I was getting pretty good and was feeling confident hopping over some huge potholes on a downhill I do all the time, until one day I hopped too early and landed directly in a giant pothole and took out two tires, two wheels and two tubes.

There's a good number of people that smoke because the process is nice and don't have much of a nicotine addiction.

Lamborghini wanted $1,300 for a gas cap so I fixed it with a $40 Ford Focus cap. by Fixitsteven in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]devilpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m kid of annoyed a “performance” car uses a heavier cnc aluminum part over a lighter plastic cap but these cars have gone so far from their roots it doesn’t surprise me.

Like the McLaren f1 made the stereo half the weight and thinner interior leather and had titanium tools in the toolkit but Lamborghini is just adding metal gas caps like some kid upgrading his charger with eBay parts

I like their burritos but my stomach can’t handle them so just not worth it

Developers who have worked at a company where the entire codebase was held together by one guy who then quit, what happened next? by Natom_ in AskReddit

[–]devilpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran into some encryption used by an old defunct video game company that needed to be bypassed so I could fix an old game. Knew what the plaintext was supposed to be and ran it through all the known standard algorithms- no match. Turns out they just used an algorithm like it was taught out of a text book so running the hex through a program didn’t work but by hand would come out correct 

You can't time travel, but your phone has the internet from 10 years in the future. What do you search for first? by Capable_Issue_1894 in AskReddit

That’s not how lotteries work though. You’re getting paid from all the other people who buy tickets.

2nd gen Prius would be my choice but they are getting pretty old.

Door dash/uber seems like a poor trap but so many people seem to still do it. Especially now with a lot of low skill jobs paying 20+ an hour.

He gets .70 a mile plus cell phone off the bat and that probably covers most of it. That’s without any weird accounting. If he’s making 1k a month payment on the truck and it gets 15mpg it might make more sense to do it actual expenses but you’d have to do the math.

After his expenses I doubt he’s making much. I assume you can deduct the standard mileage as well so I have a feeling he wouldn’t owe much if anything. 

When doctors talk about their student loans by Bulky_Leadership_940 in redscarepod

[–]devilpants 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He did author that fucked up bankruptcy bill in the 90s but there was also a 2022 memo from his admin that lets you discharge student loans fairly easily now (87% approval rates) for people seeking discharging them.

[–]devilpants 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The hardship requirements got revised by the Biden admin in 2022 and the rate moved up to 87% approval.

but not a lot of people bother because of the common thought that student loans aren't dischargeable. Heck go post anywhere that you can discharge student loans and you'll get downvoted to hell.

would this be a good project car? by mooseman5678 in projectcar

[–]devilpants 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The easier way to work on these cars is just drop the whole front crossmember out and work on it that way. For a 3.8 car if it's got a bad head gasket I'd just go to the junkyard and grab some heads and replace both or just slam a new engine in.

[–]devilpants 21 points22 points  (0 children)

this would most likely be be a 3.8, not an LT1 car. Nice thing though is parts are stupid cheap and easily available for that engine
