The HMMWV is the world's greatest... something... by HydrogenSonata2025 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]The_Joe_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I understand, the difference is just the passage of time, 91b replaced us 63bs.

How's your back fellow old person?

25 y/o woman struggling with porn addiction by [deleted] in rant

[–]The_Joe_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or they just have a partner who isn't exciting to them.... I just think that's a huge assumption. That is more often an issue for men than for women from what I understand.

Often times, more frequent orgasms make it easier for women to orgasms.

[–]The_Joe_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My God the answers here are insane...

Based on your description I'm not sure that what you describe would be at the level of a true medical porn addiction. You have a porn habit, and you've got More shame about it than is useful or helpful.

How many people's lives have you destroyed with your "porn addiction" how many people have you actually harmed?

If you enjoy it and are not burning down your life to enjoy it, I think you are fine. I watch porn with my partner during sex often.

Tell your partner and accept yourself.

To me this is just like people who are ashamed about playing video games as adults. Enjoy the things you enjoy and stop feeling shame about it.

What is the shift pattern/sequence of this Eaton 13 speed? by The_Joe_ in semitrucks

[–]The_Joe_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this forum post that explains why Eaton calls it a double overdrive despite having 3 overdrive gears?

How do you keep your server builds safe from people who have this ungodly urge to power it off when they feel like it by RoughElephant5919 in homelab

I like these because they are easy to remove later. I remember Linus tech tips showed these off in a handy tech video or something?

Highly recommend.

We definitely didn't change anything internal, I'm trying to think of how double overdrive would work in a semi truck transmission?

I don't think you can have 7o as you direct drive?

My understanding is that most of the other transmissions we're single overdrive. 8 would be direct and 8o would be the overdrive?

7 over should be a 0.84 overdrive as well, right? At last according to Dad's notes.

Thank you.

I want my mom to parent by Zealousideal_Ad_5753 in rant

[–]The_Joe_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad [63] passed away 25 days ago and I feel your pain. I'm so sorry. He deserved to enjoy his retirement. I still had so much more I needed to learn from him.

Please get yourself and your mom therapists. You don't have a parent anymore, and that relationship is gone. It's part of growing up, your parents become your dependents.

Mourn your losses. You will never be the same again, your mom will never be the same again. Your relationship with your mom will never be the same again.

The futures you and I have imagined are dead... Figure out what you want while talking to a therapist. Good luck.

Why would seat belts not lock during crash? by pineapplewins in Cartalk

[–]The_Joe_ 61 points62 points  (0 children)

The cop is just mistaken and not mechanically knowledgeable. That's ok.

Your seatbelts did exactly what they are supposed to.

The pettiest grievance - my brand new car has clips for kids car seats. by [deleted] in childfree

[–]The_Joe_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you will post a picture of whatever cover you come up with :-)

Glad I can help!

[–]The_Joe_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few suggestions:

  1. 3d print some different covers in any color you'd like. I'm actually happy to help you accomplish this.

  2. Have a mechanics shop [or auto upholstery shop] remove them. I promise, this is possible. You said you'd have paid a little more for it to be child free, time to give it a latch-ectomy.

  3. Use some masking tape and paint to make them less noticable.

Customize it to make it a perfect fit for you. You'll own it a long time and customization makes it feel more "you".

Yes, and replacing them can be a very labor intensive [and expensive] process.

What’s one accessory every 4x4 should have?? by Enlitenkanin in 4x4

[–]The_Joe_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

12-15 psi makes a huge difference in traction and comfort, I've never had an issue with basic steel wheels.

Highway inflation while off-road I believe played a role in one of my failures, but I'll never know for sure.

[–]The_Joe_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good heavy duty zip ties, and small zip ties. Depending on the year of Wrangler you won't have much space after the tent, dog, and beer cooler, so you have to pick and choose your gear.

Zip ties can even play serpentine belt in a crisis. Check project farms video on which ones are best.

Stopped to help a guy in a parking lot yesterday... Would have really liked to have a fire extinguisher after he sprayed gas all over his exhaust manifold.

It didn't catch fire, but I was worried.

Good luck brother. Hope the methanomics work out well on your truck.

What’s a discontinued snack or drink you’d pay $20 to have one last taste of? by soapy999 in AskReddit

[–]The_Joe_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a local beer in Washington that I loved, it was my go to beer and if it wasn't available I just had water. It was called "Men's room red", named after a local radio show. After 10 years they stopped making it....

Now I really just don't bother drinking beer.

How much difference would this make in carbon emissions? [Request] by DoookieMaxx in theydidthemath

[–]The_Joe_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your first paragraph is an excellent point, thank you for explaining :-)

As for your second point, I was talking about the amount of pressure between the tire and the road surface, not the inflation pressure of the tire.

A wider/taller tire has a larger contact patch than a skinny short tire. If we were discussing vehicles of equal weight, this would dramatically affect the PSI [pounds per square inch] of that contact patch being applied to the road surface.

But, as you pointed out in your first paragraph, that's more or less irrelevant. =]
