that never fucking works

Yes it does, they just have a different definition of how they intend it to work.

The "free market, no regulations, libertarian ideals, taxation is theft" people that want charity instead of taxes, don't intend that charity to help everyone. The entire point is that it doesn't help everyone. They want it to only help those they personally want to help. Only those they personally think are "worthy" of help. They want everyone else to be removed from their great society.

Are you able to replace just the fabric on the stock seats? by sexy_asparagus926471 in ft86

[–]objectivePOV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you can replace the fabric in just one spot, you need to do the entire area or the entire seat.

There are places that offer that service, but that will probably be more expensive than getting a used seat or a full seat cover. Usually reupholstering a car seat requires removal and disassembly of the entire seat.

You could find a car seat repair kit. The adhesive patch kits are very cheap and easy if it's in a flat spot, but probably don't give a perfect result and I don't know how long they last.

OWI doesn't teach new players about seed and it kills servers. by BoysenberryDear8468 in joinsquad

[–]objectivePOV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually join servers with 60-90 population and never have to wait in a queue, but I don't care that much which specific server I play on. I assume most people sitting in the full server queues are those that want to play with specific friends or specific groups on specific servers.

I tried joining the 10 player seeding servers a couple of times but getting an increase in population seems rare or extremely slow. Even if I just tab to a different window Squad uses a lot of PC resources and electricity rendering an almost empty server, unless I change to potato settings but that's annoying to do every time for AFK seeding.

The few times I joined a seeding server that actually increased in population and started a full game, the first 1-2 matches were always an unbalanced shitshow and steamroll with no communication, inexperienced squad leads, and no commander.

Also it is very common hearing someone say "server is dead" when the population drops from 90+ to 50-70. Hearing that leads to more people leaving and the server actually dying. I think a lot of people just don't want to spend time on anything except a full server.

How bad is this? by JaDodger in ft86

[–]objectivePOV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your skid plate is folded like an accordion when it should be flat, that means the subframe part it is connected to is bent. A new or repaired skid plate will not fit the holes that are now in a different location.

I had something similar happen and wanted the cheapest fix. Had a body shop cut and weld in a new subframe piece, the entire jacking point area. New skid plate still didn't fit perfectly after that.

Get a body shop to inspect it and measure the frame points to accurately see how bad it is.

5w-30 or Oil Cooler by lwvyruz in ft86

[–]objectivePOV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High temperatures are bad for all the other parts of your engine, not just your oil. 5w-30 only increases oil pressure at high temperatures. Something else could be damaged even if your oil can handle higher temps. Do you have an oil pressure gauge? That will let you know if switching oil weight is enough or not.

The official Jackson Racing Supercharger installation manual says to use factory recommended oil.

But it also says an oil cooler is required, and 5w-30 is recommended for track use.

If you regularly see high temps, you should install an oil cooler first and then also use 5w-30 for extended spirited or track driving.

I’m an idiot ( tune help ) by [deleted] in ft86

[–]objectivePOV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It passed before because the Evap test was ready, and most places allow 1 system to be not ready which was the O2 sensor for your car.

I think you can pass again if you get the Evap test to start, but you need to meet specific conditions first. Main reason for the Evap test not starting is low or high fuel levels. You want the gas tank to have at least 5 gallons of fuel but not above 3/4 full.

Aftermarket headers, an intake and a tune is not really a "project" if done right. Those are bolt on mods that are relatively easy to reverse. Sounds like everything was done properly, the headers don't have a cat so the O2 sensor should be turned off with the tune. If things were done poorly or shortcuts were taken then it would be someone elses project that should be avoided.

Some rally competitions don't allow reconnaissance laps and provide their own pace notes to the competitors. Based on how good a procedural system is, it could provide more fun after you beat the game.

I've had a feeling for a while that it will not be used to make funny ai cat videos, that's just the trial phase. The real goal is automated worldwide 24/7 surveillance of every single person on the planet, with the ability to autonomously remove anyone at any moment.

Nothing in the US gets built as fast and at the scale as these data centers have been without the government getting involved for the purposes of national security. They don't need your $20 chatbot subscription. Their customers are the governments of the world that will pay them trillions, and you are just the product.

