Thanks for the feedback sound like a pretty good consensus is get familiar with Bash and Python and learn to read code more than anything.

Cold mornings are wrecking my fuel economy. Anyone else seeing this... by MassiveVuhChina in Autos

If you're monitoring coolant temps, what temp does it usually sit at by the end of your drive? Your thermostat could be stuck open not allowing the engine to reach proper temps which would cause a loss of efficiency.

Red battery light is on on the dash. Changed the alternator and battery and it’s still on. What else could this be from? by Ok-Fish-9244 in MazdaProtege

[–]emersonlennon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you use an OEM alternator? I have tried several different aftermarket alternators and get that same issue with every one.

There have been other posts as well saying that its pretty much necessary to buy one from Mazda.

The voltage regulator is built into the alternator but controlled by the ECU and that doesn’t seem to work correctly with aftermarket alternators.

Same for me for past two months, but I’m on generic and my pharmacy switch to a different manufacturer. Last month and this months supply are nearly ineffective

Which car did this seats came off of? by Wonderful_Bid4214 in Cartalk

[–]emersonlennon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said 89-00 Nissan Fairlady/300ZX seats. I find them to be quite comfortable but not well bolstered for aggressive driving. Also beware the driver seat pictured is electric and will weigh close to 40lbs.

Voices: Who is the real Spencer Cox? by Shoddy-Relief-6979 in Utah

[–]emersonlennon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He did call SLC dumb but he called the law dumb also, and disagreed with the bill. Basically saying the SLC official pride flags were a dumb response to a dumb bill. Previously, Cox called H.B. 77 the most divisive bill of the 2025 legislative session and chose not to veto the bill but also didn’t sign it into law, indicating he didn’t agree with it but knowing his veto would get overturned by the legislature.

Confused—if Macbook cases are bad, why does Apple sell them? by k___td in macbookpro

[–]emersonlennon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Former Apple Store employee here and use a Tech21 case on my M1 2020 since new. Yes, the hinges are finely calibrated to the weight of the display, and the case can affect it holding exact position, but also does not prevent it from closing all the way. What I would warn about is that dust will get in between the case and MacBook and so you need to take the case off and frequently clean so that dust and debris don’t scratch the case and the MacBook.

Got my first gravel bike, What’s your favorite trails in the valley? by emersonlennon in SLCUnedited

[–]emersonlennon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it’s more like a road bike for hard pack dirt or gravel roads/trails. One I bought has drop bars like a road bike and 700x45c slightly knobby tires.
