After you clean a high powered airgun, if theres a little too much oil in the barrel the first shot after cleaning can “diesel” from the oil trapped behind the pellet and give a loud pop like a 22 and a little bitty flash. It’s not good for the gun and smells awful, but it can happen.

Thats what kevin costner movies like waterworld are for

Who watches this stuff? Like, what is the target demographic?

It’s not a scam or an environmental disaster - the Macs don’t go into the trash, they just change hands. The resale value on Macs, especially with Applecare, is absurd compared to most PC resale values and the functional lifespans, again between iMacs and equivalently priced PC workstations tend to significantly favor…

The old apple remote wasn’t very disability friendly for people with hand mobility problems. I’m glad it’s gone. It would have been fine if you could turn off the touchpad function and use it as a normal remote, but the reliance on touch made it very difficult for the sensation-challenged.

Wow I didn’t know there was a shortage, my wife keeps them always so we have a giant bag... No expiration dates though - some of them are like 4 months old. Anyway to look at a serial number or something to find an expiration date? No interest in selling them - maybe I’ll ask our next doordash delivery person if they…

How hard is it to undo lambo doors?

I don’t know how to tell at-a-glance how old a Model 3 is yet, but all the ones I see still have awful mismatched panel gaps. Is build quality improving, or is that still a “comes with the territory” thing? I wouldn’t imagine the polestars are hurting on build quality - if Tesla hasn’t upped their game that might be a…

An electric fiesta ST that goes 200 miles and charges quickly would have me sold. A hatch to store stuff? Yep! Small and easy to park? Sure! Nimble and torquey? Lets go!

oh nice, I gave up trying a while back and just switched to different streaming boxes. I need to check if steam is still limiting purchases. Don’t own consoles, just a rack mount gaming pc so we can play games via steam link on various tv’s. N0t being able to check out trailers and stuff for games on the tv itself is…

I’d like the AppleTV more if Apple would stop working so hard to limit third party purchases on Amazon Prime Streaming, etc. I kiiiinda get not allowing me to purchase videos from prime streaming on the AppleTV, though I hate it... but when I fire up steam link, which is just a wireless gateway from my TV to my gaming…

I always encourage users to read Google’s “How to search on Google” support articles and people always think I’m being a schmuck but... it honestly is massively helpful. Refining google searches, for example: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/2466433

Just add “-pinterest” to your Google searches and it completely removes all pinterest domain results. Suddenly Google image search is useful again and you’re free from the Pinterest tumors that cling to your search results.

I connected a usbc hub a while back and the ethernet is slow as buns :(

It’s not compulsory employment though, people are choosing to do it.

But they *choose* to keep tapping that feeder button. What uber, lyft, etc. do only works because people keep working for them. If it was truly that bad wouldn’t they stop? People seem to want the perks of gig employment but want to escape the negatives. Just stop doing it, the labor pool dries up, then they’ll have…

If they aren’t happy with the terms of the employment, why don’t they... not do it?

If the driver don’t like it, couldn’t they just... not do it though? Nobody is making you Uber. It originated as a way to make a little extra cash during downtime - it’s the drivers trying to make it something it isn’t.

That is stupid. If someone wants to make balloon animals in the park for tips, is it suddenly society’s responsibility to make sure they can live off of the income from said balloon animal activities? *any* is pretty nebulous. Doordash, uber, etc. were never advertised to drivers as full time employment, they’ve…

I just do not get people that tip shitty and won’t even meet the delivery driver outside :| I figure if I am being lazy I can at least walk out to the street so they don’t have to find parking and/or climb stairs and stuff. I would feel shattered if a delivery driver got a ticket while delivering a burrito to me. I’m…
