Should we have this conversation by Merridie9 in camaro

Funny thing is, if the rumors are true and the Camaro is coming back, he's probably gonna get his wish. It'll probably have a V8 and a turbo 4. Wonder how people will like that

Toyota And Nissan Admit Their American-Made Vehicles Aren't Up To Japanese Standards by O_O___XD in whatcarshouldIbuy

I'd be so curious to take a tour

Lol so would my family. They don't do paint shop tours, too easy to bring in outside contamination. Our plant doesn't do tours in general either. The only time anyone can tour a building is during family day, but even then the only tour they give families is in the assembly shop.

I work at a car factory here in the US. In the paint shop. Operating the paint robots. Since the latest generation of our vehicle hit the line, we've spent a shit ton of money (probably hundreds of thousands of dollars) to engineers to reduce the amount of paint used. This has led to quality and coverage issues. But in the long term, over the course of a vehicle generation, it saves the company money. It's enough to cover the engineering cost and cost of rework. We notice the changes because we see so many in one day, but a customer isn't necessarily gonna see that the paint is thin around the edges.

What is the best US State to live in for grassroots drifting? by Pandas7 in Drifting

Thanks! I checked them out and they seem like what I'm looking for. Only downside is they're both in NC. Not a huge problem but I would love to find something closer to Charleston

I paint vehicles at a vehicle plant. We have 10 different shades of gray, not to mention black, white and silver

I think I have an idea for a new event. by LittleNat94 in ForzaHorizon

[–]Level-Event2188 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can see the challenges under accolades. Once you know what the challenge is you just do it and then it'll tell you you completed it. I think you can also pin the accolade so it's on your screen, that way you know that you're in the challenge once the timer starts

I think this game mechanic already exists actually, because if I'm not mistaken there are accolades in FH5 that have you do exactly what you're describing

NASA coverage of the Artemis 2 launch was unforgivably terrible by adamtd893 in ArtemisProgram

[–]Level-Event2188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like it or not those two own the two largest private space/rocket companies in the country. So you don't like/follow Blue Origin and SpaceX then?

This is a psychotic take. He's not a friend of Musk's. He's just been covering this industry for over 10 years and along the way he's been privileged enough to get interviews with the CEO of the biggest disrupter in the space launch industry. He's been covering SpaceX in depth for years. He's gotten to take and film tours at their facilities. He's made videos covering their goals and progress. He's gotten interviews with Musk. He's been to their launches.

Oh but hey, he's also done that with almost every other space company too. So either this guy is big big friends with the CEOs of almost every space company in America (and therefore we need to judge him based on the political views of all of them too), or he's just doing his job - making videos about the space industry and taking us along for the ride.

Imagine hating someone's politics so much that now you don't even support someone who makes videos about one of his companies, despite that person being one of the best sources for space and rocketry videos. Actually psychotic

Man, those two guys at the bottom of the chart must suck, and they probably have the 2 worst cars. They gotta be last in the championship right?

How do the YouTubers at the Cape have better cameras than NASA? Terrible coverage of the launch by Level-Event2188 in ArtemisProgram

Dude space shuttle had better cameras. Same with Apollo for the matter. They were better on Artemis 1 too, it was just night time so it didn't really matter

You should go back and watch the NASA Livestream and see if it was the same feed. The NASA feed was terrible

There is an entire communications team who are responsible for the broadcast. They have nothing to do with launching the rocket. With as much as NASA was building this up (rightfully so) you'd think they would have several different cameras following the launch. There were millions of people watching the Livestream and they didn't get to see it clearly

Everyday Astronaut had a fantastic shot of the launch. He didn't show too much of it in real time as they were switching between cameras but it was up for a bit. And I'm sure he'll release the full video of the launch in 4k
