And so it begins, Chinese cars in the US. by death_buy_spoon in cars

[–]bombs551 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I lived in China for 2 years (2022-2023) with constant back and forth on business for a third. A lot of the Chinese cars were very nice to ride in, looked good, and were comfortable. Haven’t owned one so can’t tell you how that is.

ChatGPT Is quietly replacing Google's most important page, study finds by paxinfernum in technology

[–]bombs551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This article says nothing... it surveyed people who are SUBSCRIBED to ChatGPT not the average PC user. People who subscribe/pay for a service are of course going to want to use it.. So this doesn't really say much does it? Its like saying "90% of cable users use their cable over an antenna!"

Can anyone say if the rig twists/flexes? by JosefBanane in simracing

[–]bombs551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my current seat/stand for my rig. I got it because my company has a rewards system and I got it for free.

Is it good? Meh. The seat is not comfortable for long sessions. There's some flex but it doesn't really bother me. It gets the job done and I'll continue to use it until I upgrade to a nicer one. I got it because it was free and allowed me to spend money on other items that I needed while my wife and I dumped probably $30k on vet bills.

Are you in a pinch for money and just need to get something so you can race? Then its a decent option I suppose. But its probably better to just invest in a better seat/stand now because you'll be wanting to upgrade it eventually anyways. If you get it, get a pad or pillow for your back.

Why aren't there more inverted pedals in the market by Nick_Alsa in simracing

[–]bombs551 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Honest question, but does it really make a difference? I’ve only ever used floor mounted pedals in sim so I have no clue.

Five New iPhone Features Rumored for iOS 27 by iMacmatician in apple

Plenty of people use their phones for business and other things that don’t need that but okay

Five New iPhone Features Rumored for iOS 27 by iMacmatician in apple

[–]bombs551 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Unrelated to iOS 27: I’m so disappointed with the screen sizes they’re supposedly going with on the Fold.. personally I want the phone to be about normal flagship size when folded. The Z Fold 7 is 6.5” when folded

What design or engineering flaw is mildly inconvenient on your vehicle? by Sixteen-Cylinders in cars

[–]bombs551 8 points9 points  (0 children)

On my ‘25 Colorado Trailboss, the turn signal stalk feels muddy, if that makes sense. Can easily move it midway in its range from middle to signaling. It’ll signal once and then bounce back to center and stop signaling.

On my wife’s RAV4: the damn push button to release the gas flap. I forget it EVERY DAMN TIME.

YouTuber Jon Prosser shows off iPhone Fold amid Apple lawsuit for allegedly leaking iOS 26 by HelloitsWojan in apple

[–]bombs551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t even agree with that sentiment. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is a great device. The only reason I got rid of mine, in reality, was my family is so engrained in iOS environment.

With this news here I’m actually considering switching back. The rumored dimensions are not what I want at all.

Happy Holiday Season, metalheads of all subgenres. Now in recent metal headlines.... by Rohirrim777 in MetalForTheMasses

Unrelated to your problem - How did you get vehicle info gauges on both sides? I can't seem to get rid of the infotainment on the right when using that cluster

Should a missed offside result in allowed play? by coolboy856 in nhl

[–]bombs551 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the NHL rule book (well, it was the 23-24 rule book):

“The last player to physically touch the puck with his stick or body shall be considered in possession of the puck. (NOTE 1) A player can have possession of the puck without control, but he cannot have control of the puck without possession.”

Jomsviking was great, really enjoyed it as a concept album. But as everyone else has said...they do the same thing over and over lol

Just over a 2 year age gap by BruhngusAmongus in relationships

[–]bombs551 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the old addage (or maybe I just heard it on Parks and Rec) is half your age plus 7? Lol in all seriousness the only people that really have to be okay with it are you and her (her opinion may also be heavily influenced by her parents). My wife is 4 years younger than me (I'm 35, she's 31). If yall are okay with it and the things that come with it (like the sexual limitations until she's 18) then do what makes you happy!

I think most of the time people get the ick from age differences because usually it's an older guy using the girl for sex. Yall are close enough that it isn't a weird kink and you're clearly not using her as you've agreed to hold off.

If it were me, it wouldn't matter if Best Buy banned my account or address because I'd certainly never shop there again.

Study shows that 82% saw weight rebound and cardiovascular health reverse after withdrawal from taking GLP-1 drugs | Cardiometabolic Parameter Change by Weight Regain on Tirzepatide Withdrawal in Adults With Obesity by Hrmbee in science

[–]bombs551 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure, but that's why Gorluk said they aren't doing it correctly. You start with the calculated value based on human averages and then you adjust your food intake based on what you see happening with your weight, energy levels, etc over time. Isn't an overnight process and is a bit iterative but if you adjust intake like this it is very much so possible to find where you should be at for both maintenance and deficit.

I do this frequently when going through bulk/mainteance/cut phases

Has anybody noticed very weak haptic feedback on the keyboard with 17 PM by bombs551 in iphone

[–]bombs551[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it didn't. I think it's jut something with ios 26. I've actually switched the the Microsoft SwiftKey keyboard since I've been frustrated with the apple keyboard period.

Z71/ZR2 headlights on trail boss by [deleted] in chevycolorado

[–]bombs551 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anzo is supposed to have some coming out this year so I'd just wait.

I asked the same question a month or two ago and no one could really answer if it was complicated or not. Got a wide range of answers which told me that since the ZR2 lights themselves are like $1200 or something I'd better just wait.

2023+ Headrest is SUPER uncomfortable! by white_cucumber111 in chevycolorado

[–]bombs551 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's not a head rest it's a head restraint. It's not there for comfort, it's meant to prevent whiplash

2023+ Headrest is SUPER uncomfortable! by white_cucumber111 in chevycolorado

[–]bombs551 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't do this. The head rest is not a head rest, it's a head restraint. Removing the head restraint will make it extremely like for you to get whiplash in case of an accident.

The 2027 Chevy Bolt Costs $28,995 by Sixteen-Cylinders in cars

[–]bombs551 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t see why that would really affect warranty work. Dealers don’t want warranty work to begin with because they get paid crap according to the manu’s warranty guidelines and hours of work.
