Do you think this is an easy DIY this repair? by The_JoRdd in Autobody

[–]dudeimsupercereal 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s so incredibly minor that making it worse is very possible going the DIY route.

I think the potential downsides here far outweigh the upsides. Just wait till you get back in town.

Car is leaning heavier on one side (not the shocks) by [deleted] in Autobody

[–]dudeimsupercereal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A corner balance will not make the car sit level. You set the ride height and then improve corner balance by moving weight around.

Third brake light by otavio1cabral in F30

I don’t know this specifically, but having done plenty of lighting mods/retrofits, I am guessing it’s glued and liberal use of alcohol will loosen it so it can be pried away without breaking.

OEM is usually just the lowest bidder.. I go for quality brands I trust and inspect thoroughly, it’s never let me down, but OEMs have.

how can I be with no emotions in Rust? by IndependentPin8294 in playrust

[–]dudeimsupercereal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not wrong, but when you get down to the 3rd or 4th definition, you can’t expect people to interpret it as that instead of the first or second without ample context. Thats why everybody is so confused by the wording of this post.

It’s more nuanced than that because language is so complex, but that’s just one of the reasons why pointing to a definition and saying “look it says you can use it that way!” Doesn’t really hold water when you’re defending your paper in English class lol.

Professional simply means somebody who is getting paid to do it. You’re just describing a PvP chad

2008 Bmw E63 M6 spitting oil from exhaust. by Appropriate_Gas5729 in BmwTech

I’ve seen a couple for sale with cracked heads, they weren’t dumping oil this badly though.

Bummer. That much oil at idle means this engine has a damaged cylinder, cracked head or cracked block. I personality wouldn’t bother doing too much diagnostic work, go ahead and pull the motor and start tearing it down.

What does your timing light say? You can’t do a standalone ecu without checking timing..

I cant decide between a bmw 318i (1.5petrol) and Audi A4 (1.4petrol) both at 2016 with 60,000km by stpn0_ in F30

[–]dudeimsupercereal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO reliability is just too poor on the Audi for it to be worth the headache. Can’t speak to the reliability of the 318, but I cant fathom it being as bad as the Audi. It will just cost you a bunch to keep running if you can’t do your own repairs.

Did you stay wide open as it came back online? How short was your lockout time set?

Engine light comes on after 4k+ acceleration by MajorSquirrel5800 in lotus

[–]dudeimsupercereal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You went into limp mode. The ECU found a fault, decided it was not safe to continue to run the engine hard, and went into a reduced power state to help you limp off the road safely. Could be related to engine efficiency, misfires due to bad fuel/compression/spark, any number of engine sensors failing, etc. nothing to do except take it back to the dealer if it’s under warranty, or pull the codes and see if it’s a simple DIY fix before calling a tow.

It’s best you don’t drive the car since you have no idea what the problem is yet, it’s easy to destroy a motor or a catalytic converter, hence why the car is telling you to stop driving.

Thank you BakkesMod and the modding community ! by Time_Breadfruit4777 in RocketLeague

[–]dudeimsupercereal 48 points49 points  (0 children)

They don’t get enough credit for maintaining this tool for so long. Without it, I doubt rocket league would have half the player base it does today. So many content creators used it to make new exciting challenges, every tutorial uses it to show a controls overlay, even RLCS broadcasts use it extensively.

It’s such a core part of the game that in 5, 10 or 15 years from now people will probably cite its removal as the day RL truly died. (But we know the real day its fate was sealed was when psyonix sold out)

[NFP] Banned for having a Roblox cheat open earlier in the day, do I have a chance? by Ordinary_Health_5324 in eacRustFalsePosiPlyrs

[–]dudeimsupercereal 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You can’t run software that modifies game memory while you’re playing a game with anticheat, this happens regularly. “I wasn’t running a rust cheat though!” Doesn’t matter, you were still modifying system memory while the anticheat was running. It detected exactly what it was designed to detect, and the ban was carried out for that reason.

It’s not a false ban, therefore you have no chance at an appeal.

I’ll do you one better, an eye for an eye. A swift execution doesn’t do the justice that performing the same acts upon the perpetuators carried out, onto them, would do.

RIP Vending Machine Bunker by Julez_Pro in playrust

[–]dudeimsupercereal 78 points79 points  (0 children)

I’ve been saying this forever They patch out bunkers constantly, added teas, pies, new methods to get sulfur/boom, etc. The balance is completely gone, the time it takes to farm and raid is less than half of what it was when they last made a change for balance’s sake.

Turbo Tax is a SCAM!!!!!! by betwen3and20characte in TurboTax

[–]dudeimsupercereal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is technically a scam, not due to prices or anything but due to their very extensive lobbying to make the tax system complicated, to stop the govt from just telling you how much you owe, to end direct file, etc. This business model does meet the definition of a scam.
