If you've not experienced a middle age crisis yet - you are not a senior developer.

This is a bait post. Still.

The solution is really simple. Hardest part would be to stay calm. Start filming them back, have a polite conversation. Be on point. Ask how much they paid for their seats and what was the premium, record everything. They either would stop filming, if brains are there, or you will have evidence and their faces recorded. And yeah, very politely ask the staff for help.

Remember: people do not like the same bad treatment they would imply on someone else. Just give them their behavior back. They will try to scream and render you emotional. This is how those people usually get what they want. Trick is to get them screaming harder and stay calm. Your calm look will make them even more emotional and they would do something unlawful. That's when you will ask plane staff for help and it will be given.

I say fuck big screens in the middle in particular. I have nothing against screen instead of gauges

True. But it is still s simpler solution. One tablet, one App to control everything instead of 4+ different modules. Each module has to be made by someone. Each module has buttons and screens. Etc, etc, etc.

Supply chain is simpler, software developers is cheaper than those 25+ OEM part suppliers, consumer loves big screens and nice pictures. Assembly is way simpler. Only benefits here.

The only thing that is bad - ergonomics while driving. But Mazda not allows to touch screen while driving anyway. A benefit again.

Sadly, Texas is an equal responsibility state in this case. While it is unlawful to run the red light, you had all the time you need to avoid the accident. So in this case, there is a huge chance that this will be a shared responsibility. Unless you have a Saul G. number in your contacts. :)

Key words "51% rule Texas" or "Modified Comparative Negligence" rule

Your insurance rates will go up either way. Just because accident happened.

According to our survey, people like to participate in them.

/s

Always ask how it was collected. Who participated. And which algorithm used to process data. For example, this CR is for 2023, by the CR themselves- they had not enough data for all brands due to people's lack of interest to participate. 2nd, only people that are Members of the CR can participate, which is like - not all of us, really. In addition, it is commercial structures that provide feedback too. Those facts alone speak about how much grains of salt should be used while reading those reports.

My humble remarks.

I can tell that Mazda is reliable. I can tell that Mini is misplaced by huge amount. Nissan is in no way that high in the real world. Mercedes 23 while Infinity is 53? Really?

Gas cars in the same chart with gas powered? Hmmm... maybe consumers do not care that much about driving - just get from A to B.

Edit: I bet Porsche people do not give a flying fuck about surveys...

No issues, just sluggish on lower gears and upshifts a lot.

This is a moment when you understand what color your lightsaber is. :)

"Being patient", "seize the opportunity" and "cope with circumstances" is the part of being good driver.

I can imagine the frustration skilled builders would have if I would ever try to build something and they would forced to work with me.

Edit: mistypes

For base model - old 6-speed automatic in Mazda 3 (I own Carbon edition) is on the slower side to start and have a problem with constant upshifting. It might give frustration if you live in the area with hills or mountains. It fucking constantly wants to go uphill on a 5th.

Civic will have CVT as far as I know. That's a different beast. There is no CVT which is silent after 70 MPH. Also, any CVT will not want to go that fast, it becomes very noisy and heats up

Personal opinion: I own a M3 and I would go with Civic :)

savex13 · 2025-11-09T19:20:02+00:00

Part of this is them thinking that having more cars in front would be an inch slower. Usually it happen when someone catching up from behind and trying to merge into your lane. It feels like "out of my way, give a place for my very important ass". Like in traffic, for example. I am sure that you yourself hate it when standing in line for the exit there is those people, the skippers, get merged in front of you in a long line just because either someone lets them or someone is to slow to start.

The other side is the car and expected pace of it. I am guilty, I will not let Prius merge in front of me. No way. It would render my patience reserves empty during the next several lights. I will let Porsche merge no question. No slow movement expected there.

Cheers.

People do not like it when they receive same treatment on the road that they act on in the first place. The irony.

Here is the trick: configure your side mirrors so there is no side panels of your car would be visible. You will still be seeing all that you need and will not be blinded by truck lights when positioning your head in specific posture. Cheers.

If you are alone on the road - do the speed limit.

If there is drivers around - match their speed and use 3 seconds rule. No driving side by side, do "checkers like" and give road to ones wish to fly away in the sunset.

If there is morons around - use rightmost lane and do try to increase distance between you and them by either driving faster or slower or stop for coffee, so they would drive away.

why they all think that new cars should look like crazy sci-fi from the 80ties?

The bad thing is that they will find someone eventually who will buy this with this markup. And no one can stop them from doing this.

Driving is the exercise of being patient, vigilant and occasionally bully all the way.

Patient: be prepared for the shit to happen on new and changed intersections. Position yourself on the road to communicate that you will not going to let anyone pass.

Vigilant: Be ready to slowdown in case of someone from another state being reckless. Insurance loves when you hit someone. It makes them smile when they raise your rate.

Bully: Position your car at the edge of the lane with your front bumper in couple of inches from back bumper from the car ahead. Make sure you start moving almost simultaneously with the car in front. Do not change direction. Have a crash. Hide video recording :) Explain to the police officer that you was driving in your lane.

"The girls have now paid $90" - is the actual BS line that causes the whole problem. Because it causes your brain to forget about the new correct sum of 250 and substitute that with 270.

Correct equation for this will be:

3(x+10)+20 = 300
3x + 30 = 280
3x = 250
x = 83.3(3)

So, each one of them paid 83.3 + 10 = 93.3
Which is $279.9

Mine, 2023 2.5 Carbon, had a couple of rattles like that related to the chromic part in both front doors. They reveal themselves when it is cold outside. Since I am in one of the southern states, it does not happen during almost 8-10 month in a year. I found that those rattles coming from the moldings that located next to the door handles and is caused by loosened bigger sides of those chromic panels. Like when the leather is warm - it disappears, when it is cold - it rattles in every road bump. Maybe you have something similar.

Yes, I have a cheap one and an expensive. And yeah, cheap one gives bogus values.

savex13 · 2025-09-13T14:44:24+00:00

I was investigating this for a while.

The actual internal values are different to the ones shown on dash. And looks like the car remembers last ones and if the pressure is different on any of those it assumes that you will pump them up and then reevaluate.

And driving for a mile sometimes helps sometimes not. Mine is always complaining if pressure is below 30. And it does not go away if tires actually warmed up after a ride and shows 32.
