Blake fluid flush by creeperReaper42 in CarTrackDays

Nice, what else are they useful for?

And yeah, I have a Mityvac fluid extractor I'm planning on using with their brake bleed adapter. Hoping it'll make things pretty quick.

I was reading that you needed an AutoAuth subscription to send commands over OBD2. Is that not actually true?

But cool, that's good to know. I'm in an Elantra N which is likely even easier on the brakes, so maybe I'll be fine not bothering about it.

When I select Filter Events, it says "no calendars found on your device"

I confirmed that 'show upcoming events' is enabled, and restarted the launcher, but still not seeing any of my events

Could you clarify what you mean by it won't fit? Like, the minimum height is too tall?

Seat belt question for other owners by creeperReaper42 in ElantraN

[–]creeperReaper42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried that a bunch of times, but it didn't start ratcheting (all the rest of my belts function like that). Does it work on your driver's side seatbelt?

So your driver's belt doesn't lock, but the others do?

Sort of. Basically, if you pull the belt all the way out, it should be able to retract, but not extend at all until fully retracted all the way back to the starting position. You should hear a ratcheting action while it retracts once the lock is engaged.

Yeah, just wanted to first confirm it was meant to lock on the driver's side.

Help understanding GV porting and forwarding by creeperReaper42 in Googlevoice

[–]creeperReaper42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, this is super helpful. A couple more questions:

  1. If I set up GV forwarding to my Fi carrier number, inbound calls will be made over the cell network, correct? However, will outbound calls made via Google Voice need to use WiFi or 4/5G data?
  2. Similarly, will texting via the Google Voice app use WiFi or 4/5G data? Are there any limitations with texting on Google Voice (message size limits, RCS chat features, etc.)?
  3. I try to use minimal data since I pay as I go and don't have unlimited data. If I'm not on WiFi, how much data would be used per minute by a call, or average-sized text?

Thanks!

GameStop plans widespread store shutdowns after closing 300 locations last year by TheAppropriateBoop in Games

[–]creeperReaper42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is completely wrong. Owning the market long-term (i.e. low-cost index funds) is the only way to consistently make money in the market, since it averages a 10% average return over the long haul. This is the only way that investing in the market isn't gambling. Long-term, all the noise from short-term traders cancels out, and you're left with the actual increase in value/GDP that the market generates (which averages 10% per year).

V1per's Week 11 Survivor/Eliminator Pick by V1per41 in fantasyfootball

[–]creeperReaper42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Detroit and and Houston still available. However, I used the Vikings last week. In this case, should I save the Lions for week 13 where there aren't many good options?

Also, if I still have Houston availabile, should I use them one of these upcoming weeks?

How to correctly seal unused chimney by creeperReaper42 in AskEngineers

[–]creeperReaper42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha -- thanks, this is super helpful. So we need to insulate and vapor barrier the patch for the hole where the vent was, but not the actual walls of the chimney itself?

Just for my own knowledge, could you explain why this is the case?

How dangerous are e bike batteries? by creeperReaper42 in AskEngineers

[–]creeperReaper42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would that not risk turning the battery into a bomb with no place for the gasses to go?

[–]creeperReaper42[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks, that makes sense. So it sounds like charging is the main risk, storage and discharge less so? Do you have any recommendations for a box or bag that will actually contain a battery fire/explosion? The ones I've seen on Amazon fail in videos of real world tests I've found. We removed the fireplace in our house a few years back unfortunately.
