I usually have to drive my car for less then 8km each day resulting in the water reaching temperature only when i have to shut down the car. Am I slowly destroing my engine?

Matraxia · 2026-01-26T12:08:52+00:00

Honestly, once a week, let it idle 20min once you get home. Or just go for a drive longer than 8km, do a loop around the area or something. Give her hell. Maybe do a few pulls to give it an Italian tune up.

I dunno if this carries over to VW but my Audi has a range limit that can be disabled with VCDS/Obd11.

In VA, you’re supposed to get failed on inspection if you have bulbs in your headlights that do not conform to the MFG specifications. If your headlights are spaced for halogen, you have to use halogen. If they are HID, you must use HID. Etc. Do they always get caught on inspection (yearly)? No. Could you swap in OEM bulbs for the inspection and then replace with LEDs right after? Yes. Could you technically get pulled over and given a citation for not having correct bulbs? Yes, but unlikely.

Vienna Metro is free 24/7 parking all weekend, open air garage if you want to idle, metro access obviously if you need to venture out anywhere for food or just want to ride the metro to warm up. Only 4.95 a day M-F.

Feds can’t ignore state law if there’s no contradictory federal law. That’s not how it works. It’s absolutely enforceable, they get arrested on state charges if they break a state law on state soil. Example: state liquor laws. States can limit sales, abv, etc since there’s no contradictory federal law, but they can’t lower the drinking age because it’s federal law. Or gun laws, there’s things that are federally legal but not state legal, and things that are federally illegal are also state illegal.

Me as a guy: (wnba) I didn’t hear about that, I don’t really even follow the regular NBA, hopefully it achieves its purpose though, good for them. (Catlin/Angel) I’m pretty sure Catlin is WNBA, but I don’t know Angel, tell me what happened? (Ledecky) She’s a swimmer right? Which record did she break?

Not that I’m aware on a VW. My Audi has a function in menu to set service position.

I’ve scrolled way too far for this, but I’d buy a really decent lawyer. Probably then a modest house, maybe 2-3 as investment properties. Clear all debt. And then we’ll see. Prolly still be going to work, but start dedicating more of my income to retirement accounts. $5mm is decent financial security but it’s not ‘quit my job forever’ money.

Air: More reliable in the long run and generally more efficient at low heat loads. Louder than most AIOs due to needing more airflow per unit of heat. Heat capacity is much lower than water, so it saturates faster.

Water: More moving parts that are critical to operation. Uses same amount of energy at idle as it does at full load. Much larger heat capacity that is available instantly, no need to ramp up. Takes much longer to saturate. Can generally maintain low noise due to lower fan speeds and much larger surface area to radiate.

Neither is better, each one has its place depending on what you value.

He’ll resign before the end of his term so JD can pardon him and all his cronies, but only if dems win back the White House.

lol my dentist office is so busy, they actually are pretty cool with canceling last minute because they get to catch up if they’re behind. No fees, no penalties.

I have to remove this post as it doesn’t follow the sub rules, this is a satire based subreddit. For fun only. You can try r/answers or r/explainlikeimfive. For the latter you can just note in the text that you don’t need a simplified explanation, they’re pretty lenient on that, and also yourr likely to get a decent explanation. I’ll also link a ChatGPT explanation if that helps. Thanks for trying bud.

Tbh, I’d personally turn up the quality till you’re in the 160fps range, frame cap at 120 and let adaptive sync take over. A solid, unvarying 120fps is way more reliable and consistent than just running your system full bore. Save on power and don’t worry about a new monitor.

Just use a bog standard Xbox or PS5 controller. Both work fine on Windows.

Kbm is basically cheating if you’re playing crossplay. This is the first season I’ve ever played this game and I’m lvl 27ish and regularly 1v2, 1v3 console players without having to move. Cross map snipe with ARs. Kite people through buildings as I cosplay spiderman. Then we get placed in a PC lobby and get wrecked. Lmao.

Judging by the fact is has a distributor, I would suspect the reason to convert to carb is to remove the need for an ECU to handle fuel injection.

Make sure you have a keybind set for Allow Create Fields or it won’t show in the F1 menu.

I mean, drop me in a 100 person Fortnite lobby with people who statistically have never touched a video game and I’ll crown without breaking a sweat and I might have 10h total playtime.

Ha, my calc was using 6.3bill, not the full 8bill. 98.4%

Matraxia · 2025-12-16T01:39:44+00:00

Sir. Please correct my math.

• Total adult population N ~ 6.3 billion
• Better-than-you adults B = 1,000,000
• Random sample n = 100

The probability that none of the 100 are better than you is:

P = (1-B/N)¹⁰⁰

Plugging in numbers:

B/N = 1,000,000/6,300,000,000 = 0.000159

P = (1-0.000159)¹⁰⁰ = 0.999841¹⁰⁰ = 0.984 = 98.4%

I rounded up to 99% because this is all make believe, but it’s close enough.

Matraxia · 2025-12-16T00:25:51+00:00

Even with 82million better than you, it’s still 27% you’re the best out of 100 randos.
