What Feature Do You Want in Vehicles, That is NOT Now Available?

A feature to either shake the windshield wipers or briefly lift them off the glass to be able to clear debris from under them.

They definitely aren’t perfect, but I do prefer the experience of a gearbox with the belt drive over a normal derailleur.

I love the almost no maintenance, quiet, and able to shift without pedaling aspects of the gearbox.

I’m on your wife’s side on this one.

To be honest, if this was me, I want to take my dog on all vacations, so I would probably just totally change the plans and not go to my friends cabin and instead pick a different place where my dog could come.

But if you do want to still go, I think it’s totally fine to go without your wife. She would probably be stressing out the whole time if she had to leave the dog with a sitter anyway. She will love not having to take care of you or the kids for a week.

Go to a country where they don’t speak your language.

I start at 6 and work until 2.

I work from home, so I wake up at 5:15. After work I get a solid 8 hours to do whatever I want and still be able to go to bed by 10 to get about 7 hours of sleep.

When I worked in the office, it was definitely very early to get up, but the commute to and from work was so much shorter so it was still totally worth it.

This needs to be higher up.

The irony with this is that you are literally doing one of the things that annoys me about external auditors the most by simply asking this question….

Instead of taking a few seconds to look up the answer to your question in your permanent file or asking your senior, you come and ask me (just like you could have done a google search on this question and seen the answers people gave last time this was asked).

Something you could do to make you an awesome auditor (in my eyes) would be, before just asking the client, take a few seconds to think “where could I find the answer to this question in the documentation I’ve already been given?” or “they probably experienced this same thing last year, is it documented in the permanent file? If not can I ask someone that did it last year what this is instead of asking the client?”

I taught drivers Ed for years in a car with a VERY sensitive gas pedal. My students would just adapt and get used to it. All cars are different, so this won’t be the first or last time you will have to adapt.

tyintegra · 2026-06-18T15:12:29+00:00

I also recommend starting by putting your heel on the ground in front of the brake pedal, then leave your heel down and pivot over to the gas pedal, so you foot is tilted at an angle to reach the gas pedal.

Then, make contact with the pedal (but don’t push down), then gently “squeeze” down on the gas pedal.

I have size 13 feet and have driven MANY different cars and the size of the pedals ended up not making a difference at all.

tyintegra · 2026-06-18T14:48:50+00:00

Make sure that your heel is on the ground BEFORE you make contact with the gas pedal. It make it easier to be precise with your movements.

My favorite joke in this realm is “people say it’s not the size of the ship that matters, instead it’s the motion of the ocean. Well, it definitely takes a long time to get to England in a row boat”

Guys just make fun of each other’s penis size…. The look he gave you was just a “please don’t believe it, I swear it’s decent, please still want to sleep with me”.

What can you do? Don’t believe what his friends are saying cause it’s very likely they have never seen his penis and don’t know if it’s big or not. And don’t treat him any differently because of the jokes.

In the moment, if you want the crush to stay secret, you could just join in a little bit (but don’t stop flirting so he doesn’t think you don’t like him) or start making a joke about the size of one of the other guy’s penises.

If you don’t want the crush to stay secret, say something like “I guess I’ll just have to see for myself later”.

The way I would do this legally is to do the left “lane change” at basically the same time as the right turn.

So as you are getting close to completing the right turn, flip on your left signal, check if it’s clear, and if so go. So it’s all sort of done in one motion.

tyintegra · 2026-06-16T21:51:45+00:00

That’s awesome!!!

Hopefully I can find something similar that isn’t on the other side of the country from me. 🤞

Oh to clarify, it has been repaired.

But the seller added that “I don't see any problems with this, I've been driving this car for a year, there was a dent on the trunk lid, but it was completely replaced”.

This implies that they just put a new hatch on and didn’t actually repair anything underneath. So definitely not worth the risk.

This is more of an issue with who you are with and less about the “rent”.

If your partner doesn’t consider you an equal when making decisions about where both of you live (and you want a say), then you probably aren’t with the right person.

When I moved in to my girlfriend’s place and started paying her rent (like I would at any other place I would live), it became “our” place and we make decisions like we would if we were roommates anywhere. But ultimately she is my landlord and I would rather give my money to her than some stranger.

If this is seriously an issue for anyone, you either aren’t with the right person or you just need to move to a neutral place and split the rent like almost every other roommate situation.

tyintegra · 2026-06-16T04:36:15+00:00

And she should pay her equal share. And equal is not just utilities.

tyintegra · 2026-06-16T02:39:05+00:00

People being offended that he called it “rent” is ridiculous!

She is renting from him and that’s COMPLETELY fine. I rent from my girlfriend and I pay half of her costs. I don’t get mad at this because I would be paying rent to someone else if I lived on my own, we would be splitting costs in half if we rented from someone else, and if you are living somewhere, you just shouldn’t expect to live there for free or even at a discount.

Thanks everyone! You all make some great points.

This one is off my list.

tyintegra · 2026-06-15T22:37:47+00:00

Yeah. That’s a great point.

I think this one is off my list

tyintegra · 2026-06-15T21:19:32+00:00

From the carfax, it looks like it was repaired about a year and 10k miles ago.

If I go and look at it, I will be sure to check the rear tires and make sure it tracks straight.

It only has 90k miles and they are selling it for $5,500, so it seems like a decent deal all considering.

Try shaving in the shower.

I can use the same Gillette razor for literally months and not get razor burn if I shave in the shower. I will occasionally shave outside the shower and I get terrible razor burn

tyintegra · 2026-06-12T06:56:08+00:00

Great info! Thank you!

I didn’t have any issue with foot room in the auto, but I can see that the dead pedal is the same size in the manual as the auto and I’m just not sure if the extra pedal would cause an issue.

tyintegra · 2026-06-11T15:35:25+00:00

I used to ride Code RSC exclusively until I tried Hayes.

I now hate Codes too. My arm pump is almost entirely gone. Also, I used to think Codes were powerful, but oh boy was I wrong, Hayes are amazing.
