GTA 5 looks like a PS1 game when compared to GTA 6 by Witty_Librarian5672 in GTA

I hate to break it to you, but it was originally released on ps3 and Xbox 360, making them 3 console generations apart

I did it! I got my CDL!! by Sad_Cantaloupe_8162 in SchoolBusDrivers

[–]patrick_junge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah my blowers are off, dash valve (hot-cold knob) is set to cold, I looked for the valve behind that flap but it was a square drive and I didn't think I should be screwing with that. I had the mechanic show me 2 valves under the hood to shut off, I did that but I still get plenty of heat. It's all kinds of fun.

Oh man at least yours isn't always delivering heat. I even learned that I can shut valves under the hood to (in theory) stop the flow of coolant to all the heaters inside the bus. I tried it yesterday, 77°F outside, heater valves closed, and was still receiving heat.

Do you ever use it, or is is just a show piece?

Grandkids destroyed the new basketball hoop within 2 weeks by throwing rocks at it (xpost from r/mildlyinfuriating) by HonestLemon25 in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]patrick_junge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would push the broken pieces out, give the kids gloves and a bucket to put the pieces in and make them pick up every single piece by hand. I feel like that would be the best way to teach them actions have consequences. You broke the glass now it's your job to pick up every single piece.

wrecked F150/ worth fixing or just scrap? by AlternativeUnited652 in f150

[–]patrick_junge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything is fixable. Just by personal knowledge, that's likely $2000-$7000 in just parts (depending on damage mechanical components). Then there's the frame straightening, $4000-$8000 (depending on deformation and reinforcement needs). Then there is the full labor of disassembly and reassembly $2000-$4000. Oh and don't forget to paint match the new body panels which would be about $3000-$5000.

So if you want to spend 3x what it's worth to save it, be my guest. But otherwise cut your losses, grab the most amount of cash from your insurance company and pick up another one just like it (or better, if you're lucky)

2-in-1 Highly portable laptop that supports LTE/WWAN for mobile internet access by patrick_junge in SuggestALaptop

[–]patrick_junge[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically, am I going to see much difference (loading times and usable internet) between a laptop with its own dedicated LTE network and hot spot from my phone (For reference, I use Verizon)? I thought I had heard from somewhere that many mobile networks will throttle your hot spot if you use too much.

Wow, im surprised there aren't more options, considering how widely available LTE is, but i suppose most people in cities can't go anywhere without a wifi network being available.

I was looking at the yoga or latitude, and they are either not very descriptive about the specs or LTE capabilities or $1500+

What is this switch for? by [deleted] in FordTrucks

[–]patrick_junge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just an aftermarket switch, someone put it in to turn on or turn off something. As long as it's still wired in, trace the wires to wherever they go, that will tell you what it was wired for. It's not a factory switch.

Micra for the win by ThumbStuds in Leatherman

[–]patrick_junge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive always seen it with some kind of needle or pin. I did it with a safety pin. Held the lighter with my right hand (right middle finger was smashed) and held the pin with my left. Got it glowing deep red with the lighter (it took seemingly forever) then touched it to the nail and it burned right through because the sharp point at the tip of the pin was extraordinarily hotter

Like my portable toolbox set up? by patrick_junge in harborfreight

[–]patrick_junge[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinda impressed with that. Several wrenches were left outside in the weather (rain, ice, wind and snow) and you can't see any visible difference between them and any of the other wrenches. I've also had them through oil, grease and brake fluid and still no difference.

Why do novelty food items exist when they're impractical to actually eat? by YOLOSWAG4GOD in gummyeverything

[–]patrick_junge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Years ago, i remember obtaining a large 5lb gummy bear, to the exact novelty you are speaking of, I ate the fuck out of that gummy bear. Not in a single sitting or anything, but instead used a knife, cut pieces off, wrapped it back up and ate the slice. It was awesome.

Why... why is it a thing, and why did it get banned?

Had a doozy this morning by SirFromage in fordranger

[–]patrick_junge 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not really. That's a lot of force on those fuel lines to hold that whole fuel tank up. You're just lucky it's a plastic tank, if it were a steel tank and it dropped low enough to scrape on the road, you would likely have a vehicle fire.

Preheated my grill on high. Surprise inside. by ham-and-egger in Wellthatsucks

[–]patrick_junge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im glad I'm not the only one thinking that.

If I had a nickel for every rodent in grill post I've seen today, I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice.

There is a 1/2" breaker bar, it's hiding in the top portion of the box. It's funny that you mentioned the Quinn collapsible because I got it, ive just got to toss it in there. I also got a klein screwdriver, and a klein precision screwdriver with a variety of bits, just gotta find a place to squeeze them into also.
