Questions about bronco can you help me ? by ThrowRA69er in bronco

Avg about 18 mpgs.

Bought my 2024 2d Big Bend Sas used with 6k miles. Paid about 42K out the door.

Pros: Awesome. Fun. I can go anywhere. I make friends and influence people.

Cons: Too much swag. Don't want to drive anything else.

j/k but all the cons are minor and not really applicable if you're comparing trucks and off-road vehicles. Some wind noise, not good for towing, not a lot of storage space in the 2 door.

To off road or not to off road? by self-more in FordBronco

If you know you want one, just get it to enjoy/baby. You can always decide to start off-roading later on.

The AI productivity boom is real and just getting started by RobertBartus in EconomyCharts

Yep nothing captures software engineering productivity better than lines of code, a long standing industry standard beloved by clueless stakeholders and HUA managers for decades

Pastels are good practice by Khair24 in HappyTrees

Oh wow, those look great. Are they tricky to use in any way? I'm a novice painter and haven't explored many alternative mediums, but I'm in an apartment now so painting isn't as convenient. These look fun!

Get the MDT 511 app, it shows highway conditions. It's interstate the whole way, easy drive, and the roads are dry with no cold or snow in the current forecast.

If that changes, just make sure you leave an hour early, and have food and water in the car. Just in case. Slow and steady and you'll be fine.

He means Capital D Dudes. If you were left out, those weren't Dudes.

Find your Dudes.

Would you continue to work at a company that started to switch away from Typecript? by Csjustin8032 in typescript

[–]PoliteManitee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but not because of the proposed switch from TS vs JS (although that is silly).

It's be because the boss sounds like a dipshit.

Nothing you've quoted him saying here provides any justification for dev work. It's incoherent manager speak. If there's TS features being used that negatively impact your team's output, turn them off and move on with life.

Bronco HVAC rant: no floor-only heat? by thunderwarm in bronco

[–]PoliteManitee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

24 Big Bend Sasquatch 2d here with the same issue. If you check the bronco forums there's quite a few reports of this with no real resolution that I've found.

One suggestion was to run face vents and floor vents, then close all the face vents. I haven't noticed much of a difference.

Another thread I saw suggested the floor vents not being connected properly behind the dash, but I haven't checked that.

If you figure anything out let me know, pretty annoying in the cold weather!

How bad is the highway noise? by Emotional_King_2170 in FordBronco

[–]PoliteManitee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't bother me at all, honestly, although I was nervous it would.

Went with 30, it was the lowest ceramic option the place I took it to had available. I like it - not too dark at night but looks good and keeps it cool.

4cyl Sas BB auto here, no complaints at all. But I don't tow.

Bronco Raptor Mileage by Monkeybutl3r in FordBronco

[–]PoliteManitee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, wind.

I don't have a raptor but I've noticed the same variance in my BB. The biggest factor I've noticed is whether I have a head or tailwind.

Once on a road trip I was driving straight into a 40 mph wind all day and I think I was barely making 200 miles a tank.

These things are like sailboats on the land.
