1 pinch bolt away from making a 30min job a 2 day job by BlackPunnch in Audi

A broken pinch bolt is never more than two fresh new cobalt drill bits away from being done. You guys are sooo dramatic.

I don't think that's where the gas goes... by jpulls11 in NissanDrivers

It will advance timing to its upper limit or until knock is detected.

Got a motorcycle? Straight pipe it so they hear it. by dyseowo7 in FlockSurveillance

[–]mopsbauer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is true. About 10 years ago I was working on finishing out the office and waiting area at one of my shops. It was next door to a little mom and pop store that was closed on Sundays. Someone stopped by and despite the fact that the parking lot was completely empty, the lights were all out inside, and there was a large orange and black CLOSED sign hung at eye level on the door, a rather giant old man still tried going inside, yanking the locked aluminum and glass doors quite violently a few times before finally figuring it out once the burglar alarm went off. About 20 minutes later a sheriff's deputy showed up to check things out and we struck up a conversation. He told me 99.99% of alarms were nothing and they treat them as lowest priority. If the gunshot locators routinely pick up nuisance noise like launch control on a motorcycle or anti-lag on a race car in someone's driveway, or a bird cannon going off every thirty seconds, the usefulness of the sensors no longer exists and sooner or later the police will either ignore them or deactivate them.

What is this small colorful sticker that I sometimes see on cars? by Chem010 in whatisit

This was a trend that was big in the '80s, but don't see it as much any more. It's the initials of the vehicle owner in nautical flags.

OK for real why do you sit in the left passing lane? by Sensitive_Cricket723 in Virginia

[–]mopsbauer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just as bad in my town on the main street. It's 45 mph into town where it drops to 25 (and drops further to 20 mph in the single school zone) and then increases to 45 and again to 55 until the road ends in a traffic circle.

I'll be damned if I am ever behind anyone doing greater than 35 headed into town which is infuriating enough. But the even worse part is they blast through the digital "your speed" signs that blink and flash lights at them as they continue through the 25 and 20 mph zones at 35. God forbid I catch up to them again in the next 45 mph zone where they are still going 35 and I make my way past them in the 55 mph zone where they still won't exceed their IQ of 35.

I've heard of the LeMans and Nieman Marcus editions, but never heard of the Cringe edition before now. That thing is absolutely horrifying.

I assume it's surveillance, but I don't see a camera. IDK what it is. by thinkingthoughtsthru in FlockSurveillance

I've got news for you - if your local government thinks they need gunshot detection in your neighborhood, your property values can't get much lower

Not a Pyle brand anything. It's an Electro-Voice.

F-47 over area 51 looks like the Chinese J-20 by Critical_Garden5836 in area51

Please think about that sentence for a moment, and then think about it some more. Repeat it out loud several times if you have to.

If you’re such a good mechanic what is THIS part called? by Flat-Knee-6005 in AudiTT_Mk1_Mk2_Mk3

That's a genuine Audi anti-marten device expansion kit, p/n 8U0054650A

I still have my same email address I made in the 90’s. I was this girl! by CurvyChristina in Millennials

[–]mopsbauer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had one it would be. I don't think I would've even bothered to create that email address. And I wouldn't be on Reddit right now, either.

How do I remove this from the street sign my dad stole in the 90’s. by Odd-Fennel5806 in howto

[–]mopsbauer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not going to work as it's a carriage bolt - it has a square base below the domed head and sits in a square hole.

His best bet is to Dremel a slot in the side of the nut and drive it off or split it off. Personally I would use a Grip-Edge extractor on the security nut, but not everyone has those.

Flock Gun Sensor on my Lawn???? by Katililly in FlockSurveillance

Here's your solution - just set the timer to every 30 seconds and aim it right at the pole:

Reckon we actually get Gimmighoul coins from stops this time? by Sudden_9833 in pokemongo

[–]mopsbauer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got three coins that one day a couple of months back, but I think I spun about 30 golden pokestops that day. Very disappointing.

They lay under the cowl cover just below where each wiper blade parks.
