My dad’s a hardware design engineer, so Ive a fair number of loose bolts from soldering childhood electronics projects.

Yeah best we can figure theres a bad piston ring or two, but an engine-out service is not worth it on a car thats only worth $1500 at best right now.

Well yes but mine is SPECIAL.
It burns two quarts of oil for every 20 gallons of gas and the clutch is like rubbing sweaty palms together.
JDM TITE, YO

And they’re so easy to lose, right?

My own car, a 2000 Honda Accord in white, has an interesting quirk on the human end of the equation.

Slowing down quickly would throw the door open out of reach, actually.

That is an excellent point I completely neglected.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I think that translucent oil grabby plastic looks like crap.

I agree- short of some sort of obscure regulation I cannot imagine they have any overflow protections if the odo is kept w/ 32 bits. What I imagine they MIGHT have is some sort of 7th digit protection, where the variable is limited to 999,999. Again, can’t imagine why they would do that short of regulation. You’ll…

This whole odometer thing has me thinking...
Without changing anything else, do you actually save money by running larger tires?
Every turn of the axle still returns the same expected mileage value to the odometer (because we haven’t updated anything), but large tires travel further with every turn of the axle.
So lets…

A mechanical one would, which makes me wonder how long it would take to reset a mechanical ODO by putting it up on stilts and running the wheels in neutral with an external source of power.

And depending on how they’re programmed, it is technically possible for a digital one to “roll over” as well, because every piece…

Bezos, my dude, you haven’t even put anything into orbit yet. Maybe reel it in a bit before you’re the next Elon “Hype Train” Musk.

That lady’s poor insurance agent...
“You hit WHAT”
“The reported damages are HOW MUCH”
“I’d take away your license if I could... instead your premium is now roughly the GDP of Cambodia, which is coincidentally where I am relocating my whole family because of this fiasco.”

It’s a shame I can’t get a good feel for how she plays while Bastion is still so ridiculously overbuffed.
My instinct is that she is a little too strong, but I think with time the counter strategies will be more intuitive and comfortable and she wont feel that way.

Wow, you right. Clicked the wrong reply. I’m sorry! Top of this thread is the comment of concern. I would rescind it if I could but I don’t see a delete or edit option, so now I wallow in shame. ♥

Honestly I’d like to see people stop using this inane phrase. It isn’t clear.
It’s much easier and more natural and memorable to say “turn the wheel the direction you want the car to be going.” It is accurate and logical.
You could also say “keep the tires pointed in the direction you want the car to go and the car will…

Oh MAN. My buddy’s 1984 Toyota Tercel, in a beautiful orange that was nearly indistinguishable from rust. More cardboard on this thing than metal, I’m convinced. When driving down dirt roads you could feel the rocks hit the bottom of your feet. The tach had redline marked at about 6k, if memory serves, but it would…

Indeed. It's great that war creates a huge demand for technical advancement that will eventually trickle down and be genuinely beneficial...
But it still comes from war.
...and in case it wasn't clear I was being 110% facetious originally.

SCREW YOU THIS IS FOR SOLDIERS SO THEY CAN MARCH LONGER AND KILL LONGER AND CURB STOMP MORE BROWN PEOPLE GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE WITH YOUR OPTIMISM AND BENEVOLENCE.

The thing that bothers me about this is Mathematical and Verbal reasoning are two of maybe a dozen ways that a person can be intelligent. The problem is that other forms of intelligence are not as easily quantifiable. So even if they find answer, it will be an incomplete one.
