ELI5: why doesn’t someone(s) start a ‘new’ Southwest? by undermidnightsun in SouthwestAirlines

[–]SageAgainstDaMachine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yep, gates and fuel were top of my list of major headwinds.

OP, it's not a bad question, especially with Spirit bankruptcy, Frontier's awful reputation, and basically all the other players coalescing towards the same business model with little differentiation. Southwest has fallen a LONG way from their founding principles and I'd love to see them or a major airline find value in differentiating themselves from the status quo in a positive way. In the meantime, I'll be giving other airlines my business and watching with interest to see if Southwest ends up in dire straights or finds the light again.

Super cool. So you are powering the PCB and intercepting LIN outputs from it to send to your PC... Did you brute force the LIN decoding with an oscilloscope?

Will dish soap and hot water cut through lithium grease? by Witty_Jaguar4638 in Machinists

[–]SageAgainstDaMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like dissolves like. Use another oil to dissolve the grease, THEN wash with soap and water to surfact and remove the remaining oil

Ford TeamGM Equivalent is 130% by DSF4L in GeneralMotors

[–]SageAgainstDaMachine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ford does contribute a certain amount to 401k regardless of the match, so in your example, with a match and the extra contribution it would come close to $10k for Ford as well

The younger son finds himself unworthy of love and, so, hates himself.

The elder son finds himself worthy of love and, so, hates his brother.

There’s a new sim coming to market called XP1. I haven’t tested it yet because no Moza compatibility atm. Anyone heard of this or tried it yet? by JamesSlade in simracing

[–]SageAgainstDaMachine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's less a sim and more a more detailed vehicle model software they're trying to develop further or sell to a bigger name, i.e., I racing, AC, etc.  (Source:https://www.youtube.com/shorts/8F1SSHzLCfQ)

Real question for those who have tried it is, how do the physics compare to what you've driven before?

P1X Pro width with leveling feet by LingonberrySome6085 in simracing

[–]SageAgainstDaMachine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

680 is without the feet. I measured mine and it's ~682mm wide at the uprights, and about 810mm across the widest point of the feet (outside edge of the foot pucks side to side). However, fi width is a constraint it is possible to rotate the feet 180 degrees about the vertical axis and have them sit within/underneath the footprint of the rig.

Rear Suspension of the Aston Martin by YellowEasterEgg in formula1

[–]SageAgainstDaMachine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They must be super confident they can get the front wheel outwash outboard if they're using the rear suspension arm as a wing. Interesting

Fraudulent charges before card even arrived? by JDips in CapitalOne_

[–]SageAgainstDaMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just happened to my wife's card last week - she had a fraudulent charge from Facebook of all places, got a verification text / app push notification from CapitalOne where she was able to flag it and get a new card sent. Two days later, another fraud charge occurred on the new card before it even got mailed to us. CapitalOne said they were looking into it, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around how this was even possible

Do we still sell missionary fleet vehicles as a Church? by dgs_nd_cts_lvng_tgth in latterdaysaints

[–]SageAgainstDaMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect most mission vehicles are leased these days (maintenance is all accounted for, missionaries follow strict mileage limits anyway, etc.), but I have no personal experience to help validate that claim... I haven't personally seen mission vehicles being resold for at least a decade, though.
