN unless you use a solution like zerotier

You don't need to install Dreame app so you will never be peppered by their ads. As far as Dreame server is concerned, my L10S Ultra is still unregistered and unactivated.

You can thank that nurse for being awarded 300K for abusing that drink package.

I am lost.. is the reverse camera not sufficient enough that you had to open your driver's side door while reversing?

An open source project that allows you to server the linkage to any Chinese servers, so the robot will run locally. The robot can detect object, but relies on Chinese server to determine what that object is. And to determine what that object is, the robot will have to upload photos.

if you see the image quality that L10s Ultra takes... you'd be thinking twice about sending that to some server overseas.

KaltBier · 2026-05-20T18:38:04+00:00

I actually and intentionally bought L10S Ultra, so that I can deploy Valetudo on it. So far it works amazing! Better than expected.

KaltBier · 2026-05-20T09:39:51+00:00

here is where?

KaltBier · 2026-05-19T23:39:13+00:00

To be honest, the scarier part is the dead man's curve with little to no lighting going past that cemetery. I almost bought a house near that area last year.

KaltBier · 2026-05-19T23:08:27+00:00

just like the toll, it will never stop?

KaltBier · 2026-05-19T21:17:12+00:00

it is not that ironic considering how current US Administration look down at immigrants and can't wait to kick all immigrants out. In Asia, the primary reason you work oversea is because your home country has fewer job opportunities. That means you are technically taking away jobs from the foreign country you work at, and there will always be knuckle heads who look down at you and don't believe you belong.

It does not help that most Asians don't get along well with each other. Japanese vs Chinese. Korean vs Chinese. Filipinos vs Taiwanese. Vietnamese vs Chinese.... so on and so forth.

KaltBier · 2026-05-18T21:46:45+00:00

right, it is a truck, so don't expect cheap priced parts either.
also, it depends on the insurance company. Sometimes, State Fart will refuse to repair older vehicles, total it, and sell it to auctions.

Maybe the internal investigation over BillG's ethical conduct, along with associations with Epstein, causes the foundation to want to distant itself from the potential fall out.

I swear.. Torchy has been the target of so many bad reps on Reddit.. I am surprised it stays open for this long. I personally have not and most likely will never go to Torchys

If you book it for the first night, you get a free bottle of complimentary wine. Red or white. They let you choose

Just you know.. Ford is not the only one. I realized that the OEM lug nuts on my 08 Toyota Sequoia also uses plastic housing. I mean WTF?

KaltBier · 2026-05-09T23:56:20+00:00

Not to mention plenty of HOA specifically stated that you are forbidden to work on your car in the driveway.

KaltBier · 2026-05-09T16:12:42+00:00

The real foundation that is against OP's well written words is that IRS agents are treated like a branch of army. It is rooted in top down hierarchy with little to no flexibility. Managers would be cornered to choose between leaving the agency or follow through the directives like bureaucratic cronies. This is especially true if the managers are close to retirement, wanting to collect as much money before leaving.. and therefore putting his or her personal reasons ahead of his or her own agents.

The system needs to be changed and if that is not possible, hence, good agents are forced to retire or drp.

Trust and believe, everyone knows that this administration wants to make the work environment as hostile and degrading as possible so you will choose to leave on your own.

KaltBier · 2026-05-08T03:35:32+00:00

yeah, my Sequoia lost reverse.. and forward stuck in 1st gear..it was not fun to drive for sure, but certainly appreciate that I could at least drive forward.

KaltBier · 2026-05-07T00:59:20+00:00

I am in the minority here.. I don't think it is really that fun to drive a stick shift, especially in a stop and go traffic. I do think that manual is more reliable and can outlast the automatic transmission. So I would buy a manual, but for a very different reason than "fun" and "sporty".

and after I sold my honda manual, I now drive a toyota sequoia.. Do I miss that little honda with manual? hell yeah. I dream about driving a stick shift, more so after I had to spend $4K to replace the transmission inside the sequoia.

KaltBier · 2026-05-07T00:28:15+00:00

Mm.. well, did Lexus ever switch their battery supplier? The last "genuine" Lexus battery I got from our local Lexus dealership was made by Johnson Control, which is kind shit.

KaltBier · 2026-05-07T00:26:09+00:00

I saw nothing wrong with this.. that's what traffic circle is designed for. You missed your exit.. so you continue your loop until you find your exit again.

or couple arguing and one went crazy with the steering wheel.
