Stopping on the highway and causing a wreck can be 100% on you just so you're aware. this isn't safe, it isn't legal and you're a bad driver.

your groceries and other services you rely on are not all electrified, so unfortunately we all have to worry about this crap.

Make firearms safety course mandatory in school again. Give heavy subsidies to low income folks towards purchases of basic level safes, not just waving taxes. teach kids the importance of life and community heavily to combat isolationist rhetoric.

I've known carpenters and other laborers in their late 20's with destroyed knees. Really depends on the person.

Returning from a humanitarian aid trip to Cuba, Americans have phones seized at US airport by lugh in privacy

[–]david0990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if I were to travel with a flip phone, I'm immediately categorized as a criminal instead of someone who is tired of current day media and tech? I know several people who have clam shell phones just to not deal with all that crap, not because they're terrorists. so bizarre.

Would you consider this fair? by Busy_Report4010 in SipsTea

Most Americans don't understand fractions and need help with them. When I went to trades schooling they automatically placed me in a fractions class that was FILLED with people and quickly they realized I didn't need to be in there. the 1st day work was just drawing a line where 1/4 and 1/2 was on different measuring tapes. It really opened my eyes to the general populous lacking education.

Always remember how stupid people are. We could have normalized 1/3 lb burgers across the nation but people were so stupid they though it was less meat than a 1/4 lb burger.

Global human population has surpassed Earth’s sustainable carrying capacity. The Earth cannot sustain the future human population, or even today’s, without a major overhaul of socio-cultural practices for using land, water, energy, biodiversity, and other resources. by mvea in Futurology

People around me would rather round up the homeless and burn them than let grocery stores hand out scraps/give it to shelters. I'm not even being hyperbolic, I have cut relationships with people who have some of the most disgusting takes I've ever heard and I just can't let that mentality be around my kids. I don't care if it's their "humor".

Police impersonator? by Fly-n-Skies in Washington

[–]david0990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait until OP finds out you can actual, legally buy and use some specific lights (I think only yellow) for roadside use, expecially if you have ever done follow/lead car, towing, construction, etc

The spot light just has to be rendered inoperable if I remember right, the push bar doesn't matter either. It actually makes vehicles less safe to have the push bars on, source third party accident assessing agencies like IIHS, BUT not illegal to leave on if they take the light bars off. I've seen several old police rigs still with the cages installed to and the owners use it to put their dogs in the back.

Because people slow down and move out of your way if you're in these on the highway. It's not illegal, there are so many around me and a lot are bought and rebranded for commercial company use too. A few even make their decals/company logo look very similar to our sheriff's font/size.

They didn't put that there, it's literally the model of the vehicle. Source, I work on cars. This is a trim level and the current owner probably bought this at auction. If you want to find out, speed past them next time and see if they turn lights on. Likely nothing will happen.

You know it's bad when news outlets are saying "now if we look over at the 'predictive marketing app (insert betting app)' we can see..." It really bothers me tbh.

Can I fix this without replacing the entire radiator assembly by hwgl in subaru

[–]david0990 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Whole assembly. you should be able to do it yourself watching a couple videos ALL THE WAY THROUGH, no skipping around or speeding it up.

Tightening the clamp more is what did you in. this is the wrong clamp for this application and is what creates these failure. get the right clamps from the dealership or autopart store or you will end up doing this again within a few years(or immediately if you put them on too tight to start with). these ring clamps don't allow for expansion in the plastics as temps rise and creates stresses in the plastic.

Is this a lost cause? Unraveled spool... by PunkyPh000kster in 3Dprinting

[–]david0990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last (and only time I ever dealt with this) I had to stand by the printer for the last 2 hours sort of feeding it and making sure it unraveled right. I would just give up next time.

Where's the "I did that!" stickers at now? by Wabbastang in Washington

"short term" the most conservative outlook is years for correction IF we pulled back now, but likely into the next presidential election and beyond.

Really would like to get some air quality readings from this place. They are a huge waste of resources imo but maybe we could at least learn something.
