There’s essentially no OBD fault code that means “engine will self destruct before you get to Autozone”, fortunately.

No offense, dudebro, but I’ve got a LX470. Unless you NEED a solid front axle, the UZJ100 is THE truck. The LC isn’t about rock crawling so much as traveling overland anywhere within reason. They continue to be goddamn miraculous vehicles that are the only choice if you want to avoid dying of exposure or dehydration…

Wow, why didn’t I think of using one of my 3oz climbing ‘biners to hold 2oz of keys. Genius!

Hardly their fault. It’s just that it turns out there are a lot more normals than in this world than there are people willing to shell out $200 for a fleece.

For what it’s worth, don’t buy a TRX unless you have unlimited money:

Balance, mobility and core strength are way more valuable in the real world than having strong biceps, y’know?

You sound like a real Grade A asshole, dude. I’m not sure why sympathy should be withheld for hobbyists but extended to those who we pay to take risks. No one is forced into service against their will in America.

Most sports sedans have become so enormously capable that incremental improvement is irrelevant because you’re only using some small slice of their power, grip and poise unless you’re on a race track. And let’s be honest, the number of people taking new cars to race tracks is verrrry small.

For what it’s worth, Arcus has done the ITS GONNA RAIN notifications thing for a while using the same forecast.io data, though the map and customization is more limited. One-time payment for the ‘pro’ upgrade is nice, but after using this on iOS for a year or two, I think $3/yr is worth it if you’re someone who goes…

Do you study healthcare economics? Because I do, and Ark is right.

It’s not great for the sort of crushing strength people here are imagining. It’ll give you great isometric strength, but won’t help much with contraction. It’s also a great way to mess up your finger tendons and pulleys if you’re not careful, as they don’t strengthen as fast as your muscles do. Same with these book…

Well, there are lots of compact mountaineering crampons that fit over normal shoes these days. Most climbing companies make ‘em. For example...

I hate to be a huge downer, but 8x8 isn’t big enough. Most people who build this are going to be super, super disappointed.

Anyone with enough shop air to power this is probably coating their floor in any number of things you don’t want to put back into their breathing supply...

Rock climbing in Kentucky. About 80 feet up, and 5-10 feet above the previous place my rope was clipped to the rock. Wind is howling and I’m feeling a rare moment of absolute terror in spite of the fact I rationally know I’m completely safe.

Reformed foodie here: I hate foodies.

I love this simple tip that magically transforms leftover rice with two hours of baking, a pint of oil and the awfulness of frying into a cracker.

I was going to go with the slightly colonial racist “she looks like the Queen of Africa!” but then started pondering the question of “who would look more appropriate on a throne?”

I think the problem is the sort of things we do for exercise. Exercise that’s simply mindless physical punishment is awful. I run and walk for the bulk of my cardio and calorie burning. The best I can say about either is that podcasts make them pass reasonably quickly.

My understanding is that the pattern lock as of Android 5.0 is relatively effective as long as it’s not human guessable at the lock screen because the pattern isn’t directly generating the encryption key. Dumping the memory and brute forcing all the pattern combinations isn’t sufficient to crack it. You’d need the…
