Trucks started getting giant in 1991. The f350 was different than the f250 in one primary way, it was lifted 3 inches on blocks. The f series drove the height gain in trucks. The next super duty generation had like a 5 foot tall grill in 1998. And it was all uphill for truck sizing from there.

GM stayed smaller till ~2008. My 2001 3/4 chevy roofline is the same height as a new f150 hood. Its nuts.

It is. Gavril is a made up brand from a game called beam ng. The game is basically car physics with some game attached and gavril are the trucks similar to an s10 up to a gm 3500.

Its already happening. 2000 f350 7.3L ZF6 4x4 rust free is worth less than 4k, trying to sell it for a recently widowed person and it sucks. Truck value, especially diesel, is shitting the bed.

Its not racist to say people from a country suck.

Bone conduction headphones have existed for a while.

I personally hate them. But you dont need creeper glasses for that feature.

At least PE and PP are relatively harmless. I think the narrative than any microplastic is bad covers up the evil that was polluting our world with PFAS.

Thats wrong. The entire thing doesn’t cross link. Vulcanization increases the polymer chain lengths until it crosses into being more of a solid. Polymers are like big balls of spaghetti and longer noodles make them more solid.

She retired after some stuff resurfaced.

I’ve done about 1000 sq ft of patio and path recently. Just the bricks are around 25k lbs. Ive moved about 30 yards of dirt and I’m expecting to put in around 50k lbs of gravel. My soil is mostly silt clay and its still heavy as fuck.

OBD2 primarily works when the vehicle is running. It can be used to tune some vehicles while they are on. What car do you have that doesn’t have the OBD port on while its running? It would be illegal in most states in the US.

Oil pressure tells you if the engine is dying or if the Oil is breaking down or overheating. I’d take it over an RPM gage.

A lot of vehicles dont have it in their cluster menus these days.

Wyden is one of the reasons I’m proud to be an Oregonian. He’s not perfect but he at least tries.

Its more than that. Women have a significantly better immune system, and I’m jealous up until the massively increased likelihood of autoimmune disease. Almost all autoimmune diseases occur in women. OP should really look into autoimmune issues.

I know a 20yo woman who has advanced MS with similar symptoms to what she has.

Not really. My house is from the 1960s and we were able to update it to handle 40C+ days consecutively.

The brick vs balloon frame argument isnt really bait. Stick frame is easy to update and make energy efficient. I think there is a real discussion to had about modernizing older homes in Europe to handle the future.

So strange to me to see temperatures that are like a normal summer 30 years ago being seen as some end all scenario.

Do your homes not handle 40C+ weather? We run a single window AC that cools the whole house in the weather you describe.

Its more how unbelievably wasteful “AI” is to give dumbshits access to very basic tools. If and when it gets more efficient it will be viewed as we see search engines.

There was literally the dark version of Google to save energy on CRTs, and now it’s energy consumption is low and normalized.

The intellectual divide will be deepened significantly by “AI”.

Ive never heard dumber conversations than people thinking “AI” is solving some hard problem. Here are a few examples:

1. It pulls text out of a pdf
2. It can read data out of a dwg
3. It can overlay data into a 3d model
4. It can update configuration data across lots of code

All of these could easily be done before, people were just too stupid to know how to do it without typing a stupid prompt and wasting resources to do it.

I wonder if this whole phenomenon could be explained by a Dunning-Kruger type effect. Where dumb people see “AI” as a great solution, and those on the smarter side see straight through it as a loud over juiced parrot.

A stupid person would believe this.

“AI” in its current iteration is a distillation of human knowledge. It lowers the barrier to access to long standing programming libraries that make people think it is some sort of smart. It seems intelligent because it’s imitating the things we have already created.

I may seem full of myself but requiring a login drastically reduces educated people existing in reddits ecosystem. I’m completely done with it and have moved back to forums for most things. This shift is the final nail in reddits decade old coffin imo.

This is gonna piss some people off, but the worst one is Toyota by a mile. I rent a lot of cars and they are the only one that I can see inside of other vehicles. They either dont adjust them or are purposely pointing them up for some sort of sales reason.

The auto dimming stuff isnt allowed the US yet. Other issue is most cars default to auto highbeams, which suck dick at turning off when needed.
