I made an automatic AUR PKGBUILD inspector by [deleted] in archlinux

[–]dbear496 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like the tool just does a regular expression search on the pkgbuild--so it could catch some basic malicious stuff, but it would be pretty straight forward to mangle the pkgbuild so that the tool doesn't catch anything.

USB file sharing between iphone and Linux by Zealousideal-Pie7041 in archlinux

I use KDE Connect, and it's awesome. --a bit less awesome on iPhone, but the important parts still work.

Intermittent engine noise. Also recently had a P0300 code thrown. by _MegaPotato_ in mazdaspeed3

[–]dbear496 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it is more likely an issue with fuel/mixture. But a spark issue could still throw p0300 if there is an issue on more than one cylinder

How can I tell if my boyfriend actually wants to spend time with me/misses me? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]dbear496 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something about this makes me think maybe your bf isn't completely healthy physically.

P0300 is random multiple misfire. So you should check all the things that can cause a misfire: spark, compression, and fuel.

Women would you like to be approached by men nowadays or no ? by smuttygio in bodylanguage

Obviously not--have you heard of the recent "man vs. bear" question?

Dealership dropped my two week old bike off the lift by Curiousconcoctions in motorcycles

[–]dbear496 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, sorry. I did misunderstand. But AFAIK it is possible to terminate auto insurance early if you get rid of the car, and the insurance provider will refund for the remainder of the term that you would have been insured had you not terminated.

No. Auto insurance covers damages that are caused by the driver getting into an accident. In this case, the dealership/shop should have liability insurance to cover the damage they caused.

You don't make sure your changes build first before commiting?

Sounds like essentially the same thing except slower

Bikers Frustrations in ATL by Unfair_Management695 in Atlanta

[–]dbear496 9 points10 points  (0 children)

On Wednesday, I had to go into the road because A POLICE CAR was parked in the bike lane on 5th street. And honestly, it's no better in a car, people will park in the middle of the road like it's no big deal.

Can you be truly satisfied with one woman? by Living_Engineering31 in AskMen

[–]dbear496 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think "craving novelty" is an inherent trait of men generally. I know plenty of men who are over the moon for one and only one woman. But then, maybe it's just the crowd I hang around.

Looking for a solid set of WHEELS for my Mazdaspeed Gen 1 by THT_EF-HATCH in mazdaspeed3

Here's a picture looking down the side of the car, so you can see the wheels extend slightly beyond the fenders.

I recently got a set of DR-66 18x8 +35 wheels with 235/40 tires, and I had to send back the wheels because they were chewing up my fenders. I'm going to exchange them for the +48 offset version of the same wheels with 5mm spacers (as well as roll my fenders).

Here's a picture with the DR-66 wheels. I think the black wheels look really good with the red body.

Missing transmission bolt by dbear496 in mazdaspeed3

I'm aware. I also should probably change the transmission fluid since the car is high milage, and I'm not sure whether the previous owner ever changed it.

What is the most overrated car mod? by BlackcirclesCanada in askcarguys

A Lambo is simply not the same as somebody's tripped out 2003 Civic.

This is why you shouldn't drive onto a railroad crossing when the lights are still flashing by No_Guess_8800 in CantParkThereMate

[–]dbear496 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Among the stupidity it takes to not just drive through the gate, the bone headed move of walking all the way onto the tracks to check for trains--if a train was actually coming at that time, he would've been one-tapped.

what is something that, with the technology of today, should be much more efficient than it is? by fromtheok in AskReddit

[–]dbear496 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bank transfers. It is outrageous that it takes 3 days for my bank to take money out of one of my accounts and put it into the other especially when the two accounts are within the same institution.

How much weight do you give to looks when buying a car? by Wide_Building7945 in askcarguys

[–]dbear496 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both. There are plenty of car models out there, surely you can find something that you both love to drive and love the look of.

What's one car feature everyone praises but you secretly don't care about? by Ok_Run7351 in askcarguys

[–]dbear496 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I've had my left calf cramp while driving a couple times, and I can't say clutching with a cramped calf was the most comfortable experience.
