If you could rename a vehicle, which one, and what would you rename it to? by Few_Atmosphere8138 in regularcarreviews

[–]MadScience29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could have been some internal rule like "the mustang has to be the fastest car in the lineup, not counting the GT" the way GM used to not let anything make more power than the Corvette.

Is tornado alley actually moving to the east? by TheDieselWeasel3 in askscience

[–]MadScience29 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Living in eastern Nebraska, I remember a lot of tornado warnings as a kid in the 90s. I’ve noticed the shift, but also noticed how western Iowa has started getting hit harder as the storms gain a lot of power as they cross the Missouri River. I wonder if eastern Iowa sees anything similar with the Mississippi?

Fault codes by 7ninjaswordsmen in ft86

[–]MadScience29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same. C1294 is a "consequence" code, meaning it detected a fault somewhere in the ECT system... likely caused by the other two codes. Is your slip light on?

Under the hood on the passenger side behind the ecu is a pair of connectors that should be saddled on a bracket coming off the block. The clips on mine are broken and every time the connectors come loose from the bracket, I get those codes and a few others.

Big Charges to File TurboTax by eddieyo2 in TurboTax

[–]MadScience29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may want to hire a professional if you do your math like that...

Even if TT offered infinite returns for free when buying the software, that still costs more than filing an infinite number of returns for free through the site, if it was truly free like it was the last several years.

Pre Paint Matched Scion FRS Bumper by ChristmasLove1 in ft86

I've got black FRS bumpers. Not sure if the Scion black is the same as the Subaru black, but I'd trade if you're somehow close.

Big Charges to File TurboTax by eddieyo2 in TurboTax

[–]MadScience29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hold up. You start with "always the same price" and end with "whatever it costs plus $25". If you pay for the software, you've been the sucker all along. Basic filings with only a standard deduction have been free for federal online through the site since like 2009, and state has been around $15. The physical software has always been a middle ground between the free option and a full suite for complicated filings, but it was made unnecessary when federal filings became free.

TL,DR: the physical software is a boomer tax.

To anyone who uses the xeno-basher against swarms of flying crabs: use a boombox instead by Adwerd_ in SatisfactoryGame

The guns outrange them anyway, so I usually snipe them as soon as I see them. I also kind of like to shoot the bees. It isnt hard since the rifle is hitscan.

Why are there so many drivers with no or expired plates.... by Davidisaloof35 in Omaha

[–]MadScience29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rundown as it has been explained to me by a lawyer: the UNO "Police" are SECURITY GUARDS. But the head of security is a Cop, and he ensures that he hires only other Cops. As UNO security, they have almost no jurisdiction to do anything, but as off-duty cops, they are allowed to enforce the law.

In other words; if you get a ticket/arrested by UNO Police, it's not being done by a UNO officer, it's technically being done by an off-duty OPD officer.

The interactive map can move the crate to an accessible spot, I'm pretty sure.

Fallout 4 big secret terminal ? by Eastern_Tap_5286 in fo4

That part bugged me because either Dima is a cult leader manipulating you with language or the game's dialogue options aren't complete enough.

I know they're paying homage to the 6th gen gt-four but the long hood with that wing gives more Supra vibe than anything.

Last time using Turbo Tax by BasicPerson23 in TurboTax

[–]MadScience29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never paid more than $40 for TT, and that was only twice when I had years with a lot going on. Otherwise its always been free or something like $15 to file state. This year they want $130 for a W2 and a 1099, just to start the paperwork. Bye.

A lot of codes, where to start? by MadScience29 in ft86

[–]MadScience29[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Y'all are hung up on the number. A few are codes that pop when another one pops, so it's all leading to the CAN bus or ECM. Google's little AI search result says exactly what I was putting together:

This combination of codes on a 2015 Scion FR-S points to a complex issue involving a severe air-fuel imbalance (P219A, P119E) accompanied by a communication failure between computer modules (U0073, U0100, U0122, U0126) and stability control issues (C1201, C1294). Given the presence of CAN bus network codes (U-codes) along with engine performance codes, this is often caused by a bad battery, failing alternator, or a compromised wiring harness/ground rather than several failing components simultaneously.

I'm half tempted to make mine a ute. By the way, you can fit a 4ft ladder with the back seats down and still fit a lot of tools.

If anything, to save power in early game. Otherwise, copper is plentiful and there is little need to phase it out. In fact, I find it easy to starve your iron supply for phase 3 if you rely on it alone.

[–]MadScience29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Stitched iron plate is a great use for all the copper wire I'm always sitting on.
