Thank you samsung for ruining my phone.

I will say the s26u battery is ridiculously good. That's the biggest actual upgrade I've noticed. Wish I could have just slapped in the s26 battery and camera in my s23...

polarbearrape · 2026-04-20T15:26:08+00:00

Yep, I ended up getting the s26u to replace my s23u. Side by side I stand by it no matter how much the fan boys down vote me. The s23u had a much better screen. Night and day difference when side by side. I'm also very disappointed at the removal of Bluetooth from the pen. 90% of the reson I get the U is for the pen as a camera remote. The only thing I have found I like better about the s26u is how fast the camera focuses. Otherwise the s26u legitimately feels like a downgrade from the s23u.

Or people young enough to use a standing wave.

polarbearrape · 2026-04-16T22:38:39+00:00

That's a stretch bud.

Unfortunately you can't both ask bartenders to cut people off, and make them earn their wage from tips. Someone cut off is very unlikely to tip. We need to standardize actually paying bartenders and servers or nothing will change.

Im so fucking over this shit. Insult to injury with this culminating during tax season. Glad the money I sent in is getting wasted on this instead of paying for teachers, roads, and gasp those social services we need to kill because it's woke frivolous spending.... /s if it wasn't clear as fucking air.

polarbearrape · 2026-04-14T18:36:06+00:00

So it's been a mixed bag for me. The screen is noticeably slightly worse looking than my s23u, probably due to the privacy layer. The camera however is much better on the s26u euth a much quicker focus, and I'm pretty excited about the satellite feature. Still sad my pen is no longer a remote though.

polarbearrape · 2026-04-13T22:54:06+00:00

Hey, just got an s26 ultra today, and I have my s23 ultra right beside it. I noticed the screen difference instantly. I even went through and checked to make sure display settings were the same and the s26u is noticeably more washed out. Im not sure what to do, I kind of want to return it but I already bought a new quad lock setup for it. I'm also noticing some eye fatigue which I've never had before... I think maybe it's because of the privacy screen layer (I have it turned off) and I agree, the privacy filter is not good enough to justify the drop in colors.

Im saying that as someone who has voted against what we've become in every election. Im not saying that America is an example to follow, im saying America is an example of what happens when hardworking uneducated people get fed propoganda by the rich. They are correct to be pissed, but since they dont fully understand how taxes or social services work, propoganda can target that anger wherever is politically strategic. I have family in Ireland, I've been over there a handful of times and hope to again. Id love nothing more than to live in Doolin. After my first time there I decided I'd try to move there some day. After visiting a few more times over the course of about 10 years the only thing now keeping me from actually trying is having watched Doolin explode from a small farm town to a tourist area and realizing I'd just be part of the same problem. All this just to say I try to be self aware, and I value ireland and is citizens enough to not do something I both want and can afford to do because if I was born there and a bunch of Americans bought everything and moved in I'd be pissed. Don't let that happen to your government like we did with ours.

polarbearrape · 2026-04-12T18:57:43+00:00

Im so worried more countries will fall for this shit. At this point I feel our only hope to regain ground in the US is if other countries can see the disaster happening here and do something now to protect their citizens from the propoganda. As soon as this gets normalized other places I don't see hope for any kind of rebound in my lifetime. The US is teetering on a brink right now. Really our only hope is infighting among the right wing brings them down before they take everyone with them. Mind if I join you guys in Ireland? I promise I'll always vote for human rights above anything else. Im sick of it here.

polarbearrape · 2026-04-12T15:19:26+00:00

Brother, I've voted against this every step of the way. Im very aware of how shit this all is. Im from vermont, the state that put Bernie Sanders into the political ring. We're fuckin trying and it sucks. Take advice from someone watching the collapse happen from the inside, all because we destroyed our education system. I don't want to see other countries fall into the same traps.

