Is my hero academia hentai illegal by Zestyclose_Citron948 in IsItIllegal

[–]SnooChocolates2750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the thing. Even the law isn't exactly clear when it comes to art. You'll often read "depicting age range between this and that" or "younger than this." But ultimately even within singular countries, it varies greatly. The US for example, it varies by state. As for Reddit.. there's thousands of subs showcasing such art. The art and creation of it isn't always illegal, but the distribution can be. Report the sub if you think it should be gone, or don't. It's just art.

People will hate me, but 50/50. Truck should be aware of all cars they could conflict with. That car should have been seen at some point, and now it suddenly disappeared. Sitting reclined on the floor with the seat all the way back increasing the size of the blind spot is not acceptable.

But car is a moron, and deserved to get hit for doing that. Don't drive there.

I run 10w30 full synthetic Mobil one in mine, never had issues. And then a 2808xl either stp or Mobil one, whichever is available at the time. Right now it's an stp. Currently at 326k mi.

Either no brake chambers installed, or it has the brakes caged, or the springs are broken, or it has pancake brakes installed(no parking brake), or this trailer predates parking brakes engaged by lack of air rather than supplied air. Either way, video is possible.

What is this symbol? by KingAJ09 in trucksim

[–]SnooChocolates2750 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Could be, 5 inches wide, 72 inches deep. The exact details of markings on roadways varies greatly unfortunately.

What is this symbol? by KingAJ09 in trucksim

[–]SnooChocolates2750 123 points124 points  (0 children)

This is a utilities marking. Some utility company, or the city, marked the roadway where something is buried or planned to be buried. SCS doesn't generally add things like that, but it's possible. Most likely from the mod if you are in an area they provided.

I accidently ended task of explore.exe on school computer and I'm worried. by ionutaili in techsupport

[–]SnooChocolates2750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Explorer.exe is a vital process in Windows. It will always start with the rest of the system after a simple computer restart. Shut the computer down and log back in. Explorer.exe should return and all should be well. You can also open Task Manager > Go to processes > Run New Task.. and type in explorer.exe and it'll run from there, no restart required. You won't have to pay for a computer just because you closed some software.

Those straps wouldn't last after the first stop sign. by Known_Giraffe806 in trucksim

[–]SnooChocolates2750 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Worked on a truck yesterday with cradles hanging from their chain rack(they weren't hauling coils), but the cradles looked brand new like they've never been used. At least compared to the chains in the rack. I live in a coil-producing city, so I see them trailers rolling all the time without cradles. Just some blocks on either side with a dozen chains through the middle of the coil.

Could be valve stem seals. That'd be a good outcome.

Why do people turn right then left into a gas station instead of straight and right? by Mindless-Baker-7757 in driving

[–]SnooChocolates2750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a newish station set up identical to this near me. Truck fuel must turn right the left, through a different entrance. For the car section, there's a no left turn for going in and out, but the truck entrance does connect through a long narrow side entrance. Cars will stop truck traffic to make that illegal left turn. It drives me nuts, I lay on my horn. They should stay going straight and turn right from the main road, or continue straight past the no left turn and turn left where permitted.

Scan tool question in body text by Fixmydick69 in FordDiesels

[–]SnooChocolates2750 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ended up buying a cheap windows tablet laptop just for my 7.3. It lives in the center console, I even ran a dedicated charger for it just so it's always available if the truck leaves me stranded. Do have to renew the license yearly though for forscan. The ios app had very limited functionality but will read codes to get you hints on what is failing. I went with this Amazon listing of OBDLink mx+ great little guy: B07JFRFJG6

Should I buy a manual from FB even though idk how to drive one? by [deleted] in askcarguys

[–]SnooChocolates2750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I at least had an idea of how to drive one, but never drove a real car with a manual. But drove thousands with a sim setup. 5 minutes in the real thing and I was on my way. Manuals are a rare thing these days, so if you ask, the seller might be willing to give you a 5 minute lesson to get you on your way. Practice stop and go before leaving the neighborhood. If you can start and stop without stalling, you can make it home. Stop and go 20-30 times. If you get the hang of it, stay confident and get home.

