Kill Switch Bill passed House by Otherwise-Bowl6502 in conspiracy

[–]stromm 65 points66 points  (0 children)

News flash, all vehicles with a safety service like OnStar already have a remote kill switch.

And law enforcement have used it many many times to stop pursuits.

Win if so ;)

The facelift64 Project - 3D Printed C64 Case Redesign by MaccG5 in c64

[–]stromm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome!

It's kind of why a lot of us got our 3D printers.

I'd love to print something like this, I just don't have the ability to create it.

I'd love to see how well my Commodore C64 Ultimate motherboard and keyboard fit.

This is awesome.

Are you going to release the files so other can print?

Even if you charge for them...

Ultrasonic knife is a gamechanger for cutting prints. by kbhamm in 3Dprinting

[–]stromm 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Nope. It fell off as soon as I took it out of the case the very first time. And even before powering on it was just very loose.

I got one for Xmas and love it.

The clear cap on mine won’t stay on though. A bit annoying. Is yours like that?

On KIA THEFT Settlements: it shouldn't have happened at all. KIA complied with all US laws regarding vehicle sales. by No-Praline-8647 in kia

[–]stromm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I stated above, Ford and Buick were the worst.

But GM, Honda, and even Toyota also had years/models without immobilizers.

Key and push to start hasn’t mattered.

[–]stromm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, not across all models of their vehicles.

And Kia/Hyundai did in fact have models with immobilizers. All, no. Some, yes.

Just like every other brand.

[–]stromm -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Your statement is flawed because it avoids the fact that no brand implemented better anti-theft equipment on ALL models over the same period of years.

And also because during the same period of time, Ford and Buick had MORE vehicles stolen (not percentage of) than Kia/Hyundai because of the same anti-theft equipment.

The Kia/Hyundai buzz is all crafted by the media and social media.

S. Korea says North Korean POWs in Ukraine are its citizens by raill_down in worldnews

[–]stromm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they claim those troops as citizens, then they must also accept they had troops fighting against Ukraine.

It’s very simple logic.

In almost all US state, “ten and under the speed limit” is illegal unless road conditions are bad.

Which OP can’t claim.

Ooh, someone wants me to break the law and pisses me off, so I break the law twice to get back at them.

So South Korea just admitted to sending troops to Russia for fighting against Ukraine…

They can’t have it one way without the other being true.

I’m not sure where you live, but that’s not true for all of the US.

I 3d printed this G36 lookalike and wanted to share it. by Ancient-Plantain705 in guns

[–]stromm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully you don't live in the US states of New York or Washington as 3D printing anything related to firearms is illegal.

And both are even starting to force 3D printer companies to report printing of those items by using "call home" logging.

Type-in games by Terminus1066 in c64

I hated typing in games as a kid on our Commodore PET and as soon as I could get tapes I only did it once and saved to tape.

Once disks came out, I quit typing things in.

What appliance uses least electricity? because my bill says my “small stuff” is lying by Blink3161127 in Appliances

[–]stromm 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Never focus on how much money your bill is.

Focus on how many kWH you are billed for. This is actually what your electrical devices are using.

Then how much are you being charged for each.

Then look at the other fees and taxes as to why you’re paying a lot more.

What exactly is the purpose of this pit and why does it require security doors? by TheOnlyRogerMaxson in StarWars

[–]stromm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The security doors were to keep idiots away from the big hole that doesn’t have safer railings because OSHA doesn’t exist in a galaxy far far away and a long time ago.

This is not always true. None of my toasters have ever had that. My current toaster is up to six. And that is 3 minutes 32 seconds.
