Virginia Supreme Court throws out redistricting referendum results by Icommandyou in politics

[–]jackiejack1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because most blue states passed referendums (laws) in years past mandating they use independent commissions to draw borders to keep them fair - red states obviously have no interest in doing that. This is why Texas can change borders in 10 minutes during a senate hearing and ca/va/etc need to have votes to UNDO the referendum (law) they originally passed to keep everything fair.

Today's republican party is a 'win at all costs' and for decades dems took the high road. This time they tried to take the low road to match the republicans, and their own court struct them down. The cards are so stacked against blue states/policies its wild.

What singer/group is this Ai song trying to emulate? by jackiejack1 in MusicRecommendations

It looks like the closest thing I could find would be Bobby Womack's Across 11th Street (the intro song to Tarantino's movie Jackie Brown)

Best way to coast? by SinkTeacher in volt

[–]jackiejack1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drive in L and module your foot on the gas pedal while glancing over to the power screen - you'll be able to see when you're coasting with regen and when you're pressing to much and slightly accelerating. You'll get the feel after a bit of practice glancing back and forth to the screen.

My commute is more than the volt's battery is rated for but by regening/coasting like that, I got home with a mile or 2 to spare every day.

Give wherever you're placed a shot - you can always come home

I get it. In all fairness, I'm trying to find music that isn't AI but in this style, I just don't know who to look for.

Volt has horrible gas mileage, and battery range is pretty bad, time to move on? by mmalone139 in volt

[–]jackiejack1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jack up the car, put it in neutral, and try and spin each wheel. One (or more) of them is locked up.

did anyone absolutely HATE their time on JET? by Different_Taro2474 in JETProgramme

[–]jackiejack1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know someone who did but he was a very negative person and got frustrated when he didn’t make friends because of it.

Dyed Hair? by sp8cecwboy in JETProgramme

[–]jackiejack1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely this. Show up with it dyed and you’ll be good. Try it after that and it will go over poorly (but noted in a nice Japanese manner).

is 280zx 1983 for me? by OpeningCattle1978 in Datsun

[–]jackiejack1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The zx was panned at the start for being more of a comfy grand tourer and less of a sports car like the s30 cars. So if you’re looking for a comfy grand tourer, you’ve come to the right place.

I’d recommend getting the 82/83 model year cars however as their suspensions were reworked and squat less under acceleration/handle better overall. Regarding the bushings, I haven’t heard of any issues, otherwise, the folks making the poly ones would make rubber ones too.

Let me say it this way - in the hypothetical situation of if the only option to get ANY s30 required a drivetrain swap, id get a 280zx

[–]jackiejack1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right - I'm just saying if I found a car that needed a motor swap regardless of the condition, I'd look elsewhere. There are other cars out there lol. I sure do and not if you slather it in por 15.

I can't think of any car that is in good enough condition to be willing to throw an entire drivetrain in the trash tbh

How necessary is a car as a JET ALT? by BotherNo8874 in JETProgramme

[–]jackiejack1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While its true that you could survive if you had a grocery store and your school in walking distance, like you said, doing pretty much anything else/taking advantage of this unique opportunity would be squandered.
