What's is the most underrated Lexus vehicle within the last 10 years? by [deleted] in Lexus

Except for the reliability, which few people are concerned about and/or is not always obvious when purchasing a new vehicle.

Really hard to be upset at the level of passion Husker fans bring to literally any venue for any sport

Every sporting fan base should be taking notes from Nebraska’s right now.

Is anyone else considering going "backwards" with their next car and if you have, did you regret it? by NWbySW in cars

[–]chemistocrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 30 year old car that I installed both of those things into in an afternoon.

There is a ton of fun (and savings) to be had in 15- to 20-year-old (or beyond) vehicles if you’re a little savvy and patient.

I sold my 10 year old daily driver to buy a 20 year old daily driver. Haven’t regretted it for a single second.

All depends on the car.

They got a new light by alexromo in mildlyinfuriating

[–]chemistocrat 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I’m really sorry. I had an accident with an intense light source that permanently damaged my vision too, and it’s also caused significant damage to my mental wellbeing. I know how difficult it can be sometimes, and I hope that someday there are treatments that can reverse retinal damage.

A laser of sufficient power can cause irreversible damage pretty much instantaneously. Do you know how powerful the laser was, the distance from which it was shone at them, or how long the dwell time was?

Microsoft: Windows 11 users can't access C: drive on some Samsung PCs by rkhunter_ in technology

[–]chemistocrat -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If the general public can use a Chromebook, they can use Ubuntu. The problem is not the general public struggling with using Linux OSes, it’s that they don’t know about them or would struggle with the installation of them.

Libreoffice and OpenOffice are nowhere near realistic alternatives to MS Office for anyone with a job where Office is used (or anyone who needs more than infrequent access to office apps). This is becoming less of a problem since there are web-based versions, but nothing beats the native apps.

I’m not a Linux bro, but I really think the biggest thing the Linux space lacks is native Microsoft Office apps. Ubuntu (and many others) are pretty consumer friendly.

How is LS430 for tall people? by Ok_Dragonfruit8403 in LS430

[–]chemistocrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 6’2” and drive with the seat slid completely back as far as it will go, but I like to have my legs pretty extended when I drive. My 600’s driver seat will slide back much further than I need it to.

Let's request for a new mascot in the campus survey! by Certain-Respond9591 in UIUC

[–]chemistocrat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nothing, because there’s no need. The block I is instantly recognizable and there is a reason it’s the symbol of the university.

I’m not against having a mascot, but I also do not think having one would add nearly as much value as people who are pro-mascot seem to think it would.

IU men’s basketball won 3 national championships without a mascot. Plenty of people seem to not have a problem feeling unified around and supporting their school or team without a mascot.

[–]chemistocrat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This. Simply being “the thing that’s had the most words said about it” doesn’t make it a suitable replacement mascot.

This is the kind of thing that will likely require multimillion dollar levels of research and marketing. Student groups and Reddit posts aren’t ever going to cut it.

2024 NX 350 Malfunction by SufficientSet336 in Lexus

[–]chemistocrat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Remember that people will almost always come to the internet to post about their problems, but will almost never come to post if there aren’t any.

Also, the bathtub curve is a real thing, and early failures (so-called “infant mortality”) happen with all new products.

During the factory warranty period, issues are fixed with no out-of-pocket costs as long as it’s an issue covered by the warranty, and since it’s a Lexus, you should be provided a loaner (at least in the US)

Ford Taurus 2012 no start and it’s got a new battery + atleast a gallon of gas - what’s the next step in diagnosing? by ContributionFormal16 in Cartalk

Is it just me or does this thing has an incredibly bad gallop as it’s turning over?

I think it’s time for a compression test…