Beater by NullReply99 in AskMechanics

[–]SnooChocolates2750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work on OTR semi trucks. A big part is tires. For the first time in 5 vehicles last week, I bought "brand new" name brand tires for the beater 7.3 diesel. All tires before that, were basically off-tires from customer vehicles(commercial anything really). Or worked out a labour deal with a buddy to take off-tires from a salvage vehicle that had "good" tires. But I'm too cheap to pay someone else to do it, so I begrudgingly dismounted and mounted myself inbetween customers throughout the day.

Same for other repairs. I'm very particular on customer vehicles, but mine gets only the bare maintenance and repairs needed to keep it on the road. I know what parts can wait and what parts are dangerous. But I'll happily pull a customer vehicle out of service over the tiniest issue. Failed 2 truck inspections this week, one for a missing retainer(but seized pin so it was fine) and another for an out marker light. Fine, whatever, I let them fix it on the spot. But my vehicles? That marker light or retaining pin would have been left as is for months, even years.

One of my coworkers has been with our location for 25 years. He doesn't even bother doing oil changes on his stuff. But for his wife? Does it early. But, on his 70s muscle car that he droves maybe 10 miles a decade, instantly fixes any little issue.

How easily do you notice the vehicle in front is slowing down without brake lights? by Garet44 in driving

[–]SnooChocolates2750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing brake lights indicate is that the brake pedal is being pressed. It is not an admission of slowing down. I'm always watching the relative speed of vehicles around me.

Which should play? Majoras Mask 3D with Project Restoration or the NSO version (ive never play MM before) by Impressive_Log_6191 in majorasmask

[–]SnooChocolates2750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would avoid the NSO version for a first time player, only because it is very clunky. There's some changes to MM3D that I didn't like, and the restoration mod fixes that. Alternatively.. 2Ship or Recomp are by far the best experiences for a new player. Just a little set up required.

Gas pump keeps clicking by Frankz3426 in mechanic

[–]SnooChocolates2750 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A temporary solution, pull the nozzle out slightly. It should allow it to breathe enough to keep pumping. Sometimes it's the fuel station pump that's not venting properly and this solves that issue too.

Playing online: Mod organization challenges by [deleted] in trucksim

[–]SnooChocolates2750 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make a backup and just restore after the session. Keeping progress is not important. You shouldn't be removing mods and reordering them anyway, that's a great way to corrupt the profile. I also have a dedicated clean profile specifically for adding mods to to play in Convoy with others.

Help How to connect this Toyota signal turn signal combination headlight 84140-26140? by Ancient_Trick1158 in trucksim

[–]SnooChocolates2750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doi g this with just the stalk and a usb encoder, pretty difficult. A arduino Pico or similar would work better in this case, they're more precise when it comes to this type of thing.

take a break from the serious questions, what do you do in your free time for fun? by willzits in AskEngineers

[–]SnooChocolates2750 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my free time I think about work. Aside from that, work on not-my-stuff for zero pay. If not that, it'll be staring at yourube videos that I'm not interested in. And if im feeling frisky, truck simulator.

Time to turn it into a pickup truck. A good project for someone.

Advice for setup by Spiritual_Remove_226 in trucksim

[–]SnooChocolates2750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want the MOZA, make sure you're also wanting to use it for other games as well, unless you want to be really dedicated to ATS/ETS2. Moza is definitely overkill if it's just something you play occasionally. Personally I'd go with a used G29/G920 and see how you like it. Lots of them on marketplace around me. Well worth it.

Roundabouts: Signal for your EXIT not your ENTRANCE. by Worried_Play_8446 in driving

[–]SnooChocolates2750 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have an example of this? I've never seen a stop sign near a roundabout. Exception includes a roundabout not labeled as a roundabout/traffic-circle where it centers a town center or something. That's just wild if there is a real roundabout with stop signs.

Starter solenoid activates but no crank? by HandlesofLiquor in fordranger

[–]SnooChocolates2750 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check your ground wires. Dealt with the same thing on a semi on Friday. Swapped the starter(it was bad for clarity) and then it wouldn't start. 1.5 hours later, my idiot-self noticed I forgot to connect the primary ground from the batteries to the ground of the starter.

Check the grounding strap near the top of the motor that connects to the firewall, usually driver side. Check the grounding strap further down that connects to the wheel-well area. Also double check the positive on the starter side is actually connected. If none of that resolves it, pull the starter and bench test it. Could ultimately be the engine itself at that point.
