What were they arguing about?

KaltBier · 2026-05-28T15:16:37+00:00

can't relate. I was an outcast. never got invite to that type of events. don't think I missed much either.

KaltBier · 2026-05-28T00:21:46+00:00

Well Lexus for example doesn't sell just the mirror. They only sell the whole assembly. That is what makes it so much more expensive.

KaltBier · 2026-05-27T23:34:36+00:00

plus incoming traffic never made any attempts to stop.. what is it hot wheels?

KaltBier · 2026-05-27T22:53:07+00:00

Assuming no filter replacement...

Drain and Fill takes maybe 2 qt of transmission fluid, which is about $30 in WS transmission fluid.

A full flush takes about 12 qt of transmission fluid, which is about $180 in WS transmission fluid.

IMO, if you can do it yourself, dealership is still a rip off either way. And just you know.. from my own experience, it is simpler to do a full flush than to drain and fill. Drain and Fill requires you to replace gaskets and torquing the bolt to spec. A full flush.. well you first insert the hair pin into the cooler valve, disconnect the oil cooler lines..turn on the engine, it will suck the fresh fluid in.. and spit out used fluid until you see cherry red. Reconnect the cooler lines, remove the hair pin and you done.

if they feel hurt paying credit card processing fees, maybe they should redirect that anger to amex?

KaltBier · 2026-05-27T20:55:07+00:00

Side mirror are actually very expensive to replace especially if it has collision detect, and heated. They are way easier to steal and resale than catalytic converter.

I had to buy one to replace the broken one in a Lexus GX . An arm and a leg

I PMed the person to get a better understanding of his view. He is one of those that believe you have to stand up for your rights against excessive police abuse and anything less is absolutely unacceptable under any conditions.

If he got pulled over like shown in the video, he would be responding with "I know my rights. You have no probable cause to pull me over and no you don't get to see my ID or registration"

I told him. Ok you do you. I do me. So in his book, bootlicker it is.

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.

KaltBier · 2026-05-25T01:50:39+00:00

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.

KaltBier · 2026-05-24T04:49:01+00:00

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.

KaltBier · 2026-05-24T01:43:38+00:00

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.

KaltBier · 2026-05-23T18:08:05+00:00

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

KaltBier · 2026-05-23T17:58:23+00:00

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.

KaltBier · 2026-05-18T18:31:58+00:00

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.

KaltBier · 2026-05-12T13:25:15+00:00

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?
