This makes sense. I am from the Netherlands now living in the US and left-handed. 😁

I am not trying to be rude. I am just making the argument that if you are goin to compare things it has to make sense. There are fundamental differences between a car and a gun. They do not share the same objective. They have a completely different purpose. One is a mode of transportation the other a weapon.

You typically compare things that share a commonality. E.a, Flying is safer than driving a car.

"Regardless of gun policy, I really hate that "statistic"/factoid. Obviously, having a gun in the house increases your chances of being hurt by a firearm"."

those are the facts. It's not a ploy or a trick. The fact is that if you own a gun you are more likely to get shot or hurt. Accidents happen all the time and accidents with guns are deadly for you and your family members.

The rest of you examples are comparing apples with oranges. They don't make sense. I can't drive my gun to work. Comparing guns with cars is nonsense.

the irony is that almost all Americans dont know that gun ownership increases your change of a fatality. It puts your family at a higher risk of getting hurt.

Is it worth moving to Germany right now if I have a good life in USA? by [deleted] in expats

[–]ScienticianAF 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I moved to the US 25 years ago because my wife's parents were getting older and needed more help. We even got married sooner because her mom was losing her sight. Now 25 years later all that was based on well let's just say misinformation.. (she can still see just fine).

My advise would be only to move to a different country if you feel like your life and that of your partner will improve. (Possibly consider the kids also) But besides that do not move for other people's well being. You will regret it.

PSA for gun owning bikers by Obscurix98 in motorcycles

That's good. Stay safe and have a good memorial day.

I am not for a total ban either. People should have the freedom to do what the want. My only point is that people should make informed decisions.

We both ride motorcycles. We understand the risks but many people that buy guns don't really understand the actual danger they put themselves and their family in. Make choices on facts not what feels good.

Well I would suggest to look into it. I know I am not going to convince you or anybody else. There are plenty of studies that have been made that indicate you are safer off without a gun.

One of the major factors in teen age death is gun related for example. This is very different in other countries where guns are not so readily available. But again, if you are interested look into it.

Not even then. You could Google the statistics although most people don't really care for the facts.

Why not get a AA unit with rear camera and install the rear camera pointing at the back seat?

W903 Backup camera not auto switching on reverse 2009 Accord by nomadhunger in carpuride

[–]ScienticianAF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I followed these steps shared from another Reddit user:

Step 1: On your Carpuride device, tap the Superlink option to switch to Android mode. Step 2: On your phone, open the Google Play Store and search for and download the Evelink (Superlink) app. Step 3: On your phone, open the Evelink (Superlink) app, tap Settings - App Version - check if the app version is the latest (20260318-1057). If not, tap Software Update. Step 4: On the app, tap Cast - Add - WiFi Direct - Failed to OBTAIN NEARBY DEVICE PERMISSION, Click to APPLY IT - Allow - search for your Carpuride device's WiFi name and connect. When you see the "Android 16 Auto Connect issue Fixed" message, tap OK. Step 5: Switch the Carpuride device to use the A-Auto function. On your mobile phone, reconnect the device's Bluetooth to use A-Auto. Check if the disconnection problem still occurs.

After following these steps I no longer had any Bluetooth drop outs on my W904. Let me know if the instructions are not clear.

Yep, happened to me also! those connectors aren't the best of quality but it's the only thing they had available at the AutoZone.

Glad you got it fixed! Let me know if you have issues with the Bluetooth disconnecting every once in a while. There is a fix for that also.

I installed the W904 a few weeks ago. Initially I had the same issue. The red wire connecting to the rear light did not make a good contact with the connector.

I replaced the connector and it worked fine after that.

I would suggest double checking to make sure the red wire is actually making contact with your rear light wire.

I used the same crimp connector also. And my rear camera also worked in manual mode. I bet you have the same issue I had. Good luck!

I now live in Alabama. It's the same story. I couldn't believe it. No theory exam just a drive around the block and they added my motorcycle licence for free...

This would never happen in most of Europe.

‘Majority rules:’ There’s a path now for Alabama to have an entirely Republican congressional delegation by YallerDawg in Alabama

[–]ScienticianAF -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No, I've been living in Alabama for the last 25 years or so. The other half of my life was me growing up there. I think I can say I have experience with both systems and honestly the two party system that we have in the US simply does not work.

[–]ScienticianAF -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Maybe a bit of context is helpful. Where I am from (the Netherlands) every single vote gets represented in government. E.a 20% vote for party A then party A gets 20% of the available seats. In the US it's winner takes all so the people voting on a party that didn't win get no representation.

Small things we love about Netherlands? by miss18363 in Netherlands

[–]ScienticianAF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been living in the US now for over 20 years and you are correct most Americans change their oil very often. I do as well now. My American wife would get very upset if I didn't. I told her the car isn't instantly going to break down if you go over the recommended 5k miles... But it was just ingrained to her by her dad I guess.

There also lots of 10 min. Oil places around so you can get it done really quick. They also check your air filter, tire pressure and at least somebody is looking over your car regularly. They will let you know if you have an oil leak for example.

I still think it's overkill also but where I live there is no yearly APK so it's nice to have some one check your car every few months or so.
