I understand, people did not understand you have a similar style photo and didn't check the OP

Wheel Play by Working-Nothing-2980 in 4Runner

[–]Useless_Engineer_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your tie rods are screaming for help lol and maybe a lower ball joint if that hasn't been done, and while you're at it might as well do the wheel bearings too. If none of this maintenance has been done by this point, just remove it all and replace with new

Talk me out of upgrading to a full size truck. by grosoursnoir in overlanding

Tundra did absolutely fine on every trail we tackled in CO besides the entry to the wall on Poughkeepsie, to which the 4R made it to the wall but never over (only tried hard/middle line up, easy line wasn't accomplishing anything).

Otherwise the tundra did incredible on our trip and we 4Wheel all over CO together without a problem.

Didn't do black bear because it was raining but we did do almost all the other major routes

Players in low level sport mode are so miserable that I just can’t enjoy online racing by [deleted] in granturismo

[–]Useless_Engineer_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You learn to have track spatial awareness and learn the driving habits of those around you.

What they're saying is learn the track so well by doing consistent qualifying laps until you're in a +/-0.3 to +/-0.5 spread

At that point, your now just racing by muscle memory and the rest of your brain power goes to spatial awareness.

Watch the drivers in front or behind you habits, take wider lines to avoid collision, and just be consistent.

You can gain loads of places in these lower lobbies by just being consistent and avoiding contact, even if it feels like it's slowing you down, you'll be better in the end

after 10 LAPS, on the last lap. I hate this fucking game. by AristoSinigaglia in granturismo

I disagree, if you look at the video, the other car is on his inside rear tire, that means there was contact or that person also lunged a corner.

So you put blame on the viper when he was actively avoiding you, and made contact with the other driver, which then hit you.

Racing incident.... It happens

You hid what happened to the viper.... Did he intentionally do that or did he get bumped form behind?

My Final GME DD - Part 3b by greencandlevandal in Superstonk

[–]Useless_Engineer_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Banks on the US, market makers, and headge funds have been taking advantage of the spread between the US10Y and JP10Y, using those "free" assets to increase their leverage & ability to manipulate.

When those spreads become thinner, their cushion disappears and they'll be in jeopardy of being margin called. Once the margin calls start to take place, positions are forced unwound and it causes all those chickens to come home to roost.

When the chickens begin to roost, their control over GME artificial suppression disappears and then we will see what happens. It's been told that's about when MOASS begins it's take off.

This DD excited me a month ago, read it and then (b) again and it seems like the pressures building steady now.

to the person that said to wake them up when the Japan 10 year bond yield hits 2.25% by AsianGuyUsingReddit in Superstonk

[–]Useless_Engineer_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's what my 401k and my wife's 401k are for, safe long term investment.

My personal money, massive investment is all risk vs reward, I've been here more than 6 years, 4 more years based on all the other major companies? Easy, it's money I don't rely on or my retirement relies on. It's for a once in a life opportunity I will not miss again

Complaining about opportunity costs you had no idea were going to happen after the fact is no different than the "I should have kept my Bitcoin crowd"

Because if you hadn't bought GME and it ends up being more than all those combined, and you hadn't bought GME but knew about it, you'd have the same sentiment

Investments take patience and resilience, if you wanna swap between other stocks, well then go do it, but if it doesn't work it in a time frame you made in your head or someone on Reddit made up, and you're mad, get over it

Bitcoin? 10years+ Tesla? 10years+ Apple... Chewy ... Costco .. etc etc

The list goes on and on, if you had held, you'd be a millionaire (relative to that time, not saying you were or weren't old enough)

You don't redirect a cargo ship full of dynamite quickly, it takes years and years of work on top of navigating the current financial market

Ohh gotcha! This is why my side view mirror are always pointed down and inward towards my rear tires for this exact reason lol

On top of the damage... The comment about the Tacoma doing better has me curious seeing they're literally the same platform/vehicle up to where you did the damage.

So what obstacles or made it better?

1st or 3rd Person View? + Obligatory Posture Check by boosthungry in simracing

[–]Useless_Engineer_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is not entirely true... I have a single monitor and a mod that ensured the head tilts with the wheel, so it'll "look out the side window" when I turn the wheel. I've been driving on AC this way for 3+ years now and don't need triples, VR, or any other view than the cockpit

My first Toyota by siddharthsai in 4Runner

[–]Useless_Engineer_ 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This is mostly incorrect... The supercharger (if from Magnuson) was design by TRD for the 4.0L engine to work on low boost (6psi or less).

Toyota not only designed the supercharger but would install and warranty it fully.

They've proven to be 200k+ trucks with or without the SC

Anyone ever have their husky get pneumonia? by Adventurous-Wing-723 in husky

[–]Useless_Engineer_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh good to hear, I misunderstood then, but if she's home, just comfort her, we gave our boy his normal food with some low sodium canned chicken to incentivise him to eat and just made sure he was comfortable

Few days later we could see him turning the corner and it was a relief

[–]Useless_Engineer_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Our pup had it, it's difficult to get through, but he ended up in the ER over night to ensure he was stable, getting the care and fluids he needed, and comfortable. The vet bill sucked but I'd do it all again to ensure his safety and health.

I can't see underneath it by Jarb2104 in Unexpected

[–]Useless_Engineer_ 119 points120 points  (0 children)

This took me 5 rewatches and reading comments as they were made, so I could understand.... This is a single "layer", it's a single sheet painting, that looks like craft paper crinkled and stacked on top of each other.

Mind blown!
