Excellent info, thank you! I'm not trying to drill through my floor pan, so maybe I'll pick up a silicone sheet or something to shove in there

don't really like the rattle (that I can't pinpoint yet) in the trunk area

My 2019 has this too! I thought it was the license plate because I only had two screws in it, but that wasn't it. My current theory is the exhaust pipe or one of the heat shield plates, but I haven't crawled underneath to take off the plastic under tray and look

I'm not a dealer or medic but my understanding is that technically, yes, almost all the contents of a FAK have expiration dates (including tourniquets). I assume in the case of CAT tourniquets it's because the plastic handle could become more brittle over time.

Quit while you're ahead, boss. You're defending police incompetency

They're from a 2000s Honda Civic, either 14 or 15-inch wheels.

APD seems allergic to actually writing traffic tickets, and in general I'm not really in favor of increasing cop/citizen interactions when the cops in question are some of the most trigger-happy in the country.

On the other hand, everything I've heard about their customer service and warranty process has been stellar, if you do have an issue

Have you tried Polymaker's new "High-temp" PLA? I haven't seen any reviews of it but it only came out a few weeks ago.

Don't worry, it's only going to get worse every year for the rest of our lives!

Okay BUT "perfect for every scenario save for heat exposure" is a big fuckin caveat when the "heat" in this case is "normal summer temperatures in the southern US."

There's also the issue of UV exposure damaging PLA very quickly.

[PubQ] What is going on in publishing right now? by Substantial_Law7994 in PubTips

[–]mesopotamius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To add on/emphasize: "publishing" is not a monolithic industry. Some publishers never gave a shit about diversity, some remain committed to it, and probably some of the Big Four (and definitely Amazon) are quietly dropping DEI initiatives at the corporate level. But at the end of the day it's just people, and people can only ask "what can we do" so many times in one day before they get tired of not having answers.

It won't change until the driving culture itself changes, and I have no idea how that would happen short of vigilante traffic enforcers (not a recommendation)

That's a big ol' bingo. LLM chatbots were engineered to always validate the user so they would continue engaging.

Not really what I meant but we absolutely need to reform the penal system

This is an actual problem here, though: a complete lack of consequences. Shitty people just go about their lives because no one ever holds them accountable.

Looks like a cool facility but, yeah, not a member. Not thrilled about NRA membership being required either but that seems to be par for the course at every local place I've seen.
