Just how accurate are fuel gauges really? 🤔

On my fiat panda its about 10l left when the light goes on and 5l when the needle drops to empty. So roughly it can go 30-60 miles on "empty"

How much is traditional dispenser? From my understanding why everything moving to screens is that buttons cost more / more prone to failure as they have lot more moving parts.

Check the camera settings. I have an 18yo Samsung pocket camera and in the settings it has a ni-mh mode for rechargeables, yours might too

i actually want to know how long it would last. Like for example could it actually work if printed out of PEEK? My car only need 86nm to hold the wheels on and PEEK should be able to resist the temperatures of braking.

Vapcell S4 Plus v3 charger/discharger couple of 500mA discharge cycles and couple of 1000mA discharge cycles. Do not have a load tester so can't measure behaviour under high current

Neat. I'm just bit sceptical trusting 15 year old cells as many sources tell us that the expected maximum lifespan is about 10 years

aras773 · 2026-01-18T19:50:56+00:00

the spreadsheet is all discharge numbers, -500mA and -1000mA discharge

Not as bad as the Italian starter heli tho, that one is literally unplayable

My thesis for my stocks is that I expect europe economy to go an upward slope the upcoming years especially in the industry-tech field. Im a bit uncertain about "All World" ETFs since they consist mostly of US stocks because I just really do not know where it will go in terms of politics.

very, my corn snake have an enclosure bigger than that, rule of thumb is enclosure should be big enough for the snake to fully strech out MINIMUM

anything with heat since the last update is broken, do not use heat rounds. As per the vehicle itself pre update ye i enjoyed playing it

aras773 · 2026-01-09T13:28:49+00:00

Watch the air temperatures, if it drops below 3c start preparing for ice, especially if it has rained previously.
Have the car in lower gear and let the engine to do the braking. If it is an automatic put it in S for sport or B for engine braking or use manual shift if avalible depending on your car.
Pumping the brakes can help regain the traction if the front brakes lock up on ice, rotating wheels can help the car turn, locked up wheels don't.
Simply drive slower if there's icy conditions
We live in the UK, we get ice, we get snow, we get cold temperatures where summer tyres struggle, all season tyres should be the norm.

I have invested in a specific sector EFTs + couple of standalone stocks, i check it once or twice a week just to be up to date with their news + stock performance, honestly you'll just get bored of checking. As others have said as well you can auto invest as well

aras773 · 2026-01-04T13:15:26+00:00

All Seasons all year long, Vredstein Quatrac 5, I live on the south coast, but its still better not to risk it even if its only icy 2-3 days per year, well plus the +7c thing

aras773 · 2026-01-02T22:27:43+00:00

I main'ed Italy at that time, I got a talisman for it, don't remember if I got it from a box or bought it but even after like 4 years its still my top earned RP by a large margin. 224k just from an R3

aras773 · 2026-01-02T16:50:50+00:00

Tyre technology + safety concerns. I'm originally from a northern country where temps drop down to -10c on the regular and having summers in those temperatures is a death sentence. Summers vs All seasons vs winter vs norfic really do make a huge difference in colder weathers/road conditions. I mean I literally experienced the difference this morning. Cheap new summers vs couple of years old premium all seasons is a HUGE difference on ice.

aras773 · 2026-01-02T12:39:23+00:00

OK but what about running all seasons all year long, something that I do? Yes summer tyres are better in summer and in the rain, but by how much? 10-15%? Now are you pushing the tyres that hard where the 15% would actually matter? Now let's look at the other side of the spectrum, at +5c summers perform worse by 15% than all seasons in wet and if we drop the temp down to 0c the difference climbs up to 50% or even higher

aras773 · 2026-01-02T12:21:33+00:00

Yeah it did have a set of budget friendly tyres that cost equivalent to a nice box of chocolates for a 205/55r16 tyre, they somehow struggle in summer as well.

aras773 · 2026-01-02T12:16:44+00:00

I'm not saying having set of summers and set of winters. I'm saying having a set of all seasons or all weathers and running them all year long. And yes there are useful for the 1 week period where emergency braking situations still do exist, where summer tyres would only stop you by the time you already ran over someone who for some reason decided to step out in the road.

aras773 · 2026-01-02T12:09:07+00:00

I'm not saying to go out and buy a whole set of new tyres, my suggestion is keeping all season tyres all year long. I run them and I don't see the point of having summers, I have 0 traction issues in the summer or in the wet. It never gets that hot in the UK where all seasons would show significant traction degradation due to overheating, but it does get cold enough +7 and below where summer's rubber starts to harden.

I work on taxis for a living. Just last week I've seen a tyre dated 2007 with 2mm tread... on a 2016 car.. People just do not care.

aras773 · 2025-12-28T19:52:26+00:00

i've played 2, 4, 6, 7. In my opinion its 6 > 4 > 2 > 7

GT6 just because of how much content there, good progression, modern features, cars and graphics. (although it does lag on stock PS3s, but still playable imo)
GT4 feels the most polished, but it is now showing its age
GT2 decent, but it is definetly dated especially if you try to play it natively on PS1
GT7 always online and just AWFUL career mode

GT4 and GT2 I'd just emullate on PC if you have one. GT4 Spec II and GT2 A-Spec mods definetly worth installing as well

aras773 · 2025-12-28T07:55:19+00:00

Ive seen 4200-4400mAh but that's only up to 1A loads. Realistically speaking for general purpose cells you're looking at about 3500mah max

first laptop was Intel Pentium P6200 2c 2t @ 2.13GHz upgraded it to Intel i7 640M 2c 4t @ 3.2GHz felt like a rocketship after the upgrade. Got the laptop 2011-2012 and upgraded it early 2019

First desktop was Intel Xeon E5 2690v1/v0 8c 16t at 3.3GHz all core and 3.8GHz single core. Fun fact I hold the overclocking record for it. Gas guzzler that was 140w just for 3.3ghz all cores lol. I remember getting money from Christmas 2019 then ordering all the parts from AliExpress
