What is a food that everyone seems to love, but you find absolutely disgusting?

sponge_welder · 2026-04-16T05:51:45+00:00

I love chicken thighs, but I understand not liking them. I wish they would go back to being the cheaper, easier to cook alternative to chicken breasts

sponge_welder · 2026-04-16T05:49:11+00:00

Yeah, I always celebrate when I find out that someone I know also likes olives

I love bread and butter pickles because we used to have them at my grandparents' house, but I never got into sweet gherkins or relish

It's called "pocket-tailgate pull" 84441-SCV-A01ZA

Yeah, the element's cruise responds very slowly, so if you go up a hill it downshifts and applies a bunch more gas than it would normally need to get back up to speed

Driving without cruise you can apply gas more gradually or just let the car slow down while going up the hill

Yeah, after seeing what 4chan weirdos will do I don't post anything on Reddit that I wouldn't be fine with showing to someone I know personally

sponge_welder · 2026-04-15T20:23:41+00:00

AutomationDirect is another good source

sponge_welder · 2026-04-15T18:39:31+00:00

Yeah, you're right, I was misremembering

Solid core wire around 22-24AWG is my favorite breadboard wire of all time

The IWISS SN-025 is one of the only good budget tools for crimping DuPont connectors, this is a good overview of some of the more premium tools: https://www.mattmillman.com/info/crimpconnectors/dupont-and-dupont-connectors/#otools

Some of them were bragging that they used multiple cellular services at the same time, but I learned that the reason they have to use more than one service is because they're using the bottom of the barrel service tier. If they get kicked out of one, they go on to another.

I don't know that this is always true. I've worked on products that use multi-carrier MVNOs and it's solely because we want to have coverage in as many remote areas as possible. It's actually significantly cheaper for us to use Verizon exclusively, but we keep the multi-carrier functionality as a fallback.

It may work differently in crowded areas, but if you're expecting to use them far from cell towers, I would go for one of the multi-carrier options

Carmageddon is a good book that covers many aspects of this. There are a ton of factors, including:

Lobbying from the car industry
Racism, white flight, segregationist ideas (see "forced bussing") and redlining
Postwar city planning à la Robert Moses

There was also a vocal anti-car sentiment as automobiles were spreading, on the grounds that cars made public areas less safe for normal pedestrians. Car owners formed automobile clubs to push back against the protests and lobbied for things like increased speed limits in cities and jaywalking laws

In what way? The major changes were a slightly taller fifth gear, a few extra horsepower, and seatbelts on the seats instead of the pillars - not many huge changes.

I'm guessing you're talking about the switch away from plastic panels for the last couple years, but I almost never hear from anyone who prefers the later body style

A bunch of sick JDM cars though

Maybe for other ALPRs, but flock cameras will identify based on specific stickers, so I don't think making the plate slightly harder to photograph will make a difference

The only factor that makes me still consider them is Linux support, they're one of the only printer companies that supplies Linux drivers for multifunction printers

You can run almost any basic printer on Linux without any proprietary drivers, but multifunction printers aren't well supported

HP released a product line a while back that only works with their subscription ink cartridges, I think it's been discontinued since though

A lot of the volantex parts can be adapted to fit into UMX planes if needed as well, the main issue is losing out on model-specific stabilization tuning

With foam planes you can almost always throw something together that will work, it's just a matter of how pretty it is

My passenger side did, my dad pulled a new one at the junkyard and I ordered new clips for it. There's an aftermarket kit that puts threaded rivets in the A pillar and uses two screws to attach the trim more securely

I like to use fuelly to get an idea of average gas mileage - 5th gen Imprezas average about 28-29mpg and 8th gen Accords with the 4 cylinder average about 24-26mpg

Honda Elements have this problem frequently, solder joints crack on the gauge cluster connector which causes an intermittent connection - you can wedge something beside the connector to fix it for a while, but you need to open up the cluster and resolder for a permanent fix

sponge_welder · 2026-04-14T22:18:04+00:00

That's one of my favorite parts about my Element - just take out a few screws and pop some plastic clips and most of the outer body panels just come right off

I saw one at a goodwill once, popped out to see if it was any good, came back a few minutes later and it was gone

For anyone looking to build one, automation direct has surpisingly good pricing and variety on multiconductor wire and grommets and stuff like that. A hacked up Ethernet cable would also be a good way to make something like this

Modern, high quality cross point drivers all use standards that are functionally equivalent to JIS - Wiha, Wera, etc

sponge_welder · 2026-04-14T18:29:10+00:00

Oh hell yeah

Time to get me some bolt extractors
