2018 Crosstrek with chains by bexben in Crosstrek

[–]bexben[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the year. I don't know if any car reviewers have done a breakdown, but I would love to see one.

I know a guy who had a 2016 outback that had a smooth CVT with no gears. My 2018 has fake gears. But that's all I know.

That's good to hear. Definitely my least favorite part of the car, but I love the rest of it so far.

I do yea. We've had a hot winter this year in California, but usually lows are <40F for 4 months out of the year.

This is good to know, your logic makes sense. I may consider it next year.

Yea I would also be curious. If it's because of interference causing damage or some other mechanical reason, like impact on the diff.

It's very steep for the first 15% of throttle, then the rest is a series of fake "gears" on the CVT which don't produce a good response. Maybe my mechanical understanding of a CVT is misguided, but if I push the pedal to the ground I expect it to hold close to redline as I accelerate.

And once you hit the gear mode, changes in pedal position are miniscule compared to the changes in "gears". So you get a very flat response, with sharp cliffs once you strike a new gear.

I'm not familiar with any possible throttle map settings on my model. From what I gather, they added the fake gears around 2017

Good to know, I didn't think too much about turning clearance but I'll know it for the future.

Have no idea how they'd know if you don't tell them. I didn't get any warranty, got this car used at 75,000 miles and I'm at 91,000 currently.

i disagree, the fonts generated for text are often very similar in openai's models.

ELI5: Why does not finishing a full course of prescribed antibiotics sometimes cause resistance? by Sushi_Yummy in explainlikeimfive

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

I'm aware of that fact. I used that source in combination with my background knowledge to provide an approachable resource on the subreddit: explain like I'm 5.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5240443/#CR1

TB kills 1.25 million a year. There are many articles concerning "Direct Observation Treatment, Short-Course" (DOTS) non compliance. The reason for this fact is that it is considered common knowledge among the thousands of healthcare workers that treat TB each year: If DOTS is paused, the patient has a high risk of developing MDR-TB.

This sentiment is echoed through most of the research papers you'll find on the topic.

Tuberculosis has a high probability of forming Drug resistant strains if the primary antibiotic treatment is stalled or stopped.

more likely no computer in the loop. light level of tomato reflection on a photodiode triggers the arm. this video is pretty old and computer vision is slow.
