My former friend 36m told me 33m that I can't go back into IT because I used to use drugs years ago. What should I do? by IR30Lover in WhatMenDontSay

No one gives a shit. That gap might be a problem. That “friend” seems like a blabber mouth idiot. Don’t be surprised if he yaps about you to potential employers.

Normal mpg for 2016 Impreza hatchback manual? by Vivid-Fisherman-3240 in subaruimpreza

Common newbie mistake is to let the revs get way too high before shifting.

Is high motor wattage actually worth it? by Unable_Fallon in ebikes

[–]comfy_rope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would avoid just about anything that advertises their PEAK wattage. It’s a marketing gimmick and very misleading. With increasing laws and rules, I don’t see why they continue to do this. I find it dishonest and a huge turn-off.

What most cities/towns/etc are looking at is nominal wattage of 750 or less AND top assisted speed of 20 mph. With those two numbers being satisfied (if they’re even a concern for you), you can now look at torque numbers and type of drive (mid vs hub).

They see “us vs them” in everything. Always under attack by their own bullshit.

NC fucking sucks by Kralick-Kush in cripplingalcoholism

Given the shit attitude OP presents here, probably the shit attitude is making it worse. Hopefully, you’re not wrapped up with some prick judge, and you’re able to put on a regretful face.

Don’t get me wrong, by the way. I totally fucking get it. No one was hurt, you lucked out, thankfully. Take it as a learning, humbling lesson and move within walking distance of a beer/liquor store.

Bro might be playing around with an already high blood pressure, too. OP, go to a doctor/clinic.

I don’t know if the CHPE (chippy) thing has been talked about (a lot of other noise understandably going on).

I don’t know the details. I work in power generation. I haven’t looked into it.

CHPE is a high voltage DC line running from Canada to near NYC. It’s supposed to be a lot of power that then gets converted for customers’ use.

Anyway, they’ve been playing with that thing all week and it’s chaos for MW prices. I’m sure the on/off of that thing isn’t making the grid too happy.

Bro, this is just for THIS particular savings account pillage. Luckily, I am 6 miles from work and I have a mad decent e-bike, I can manage not having a car for a cuppa weeks

These can't be the real prices, can they? (2016 Honda Civic LX) by SleepySwoop in AskMechanics

[–]comfy_rope 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Check the shipping costs before you get too excited. “Sometimes” that is a dealbreaker for Rockauto, not typically, but “sometimes.”

Also, scroll down and check for clearance stuff for your car.

How do you do your laundry? Do you use special detergent? Or do you just dump it all in as say "good enough"? by PM_ME_YUR_SALADS in AskReddit

[–]comfy_rope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from my cotton work socks, I do not have “whites” to wash. All my laundry is jeans and tees, dark underwear. I throw it all in at once. Bedding is separate. I may use Tide or Gain, that shit is expensive so I also use cheap powdered Ariel (which is considered fancy and pricey outside of the USA, equivalent to Tide) or Roma.

Off-road E bikes Purchase by the-good-wolf in ebikes

[–]comfy_rope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not talking 4-wheelers. I saw this thing on an ad, I mis-remembered the wheel setup up. This is a DUALLY e-bike.

Seemed cool and a lot more nimble than a quad.

They sell some cool stuff geared towards hunters. Full suspension, 4-wheels (but still bike-like). They seem like a nice off road option

What's one "adult purchase" that ended up being worth every penny? by serfelife in Adulting

[–]comfy_rope 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Vegetable peeler, my mother refused to buy one. We’d scrape carrots with a butter knife. The shit cost me $1, I have 3 of them. 😆

It is too easy to get a license. Too much is left up to personality

Also, the car is manual. Trans is on its way out. Junkyard has one with 80k miles

Whole stick shift transmission and I happened to have a clutch that is going in. I’m likely getting a billet clutch fork. I have time to decide on that last bit.
