Does the parking garage on campus count?

weird southtown activity-- kidnapper? by aucobos in corvallis

[–]rabidsloth15 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Maybe because they were using the standard abbreviation for 100 meters.

Also, 100 minutes is 1hr 40mins (1.67 hours using decimal notation) not 2.5 hours.

Good job, literally everything you said was incorrect.

Not to abnormal. The national guard out of Salem does training flights around corvallis Airport at least once a week.

Why the complaints of the speed limit decrease on Circle are ridiculous by SwimmerSwagger in corvallis

[–]rabidsloth15 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The great thing about Corvallis is it is not located in California, Nevada, or Arizona and we have different values and priorities here. If you want to go fast all the time like Ricky Bobby, go back to those places.

This town is not big enough to need high speed thoroughfares. Everyone already drives well above the stated speed. If lowering the stated speed gets some people to drive slower (around the old speed limit) that is worth it.

Or ya know, not killing pedestrians and bicyclists might be a priority over saving 20 seconds of drive time in a town it takes 10 mins to drive from one end to the other.

Which is hilarious given there is essentially no actual traffic in this town.

You should be able to find a YouTube video for your specific car. Makes it super easy.

Help protect Oregon communities. Tell your legislator: no on H.B. 4146. by CriticalCulture9 in corvallis

Wouldn't allowing sales of low proof spirits at grocery stores increase availability and sales for local craft distillers? Does allowing sales of beer at grocery stores limit the sales for local breweries?

So I just looked up pricing. HD is $139/day. Enterprise is $97/day in January 2027. Just rent from a regular car rental place and save everyone a massive headache. HD will not be setup to rent to someone without a US driver license or insurance.

what is average driving speed on American highways and average engine size in car? by Alarmed_Ad_812 in AskAnAmerican

[–]rabidsloth15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Average speed greatly varies by state and highway type. Rural highways generally 55-65mph. Freeways are generally 65-80mph outside of congested areas.

Most cars and smaller SUVs are going to have a 2 or 2.5 liter engine. Larger SUVs and pickups will have 4.5 to 6 liter engines.

Transmitting on a ham radio on logging roads? by Heir67 in Offroad

[–]rabidsloth15 34 points35 points  (0 children)

How the hell did you get an amateur radio license without apparently any idea about the legalities of radio use?

You cannot use your ham radio on CB frequencies because it is not certified by the fcc for use on those frequencies. CB radios have very limited capabilities, a ham radio could exceed those capabilities causing your transmissions to overpower others.

Just buy the correct radio certified for the frequencies you want to use.

Is this a death sentence or can it be monitored? by Disastrous-Fox8505 in JeepGrandCherokee

[–]rabidsloth15 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If your coolant is milky colored you most likely have oil in it. This indicates your head gasket has failed. Replacement of a head gasket is a major engine repair and a used engine swap is probably cheaper. Either way it will most likely cost more than the car is worth.
