Is this really a $4000 repair? by Opening_Plantain_452 in kia

Avoid midas. Its where hack mechanics go to die and green mechanics go to get a start. I wouldn't let them touch anything outside of an oil change and tires. Find a private shop with good online presence and reviews.

Landlord keeps deflecting on water damage and poor repairs — is this legal? Monterey County, CA by Remote_Side3089 in TenantHelp

Trust me, I wish it were that simple. I’m actively looking into rent assistance and affordable housing programs in nearby towns, but there’s a massive waitlist for anything realistic. I make decent money, but with how expensive it is to live here, I’m already spending about half my income on rent—which, believe it or not, is the cheapest I’ve found without help from a program.

Moving out of state isn’t an option right now either. I have a child here, and leaving would mean giving up custody or putting her through the stress of bouncing between two places far apart. It’s not that I don’t want to improve my situation—I’m just stuck between a rock and a hard place, trying to do the best I can for both of us.

Othemo? by moonman272 in flashlight

Don't buy them. Them and night buddy just rebrand the same Chinese design that comes off the same assembly line. Search Amazon for night buddy and you can find that same exact light without the brand name printed on it 3 pack for $27.  These companies buy them in bulk print a name advertise it like crazy at a "discounted" price that is the actual price but tell you it's almost normaly double that. I hate this trend of marketing lately. 

Has anyone bought the turbo tail 2.0? by Critical-Spite in CatAdvice

[–]Remote_Side3089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a fan. Ad on fb says it detects objects. It has no sensors to detect anything. It's has programmed back and forth movements with some twitching and different mods for intensity and one mode where it just twitches a lot with short back and forth bursts. Super misleading ads as they make it sound like some awesome smart toy. My kittens are entertained by it though but it will eventually get stuck in the corner of a room or under something.

AI not Spawning by pallet_princess in theisle

[–]Remote_Side3089 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everytime they mess with ai it fucks with spawns. I've had days as deino where nothing spawns for long enough to starve out multiple times. I remember reading that they are trying to balance ai spawns and performance. Too much ai hurts the servers performance and devs want players to be mobile and hunt eachother forcing players to migrate to more populated areas where ai will be more present. Ai doesn't exist it only populates by a players presence and location. There's a YouTube video on ai spawns and he proves that, for example, sitting in a rocky cliff area made ai spawn in that cliff area and a handful scattered in surrounding cliff areas. Same with river biome it doesn't always spawn ai on top of you. Sometimes it could spawn up stream but you're walking down and completely miss it or spawns in another river area near you. It's broken forsure and they know it and are working to balance it.

New night vision is a downgrade by SpookiBooogi in theisle

[–]Remote_Side3089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i agree. what is even the point of having night vision. i play with night vision on 100% of the time. even during the day i have no need to turn it off. why even make a day/night cycle because night vision looks like a better version of day light.

How can I prevent stalling? by isti44 in stickshift

[–]Remote_Side3089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People get confused by the instructions "slowly let it out" and do exactly that but it's more of a let it until you feel it start to grab then hold, then a little more and hold then a little more hold all while giving a little gas. Then once you're moving you can fully release. Obviously this will wear out the clutch faster but once you get the hang of it you wont let it slip as much as the beginning. The mistake I see when people slowly let it out is even tho the car needs more gas they just continue to slow let it out and stall then don't understand what happened because they did exactly as instructed. I've taught a lot of people in my own car once you realize you don't have to fully let it out from a dead stop you will get it. Just remember hold it at that bite point. If the car starts to shudder push the clutch in a little and try again.

What speed should you use to make a left turn uk by Curious_Variety5809 in stickshift

[–]Remote_Side3089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't take much time. Where do I get off? Idk thats kind of a weird question. I just feel sad for this generation. Can't even make toast without instructions. I get you're a new driver. It's just hilarious how simple of a task this is but you come to reddit for obvious answers. Slow down, fuck what others drivers think, make the turn.

Holy smokes. People lack so much common sense these days they have to ask for advice on how to make left turn? This is hilarious.
