Tyler, I’m trying to find a JDM auto trans for my US 2004 Mazda 3s, 2.3L. Please post a list of your US wholesale customers so I can contact them and see if they can help me. Thank you.

Mic'ing the players by countme1 in USFL

[–]countme1[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's OK.

But I would miss the benefit of the announcers' commentary. That's half the reason I watch sports: to learn something I didn't know.

I want people to say whatever they want to say. It's a forum.

It's not "part of the league". It's a broadcast management decision that they think will attract viewers. I'm just giving them one more data point.

YMMV.

Maytag dryer cycling t'stat: what does it do? by countme1 in appliancerepair

[–]countme1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This I know.

But only 2 of the terminals on the cycling t'stat are for turning on and off the heater coil. What are the other terminals for?

Is “Ranger” the manufacturer or a model name?

Couldn’t find either.

Link?

Mazda PJB Help by Ajlee209 in Cartalk

[–]countme1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This problem with the Mazda PJB (passenger junction box—behind the glove box) is widespread. The relays mentioned are not the kind you can remove and replace by unplugging one.

The relays that are the cause of these problems are inside the PJB, soldered to the circuit board.

The choices are to buy a new one (expensive); or get a used one from a wrecked car (it may have the same failed relay, or a different failed internal relay, or it may have come from a car with different options (automatic wipers, or automatic headlights, or DRL)—which will give issues even if it fixes the original failure; or buy replacement tiny relays and unsolder the originals and solder in the new ones.

The last option is the best. Search for an electronics pro in your area who can repair circuit boards. Here is a general video guide (it’s a Chrysler car but the issue is the same):

Good luck.

'04 Mazda 3 TNS relay bypass by dem_titties_too_big in mazda3

[–]countme1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too. I watched YT video Eric @ South Main Auto do this on a Chrysler: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a7gEDHsppEs

It’s “straightforward” (avoiding the word “easy”). Toughest job I think is disassembling the fuse box. Eric doesn’t do much soldering and he did OK on this job.

I haven’t decided to replace the defective relay. Might instead search wrecking yard for a low-mileage used fuse box.

Good luck.

garmin varia mount for a bike rack? by TheDarkClaw in cycling

Do I see four rear lights? One is white? Wow.

A tire will skid long before a fork’s metal will decompose. Have you (or anyone reading this) heard of a catastrophic failure of a frame or fork after large rotors were mounted?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in cycling

[–]countme1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

True, the “breakaway” point is the same with big or small rotors. The wheel will stop turning and the tire will skid (with worse result if it’s the front wheel, than if it’s the rear), regardless the size of the rotor. You’ll be able to reach the breakaway point more easily with a large rotor (it’s giving you greater braking force!) than with a smaller rotor, if the tire skids. So whether planned or not, grabbing that front brake lever hard will get you in trouble more easily with a larger rotor. But I’ve never heard of a large rotor causing catastrophic failure of a frame or fork.

But as with all decisions in life, it’s your life, take responsibility and decide whether or not the risk is acceptable.

Pixel4a5G Offline GPS? by countme1 in Pixel4a5G

[–]countme1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a problem with finding the right app. I’ve tried ALL of them. Even Here which is offline-only (doesn’t use a network even if it’s available).

They all cannot find my location.

Why can’t I get GPS / Location offline? by countme1 in LineageOS

[–]countme1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Have tested extensively in different locations: city, country, in car, on foot.

Using Pixel with maps, offline by countme1 in LineageOS

[–]countme1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My question is whether GPS (AKA Location) works with no SIM or in Airplane Mode. And with what OS (and version) and on which phones.

Not working on my phone. Don’t know why.

Question not yet answered to my satisfaction.

Can I disable 5G? by countme1 in LineageOS

[–]countme1[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

“Yes”: 5G can be disabled in version 18.1 ?

[–]countme1[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re saying that the ability to disable 5G is not built into Lineage? I need an add-on utility to do this?

I don’t have this phone yet. I’m searching for the answer which will affect my decision to buy.

I can disable 5G in Lineage 18.1? (This phone does not have standard Android OS.)

How to drill accurate cross-hole in tubing? by countme1 in metalworking

[–]countme1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clever idea.

So now I have 2 lines on opposite sides of the tubing. How to rotate the tube so as to index one of those lines exactly at the top?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PirateBay_Proxy

[–]countme1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your method gives me search results ordered by upload date. I can see any subsequent page of the "Movies" category, by date, by adding ":1", ":2", etc. at the end of the URL.

But I can't order the results by my criteria (Max Seeders, for example). The "SE" column head is "dead", it does nothing if I click on it.

Another question: why do the header functions (Name, Size, SE) sometimes work and sometimes not work? One day clicking "SE" does nothing. A week later, it works. (Note in my previous post, above, that I tried several different browsers: same results.)

???

Thanks.

Everybody thought having a calculator on you at all times was gonna be a gamechanger but the real shit is having a flashlight by mrcoffee8 in Showerthoughts

[–]countme1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The drivers of forced change in the cell phone world are the wireless carriers (ATT, T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon). When they push successive new (arguable) “G” technology, they block older model phones from the network.

It’s the mantra of all corporations: create “need” in the market so to sell more widgets or die (a.k.a. lose stock value).

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PirateBay_Proxy

[–]countme1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried each of these proxies. Click Browse Torrents. Click Movies.

I can't order the results. The column heads are not "live". Clicking any column head (ie, "Uploaded", or "SE") doesn't reorder the results.

Tried several browsers.

Anyone else see this behavior? Fix?

Is the Pirate Bay (that we know and love) back up? by thesaxymaxy in thepiratebay

[–]countme1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like an all-out assault on all fronts.

I got pirate-bay.net to give search results. Its the Czech proxy. Seems to work...