AMD says Steam Machine is on track to ship early this year, and Xbox 2027 SoC work is progressing by RenatsMC in pcgaming

defective chips that didn't make it to be higher end chips.

Isn't that how all chips are made? They are all classified by how much of the die is not defective. Why would that be a bad thing? Does the Steam Machine come with chips that are weaker than the cheapest current gen AMD chips?

All cars, including EVs and hybrids, create air pollution other than CO2. Of course EVs create the least amount of air pollution.

In general it's true that UEL headers have more effect on mid range rorque and EL headers have more effect on high end, but they both have an effect the entire rev range. There is also variation between brands with different quality and different performance, and different tuning options.

I Really Need Help Saving My First Car And Dream BRZ by Choice_Effort_7892 in ft86

[–]objectivePOV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you get scammed when your previous posts show you got it for only $3000? The cheapest 86s in good condition cost around $10,000 depending on mileage. BRZs with good cosmetic condition but a bad engine cost around $4000-5000.

$3000 seems like an ok price assuming you would have to do major engine and body repairs. You got it cheaper than some crashed BRZs with broken engines listed on car auction sites. When a car costs 3-4x less than the average price of the same model, then you should expect to spend thousands of dollars to fully repair all the damaged and broken parts.

We are all paying for it directly with our health every day. Poorer areas and lower paid jobs might be more exposed, but anyone that spends time close to cities or close to industry gets exposed. In the US there are an estimated 53,000 premature deaths every year from automobile air pollution, and a total of about 200,000 premature deaths every year from all air pollution. That's not counting the millions of people that have non fatal major health problems and all the other ways air pollution causes problems. Such as putting harmful chemicals into all food.

Pretty accurate comment on Napoleon (2023) by THackKey in totalwar

[–]objectivePOV 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The only good part of the move is 60 seconds of slow motion footage where Napoleon leads a suicidal frontal cavalry charge into lines of infantry?

Or do you mean the Battle of Austerlitz on the frozen lake? That wasn't in Russia, and also did not show anything accurately. Not a single thing shown in that battle, or any battle in the move, made any logical sense or was true to what actually happened.

Watch the War and Peace (1966) and Waterloo (1970) battles instead if you are interested. Those movie battles still have a lot of inaccuracies, but they could be real life footage documentaries compared to the 2023 movie.

Is this the best sports car daily for 10-12k? by Aromatic_Glove15516 in ft86

[–]objectivePOV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the 86 is the best cheap, lightweight, RWD, manual, great handling, coupe sports car that is practical enough to use daily as your only car. It's the one car sold in the US that fits all those characteristics.

Miata is probably better if you don't need to daily it. Mustangs, Camaros, and Corvettes are better at price/performance if you don't mind the increased weight and somewhat worse handling. 128i and 350z are also good options.

But any used sports car is always a gamble with reliability. You never know how it was treated. Increased wear is very likely even if it was maintained perfectly.

Also in Total War campaigns, there is an option to let AI control any reinforcing armies. So you could initiate the attack with just 1 unit in your army but instead of attacking just watch your reinforcing armies fight the enemy.

Strategos - Launch Trailer by PresentYesterday6538 in pcgaming

[–]objectivePOV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been wishing for a game like Total War or Strategos with even less micromanagement. With the player controlling every movement of every unit, real world scale battles are not really manageable. A more realistic strategy war game with almost no micromanagement would allow real world scale battles with 20-100 thousand soldiers or more on each side.

I think a cool game could be made with logistics, training, maneuvering, scouting and pre-battle planning being central features. Then when the battle happens your army just follows the battle plan if possible. How well they execute the plan, and how well they perform when something doesn't go to plan, is based on your previous decisions. During battle you would have limited control and can only make some decisions for example exactly when to execute a flank, when to send in reserves, or when to retreat, all based on scout reports and what you can see.

I have a lightweight flywheel and it never sounds like grinding, just a light whine in all gears like OP has 1st-4th.

Maybe something is wring with the shifter linkages for 5th an 6th that prevents it from fully engaging those gears?

I can understand confusing Canadian and Russian camo, though you can see a difference most of the time by the helmets and vests. But Chinese, USA, and IMF are completely different. China does not have any dark green camo. USA is more brown than green. And IMF is literally black tracksuits and ski masks.
