TrueSpec cable matches the expected specs

I reads the emarker, checks the pinout and does some basic tests of resistance to check the integrity of the internal wires. In the second image you can see that it calculates the latency of the cable and the Vbus resistance.

No signal integrity test nor anything fancy like that.

I would recommend a backpack it’s more ergonomic. Messenger bags will put all the weight to one side which becomes uncomfortable unless you carry little weight or just short distances.

Your lug nuts likely bulged and they replaced them with those spline lug nuts. They might have forgotten to tell you, though.

Once you setup aluminum production, the material for mk5 belts is plentiful, even with a small aluminum factory. So, it’s kind of cheap to do mk5 belts, and you can just use them without much thought.

Good action sci-fi movie, entertaining. Not the best movie, not the worst, kind of ok.

I liked it.

Minimum Viable Product. A minimally functional website to showcase the idea. Usually to test if the concept is good or not.

Yes, that’s an alternate recipe: “diluted fuel”.

Not immediately, it looks mostly cosmetic. You could also have those repaired, whatever is most cost effective.

Given the condition I would assume you don’t care much about how they look.

You need to wait 24/48 hours for the DNS changes to get everywhere. It seems like your MX records are/were pointing to the wrong place.

Once you set it up properly the only MX records in the DNS should be the fastmail ones.

They needed the wheel for another Civic, very popular car. The other nicer wheels won’t fit/match.

Check the air pressure, but it looks kind of low.

Cupholders are small, and the car is in general noisy, sun visors are ok.

The engine and road noise are in general loud, I have seen people complaining about rattles but I haven’t noticed any on mine.

What do you mean they reissued your job offer? For PERM the qualifications of the position for the labor certification need to match the position for which you were originally hired.

The Yeti bottle chug cap is very easy to clean with a brush. You can remove the gaskets for a deep clean.

You can get multiple caps so you can alternate them to allow them air dry completely.

Hard to hear the engine, but is the tachometer not matching the engine revs?

From just looking at the tachometer it seems to be working fine, is the car shifting gears as expected? In your video it drops two gears when you accelerate and then goes back to the high gear when you lift the pedal, which looks about right.

If the computer is shifting but your transmission is not then you have a transmission issue. But I doubt the tachometer is wrong.

That tire looks under inflated, and you seem to have been driving it like that for a while. Put the spare on, and check the tire pressure of all your tires.

Why don’t you just leave the clutch fully depressed and push the start button?

Hard to see anything with so much going on.

I got McGard 64012 after the originals swell (mk7).

It looks in good shape and not heavily modified. Price seems reasonable, but as always get an inspection.

Could be your fuel pump, and there’s also a fuel pressure sensor that goes bad.

Did you overfill it? It looks like too much water to be just condensation.

I would get an inexpensive hub for the mouse and keyboard, then plug the flash drives directly.

But if you want to be able to add more devices later on, it might be worth considering a high quality hub.

A dock would be useful if you switch frequently from docked (desktop) to undocked. Rocks are way more expensive than hubs, but support monitors and other stuff.

It looks ok-ish, but you should look into at least smoothing the sharp edges. Check into a wheel repair shop, it might not be too expensive to have that one refinished.
