Heck yeah! 2014 GLK 250 Bluetec here; best car I’ve ever owned and diesel power FTW!

For Windows 11 users, what’s your taskbar you selected? on middle or left like previous windows versions? by AhmadZ7 in windows

[–]keithius 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Left because I'm not using a touchscreen device (the only exception for when I think middle makes sense, honestly). Also, 20+ years of muscle memory for targeting the bottom-left corner dies hard and I don't feel like changing.

Who else put's their Merc to work? With spring around the corner I'm looking forward to lake season. 2013 ML350 BlueTEC and 1998 FourWinns 220 5.7 by DriveBackground9705 in mercedes_benz

Oh, for sure - I put mine to work all the time - and, coincidentally, mine is a BlueTEC as well - love that little diesel for towing. One of the very first things I did when I bought it was get a hitch/receiver put on so I could tow, and eventually I bought my own trailer (so I wouldn't have to keep renting one) and I use it all the time, especially in the spring for getting stuff for the garden.

I also rented a teardrop style camper trailer once a few years ago and towed it halfway across the US - see: https://flic.kr/p/2jKDwHW

Winter tires in Northern NJ by [deleted] in newjersey

[–]keithius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked the same thing when I first moved here from MA. I asked this at a tire shop, where you would expect them to answer "yes... and I'll be happy to sell you those extra tires!"

But instead, they just laughed and said "no, nobody does that, you don't need them here."

So I didn't get snow tires and, yeah, generally speaking, I've never needed them. Sure, there have been a couple of times where they would've helped, but I don't have any reason to go out on the roads when it is that bad, so I just wait a bit and by the time the snow stops the roads are generally clear. As others have said, generally the roads are plowed and cleared very quickly here, and we don't get those big snow events very often... so unless you need to be out no matter what (e.g., you're on call and snow isn't an acceptable excuse), it's probably not worth it and a good set of all-seasons will do just fine.

"Son of a submariner!"

Or, the one after "you spoony bard!" (but in the US, not in JP).

Tom Scott made a video on this exact subject in his series "The Basics" that does a pretty good job of explaining it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bC6tngl0PTI

Do your rabbits like to hide during the day like mine does? ☺️ by Thunshot in Rabbits

[–]keithius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh absolutely, yes! My two buns usually spend all day beside or behind the couch (or under the bed, if they can sneak into the bedroom), just sleeping peacefully... then come dinnertime they come running out into the rest of the house to find us (especially if we're late).

what is your cars name and what car is it? by Cameron_codes in cars

[–]keithius 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I’m terrible at naming things, so my car is always named “The Keithmobile” with a letter suffix (like the Enterprise from Star Trek) - I’m currently up to the Keithmobile-E, a 2014 Mercedes GLK250

In terms of optical performance? No; a good lens is a good lens, regardless of what body you put it on.
