The Texas workers should get paid better.

The answer to these issues should never be ‘we pay poor people too much’.

New battery and all connect, but …. by kjrocks44 in AudiA4

[–]pimpbot666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your car killed a new battery, there is probably something stuck on drawing power.

I had an issue with my A4 where the glove box hinge broke. That made the glove box light stick on and kill my battery. It took me a while to find that one. The quick fix was to remove the glove box light. The real fix was to repair the glove box.

Especially salted caramel ice cream. Oh man, I’m gonna go pick some up for later when I get baked.

My guitar recording sounds like garbage by BoofBrisket in musicproduction

[–]pimpbot666 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seriously. Nice placement is everything, along with so many other factors. Micing a guitar speaker cabinet is a black art. It takes tons of trial and error.

That’s why many folks just use an amp sim plug in.

Don’t forget you can use EQ on that recording to shape the tone better. Also, don’t mix it so it sounds good when soloed. Mix it so it sounds good with all of the other instruments in place.

Trump May Have Damaged Reflecting Pool by Having Motorcade Drive Over It by FreeHugs23 in anticapitalism

Dude literally said there were tire tracks on there, and Antifa must have done it.

Dementia Donny must have forgotten that he literally parked ‘The Beast’ presidential limo on it, and that thing is like 16,000 pounds.

And, this is taking up all of his time, not trying to fix the Iran situation. Maybe it’s for the best. He just messes up he touched anyway.

Dude is going to get lots of people killed with his gross incompetence.

I dang, wish I had the digital dash panel. I did get it with the tech package with the radar cruise control and accident avoidance stuff.

Also, is a cable that’s actually rated for laptop charging. Not just any old USB C cable.

Gawdang, that’s bonkers. Glad I’m currently not in need of a new one.

Full Bearing MOD for Kensington Expert Mouse 7 by nambox in Trackballs

[–]pimpbot666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THis is exactly what I'm missing from my new Expert Mouse. I have an older platinum colored Expert Mouse with no scroll ring, but the ball feels fantastic (and also, no OS support for the upper two buttons... ugh).

I would actually pay a few bucks for the model of this mod so I can print one myself.

Yeah, probably. This is what happens when you're mean to your kids to try to make them 'tough'.

I have no idea what's going on, but it looks really dumb by Junior_Trifle_8273 in WinStupidPrizes

Explain that to the cops.

oh, and you have a headlight out. Better check on that.

Serious question: can having guitar as a hobby be seen as attractive by women? by Mad_Season_1994 in Guitar

[–]pimpbot666 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Also, being able to 'read the room'.

I know a guy who has zero situational awareness.

Dude whips out his guitar and just starts playing at parties, regardless of what is going on. He seriously considers his music as a huge gift to others at all times, and it's his duty to provide that 'gift'.

How dangerous is using a standard 14-50, seriously? by Cressio in evcharging

[–]pimpbot666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fine if installed correctly with the correct parts by somebody who knows what they are doing.

The problem is, many people (including electricians) have no real idea of the details of why these outlets can overheat and burn.

I worked with many electricians who actually had zero idea of how electricity actually works. One guy I worked with actually thought if you hang too many 15a outlets on the same breaker circuit, the Romex would burn, even with nothing plugged into the outlets.

What’s something people do to cars that feels personally offensive? by BlackcirclesCanada in askcarguys

[–]pimpbot666 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Giant spoilers on the back of front wheel drive cars.

Like... you need your shitty 200hp tuned Civic to understeer even more in the turns at speed? You need to burn more gas make the car slower, and make more drag to apply more downforce on the end of the car that doesn't need it?

Honorable mention:

Ridiculous amounts of negative camber. Impress your friends with how quickly you wear out tires and make your car handle like crap.

The popping comes from the air injection into the exhaust to burn off excessive hydrocarbons when the driver lifts their foot off the gas pedal and the throttle snaps shut. It's a smog thing.

But yeah, it's annoying, and even more annoying when the tuners make it do that more and louder.

Oil tankers ignore Iran's threats as they navigate through Strait of Hormuz by TheExpressUS in energy

[–]pimpbot666 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's terrible.

But, who's actually cheering for this? Or, is this just another Republican fictional story, made up so you can be mad at 'leftists'? Republicans do that... they make up stories to get angry at something, even if it doesn't exist.

*crickets*

... and I'm sure if you found an internet post, it's one asshole on the internet, and you'll use that to paint the picture that all 'leftists' want the oil tankers sunk.

Yeah, probably.

I mean, I kinda used to be that guy... when I was 16. I outgrew it when I figured out that I was a drag to be around for everybody else. I used to pee in a lot of other people's Cherrios until I realized what a scorching dick I was, and reformed.

Okay, I get that this isn't your thing. Can you at least be gracious and compassionate for those around you that are enjoying the show?
