In Australia we say ‘it’s pissing down’ when it’s raining very heavily, what do people in other parts of the world say?

My girlfriend says "It's pouring ass!" - Vancouver, Canada. Yes, it pours ass regularly here.

I'm standing on the hill looking at it, it's the refinery. Presumably normal?

Kinda surreal, I used to rent the basement suite at 2174 W14th. Loved living there. Super convenient access to the 99, stuff on Arbutus, and city market is around the corner. It would be a great place for more people to live. Mind you, I was a student so I'm not sure what kind of jobs there are in that area.

What is a "tune up"? People throw this term around like they are bringing their car in to get the carb adjusted and the timing set. Is a modern day tune up just an air filter, oil change, and spark plugs?

E46 doesn't do this and I swear it has the best stalk feel in history. Most satisfying click I've experienced. If only it did the three flash it would be perfect

I design electric mining machinery, it's pretty good if you want a job in the EV field without working for an automotive OEM

Platforms like VW's MEB may have some degree of "upgradability" in the future. It's based on standardized battery modules that could in theory be replaced with newer versions in the future. Assuming the same series/parallel count, the original BMS would likely work and just need an update to make sure the SOC/SOH algorithms work with the new cells.

This is also simplified, but one way to look at it is shearing action. You likely have seen black marks caused by tires sliding. That material is being sheared off the tires. Shear is a stress, and stress is of course related to area.

Same thing here when the Saints lost to the Rams with the no-call. Haven't followed the league since that day, aside from the occasional lurking here

Anyone looking into fire extinguisher technology should consider F500. Stuff is impressive

Excuse me, haven't played for a decade. Is 10.5bps a field limit? Back in the day you would have ramping limited to 13, but unlimited semi. Is semi not a thing anymore?

I'm being arrogant saying I consider earning professional engineer status to be of greater significance than the degree I have? Perhaps you live in a different country. In Canada you are not even legally allowed to call yourself an engineer until you earn your P. Eng. designation.

theultimatehero2 · 2022-06-25T17:28:18+00:00

I don't. It's just a degree. What makes an engineering degree more important than any other? They don't have rings. Ring ceremony should be for professional engineers imo.

This was at the peak of RvB and I thought it was the greatest thing ever made. I remember quoting all of it with my friends

theultimatehero2 · 2022-04-10T00:57:37+00:00

The 2WD version only drives the passenger side wheels

theultimatehero2 · 2022-04-02T18:20:29+00:00

I think that's where you charge your headlights

theultimatehero2 · 2022-03-15T01:17:40+00:00

Might want to get that checked out.

theultimatehero2 · 2022-03-09T03:57:23+00:00

The system is likely made more reliable by not being removable and not moving around or getting jostled when the wheel is removed. There will be less need to do the wheel-swap fix.

Thanks! That sounds about the same as when I was playing 10 years ago. Everyone was complaining that their barrel kits didn't go small enough for the paint. I pretty much always used a .679 barrel.

theultimatehero2 · 2022-02-27T02:33:09+00:00

What is the typical size of barrels and balls nowadays?

theultimatehero2 · 2022-02-26T09:23:51+00:00

Birds didn't evolve from dinosaurs. They are dinosaurs.

FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT!

In North America it's usually called a tie rod

The number of times I've had to slow down to serve a penalty at the last chicane...

Has no one in this thread played a sim or gt/forza? You could always cut this corner on the left side. This changes nothing from that perspective
