i find people that take pictures of their food abnoxious and extremely annoying. i have a friend like that. i swear to god she can’t eat anything without taking a picture of it first...my god.

i had a Cagiva mito 125 as my first bike...but i was very lucky to never fall on my ass on that bike (i fell on my next, heavier, CBR600 bike).

What Audi needs to do is improve on quality. My Audi has been to the dealer 5 times in 25k miles. they’ve replaced the turbo, fuel pump, thermostat, radiator and fan. It’s spent more time on the dealer than on my hands. Last Audi i’ll ever own.

Pretty much what my cellphone has. pictures of parts, serial numbers, documents.

Helicolil are the default on many assembly plants, whenever a thread is damaged, part is reworked with a helicoil, saves money, and the thread will end up better than if it was repaired with a tap. Always helicoil if you can.

You would be surprised where i’ve taken a completely stock Ford Ecosport. This rav4 will be interesting to watch.

While this phone might not work in markets like the US. it is a big success on emerging markets. putting it against it’s competition (read: Huawei, nokia, lg, etc) it blows them all out of the water.

i got skimmed a month ago, on a 5 star hotel in mexico city. i didn’t took much notice of the fact that the receptionist took my credit card to the back. couple days later i had a 900 dlls charge on it. I live in mexico, and you got to be careful all the time. good thing that most banks here are implementing chip and…

I get you..for some reason cars like this fly under the radar, without any attention. We don’t get the BRZ in Mexico, we do, however, get the Suzuki swift sport. The best hot hatch, while the polo gti might have an advanced twin-scroll engine and a 7 speed dual clutch transmission. The swift has a 6 speed manual, a…

it looks great but...LED’s under the sidebars? did we got stuck in year 2000 with a black slammed civic with green LED’s all over? or is that still a thing?

yes. cruiser (read: low speed) boards are made to flex (loaded boards for example), they require skill to take to speed without ending up wobbling all over. Faster boards are stiffer with lower angle trucks that make them stable at speed, boring going slow.

While i don’t know if he is/isn’t an engineer, i can tell you as a longboarder, he is correct in what he’s saying. The angle of the kingpin will determine the turning radius and stability of the truck, a lower angle means more stability, while higher angle will mean less stability. you do not want this angle to be…

it reminded me of this awesome video i saw some time ago:

What if you’re both at a stoplight..and then accelerate on green real fast because you’re both..in a hurry.

Audi uses them too, i still had one on the FR side on my A1, they noticed right when i was leaving the dealer and removed it there, what’s worse is that on Audi they are dark grey so you can barely see them.

we already have to hack ECU’s in order to reprogram them, from soft hacking all the way to resoldering stuff inside it. manufacturers don’t want people messing with stuff usually because of liability.

Add the fact that you have to actively look for places to properly recycle stuff, where you’ll have to haul it there by your own. most people won’t go to the trouble.

well i guess my 11” macbook air is still not going anywhere. i really expected them to just add retina and update with faster internals.
