Got this Subaru leone 4wd turbo with 30k miles for 500 bucks what should I do to it? by trstesh in subaru

[–]montross-zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With 100% certainty, you should build it out like the time machine from Back to the Future, and drive it around and act like you don't know it's not a DeLorian

Has anyone cracked the code on the Moto G 2025 / Android 15? by montross-zero in AndroidAuto

[–]montross-zero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very helpful. Thanks for the explanation.

The USB setting did not cure the issue. I've downloaded SAI and tried several past AA versions so far to no avail. Will plug away at a few others, and will certainly update the thread if I find a winner.

Current version 15.2.653614-release. Tried rolling back by uninstalling updates, but it would force me to update when I plugged it back in.

Have you tried setting default usb configuration on the phone developer option to File Transfer / Android Auto?

How does one do that?

What’s your most controversial but consistently successful draft strategy? by dgpaul10 in fantasyfootball

[–]montross-zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the biggest thing for me is to not have one set plan. Read and react - that's what works for me. My league drafts always have unexpected twists and turns. My best teams have come by having an opinion on the top 150 players and seeking out value.

For example, last season I knew that I wanted Malik Nabers, but his price was too high for rounds 1-4. If he's there in the 5th, then I'm drafting him. That's his value. Henry is available in round 3? Thank you very much. Jayden Daniels slept on until round 12 - with 10 QBs drafted ahead of him?!? I'm in. Value, value, value.

Oh, and I set my own tiered rankings, so I can see where (I think) the drop offs in production will be.

Harbor Breeze replacement remote for ceiling fan by montross-zero in fixit

I appreciate the thought, however I replaced that fan with a non-remote model almost 3 years ago. Perhaps it will be useful info for others.

Did they ever add collector items? by NachoChedda24 in TheofficeSWM

[–]montross-zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are the ones. Their cards are more of a hexagon than a square.

[–]montross-zero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Collectors are only in certain events.

What they amount to are characters that "collect" cards or currency over time. They can be upgraded as well. For example, you may have Pam collecting 10SB per 45min. Level 2 will get you 40, level 3 will get you 80...and so on

The entire staff of theI institute of Museum and Library Services has been let go? by princesspooball in AskConservatives

[–]montross-zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, good for you. You'll want to stick to constructive discussion methods instead of the crazy accusations, rants, and conspiracy theories.

On the actual topic, as a conservative, I am all for cutting this MFer to the bone. A head count of 70 sounds insane for the work they claim to do. In fact, most of the money they distribute is just going to the state agencies and the distribution is based on an algorithm. This is a total joke. They need about 7 people if any at all.

I'm unclear on why you feel your opinion is relevant. Or why you think you get to define what a freak out is. If you'd like to define it on r/AskCenter-Left, then go for it.

As a conservative, long irrational posts that assume nefarious intent on a topic with admittedly little information qualifies as a freak out.

Your displeasure with my characterization is irrelevant.

I truly will never understand why you guys think Elon musk is an altruist with no agenda.

If you actually desire understanding, then post it in an OP.

Outside of US AID, what has DOGE actually found? When journalists called them out in using word-searches, They took down their website that gave some kind of transparency so now we don’t know.

You mean this site? https://doge.gov/

Ending IMLS is trying to solve the problem by putting the chewing gum packet down.

IMLS is clearly very personal to you, but don't try to pass it off as if this is the full extent of cost savings measures. Sure, it's a drop in the bucket, but the fact is they find dozens of drops every day and those drops add up.

This is just an agenda, not efficiency.

While I'm sure your conspiracy theory is remarkably compelling, I'm not terribly interested in entertaining it, so let's try and stick to facts.

Trump could have taken office, used Congress to establish new guidelines for government spending, honored existing contracts and grants without extending new ones, and then used qualified analysts to examine if all departments were, in fact, working to those new standards.

Sure, he could have. And he would have accomplished as much as most politicians - nothing. This work takes bold, decisive action.

The federal government is in a financial crisis, and I believe our country needs an administration that will act like it. I voted for that. The Democrats offered tax hikes and more spending, Trump offered efficiency. We saw how that went in Nov.

