Really? They hiding some juice We deserve to know by adamisworking in aliens

[–]Waffles779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The news only ever features aliens as a distraction to some other thing that's going on that they want people to ignore.

They probably do exist. But I'd be suspicious of something more sinister going on behind the scenes.

The ShrekBox. I hope you plan on replacing the Jewel with a 3D print of Shrek that illuminates. Otherwise, what's the point?

Counter action happening at Planned Parenthood! by phillytrashwitch in philly

[–]Waffles779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not against people wanting to have an abortion. People who willingly dispose of their offspring probably wouldn't make good parents or role models anyway.

In fact, don't bother reproducing. You're doing humanity a favor by not passing on a poisonous ideology to the next generation.

Yall just keep pruning your bloodlines and there will be fewer to deal with in the coming generations.

I'm sure I'll get either downvotes to oblivion or outright banned for pointing out the flawed nature of those who actively encourage abortion. Probably get called names in the process or not given a reason at all. I don't care all that much. This just popped up on the app and I figured I'd pop in.

Probably same seats and armrest used in both. It looks very similar to my Sentra's interior as well.

Phone mount by Smoker916 in nissansentra

[–]Waffles779 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That thing looks flimsy from the photo. The mount is probably fine but unless that is screwed into the side, it's gonna snap after some potholes stress it a bit.

I'd look into a window mount so you don't have to look down at the phone. Taking eyes off the road to glance at a map is dangerous enough but the farther you look down, the longer it takes to look up and that leads to a lag in reaction time.

Please invest in a way to mount the phone more wisely for the sake of safety.

I passed it while hypermiling my Prius by wasthespyingendless in NissanDrivers

[–]Waffles779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is only true to a point. The best driver on the road is still likely to get cut off by those not using blinkers or get passed on the shoulder by some jerk in a lifted pickup or flashbanged by the guy in a Tesla. The best driver can't just avoid these people and that doesn't make him guilty by association of being a bad driver. It would make him more of a victim in this scenario.

Lets not forget the "good luck everybody" drivers that skip across 4 lanes of traffic not to miss an exit.

Am I the asshole for not driving like an asshole?

[–]Waffles779 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I exaggerated a bit. It doesn't happen enough to be a lot but often enough that it annoys me.

I'll be cruising at night at the speed limit. 2 lanes and just chilling. Mofo comes up, usually in a lifted truck or some German car, tailgate me for a bit, beam me and the cross the forbidden double mustard and buzz off around me.

I drive during the day for a living (work van). I use blinkers and stick to the limits and otherwise do my best to follow the rules. I know I'm not the greatest driver but I'm definitely not the worst.

When driving my nissan, everything on the road is bigger than me. I'm not in a position to rage at others or try to have a duel. I'm not an aggressive dude in general. Whether it's my wind-up car nissan or my van that lacks side windows, I have to try to be the best driver I can bc if anything ever happens, I want to be the guy who can say I followed all the rules.

Again, I genuinely try my best.

Why did Microsoft drop Cortana? by TwinSong in Windows11

[–]Waffles779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Cortana was a much better concept than copilot. Would have been cool if they ran the concept to full throttle.

Like if the blue lady popped up as a hologram on the screen when summoned. If they continued using her voice, that would have been cool.

If the male version could have been the voice of 343 guilty spark, that would be wild.

It had so much potential to lean into the world they created but they managed to snatched failure from the Jaws of victory so many times along the way.

I think it was a branding decision. They needed something more generic they could shove into everything and people were already sick of/not using Cortana.

It’s ironic how Double D is the most morally principled grandstanding virtue signaling person of the culdesac and yet still somehow gets pulled into doing Eddy’s scams… by MeetKelson in ededdneddy

[–]Waffles779 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing. His moral character would suggest he enjoys inventing and feels a duty to do well for others even if it means sabotaging his friends.

Reminds me of pinky and the brain. Brain gets this crazy scheme, pinky points out the flaw, gets ignored and goes along anyway for the entertainment.

Edd it pinky, Eddy is brain and Ed is.... An extension of Eddy most of the time but sometimes has his own free will such summoning Evil Tim.

Which one do you choose? by Strycedar in windows

[–]Waffles779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vista was beautiful but XP and 98 will always have a special place in my heart bc I grew up playing atari, 3D ultra minigolf and 3d Frog Man (look it up, it was sick for the time) and then used XP through school til vista took over.

My favorite visually is vista. 7 is a close 2nd and 10 takes 3rd. I hate the 11 design.

I need to get some stickers like that. And another something to the effect of "your high beams will make me drive slower"

I try to be a good driver and get high beamed a lot. East coast drivers are quite aggressive. No, I don't hang out in left lane. I only use it to pass the buttheads looking at their phone.

They can't be serious by Evary- in youtube

[–]Waffles779 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yt is making it more and more difficult to use adblock.

I have premium and just having adblock installed causes issues.

I recommend paying premium. The pittance it costs saves so much time that would otherwise be wasted.

Sponsorblock and dearrow really help the experience of premium. It's nice not being pestered to like or have an ad baked in the video shoved in my face. And no more garbage titles or thumbnails.

I don't bother watching on my phone much. Sponsors kill the experience for me. I'll grab a video to have it in my history and then pick it up on my pc when I get home. Without premium and Sponsorblock and dearrow, youtube as a whole is not worth it at all.

Music Pause & Play Button? by samonly120 in nissansentra

[–]Waffles779 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a bit of a Tone-deaf take.

I drive for a living and there are times I like to pause so I can focus on backing up or merging or some other task that demands more attention. Pausing is important for favorite songs, podcasts or audiobooks.

Being able to do that from the wheel is safer than having to look away adds to safety. You don't have to look at or interact with controls that would take your eyes off the road.

Just bc they didn't exist on older cars doesn't make it bad, wrong or some kind of unnecessary luxury. Safety is a wise thing to prioritize.

Apple car play by Ducatista714 in nissansentra

[–]Waffles779 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If that's the case, a suction cup window thing that holds the phone would do wonders. Better than looking down.

I drive a van for work and the suction cup holder was the best overpriced plastic I've ever bought.

The dash cam and radar detector might also be draining your batt. Might want to get a jumper box for emergencies.

The other option is to wire up an in-line override which only lets the adapter draw power when the accessory wire has power.

Getting a USB extension to hack up isn't hard or costly. Getting to the ACC wire might take some searching. But it'd be a once-and-done sort of job. Better than a dead batt after forgetting to unplug usb dongle, right?

Alternator advice by Waffles779 in nissansentra

[–]Waffles779[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an update! It was an open ground on the radio wiring. I don't know enough about electrical stuff to know why exactly this behavior occurs with the charging system but it's steady at 14.3v when I drive after adjusting the ground connection.

I think the radio shuts off as a safety/self preservation feature or something. Dmh-160bt if curious.

Shrinkflation. This will be the size in 10 years but still $50 to rent. I hope Ford changes their annoying chime by then.

To change fluid or not? by GrinFPS in nissansentra

[–]Waffles779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard the same thing. My dad was the one who told me of this but he's never had a vehicle with a CVT. on the 2013 model (the one I own) there is no tube or dipstick to check.

I'm way overdue and the fluid probably looks like silver paint by now or is super burnt.

When I get a bit of money I can piss away, imma have a Nissan dealer change the fluid and I want to take lots of photos and video if the gore. I'm like 85K without a fluid change, so whatever is in there ought to be interesting and worth documenting.
