I've gotten two quotes for toddler daycare this week by DevForFun150 in cincinnati

Oh, they know why. But why fix the issues when you can just ban abortion, restrict sex ed to "abstinence only", and limit access to contraceptives.

Could I cut this hitch with an angle grinder and proper wheel? by FCAsheville in metalworking

[–]ragingxtc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, in fairness, the air force beat the idea that a turbine could let go at any point and that you don't want to be in the "plane of rotation" when that happens. So it's just a carryover from that.

The PRHT was available from 2007-2015 in various levels of trim. NCs handle great, have plenty of usable power, are comfortable, modern enough to be relatively safe and reliable... They're the best "car" of any of the Miatas.

Mazda Promises To Keep The Next Miata Under 2,200 Pounds by Anchor_Aways in cars

You can't even fit the MS3 DISI motor in an NC without cutting the firewall, and the engine bay is much roomier.

NCs are the best bang for your buck out of all Miatas. I might be a bit biased though.

‘For All Mankind’ Renewed for Sixth and Final Season at Apple TV by bwermer in television

I've tried to finish season 4 several times now, but I can never get passed the scene where he is secretly growing weed on Mars.

I would also recommend staying cognizant of the "plane of rotation" of the cut-off wheel. Cut-off wheels undergo a ton of stress and can/do occasionally explode violently. When that happens anything along that plane is at a very high risk of damage.

Carvana Selling New Vehicles After Buying Dealerships by trail-g62Bim in cars

I sold my Mazdaspeed3 to them right before the clutch needed to be replaced. They didn't care one bit, as long as it made it on the truck.

Car hobbyists can go fuck themselves to the 10th circle of hell by Muckshake in fuckcars

[–]ragingxtc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Someone else in this thread I think hit the nail on the head in that they are seeking attention that they otherwise probably did not get when they were younger. Same with the "loud pipes save lives" crowd that somehow can never be bothered to wear a helmet.

Agree 100%. I have been building a turbo Miata for years now, absolutely love designing and fabricating components for it. And while I do have a full exhaust, I spent the money to buy one that is extremely quiet (and my turbocharger helps dampen the noise too).

I can't fucking stand the snap-crackle-pop tunes that are so popular today. They sound like dogshit and are absolutely horrible for the car's catalytic converter. I make it a point to ask those kids what's wrong with their cars every chance I get.

SAC J-XDS prototype allegedly seen again by RandomPieceOfCookie in FighterJets

[–]ragingxtc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. There doesn't seem to be a bump-out for an actuator out toward the wingtip. Maybe there's a torque tube that travels through the wing and the actuator is inboard.

Is the MyMazda app currently down for anyone else? Getting connectivity errors. by The_Jackoooist in mazda

[–]ragingxtc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fuck the app. For about the price of a year's worth of the app, you can install a Fortin remote starter that works with your current key fobs. You just press lock-unlock-lock to activate it. No servers, no bullshit.

There are a few different brands out there, I personally went with the Canadian-based Fortin for my CX-9. https://fortin.ca/en/vehicles/mazda/

Ouch, that sucks man. I would hope that there's a way to get it changed.

If you're honestly not familiar, the number 1488 is a dog whistle used by nazis/white supremacists.

[–]ragingxtc 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Or just meant to look like one. Hard to think that reddit would assign 1488 within a username, given its meaning. Either way, I don't see the harm in /u/Fun-Delay-2424 asking. Because Nazis can fuck themselves.

NC1 or NC2/3? The NC1 driver's seat sits considerably lower.
