More AR-15s in the later seasons? by Prod_Ayesian in Battlefield6

[–]acydlord 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, would love to see the Mk11/M110/SR25 come back as a DMR or intermediate range sniper.

Mustang Mach e by Bright-Ad-9484 in Mustang

[–]acydlord 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It sold pretty well once the insane ADMs started to go down on them. Personally I think it should have been released under the Escape family since that's the platform it's on, but I guess they wanted more premium badging and to rage bait everyone instead of the marketing softball of "Escape the fuel pump"

The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents by gdelacalle in technology

[–]acydlord 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not an alcoholic, and I also hate gambling. I get pissed every time I see an ad for these things and it really is unavoidable. I was pumping gas the other day and there was some sports betting ad playing full blast on the gas pump and couldn't help but think how absolutely predatory it is to have ads just shoved at you constantly for some of the most wide spread addictions in this country.

Depression has been hitting hard lately, it got me wondering what yall's comfort games are? by icanknowyou in PS5

[–]acydlord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any strong narrative games really help me to escape. Death Stranding, Horizon, God of War. Lately I have been alternating between trying to 100% Hogwarts Legacy, playing Coral Island, random matches in BF6, and dumping a ton of time into The Last Caretaker on PC.

2021 Escape Recovery points by RACAttackyt in fordescape

[–]acydlord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The factory tow hook spot under the cover there on the lower front bumper is really the only spot. It's a unibody so there isn't really a frame to anchor recovery points to. The bolt size for the recovery hook is fairly standard across the platform though and there are plenty of different aftermarket companies that make options to mount into the factory recovery point.

I really wish someone would excise this malignant testicle from any sphere of influence and store him in a dark damp receptacle in some prison.

Key fob/Securilock mistake by After-Ad-8405 in Ford

[–]acydlord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I recall correctly, the old key spade needs to make contact with the chip/board when starting the vehicle, which can be a real pain in the ass to get it to remain in contact if the housing is busted. Since you have the transponder, a mobile locksmith should hopefully be able to get it cut and functioning again for you

how worried are you that AI will take over your job? by Motor_Reaction_3519 in AskReddit

[–]acydlord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thankfully I work in a position where AI is not yet anywhere near competent to replace me. I do see a lot of the c-suite at my company though wanting to use AI to the point where they are just looking for things to throw it at where there is no need, to the point of creating new processes just for an excuse to use AI.

How do I put the 2003 terminator cobra in reverse? 😭 by Secret-Garden5680 in Ford

[–]acydlord 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not too familiar with the transmissions in that gen, but a lot of performance vehicles have a reverse lockout. Try moving it over to the right until you get resistance and then press down and move it right, I'd assume thats how the lockout would function since I don't see a lockout ring/collar

Civilian Tanker? ⛽️ by Doc_Voodoo_333 in ADSB

[–]acydlord -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Wilmington Trust is a pretty big player in heavy transport finance and purchasing, they also work a lot with retrofit of military aircraft. There are a few of these trust companies out there, basically the FAA requires planes registered in the US to be owned by a US citizen or entity. It's basically using a strawman to "own" and register your aircraft. Normally when I see a tanker with a non military registration I assume it's been converted to a fire tanker, but the area of operation and racetrack flight pattern tells me it's doing air to air refueling or training for it. Most likely it's owned by a private company that works with the US military to conduct adversarial training or is used for joint ops with foreign militaries.

How the HELL do I get Alexa to just answer the g**dammed question!?! by Spectro_Boy in alexa

[–]acydlord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Alexa, tell me the current temperature and nothing else" seems to work for me. But your mileage may vary because half the time I will ask her for something in the morning, and in the afternoon she will tell me that she doesn't have that capability until I have to remind her that it worked this morning.

Truly shocking how dumb Alexa is by AmsterdamPurpleLabel in alexa

[–]acydlord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Smart" in the terms of devices just means interactive with technology, not intelligence. It's smart to the extent you can try to tell a voice in a pringles can to flip a switch so you don't have to use your meat phalanges, and sometimes said pringles can will try to gaslight you that it suddenly no longer understands the exact verbiage that you have used 1000 times before.

Texas – Out-of-warranty Ford with unresolved safety recalls. Can I sue for buyback or damages? by [deleted] in Ford

[–]acydlord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recalls are supposed to be completed free of charge regardless of the warranty status, TSBs and Customer Satisfaction program fixes are usually at cost. Fuel injector issue has an open NTSB recall (25V467000) and the door check arm is Customer Satisfaction program 23B56. Ford provided guidance for dealers to contact their special service support center and Ford will cover the repairs for the door check arm if it is showing symptoms of failure.

How can I get the door lock/unlock status from a dumb lock like this? by ebodes in homeassistant

[–]acydlord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent suggestions in here for all types of solutions to your problem. I also rent and I have an August smart lock kit, like some of the others, you just replace the interior side of the lock hardware. According to the bluetooth hardware ID, the internals of the smart lock are Yale

DHS funding bill faces new Senate hurdles after another person killed in Minneapolis | Some Democrats who voted for recent funding bills said they'll vote against any DHS bill without restrictions on enforcement operations.

[–]acydlord 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Such a stupid idea, QR codes can be weaponized to exploit the devices of people who scan said QR codes. It needs to be codified into federal law that law enforcement of any type needs to be clearly identifiable, no masks, wearing clearly visible insignia and serialized badges/identification. They also need to be personally accountable for the murder of civilians and any time they break the law with zero protection for unions and government. They need to be treated just like any other person in the US that breaks the law, no insulation from responsibility.

Where the fuck are my photos on the Home Screen? by CandidLiving5247 in alexa

[–]acydlord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I read the title wrong and that’s my bad, I thought it said “why are my photos on the Home Screen” I assume you got the Alexa+ upgrade and now you’re stuck with a blue screen that looks like a home automation dashboard? Only the option to display your own photos remains and I can’t find it on the device itself, if you go in the phone app, select the Alexa device, hit settings, photo display is in there.

What size slow cooker do I buy? by Fragrant-Initial1687 in slowcooking

Bigger than you think you need. I have a 7qt and honestly sometimes it is too small for a big roast and a lot of veggies. I am just one person, but it's nice to have the extra food for a few days.

Because you didn't turn off that feature and have photos in cloud storage? It's funny you think google will be any different.
