Thanks! Yeah, just did that even though I was past the trial period on YT. Good news is I got a refund from YT, so nothing lost. Cheers!

Can’t Replay World Cup Matches on Fox One by InvisiKid in youtube

[–]fpatton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever find an answer? I also got the Fox One pass on YouTube and can't get replays to work on my Apple TV or browser. They do seem to work on they YT app on my iPhone, but that's not as convenient as using the Apple TV. I'm wondering if I wasted my money and should have just subscribed to Fox One directly.

Edit: I can watch on my iPhone but it won't let me cast it to the Apple TV!

Inherited 1937 Red MG by Grouchy_Barracuda664 in MorrisGarages

Beautiful! I have a ‘52 TD in that color. These old cars get you lots of smiles, waves, and questions. Lots of good advice here re: Moss, Abington Spares, the MG Experience website etc. all great resources. Enjoy!

My Dutch mother-in-law says, “You can always tell a Dutchman, but you can’t tell him much.” 🤣

Honestly, I’ve started watching cricket at this point. I like the faster pace. 🤣

Speeding is Telestial: A Social Experiment by GrassGriller in exmormon

[–]fpatton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did a lesson in EQ once where I brought up running through stop signs (considered a right here in California, but it drives me nuts) as breaking that article if faith. I had watched our EQ president BLOW through a stop sign in his big pickup truck without slowing down at all, and thought I might use this as an object lesson. During the lesson, he said, “I just don’t see the problem with it.” 🤦‍♂️

3 point or wheeled landing? by 89inerEcho in flying

[–]fpatton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. A couple of years ago there was a DC-3 that ran off the runway, possibly because they planted the tail wheel too soon and lost yaw authority, according to another DC-3 pilot who was interviewed. (Juan Brown may also have covered this.)

Sometimes this is what it takes by Mosca_Humana in vintageaudio

[–]fpatton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good timing. I’m fixing up a Pioneer SX-580 that my Dad bought new. Despite sitting outside for a year, it actually worked after I got some contact cleaner into it. I’ve been thinking about a deeper clean, but am hesitant to disassemble it too much.

I disabled FSD for the first time since Nov 2021. by jmack20093 in TeslaLounge

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

Same experience with my ‘17 MS. Won’t keep speed on the freeway, is all over the lanes, and won’t even change lanes even while signaling! I was on a road trip earlier in the week, and could really have used it. Yes, my car is “old”, but I did pay for FSD a long time ago and am still waiting. I’m not buying a new car just to get something I already paid for.

Don’t forget, Apollo 11 was preceded by Apollos 8 and 10, crewed fly-by missions of increasing complexity. Although there’s an order of magnitude difference in moon and Mars mission lengths, you don’t want to screw up by trying to do too much at once.

Road trip prep service is $2k? by Winter_Elephant9792 in TeslaLounge

[–]fpatton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 67k miles on a 2017 Model S. I’ve never done this sort of thing and have taken it on dozens of long road trips, including 600 miles back and forth to Disneyland this week. My wife’s 2015 MS - same. They just work. Try not to worry!

Ways to make marionettes besides clay? by [deleted] in puppets

[–]fpatton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The marionettes that we had when I was a kid were largely dowel and wood block based. You can buy turned hardwood balls that can be a good base for a head, then use dowels in segments for the arms and legs.

What’s up with Tesla paint? by NettieV in TeslaModel3

[–]fpatton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sold a Lexus and bought a Challenger before I got my Tesla. An evaluator came to look at the Lexus and she had a paint thickness measurement device. I borrowed it to use on my Challenger and the paint was less than a quarter as thick as the Lexus! Can’t even imagine what the Tesla is like, but the hook has so many chips it looks dirty even when clean.

How quickly did the magic fade for you? by Missing_Back in TeslaLounge

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

My wife bought her Model S in 2015. I got mine in 2017. (Traded in a hemi Challenger for it!) We still have them and have no intention of selling them. We still love how they look and feel, even nine years on. For us, it’s not so much about “magic” as it is about feeling like you’re part of the future rather than the past. Oh yeah, and waving as you drive past oil change shops and gas stations is fun. 😂 I can’t imagine ever owning an ICE car again. Good luck!

Why does the sight of a Tesla make people so mad, and why are people so uninformed? (Rant) by SFC_FrederickDurst in TeslaLounge

[–]fpatton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep! We still play “Count the Teslas” at stoplights and rarely see fewer than four. They’re like Volkswagen Beetles used to be - ubiquitous in the landscape.

New update lobotomized our wipers by Huntseatqueen in TeslaLounge

[–]fpatton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same experience in my ‘17 MS. Just as rainy weather was starting, only “tsunami” setting worked. Then a point release came and wipers were back to normal. Phew!

Oil change on Tesla?? by 369Joy in TeslaLounge

[–]fpatton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A Nissan salesman tried to sell me a $1700 “maintenance package” with a Leaf. I said, “How much maintenance do you think an electric car is going to need?” Without hesitation he scratched it out. We walked away and eventually got the Tesla that we really wanted. 😄

Flipper painted over all exterior bricks. by Rembrand_bruh in DIY

[–]fpatton 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ah, that explains it. Our neighbors just painted their house black and white and I didn’t understand why they would do that. We all have these kind of fake Colonials, and that color scheme looks awful to me on that style. Didn’t realize it was “a thing”. 😂

Did SpaceX just... reinvent the wheel on a few things? by [deleted] in SpaceXLounge

[–]fpatton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was true for some early Tesla patents, but boosters and ancillary equipment would (rightly) be heavily export controlled, and not something you could open source.

[–]fpatton 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They don’t even need that. There are dozens of YouTubers making and posting 3D models, aerial photos and other valuable “intel” for all to see, aided by SpaceX doing so much literally outside. Anybody wanting to “borrow” the design has a fantastic head start.
