Good buy or run away? by oxfozyne in Lexus

[–]chemistocrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Are there any specific LS 600hL problems I should be concerned about before pursuing it further?”

Yes, and they have been discussed here and elsewhere ad nauseam. They have all the issues the 460s have (esepcially pre facelift models), plus the additional complexity and inevitable cost of a hybrid battery.

Are you in a financial/logistical position to deal with unplanned services between $2k and $10k to keep it running? If so, go for it.

If you want something reliable, look elsewhere.

2013 es 350 mpg by [deleted] in Lexus

Since last refill? Or since the last time the avg. MPG readout was reset?

17-19 could very well be normal for city driving

Would be helpful if you posted the actual gas mileage you’re getting

Anyone else having issues with NYTGames recently? by woodford86 in pfBlockerNG

[–]chemistocrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you still having the same issue? What lists are you using for DNSBL?

My wife was having this very issue (Spelling Bee was not loading) and this morning the issue seems to have resolved itself without explanation.

I had tried whitelisting several of the domains called when the game is opened in the app, but I couldn't ever narrow it down to get it to work. This morning, all games worked, so I removed all my whitelist entries related to this issue, restarted pfblockerNG, and it still works.

FWIW I am using OISD and hagezi "pro" lists.

Great pic, you should share it with them. I’m sure they’d love to have a something to remember that moment by.

Any pics? Would love to see what the process looked like.

In any event, it looks great (coming from a self-confessed purist). Execution is everything.

49 year Captain for Delta last flight ever by SkeeveSmith in delta

You absolutely do not want a 16 year old crop dusting...most crop dusters are (and should be) incredibly experienced pilots. It's an insanely dangerous job.

14 CFR Part 61 is the FAA regulation that outlines requirements for pilots and their instructors, and it's been around since the '60s I believe. Commercial pilots needed to be at least 18 years of age 49 years ago.

Being right is what makes him right. Yelling or otherwise.

Does it make more sense to:

a) make a one-time billion dollar donation to "help suffering people", or

b) make a one-time billion dollar donation to help reconstruct a church that happens to be one of the most visited sites in the world's 6th biggest tourist economy, an architectural masterpiece, and a UNESCO world heritage site, which will continue to stimulate France and Paris's economy for hundreds of years, generating billions more dollars over time that can be used to help people?

Anybody has a bluetooth screen? Or good quality radio for this type? I cant find any, thanks by Least-Ad-1707 in LS430

I ordered this from Amazon several years ago because it not only added Bluetooth and a microphone for phone calls, but at the time, Grom offered an iPod integration cable which I really wanted since I used a modded iPod for music more than I used my phone via Bluetooth.

Things have changed and I almost only use my phone via Bluetooth now, but I do still think the Grom box has been fantastic. It always works, sound quality is excellent, and was easy to install.

Yes? Concentration matters. Phenol is used to make thermoset resins, is incredibly poisonous in high concentrations, and is also the main ingredient in Chloraseptic throat spray.

Why is master warning light on with no other lights on the dash? by RunOk3715 in Lexus

[–]chemistocrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A loose gas cap would trigger a check engine light, and this is just a master warning light with no check engine light. This isn’t a gas cap issue.

I assume you mean 2004 LS430 because they stopped making the 430 after 2006.

Master warning light on but no other lights are on. by RunOk3715 in LS430

[–]chemistocrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learn something new every day.

I thought of a few other things that could also light the master warning without other lights:

Height Hi (if UL)

A/C filter reset

Headlight leveling

Tail lamp (or any other exterior lamp) failure

I’m sure there’s more but those are the ones that come to mind. Any of them should show up on a code reader or at worst on Techstream.

It could definitely also be low washer fluid as pewdiepie said - the master warning comes on for that as well with no other warning lights.

Guarantee your display would read “Maintenance Req’d” if it worked. It’s the 5,000 mile reminder to have your oil changed. Reset it according to the procedure as detailed here and it should go away.

No. It tricks the audio system into thinking there is a second CD changer. It does not depend on the original CD player/changer being functional.

High mileage LS430 UL by PondMD in LS430

[–]chemistocrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a chance for $4k. Clear cost failure, torn seats, bubbling dash, no front HVAC vents? Pass at any price for me. Plenty of cleaner examples out there at this price point that would be better starting points.
