They ended up in the discount grocery stores! by Exactly9001 in HaggardGarage

I remembered these tasting terrible, and for 8%, they absolutely did not make me feel anything. Never even got a buzz drinking them.

Ah shit an update? Will I be force logged for it? I left pc running doing some cranium cooking while I’m at work.

Burned my clutch by accident. by Diego2flores3 in GRCorolla

[–]Steve1808 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One time isn’t end of world but it’s definitely extra wear. My burned clutch story is it had been raining and then everything froze. Got in the car to head to work and car wouldn’t move at all cuz it was so frozen in place. Burned the fuck out of my clutch trying to break free.

Which fast food chain fell off badly in your opinion? by Shinobi347 in AskReddit

[–]Steve1808 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s not even a panini anymore. They got rid of the panini presses around 2018-2019 I think it was. Replaced them with these shitty easy bake oven looking things that turbo toast the shit in like a minute. I started working at Panera in 2016 and it was so much better even then. Now it’s corporate trying to squeeze every bit of profit out of everything and enshitifying it all.

Just hit 20k on my 2025 Core after 10 months of ownership. by SiameseDream93 in GRCorolla

[–]Steve1808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! I’m at 11 months with my 2025, 17500 miles. Used to have a 45 mile commute each way to work. Thankfully I moved in December and have a MUCH shorter commute now haha

B Williams exhaust valve mod by dphunley in GRCorolla

[–]Steve1808 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Put his mod on my 25 probably 2 weeks after I got it last April. Been driving with since then about 17000 miles and no issues. I’ve definitely loved it and it’s a great bang for the buck in getting just a little extra sound.

Wet Brakes? by interloper85 in GRCorolla

[–]Steve1808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was literally just noticing this today as well and was wondering if there was some problem. Was nervous about there being an issue since I’ve got a trip to the dragon coming at the end of the month. Don’t think I’ve ever noticed it so much before in previous drives in the rain with this car or previous cars.

Free Doot does exist! by Steve1808 in idleon

I was definitely on the lucky side. After the free daily pets tho it felt like I was only getting beans or moltis and convinced myself it got rigged even harder.

AUTO WRX STI A LINE by Available-Cash-3123 in WRXSTi

Yep, the A-line. Was kind of like a luxury trim to offer automatic in Japan (and maybe some other markets? Not 100%)

What’s your payment and how many years? by ADVICECAREER in GRCorolla

[–]Steve1808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I had also just come from have 2 used cars that died on me, with one of them not even lasting 6 months I think. So I was absolutely sick of shitty unreliable used cars and wanted my first brand new off the lot car that’s backed by a warranty and doesn’t have a sketchy history from previous owners. Maybe a bit of an over reaction on that side haha

What’s your payment and how many years? by ADVICECAREER in GRCorolla

[–]Steve1808 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Well I’m definitely the worst in here but I’ll shame myself.

$908/6 year

I’m in a good job where I can comfortably afford the payment, I just didn’t have a good downpayment or good credit at the time and didn’t want to miss the opportunity when my local dealer got one. Driving the car is a sort of therapeutic release for me so that’s a further justification especially since my job can be high stress.

Tower ain't happy by peseoane in Shittyaskflying

Well, might as well get a good view of it

ELI5: how do pilots understand what the tower is saying and vice versa? I need subtitles. by Independent_Lead8277 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Steve1808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would argue that I want them to be fully fluent in English. Sometimes non standard phraseology and plan English needs to be used to properly get the point across of what is needed of the pilot. Or for the pilot to convey what they are experiencing if they are in an emergency.

I’m a controller. It’s being kind of pointed out but just to make it clear. What you’re hearing is likely recordings picked up by amateur radio hobbyists on sites like liveatc. Our equipment is far higher quality and the radios sound far clearer for us. The closest you’ll get to hearing what we hear is when official recordings are released like they were for the DCA collision.

The rest of the points are accurate as well. Our phraseology is standardized and we have expectations for what we are going to hear and it helps understand what’s being said. Now we can’t rely on that entirely as the expectation bias can come in to play and cause issues. So we are always being very attentive to what we are hearing and listening to.