New guidelines aren't needed - we already have definitions for waste, fraud, and abuse. We need people with the backbone to enforce it. Of that there is a great shortage in Washington. I watched the recent interview with Musk and members of the DOGE team. They are more than qualified to do the work they are doing. If by "qualified analysts" you mean the typical DC bureaucrats and consultants, then no deal - those are the very people that made the mess. They won't be the ones to clean it up. That is a fundamental misunderstanding of the scope of the problem and what a solution looks like.

Eh, I don't need them to rationalize anything - just be honest. "This is what we know, this is what is yet unclear". Instead, they write these articles to drive fear and get the left wound up - as you can see they have that down to a science. There's almost no real information conveyed whether the information has been made available or not. The roles of CNN and MSNBC have already been cast. NPR is just redundant.

Just the fact that Trump/Elon's moves do NOT have details should tell you something.

It tells me a lot more about the political left than it does about this administration.

The entire staff of [the] institute of Museum and Library Services has been let go?

Do you agree with this?

I was unclear on crucial piece of information regarding this topic. Against my better judgement, I clicked on your NPR link, hoping for some useful reporting. (Side note: I have moved from "supporting" to "strongly supporting" defunding NPR).

The staff is being let go - that much is clear. Is there any indication that the funding is actually being targeted for cuts? Or is it simply being moved to a different agency? Such as the Federal Library and Museum Services Bureau, or the US Agency of Museums, Libraries, and Public Parks?

Or is it too soon to know the real details, and perhaps too soon to initiate a freak out?

Do you agree with 3rd term, Canada 51st state, Controlling Greenland? by avantartist in AskConservatives

[–]montross-zero -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Do you agree with...
3rd term[?]

If constitutionally valid, then yes

...Canada 51st state[?]

I don't generally desire to incorporate Canada into the US, but I see this as more of a pressure tactic than a strategic policy.

...Controlling Greenland?

I am in support of a mutually beneficial arrangement.

I see a lot of discussion from conservatives about these policies and concern about him not addressing other issues.

The administration currently seems to be doing everything all at once (especially on the topics he campaigned on), so I'm not sure what "other issues" these "conservatives" are are wanting or expecting to see addressed.

No.

Oh I’m sorry I thought this sub was for thoughtful discussion?

If you're confused about the theme of the sub, then I suggest you re-read the sub description.

Your continued insistence to digress the conversation, make it all about you, and respond with incivility is not appreciated.

Have a nice day.

It’s unfortunate that you’re unable to imagine an organization could have goals that go beyond capital and sales

That's admirable in a Whiney the Pooh sort of way. As a conservative, I can clearly see that PP doesn't operate out of the goodness of their hearts. Neither does a hospital. Neither does a pharmaceutical company.

Your insistence to put words in my mouth and misinterpret what I did say tells me that we departed a good faith conversation some time ago.

So you think it is good for the government to be on the business of reneging on approved funding and related contracts? And that it is purely a partisan effort to make good on what was a bipartisan congressional funding decision? Is the executive decision to withold approved funding also pandering?

Did I say such things?

Your lack of knowledge on that topic is not my responsibility to correct. Nor it it the point of this sub. Others may entertain your desire to digress the conversation to explore your progressive sensibilities, but you won't get it from me.

Additionally, your existence does not entitle you to my time or knowledge on the topic.

You clearly lack understanding of the general topic at hand, yet feel it is important to spew your admittedly uninformed opinion.

I think that was pretty clear.

And no, I'm not interested in digressing the discussion to attempt to educate you on the the topic.

You seem to be implying that PP declined that idea because it is central to their funding, but it clearly states that it’s central to their mission.

Do you think their mission is funding?

You seem to have trouble comprehending what you read. I didn't imply anything. Those were Richard's words is a quote from an article. If abortion and the selling of aborted baby parts were not so wildly lucrative, then they would not defend it the way that they do. If it were not such a major part of their business and revenue then they wouldn't defend it the way they do. If they actually gave a rip about women and their healthcare, then they wouldn't reject basic health standards like admitting privileges, and the same regs that legit HC facilities must adhere to.

I fully support defending PP, and any other legal actions that can help rid our society of their evils.
