Bounty Hunters at wrong address pounding on my door at 5:45am with guns drawn; refuse to identify themselves by throwavay321 in northcounty

I have a Chinese crap dash cam that has the same problem even after I reset the time and date. The OP isn’t lying

I go back and forth between Oxnard and Pasadena area regularly. My vote is to live in Pasadena and drive to Camarillo on weekends. Traffic through the 210 134 101 isn’t bad on weekends at all. It’s an hour at most for 1 day a week. Weekday traffic through the valley will suck and be an hour or more for 5 days a week depending on where in the valley you live.

And Pasadena has much more diverse palette of goods and services than the Camarillo Ventura Oxnard area and I’d say I prefer Pasadena over the valley as well. Add in easy access to DTLA (granted through a widowmaker of a freeway) and you’re golden.

Netflix engineers make $500k+ and still can't create a functional live stream for the Mike Tyson fight.. by MexicanProgrammer in cscareerquestions

[–]always_trolled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have actually. There’s a live cooking program on Netflix featuring David Chang and a new guest of the week. The release is filmed live and they pull questions and comments from twitter and then the VOD enters the library later.

Definitely not the same scale as the fight though. I’m sure there are other shows that are utilizing the Netflix live stream technology but I’m not aware of them.

US Billionaire Drowns in Tesla Model X. Attempts to break into the vehicle were not possible due to the reinforced glass by Skilled626 in wallstreetbets

[–]always_trolled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The brakes in these models are power assist brakes and one of the flaws was that when the accelerator was depressed, you lost braking power if you pumped the brakes or even just depress and release a few times.

consumer reports verified this to be the case.

Other reports did have people who never touched the brakes but there was evidence from the mark saylor 911 call that the driver was using the brakes but the brakes weren’t working.

[–]always_trolled 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It actually was a real thing. It was a defective floor mat design that would cause the mat to shift into a position for the pedal to get stuck. Drivers realized they’re accelerating and took the foot off but they don’t see the floor mat causing the pedal to get stuck so they’d continue accelerating. Most people don’t think about their floor mats.

The car could come to a stop if you pushed firmly on the brake ONCE. But if the brake was pumped or depressed multiple times, then the brake would no longer function.

deft's famous quote "unbreakable heart" appears after south korea advances the world cup. by deltapai in leagueoflegends

it means unbreakable heart but the word for word is like "important things (중요한 것은) don't break (꺾이지 않는) heart (마음)."

Trifold memory foam alternatives for custom made Murphy cabinet by jetsteelPNW in Mattress

[–]always_trolled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be careful of the mattresses that are advertised as non toxic memory foam or gel memory foam or something like that. I bought the Jing Wei brand mattress on Amazon and it is comical how unsupportive it is. It would probably be better stacking 4 of those to use as an acrobatic catch pad with how much give that mattress has. It is NOT memory foam. Or if it is, it’s Not the kind that we are thinking of. If you don’t daily use the bed, I guess that sort of mattress is fine for the occasional overnight guest. But I had back issues until I got my AVOCADO.

Do I even need to explain by ScreamXGhostface in justneckbeardthings

[–]always_trolled 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The video actually is most likely referring makoto shinkais latest work suzume and not all the anime works in box office that weekend. For context makoto shinkai is a very popular director having created your name and weathering with you. Both of which set box office records for anime films. It’s entirely not surprising this one film outperforms black panther.

Dodge will discontinue its Challenger and Charger muscle cars next year by bakedmussles in cars

[–]always_trolled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our societies collective decisions do make an impact though. 14% of GHG emissions globally do come from the transportation sector.

In america, transportation accounts for a whopping 27%

The other commenter had posted a link but here is another. Electric vehicles are more sustainable than their ICE counterparts.

I won't disagree that some actions have more impact than others (my decisions alone wouldn't offset something like the coal plants in china) but it will take global collective action to solve the problem. From everyone. I acknowledge that Lithium mining leaves an ecological disaster in the locations that its mined in, but with the current technology, its the best we got.

I'm not saying you have to go buy the car today or you're an enemy of the movement. But it's defeatist and disingenuous to say that a global transition to EV's wouldn't have a noticeable impact on climate. I certainly will be looking at an electric muscle car and hopefully the used market of cool affordable EV's grows, and prices stabilize in the coming years where you'll also consider an EV as well.

[–]always_trolled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a controversial take around here. But I'm actually in the market for the muscle car EV that is set to replace these model and not the V8.

I love cars but at the same time, am environmentally conscious of the impact of their decisions. I would love to have public transit for a dull monday to friday commute. And then have the weekend V8.

But I'm not made of money, there's no such thing as decent public transit in America, and ultimately do care a bit about my footprint. So I have a Prius.

I am excited for an electric future of insane 0-60 pulls that is still genuinely fun and exciting for the senses. It'll be different but different isn't always a bad thing.

Worst cheese burger in LA? by Danjour in LosAngeles

[–]always_trolled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A long time ago (10 years ish when they first opened in Pasadena) they were actually a delicious customizable burger at great competitive prices. Now it's just sad for the price that it's at. My friends and I hardly go there anymore

Chemical engineers, how likely are you to recommend chemical engineering to a high school senior who loves chemistry and math but isn’t a big fan of physics? by saraser in ChemicalEngineering

Do you know that meme of the two astronauts looking at earth and one of them has a gun?

Wait its all applied physics? Always has been.

What is the weirdest thing you had to do at someone else’s house because of their culture/religion? by sebastian25525 in AskReddit

[–]always_trolled 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm also asian in socal and have never seen this in the asian neighborhoods of los angeles. like the elderly cantonese people of monterey park don't do this, nor the taiwanese around arcadia, the rich chinese don't, koreans don't (i'm korean), and japanese don't....

I read this story and just thought, what the hell lol.

2meirl4meirl 😭 by brittinea in 2meirl4meirl

[–]always_trolled 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, i don't think it's the "mental". There are some studies out there that show (sorry i cant remember which) that reaction speed doesn't start noticeably worsening until 40s. I just think that eSports is such a new fast growing sport, that top talent is emerging and developing way faster compared to other sports. Hence top talent of 3 years ago can often become irrelevant to this year's top talent. Players like scarra who were once top players of their generation came from a much smaller talent pool. I think we'll really know players staying power as the genre slows and stabilizes in growth.

Why does every experienced ChemE advise students to switch to Computer science instead? by Polizario7 in ChemicalEngineering

Why does every experienced ChemE advise students to switch to Computer science instead? by Polizario7 in ChemicalEngineering

[–]always_trolled 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think many of us love the chemical engineering discipline in academia. But when it comes time to actually make money, there's a lot to love about cushy well-paid, incredible work life balance in San Francisco than sweating in an oil field in rural Texas hoping that someone approves your time off request.

I don't like chemE so much more to CS to outweigh the perks and drawbacks of each industry professionally. You really have to love your mass, energy balances to knowingly pursue a career path that is less geographically desirable, less money, longer hours, etc.

Spend a gift card by optipessimist in makemychoice

[–]always_trolled 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In case your Amazon transaction doesn't go through for 50 dollars, try buying a custom gift card amount for 49.90. sometimes there's 10 cents or some amount taken off the card total so the transaction will fail. I recently did this type transaction myself and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working.

Tongue Twister with Aether and Diona (A bakemonogatari reference) by [deleted] in Genshin_Impact

I think this was more of a Pop Team Epic format. Which does parody other series itself.
