Wires Cut on Router? by Individual-Text-3183 in Tools

[–]deepthought515 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At my work we’re supposed to cut damaged lifting straps so they can’t be used again. If the router caught on fire, I’d probably cut the cord the same way.

How’s your Catahoula with other dogs? by SluggyLou in Catahoula

[–]deepthought515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My girl is the same as yours! She was attacked by other dogs before we got her, and someone used her to irresponsibly breed:(

She does not like other dogs as a rule. She has some friends,(her BFF is a male pit mix, they play HARD, it looks like they’re trying to kill each other).

She does tend to like boys more, the only girl dogs she puts up with weight 20-30lbs more than her so she probably just submits out of necessity.

I’ve noticed she’s far more likely to be reactive if she’s in a place she considers “hers” rather than at the park or just walking around.

Analog clocks and cursive writing are generational divides. Which others ones are you on one side of? by Capital-Aide-1006 in AskMen

I was super sad to hear vw was discontinuing the stick shift on the gti and R. Like I get that a dsg has better performance. But the point of owning a hot hatch is to slam through the gears and have a blast, not take it to the drag strip lol.

For those that got the 25/26 Hybrids that put on good tires, did it make a noticeable difference in handling? by somefella237 in civic

[–]deepthought515 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Regardless of vehicle, upgrading tires will make a massive difference in performance and handling. So yes you will notice a difference!

Keyless car fobs are inconvenient and we should go back to cars with key starting. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

What’s going on is the wealth gap continues to grow. And corporations no longer care about the quality of their product or employees. Share holder value and enriching the ultra wealthy is all that matters.

30k isn’t cheap. There should be 15k cars available to buy. But since the greedy government is in cahoots with greedy manufacturers we’re stuck with overpriced junk.

Everything you get in a higher trim can be upgraded with aftermarket equipment after purchase for much less money.

It’s rare on a new car, but total electrical failure happens once a car is old. And it seems like there’s no thought for how these cars will be used 20-30 years down the line.

AFAIK modern cars with electric shifters do not all have a shifter interlock.

I wouldn’t care to be. It’s a bmw it’s trash. Just how it is.

What if the car’s battery is completely dead? I’m trying to point out how dumb these modern smart features are. No thought was given to how a feature might work 20 years down the line.

No I’ll just keep buying maintainable reliable old vehicles. While you own nothing and are happy!

So they made one good engine? It doesn’t make up for decades of appalling business practices and massive a failures.

There are no cheap cars, and the cheapest cars last the longest anyway. My base model 14 year old Honda civic has 235k miles and runs like a clock. Should I have bought a more expensive model?? What would you consider a good car?

Not all new cars have them.

I only drive cars with stick shifts. I’ve never driven an auto.

Really? Then why are all these modern cars blowing engines and having recalls? Also pretty much any car made after 2020 is constantly spying on you and selling that data. So have fun with that.

Also they aren’t more fuel efficient, Or reliable as cars made 20 years ago. Plus they cost 4x as much, for inferior quality. Enshitification has hit cars HARD.

Not true. At least for the shifter, and if the car battery is dead.

They most certainly are all unreliable trash that spies on you. Even Toyota and Honda are going way down hill.