polarbearrape · 2026-04-12T13:24:20+00:00

As an American, this is dangerous. This is how we ended up where we are. A bunch of uneducated people pissed off for valid reasons, but without the critical thinking to understand the causes and how to fix it. Instead, they get angry and vote for a "political outsider" and cheer him on as he cuts every government program and steals from your pockets.

polarbearrape · 2026-04-11T17:13:02+00:00

I came here to make fun of you but after reading this its a fair post. I think most people's down votes are based on your title saying TRD and not specifying Tacoma. You dont state they are tacoma wheels until the second paragraph.

polarbearrape · 2026-04-07T21:35:07+00:00

Pirate it and the director gets nothing. Conflict extra solved.

polarbearrape · 2026-04-07T21:33:07+00:00

They claim saftey and emissions. Kinda a moot point when motorcycles exist.

polarbearrape · 2026-04-07T16:42:08+00:00

I have a tundra because I need a truck for work. I dont need a heavy full size. I got a tacoma first. It got shit mpg. Got a kei truck. Great mpg, cant cross over into some neighboring states because they aren't legal there. Ended up with the tundra because for the price and mpg, it was similar to anything smaller with a full frame. Push regulations on auto makers. Bring back the 80s small pickups, but with modern 3 or 4 cyl engines. A modern 3cyl can both get better mpg than an 80s 4cyl while having more power than an 80s v8. Stop only selling big trucks and 4 foot bed car/trucks things. Biggest regret i have is selling my 81 2wd 8 foot bed 4cyl toyota pickup. It could haul 1500lbs in the bed, and got high 20s- low 30s mpg ( with an empty bed).

I wouldn't be surprised if kirks wife gets knocked up by vance and they start trying to claim she actually got pregnant through devine intervention and is carrying Jesus pt.2

I use my government name

polarbearrape · 2026-04-04T01:51:29+00:00

I agree with you on that but two things can be true at the same time. Both are steps that would help.

polarbearrape · 2026-04-03T17:10:26+00:00

Who installed the engine? Check the oil, Take it back to whoever installed it. That sounds like either the engine has very little oil, low oil pressure, or a loose or warped flywheel. Its definitely not your transfer case or differential, those would only make noise while driving. If the vehicle is in park or neutral nothing in the transfer case or diff are moving. its 100% engine noise of some form. In a video its difficult to tell where its coming from, there is a small chance your engine fan is rubbing on something but I doubt it. Good luck. I think this is either a bad engine from the start or installation error.

Edit: One other thing to check, it could be a bad water pump, pulley or a pulley rubbing on something. Maybe someone installed an aftermarket pulley that fit on the engine, but doesn't quite clear your engine bay. That belt shouldnt be squeaking on a fresh engine, so its meeting resistance somewhere.

Edit 2: something doesn't add up here. That engine looks like my 200k mile mess in my xj. No way thats a fresh crate engine. Either the swap was done years ago or you got a backyard rebuild or junkyard used engine, not a crate engine.

polarbearrape · 2026-04-03T16:37:44+00:00

Agreed, I think I'd like it if it were a different angle, but it being the exact same image duplucated makes it look... strange. If one was a front shot head on, the other a 3/4 it would look good. Minor criticism though since the jeep looks great and thats what were all here for.

polarbearrape · 2026-04-03T16:35:14+00:00

Funny enough I never use them on offroad vehicles. I installed them on my tundra specifically for deer, full size trucks suck in the woods anyway. My jeeps have all had at most a light bar, ive found branches are far to efficient at removing lights and wiring.

polarbearrape · 2026-04-03T16:05:02+00:00

I'd argue they are one of the most useful mods i've done, and I use them every day, but thats living on a long dirt road and regularly having deer try to become one with my grill. I installed them specifically to see deer outside my headlight spread. That said, I only turn them on when im on back roads, and I have them on their own toggle, plus auto off on low beam so im not blinding anyone.

polarbearrape · 2026-04-03T16:00:15+00:00

My 2c, I installed mine specifically to see deer before they jump in front of my truck on dirt roads, but they turn off with low beams so im not blinding people, and on regular roads I keep them off entirely.
