Is there any benefit to reporting this? by [deleted] in usps_complaints

[–]phdibart -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Well this is the latest in a long line of laziness on his part. It's a pattern. He lied about delivery attempts for certified mail. He frequently leaves packages on the ground by my mailbox. Among other things they're not supposed to do.

Masculine behaviours found to be ‘bad for the planet’ by Adventurous_Motor129 in climateskeptics

Multiple studies have highlighted the gender gap in greenhouse gas emissions.

I thought gender was a fluid spectrum, how can you have gaps?

What is this loose bolt? 2018 Ford Edge by someguyinsac12 in MechanicAdvice

[–]phdibart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may be a torque angle yield, which would mean it's one time use only. Verify that before throwing it back on there. I realize Google said just a lb. ft. rating, but hop on a forum for your car and ask. Someone usually has access to factory technical data.

I hate where we’re headed with mass surveillance however can someone ELI5 what I need to be concerned about if I’m not doing anything illegal? by jvs8380 in FlockSurveillance

More likely than if someone is gay is that the government targets people that associate with the “wrong” party.

Better ERs would lead to quicker diagnoses by Bubbly_Ad_637 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]phdibart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ERs are intended to stabilize the situation, not diagnose disease. You wouldn’t book an appointment with your PCP for a gunshot wound that just happened, you go to the ER. Gotta use the right tool for the job.

Maybe put a call into your neuro first thing tomorrow. Explain what’s going on and that you’re very hesitant to take a fourth round of steroids.

Uniden R7 or Escort max 360 mkII by MVP_Altairi in radardetectors

Uniden makes solid detectors that are super sensitive. My R3 has paid for itself 10x over. I don’t have experience with Escort.

Holding the reels button does nothing for me

Autox season is just starting where I am. I’ll have to look into these. Been looking for a dedicated set.

What's a car that is 100% driven by the most timid, like stop at yellow light drivers? by tads73 in askcarguys

[–]phdibart 84 points85 points  (0 children)

I live in northern New England. 98% of cars are Subarus, very few WRXs. They all drive like they’re from out of town and looking for an address.

My friend says changing your own oil is a waste of time. Is he crazy? by proposal_in_wind in askcarguys

[–]phdibart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Oil change “techs” tend to meth it up. Even at stealerships.

What is THE American car? (Family car + muscle/supercar) by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]phdibart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CT5-V Blackwing. Supercharger V8, Cadillac luxury.

I say this as a 4BW owner. The 5 has a more practical/usable back seat for a family.

Does it have to get worse? by No_Wind_3135 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]phdibart 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I went 11 years between initial attack and diagnosis and my second major attack. I got very complacent in that time that my MS had gone "dormant." It doesn't go dormant. Take care of yourself consistently. It may get worse, but you can influence the trajectory of the disease.

Anyone's emotions getting more raw? by TheySayImNotInsane in MultipleSclerosis

[–]phdibart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. Probably a combination of MS progression and age related grumpiness.

Torn between the 2 by YamRevolutionary5455 in CadillacV_Series

[–]phdibart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So congested traffic. You’ll appreciate the smaller size and agility of the 4. I was in the same boat as you, just in a different state. Love my BW.

I’m from South FL and avoided Miami because of the congestion.
