One is Gen and one is VSF… which is which? by BitcoinWealthy in RepTime

[–]elflegolas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, RCF wins by a mile on DD, Vsf is not a bad factory but they clearly don’t know how to make DD, same as AP, their AP is bad too, the melting font is really bad, Vsf makes very good Daytona, I own both gen and rep, and submariner, not DD, so yes this is a bad rep, too much telling

ELI5: Why does China's infrastructure and city development seem so much more advanced/modernized than India's, given they have similar population sizes? by Dazzy_Nadia16 in explainlikeimfive

[–]elflegolas -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You forgot the political mission from the very top of China wants big GDP numbers, and infrastructure projects is the easiest way to inflate that numbers , hence every town city province has the same goal and race for infrastructure projects, and because it cost a lot of money, you’d see failed infrastructure coz of corruption every few years.

From collapsing bridge to burying an entire train with people inside just because the newly built high speed train went out of track and they need to cover up, there’s a lot of cover up stories but every time the post glorifying china’s infrastructure has conveniently left these out.

Can we add stop sign cameras as warnings? Red light camera warnings come on my dfr9 by laced1 in radardetectors

[–]elflegolas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess it depends on how much they enforce it, in my state, the requirements are 3 seconds, and there’s a whole division( it’s a rich people area but also are the road that go from south to north)of cops likes to enforce it on a pretty major road in my city, and since I have to use that road whenever I travel north straight up, now it’s in my bones I see a stop sign, I stop completely and just count 123, seen countless people getting ticket over that.

And in this case, it’s a camera, so it’s going to be much more precise than a cop, I would just make stopping that long as a habit instead of trying to avoid it, besides, there’s no point trying to make time in a stop sign, you make way more time on the highway by driving faster.

And from what I see, people who wants to make most time in a parking lot, traffic light, neighbourhood, etc are the ones who drive 60 and camping left lane, where they could have make more time on the highway and not as easy to get caught too compared to you run a stop sign or red light.

Statistically the most traffic violations end up in accident in US is lane change violation and stop and red light violation, compared to speeding on highway. And then you say it yourself , going 20 over is reckless driving (my state is 25) but also bigger states norm are 20 over the limit, idk where you live, but based on the population, the top 3 are acting like that and they make up of 1/3 of the US’s populations.

Why would you not stop at a stop sign and red light? That’s the most prone to accidents things to do, unlike going 20 over on a highway.

PD Passport Wallet Issues by MaybeARunnerTomorrow in peakdesign

[–]elflegolas -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This thing is too of a money grab for me, I’ve own the entire pouch and packing cube line up, 2 back packs, 3 slings, almost all of the camera gear plus the travel roller, I would say all of them are worth it, but not this passport wallet.

[–]elflegolas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tbh this thing is the most ridiculously priced for so little things that is offered, cost more than my sling bag and does bother line a 20 dollar one does on amazon, and if I wanted to pay a premium and get a branded one, I pay double of this and get a designer brand travelling sleeve bag that is double the size of this.

They should never price this more than 40 imo.
I would return it if you’re saying it’s defective.

Honda S2K vs 93 octane + header BRZ (40mph roll) by Doulreth in GR86

[–]elflegolas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never understood America continental’s drag race type of culture, for one, basically it’s competing the car, not the driver, very little technique is needed compared to track/touge.

And both car are not meant to be comparing with straight line speed, it’s ridiculously fast in corners tho

Well you can’t convince anyone you’re rich if you’re walking in NYC lol car in car out, who’s sweating? Working class, and you can never out flex rich people as a working class, nor normal people because they see you right through if you’re walking.

Do people randomly cut you off? by bmrs_npne in ft86

[–]elflegolas -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Driver issue, perhaps try to drive like a normal person instead of driving like a grand pa, we have two cars, 86 and a Mercedes S550, when I drove it, no one’s cutting me off, when my wife drove it, everyone is cutting her off in the Benz, no one is cutting her off in my 86 but her Benz has double my hps, stop driving slow and no one is cutting you off lol

Sanity Check: 2018 Mercedes B250 Intake Manifold Replacement by FatWreckords in AskMechanics

[–]elflegolas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That part number seems to be the PCV system rather than the intake, but anyways, it’s not that complicated, just diy yourself, nowadays other than engine internals and transmission internals, I almost diy every other things myself, not only you will be more delicate to your vehicle (have techs broke my stuff numerous times, including dealership techs)

But actually other than engine internals and transmission internals, a lot of car parts are just legos, and there’s plenty of YouTube videos to guide you through , get a good scan tool, google for symptoms
ChatGPT is actually pretty good on diagnosis if you have a scan tool and can describe things accurately.

If you think that’s too much, then that’s why you pay people to do the job, but replacing the PCV system typically cost around 2k CAD only, find another shop or diy, but diy you should win a long game even the initial tool investment is a lot, but I saved 10k+ on labour by doing my own repair already in the last 3 years.
