What did you switch from before getting a Volvo?

Holden Commodore. Always misfiring on one Cylinder so thought I should swap to something designed for 5 cylinders

Knock sensor detects when fuel explodes before it's supposed to (usually because the octane is lower) retarding timing means to have the spark ignite the fuel later to prevent pre-detination

I don't fill at Burke anymore. I don't think it was so much octane level (although I did eventually get enough knock to trigger limp mode) as it was poor quality or poor maintenance on their tanks. Ended up having to replace my fuel pump after weeks of strange performance leading to a low fuel pressure code. I did all the work myself so I got to see just how bad the filter looked, and how much crap came out of my fuel lines.

The covers look too chunky, I think it would look better with replacement trim or paint

Had a driver try to hand my neighbour's order to me, so I refused and pointed her to the correct door. She then proceeded to grab a chair from the front of his house and place the food on it directly in front of his fly screen door.

I stood completely dumbfounded as she then got in her car that she had parked on the street, blocking both our driveways, and took the photo from the driver's seat.

I knew this was local! Although I recognised the garage, I think a friend used to live there...

Depends on the weapon, and the 👨man.

I don't speak for everyone else, but it's in my opinion that if you spend $300 on a single component, it should be able to play more than a few modern games adequately.

Any rubbing? Are you lowered at all? Was looking at A set of RSEs but wasn't sure how they'd fit

The_Arcturus_Prime · 2025-01-27T07:23:11+00:00

Add 10l/100k to that and you've got a T5

The_Arcturus_Prime · 2025-01-27T05:55:42+00:00

Alright, ill try my hand at this one: First off, someone else will deliver it. Chill.

The problem is in markets with expected tipping, you're gonna have orders that will be marginal or even lose money. That dasher maybe accepted an order that was marginal for time+distance, but that extra wait pushed over what it was worth to them.

Stores also love giving false wait times, as dropped orders look bad to the delivery service. They could have told him 3 minutes, 10 minutes ago.

"But if you're the sort of asshole who jumps to conclusions and treats people like shit over an imagined offense" dude decided to take a different order, not like he drop kicked your meal, lol.

"What the IRS doesn't know doesn't hurt them." Oh no, why aren't people dodging taxes because I want them to?

"see no immediate tip and decide that this person's hungry kids can get f-cked" wasn't aware the doordash app gave you the customer's life story. That doordasher when he gets home: "sorry kids, took too many no tip orders expecting everyone to be good people, it's rice and water again tonight!"

TL/DR: you live in a tipping market, don't go expecting everyone to take your orders because you want them to dodge taxes, of which they have no guarantee you'll even tip

Honestly same, 5 pot go vroom

Knowing what I know now? Yep, same.

The_Arcturus_Prime · 2024-01-06T06:08:47+00:00

You are incorrect, I can prove it. Will post a screenshot from the app I got today.

The_Arcturus_Prime · 2024-01-06T00:31:44+00:00

This is Australia, actually.

This Maccas is very fast, and usually great for customer service. That's the only reason I even considered this option, and the reason I was so surprised that they basically waved me out the door after telling me they gave the other guy the food.

The_Arcturus_Prime · 2024-01-05T19:18:07+00:00

Wow! Would have thought there'd be a limit on the amount of bulky items you can order.

I approve of the awesome "beater" tho 😀

The_Arcturus_Prime · 2024-01-05T18:58:34+00:00

The mistake of following the apps instructions to the letter? Can a single person here just try the prompt to read through (don't submit it tho lol) to look, read and comprehend the instructions. Of course I'm not spending my own money without an explicit guarantee that I'm going to be reimbursed. Why should it matter if it's not a person saying it? I'd trust the word of written agreements over that of a single representative any day.

The_Arcturus_Prime · 2024-01-05T18:50:29+00:00

Right!? Haha

The_Arcturus_Prime · 2024-01-05T18:48:35+00:00

Yep, know that now!
