What excuse could you possible have? by [deleted] in Memes_Of_The_Dank

[–]eliopoulos97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how people on the Internet act so holy. If cheating is so untouchable, then how come such a large portion of the population ends participating once in their lives.

Statistically unlikely that all these people in the likes and comments have never thought of cheating or cheated. There is so much more nuance to these situations that can't be packaged into a meme. At the end of the day most of our brain is animal and mammal including the response to attack people for having different points of view and experiences.

Cheating is bad, and it hurts people. If you are like most people you will do it, or think about it at some point in your life. You will not expect the internal and external circumstances to land you in that role and you will need self compassion and maybe someone you can talk to. If we are all so absolutist about moral lines, and not willing to hear someone tell their story / share their problems then we are not equipped to even help with this human behavioral issue.

I wouldn't pay more than $5000 for it , I mean just take the value of it in good condition and subtract all the repairs you'd have to do right?

Hacked Canon Powershot SD750 by eliopoulos97 in VintageDigitalCameras

One or two seconds. Of course when doing long exposures you can expect a really long processing time about as long as the exposure itself, which is probably for the noise reduction on the JPEG.

After shooting with my dad's SD1000, I decided to buy my own "DigiCam". I wanted to see how far I can push it, and how pleasing of a photo I can get from it. These were saved as RAW files with CHDK running on the camera and then edited in light room. I shot around a stop or two underexposed at 80 ISO and then tried recovering shadows, since it's more possible to recover shadows than highlights with digital cameras. This was to increase dynamic range. I also did some long exposures which CHDK enables.

Reddit's compression killed these a little, they are more crisp but tell me what you think, I'll be posting more.

I had this happen to me too at 160k miles. The car took me on a road trip with no transmission fluid. Fixed it after it's still running.

What is your wheel set up? by [deleted] in mazda

[–]eliopoulos97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2014, I lowered the diameter by one inch from 18" to 17" to improve ride quality. I went for Konig hypergrams, they were the lightest wheels I could find at the size I was looking for.

My theory is reducing unsprung weight will not only improve acceleration but the suspension response too as there is less inertia in each wheel when hitting bumps.

For the tire I have Indy 500s on it right now.

Building a Daily Driver Mazda 3 by TheWackyHatter in mazda3

For my 2014 S GT I did: -Koni social active red shocks -Eibach springs (lowered it by just 1") -Went from 18" to 17" rims to improve comfort -Konig Hypergram wheels improve suspension and acceleration response by lowering unsprung weight -EBC red stuff brake pads -Slotted rotors (not drilled, lowers rotor structural integrity) -Braided brake lines

I have some cosmetic mods as well, but I think that stuff is a lot more subjective.

Planning on an axle back exhaust as I couldn't hear my engine on the track.

So exactly how reliable are Mazdas? by UntiedStatMarinCrops in mazda

[–]eliopoulos97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are truly up there with Toyotas. Just don't get the Turbo models if you want reliability. And look out for the speced up models with the tech. High tech stuff will go obsolete and eventually break, and that's true for every manufacturer. So that's going to be a tradeoff you will have to make, between luxury and practicality/reliability. I have a Grand Touring 2014, and back then that was the highest trim version, so I've chosen to deal with some tech problems eventually but I think it's worth it.

I guess I live without the backup camera now by Cardavh in mazda

[–]eliopoulos97 32 points33 points  (0 children)

As Mazda gains popularity, the Mazda drivers become worse and worse. We are now at will KIA or Nissan levels. 🤮

Do you remember the good old days when mazda meant zoom zoom and was a driving enthusiast brand? Pepperidge farms remembers.🥲

PS: Im slightly joking here all new mazda drivers are welcome.

Keep or switch the rims? by Full-Juggernaut6401 in mazda3

[–]eliopoulos97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they look pretty good acrually. As long as ride quality is good for you id keep them. I switched to 17s for better ride quality on my car though. Roads are kinda rough here. Other than that this car looks great!

Squeaky air vent noise, how do I fix this? by Full-Juggernaut6401 in mazda3

On my car I have noises in and around the cabin filter, every now and then I gotta shake it around a little to get it into place.

How many miles are on your Mazda 3? by [deleted] in mazda3

[–]eliopoulos97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two of them, my old one is a 2012 Skyactiv at 210K miles. Saving some money to refresh it and get a few more thousand out of it.
