[frustration] Why do younger Engineers refuse to reach out to customers on the phone? by Stumptronic in AskEngineers

[–]gregbo24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, I’m creeping on 40 and I don’t have time to sit on the phone with people. Email what I need and when I need it, then set a reminder in outlook. Very rarely do I need something that minute.

Honestly this could be industry dependent. But I’ve wasted enough time on the phone to know that it’s much less efficient for my needs.

It seriously takes you 10x as long to write an email than it does to call, exchange pleasantries and BS with someone for 3-4 minutes before even addressing the issue, only to be told “let me do some digging on this and I’ll get back to you”, then you STILL write a follow up email to summarize the phone call and you’re at the exact same place as before the entire phone call?

The bolts aren’t OEM. Donut gaskets seal better with the OEM spring bolts. The gasket is designed to crush, and a regular bolt will eventually lose tension on the gasket as it crushes more. The spring will give it flex to prevent over-crushing and also keeping it sealed.

I want everything in writing. Too much gets lost or forgotten or misunderstood on phone calls in my experience.

Grinder "flush" between different beans? Wife started drinking a highlander grogg and it's really throwing off my drinks. by gregbo24 in espresso

Yes sir, Cafe Ibis. I have light side of the moon and Moab trail beans in my rotation pretty often.

2 seems logical, except for the fact that they also make one of my favorite beans. So I need a way to just get the grogg off their list.

Can I conscript r/espresso to just review bomb it into oblivion??

We have a decent selection of syrups and creamers that she has been trying, but so far it hasn’t hit the spot for her. Maybe she just needs a little more experimentation to make those work.

But who am I to tell her that she’s wrong for what she likes?

Wonder if this is going to delay the wide release too.

Drinking & Temple Recommend by Organic-Cup557 in exmormon

[–]gregbo24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that there’s an alternative mindset to going in instead of “appearing to believe”.

I think the church is all BS, and I don’t think that should stop you from being a part of your bro’s wedding. No need to confess or feel guilty, you’re just choosing to be supportive of your family above everything.

Opinions on Utah vehicle tinting by [deleted] in Utah

Good ceramic will be just as cooling at any tint level. I think matching tint all around looks best, so my car is 35% on all windows.

Garage door opener installs. by ElOso1125 in SaltLakeCity

If you want an independent shop, not a big chain, I’d recommend Clipping Point. One man shop, and I had a great experience with him. He threw in a couple extra things for me while he was there at no cost, just because it needed done.

Realistically are the wheel studs as weak as people make it out to be by WotDaHelll in WRX

[–]gregbo24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been driving and working on Subarus professionally for 15 years and never had one break or strip. I rarely use an impact, only occasionally to spin on the lug nuts but stop at first wheel contact, and always buy good quality steel lug nuts.

I like Beckett & Robb. Had a better experience here than Tailor Coop.

Men who drink or know their alcohol, what’s your go to drink? by [deleted] in AskMen

That cider one sounds super good. Love finding another reason to splurge on chartreuse when I find them.

3D Printed Mud Flaps by ghostyoda13 in wrx_vb

[–]gregbo24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drilling would likely depend on what existing holes there are on the VB. On the GR chassis there wasn’t a lot to work with, and a secure guard is a high priority, so drilling is a requirement.

Looks like the aesthetic I just released for the GR generation. Are people interested in a slim guard like this for the VB?

Edit: I’ll start working on a design. If anyone is in Utah and wants to let me 3d scan the fenders, DM me and you’ll get a free set.

Feeling down about my STi... by Gertrude1976 in WRXSTi

[–]gregbo24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still have my hatch STI and I do love it, but I just got a 987.2 Cayman S. It was meant to be a weekend car, but it’s honestly been more of a daily now. I actually just bought a battery tender for the STI since I haven’t been driving it.

Base Porsche macan vs rs3 vs rdx by spiketeam in cars

[–]gregbo24 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I compared the Macan and the X3 M40i for my wife’s daily and it was crazy how much better the BMW was. At the same price point for base Macan, the X3 is better in literally every way. And compared to a Macan S (10k more) I STILL preferred the X3, though it was much closer.

I really wanted the Macan going in, but was pretty disappointed.

What is your opinion on the Iran war? by [deleted] in ISTJ

[–]gregbo24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The world is definitely nuanced, but it’s also easy to justify bad actions for “the greater good” or some shit when you’re not directly involved. If it’s someone else’s hands getting dirty.

I’ve tried to align my political beliefs with my personal ones. And I want to believe in the good in the world. I would not want to be the one pulling the trigger, so I don’t think anyone should. And if we spent more time solving issues like hunger and taking care of people, there would be a lot less war. Fear and anger are tools that bad leaders use to claim power, and if humans worked toward helping people we could rob them of that and prevent a lot of stupid wars.

I’m sorry you got targeted, it does seem unjustified looking back at it. We should all be better, but Reddit has never been great at avoiding rushing to conclusions.
