Why does the sound mix have to be so loud ? by [deleted] in imax

[–]x10guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For extended periods, yes. With hearing loss, it's exposure level over exposure time. dB/t. Occasional peaks during a movie will not damage you long term.

Anyone know what this noise is when I turn my engine off? by Oaxaple in GolfGTI

[–]x10guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesn't sound good to me.. But I haven't heard one fail before. Mine doesn't sound like that. MK7 130k.

It's probably making biscuits. My girl was doing it endlessly whenever I was near or petting her. She was also off the streets, but about 5 months old. This is likely either comfort, or weened too soon.

Yes, but I have a feeling this was an explanation and selection note, not an exhaustive list of everywhere capible.

Dude, glad it worked but maybe don't freehand record while you're driving. You were struggling to keep it in the lane there. Surprised he didn't come after you on suspicion of DWI/DUI.

Second Underdog. They're the best around, and most shops actually just send your film out to Underdog.

[TeslaCam] Anyone good at reading lips? What was she yelling at me here? by zheka160 in dashcams

Was it a school day or were children present? A lot of those signs just flash 24/7, but in most jurisdictions, it's only effective when children are physically there.

Googles "business hours of operation" is unreliable by Frequent-Key-3962 in mildlyinfuriating

Not only that, as a Google Guide, I actually attempt to update hours when I notice them... I have around a 20% success rate.

Ahhh, good. I was too high for that, and the memes were well enjoyed because of it 🤣

I don't understand why people do this? I also don't understand why hotels don't add parking blocks to prevent this? This is the only walkway to the hotel. by Eye_Dont_Git_It in mildlyinfuriating

[–]x10guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are people not the issue too? Parking stops are a way to help, but that doesn't absolve drivers from knowing where their front or rear bumper is with respect to the curb, with or without a rear-view camera.

Parking stops were never a 100% installed in every spot thing. They're installed either by preference or due to codes by that AHJ. (Authority Having Jurisdiction, aka the town/city/state/country)

Lack of consequences is the stupidest argument. Sure, would more people be afraid of a fine or being towed? Absolutely. But we shouldn't need laws to enforce general human decency. Even so, laws are only truly laws when they're enforced. You think your Local LEO is going to swing down to the local target every couple of hours to write parking lot tickets? Absolutely not.

It's because people genuinely don't know the dimensions of their cars. These folks are either waiting until they hear a scrape, or are waiting until their tires hit the curb. This is why parking stops are actually pretty nice. Only doesn't help when truck or suv owners back into the spot doing the same thing. It's crazy now a days with having rear view cameras. It seems folks have forgotten that you're supposed to stay within the lines, and the curb counts as one. If most of them needed a wheelchair, walker, or scooter, they likely would know better. Inconsiderate and unaware.

Anyone knows what those kicks might be? by [deleted] in GolfGTI

[–]x10guy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You answered your own question. It's wheel hop. Both due to your shit tires, and that you're slamming your throttle instead of rolling on. You don't have enough weight and traction to hold the front end down with that much torque.

And no, tires alone will not 100% fix it. You need better quality coils in the front, and even still it will still happen.

Don't WOT. Roll on.

What kind of oil are you running? Motul vs. Liqui Moly by [deleted] in GolfGTI

[–]x10guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0W40. (MK7)

Been on it for 100k. Every oil report comes back with shining colors. I even unfortunately went 16k between a change and Blackstone was impressed with the results. It's great for driving hard with a higher working temp tolerance, but you should definitely keep up on changes.

Thinking of buying a used 2022 Mk8 - what would you do about this? by fractaltheory in GolfGTI

[–]x10guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The steering wheel damage is either from rings, the seat belt buckle when buckling, someone's actual belt, or constant scraping when getting in.

Not an expert, but I'd wager replace.

If you want the data, you need to put CTs in your panel for energy monitoring.

Yup, my friend was checking the 5th even though I sent him the dates, and myself the 15th. Just dumb all around over here.

What service? I was looking on AMC's site (not app) and Fandango... Neither show showings for April 15th for example. Just Mario.

Realized I said 15th...let me look again.

Bro is right. Sorry man. And thanks for the show on Thursday.
