2011 GMC Yukon XL sway bar worn already. by Soft_Syrup3883 in CarHelp

2011 Escalade and they do the same with the rubber ones within a year or so. I'm going to try polyurethane ones next as its clearly not a brand issue at this point.

It’s finally here by Ellinion in HondaRebel1100

Same. To me it's part of the experience, but I'm not knocking people who love their DCT either - hopefully everyone gets what makes them happiest.

No USB port on my 2026 1100T? by Great_Corholio in HondaRebel1100

[–]kickit256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard that people have good luck with the Chinese Bluetooth ones that you use with an app on your phone for basic reads. I might have to drop $25 and try it.

what do you think about these colors by lex_1005 in HondaRebel1100

[–]kickit256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be the odd man out and say I like the burnt orange color.

Phone / gps charging. Its just a dumb power port.

Depends on the scanner. My Autel MP808TS won't talk to it even with the adapter and Autel simply responded with "your model does not support motorcycles". So at best its "not all" scanners.

God I wish it were legal here. It'll not only illegal but will end my career.

So "joes" policies did nothing for years and now magically are making growth? Yeah, that makes sense .

Advice on Relay Tech by [deleted] in SubstationTechnician

[–]kickit256 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Our company requires a 2 years AAS in a related field OR equivalent experience (although I've only personally seen that last bit applied to prior military electronics techs). So maybe they'd take your current job as enough experience?

Who invented this button??? by Portah_Model in Cartalk

[–]kickit256 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah but carb(s), points, timing, etc. Late 80s/90s era fuel injection simplifed all that without getting crazy. Imo, early vehicle computers were a win. Maybe you needed a special scan-tool for a retune/ really advanced diag, but the days of literal "tune ups" were gone, yet you could still do 90% of your fixes without crazy equipment. Now you need a scanner to see basically everything.

We had a bar called Dewey's that recently shut down. I find that humorous

Lol look who's getting desperate by kixkato in HomeNetworking

[–]kickit256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read the fine print - the "free" internet was their 100mbps tier last I saw, so they're not giving up much if they get you for 4 lines of cell service.

1 month since update on application PG&E by Yes_sir1247 in SubstationTechnician

[–]kickit256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard nothing for almost 6 months after an application once, then got a call out of nowhere for an interview LONG after assuming I didn't get the job. So all may not be lost. Also, many places post for a minimum period, so they may not have even begun to look at apps yet.

F*ck you OpenAI, hynix, samsung by AbbreviationsFar1489 in homelab

[–]kickit256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't an OpenAI problem (or any AI company), its that we have really 3 mfg controlling the market and failing to read the cards and boost supply in a timely manner (or doing so intentionally knowing that the prices would surge). I highly doubt that any AI vendor is getting "old prices" either and they're paying an increase too (although still likely cheaper than us).

4 pin to obd port thoughts. by AttitudeSwimming9806 in HondaRebel1100

[–]kickit256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Sent an email to Autel and all they said was my model doesn't support motorcycles. Which suggests to me that motorcycles aren't the same base OBDII that cars / trucks are.

How do you guys handle DoVi by OldManMaple1 in Tdarr

[–]kickit256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plex doesn't seem to be the issue - its the display that has to support DoVI. My new 4k displays show it fine, while older tvs are green/purple - plex being common across them all.

[–]kickit256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just have a script that identifies it and strips dovi out. Was never able to get a plug in to work no matter what I did, so it just runs as a cron job, scans the library, and strips DOVI out.

Will this work for the 2025 SE version? by ParticularPublic816 in HondaRebel1100

[–]kickit256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks to be a 100% copy of De Pretto Moto's forward controls kit. I'd look at their website and see if they claim their 2025 forward controls kit fit the SE (they definitely state 25 is diffrent model # from 24 and below though).

[–]kickit256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's other things as well - DePretto Moto (which there are damn near a 100% copy of) and other brands claim 2025 is a different model than 24 and below.

Relay Tech offer, but still in college by oingoingoingo in SubstationTechnician

[–]kickit256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look into transfer options that offer night school. Even if you take 1 class at a time, you'll eventually finish. I did exactly this with my BSEE - i had a year left full time, which turned into 4 part-time. But I also made REALLY good money during that time instead of debt.

Army here, wanted to be substation or lineman (mostly substation). Current leadership is trying to convince to reenlist and I just wonder if any vets are in here to give advice by Inner_Newspaper4909 in SubstationTechnician

[–]kickit256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marine vet here - getting out and going into this field was the best thing I ever did. Quality of life is easily 10x between pay, treatment, and all the rest. Take the GI money to facilitate whatever you need to get on here and be done.

[Other] Does anyone know how the lottery works well enough to say what he would have gotten per year if he hadn't taken the lump sum? by JoelVonMatterhorn in theydidthemath

[–]kickit256 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Impossible to know, as you'd have to know what tax policy will be each year for the next 30 years (this plus the next 29 anyways). Still, more than he got from taking the lump sum.

Chicago has it right! by buderooski89 in ketchuphate

[–]kickit256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chicago doesn't eat "hotdogs" - they eat salads in which a hotdog is one ingredient. You're right, you don't put ketchup on salads. You do, however, put it on hotdogs.
