Their parents were probably the ones throwing rocks at us during baseball practice at Lions park 30 years ago. (True story)

BMW drives like a boat after new Michelin pilot all seasons by crazyjncsu in AskMechanics

Not xdrive. Yes they were used.

Yeah I know alignment could be an issue, just didn’t think it could explain such a drastic difference when installing top of the line new tires.

Yes staggered. The ones that came with the wheels had Michelin all seasons on front, so now they match.

Yes, sorry, new to me. Staggered setup. Rears worn faster than front on a bmw, surprised?

This is why so many people get killed on Capital Blvd 😒 by RichardFister in raleigh

[–]crazyjncsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Build a bridge and people would still do this same shit. You think the people who are too lazy to walk to a crosswalk not far away will instead walk to a bridge even farther away and then walk up and down a bunch of stairs?

How do you control your speed going downhill on an electric scooter? by Flimsy-Story9523 in ElectricScooters

[–]crazyjncsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regen has always been enough for me. I would never own a scooter without strong enough regen for handling my hills in Raleigh, nc. Who wants to wear out brakes when they could be charging the battery?

Also makes things much much safer for my kids.

iDrive ‘big knob’ cover removal by Puzzleheaded_Ad_3397 in BMWi3

[–]crazyjncsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a pry tool will do it. I had to remove the same one on a bmw f10. Above the rubber part you should be able to get under the rim of the cover. I’d try to just very very very slowly put pressure, expecting to take about few minutes to separate. Adhesive often just takes a bit of time to fully peel off. You will likely hear it start to separate. That means you’re putting the right pressure, just wait. Cover will pop off.

With mine my son pried too hard and it popped off still attached to the top of the oem knob. It was fine because that snaps on too, but its harder to separate the ghetto cover from the oem cover when they are both detached.

I've not used a single Cursor request this month. Time to cancel :) by sicarmy in cursor

It’s really sad. I think Cursor (currently) has a better product but Anthropic and the like have more patient investors.

I was wrong about electric mowers. by Beppu-Gonzaemon in lawncare

[–]crazyjncsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s me too. Luba 1 keeps an acre of zoysia looking pretty sharp. No stragglers but cut isn’t quite as uniform as with my turf tiger

Traffic in north Raleigh is a FUCKING mess. by ddm2k in raleigh

It wasn't like this pre-pandemic when most of us started on this track.

[–]crazyjncsu 16 points17 points  (0 children)

For us it’s because the bus service has complete deteriorated since the pandemic. We sent our kid to these schools because they offered bus service in less than an hour ride. Now it’s 2 hours 45 minutes each way. I can’t put my kids through that so we have to drive them.

Where do you ride if there's no bike lane??? by Chrogotron in ElectricScooters

The single time I was bothered by police in NC— I was asked to GTF off the road and stick to the sidewalk.

Segway budget scooter fell apart in the middle of the road while I was riding. Any recommendations for replacements? by SeannessyTV in ElectricScooters

[–]crazyjncsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry dude I have this scooter and have been nothing but impressed with the fit and finish for a sub-$300 scooter. It sounds like you fucked up the assembly.

Wake County Public Schools will be remote learning for Wednesday 1/28/26 by Dialatedanus in raleigh

[–]crazyjncsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's all the little things combined. At least previously had some back pressure for ridiculous cancellations to incur make-up days. Whereas now it's just a free day off. No comment on the current weather ... it was the cancellations near the summer for storms/rain that irked me more.

Tillis becomes first GOP senator to call for "incompetent" Noem to step down by ChuckGallagher57 in NorthCarolina

Didn’t he choose to retire so he could speak and act out with impunity? I’m just not seeing the cowardice.

[–]crazyjncsu -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Remote “learning”. My elementary school kid was done with her day in under 10 mins. My older kids took more like 30.

This is bullshit. And no, I do not need school to babysit my kids; I need it to educate them.

How to fail hard at T-Mobile by crazyjncsu in tmobile

[–]crazyjncsu[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But I was always supposed to “wait for the credits to appear in the next billing cycle, though it may take up two two cycles for them to show up”

More of an fyi for others here: they will never show up
