It’s kind of frustrating that some YouTuber is able to buy a Tesla and then wrecks it for no good reason other than more views thus more money. Views that come from viewers that possibly go hungry to school, who’s parents work multiple jobs, etc. etc. But we do like to complain when a billionaire spends an enormous amount of money on a boat that comes with a support vessel, or some artist buying his whatever number number home for a gazillion dollar, etc. etc.
What a weird thing to do. It just pops the reverse lights on anytime it’s in park? I know a lot of models do that after you go into park and turn the ignition off as a way to illuminate the vehicle to the rear, similar to leaving the headlights in for a minute after you turn the vehicle off
yea.. i dont know how people dont talk about it more. i see these things daily. i drive by the post office on my way to work in the morning and there's almost always at least one freshly parked GM vehicle there with its reverse lights on while the owner is walking away from it
Not anytime it’s in park, but more like you described for illumination. I see the intent, but ultimately I feel that federally-regulated indicator lights should only be used for their explicitly designed purpose to avoid confusion with other drivers.
this exactly. if you want a light on the back put a light in the 3rd brakelight or something. does the same thing but if i see a white light at the top of your vehicle im not going to think its in reverse and about to back into me.
i like the mandela effect for entertainment. the common ones people bring up in this thread are fun to talk about… some people take it too seriously though.
Shaq was Kazam. That’s what makes me “remember” Shazam more…I remember thinking when I saw kazam starring Shaq for rent in blockbuster…”why would they make another genie movie so soon after shazam?? And who the fuck wants to see Shaquille O’Neal act???
Really? I had a burst pipe flood my basement, i had to cancel my weekend class so I'm out that revenue, and my girlfriend was in Florida when her mother died so I had to buy last minute tickets back during March break for her and her daughter.
Okay. I just finished the show all the way through a month ago. Caught a few episodes first run but not all. Also I am as mad at QL's ending as I was at Enterprise's.
ya been a while since i watched it all but! theres a new quantum leap show! i found out robert picardo played a character called 'dr woolsey' on quantum leap, and thats how i found out they made a new show
I’m a surgeon and I following this sub. I started following because I used to install tires in college and always appreciated working on cars. You guys have no idea how similar our jobs are. A lot of the stuff posted here almost parallels what we go through in the medical field.
Also bird legged. What makes the situation completely cursed? - THE feature I’m attracted to is nice legs. Like … it’s a dealbreaker. If I were looking at myself, hard pass. lol 🤦🏽♂️
Yes. „Oldtimers“ that count as historical vehicles have to be in original shape with original parts or legal tuning parts from the decade they were new.
if your shop recycles stuff, try to pull some of it aside to practice on. i absolutely trashed some stuff when i was first starting out. you'll get better at it
I've attempted to fix Surfaces before. Out of the 'round about two dozen I've tried, I've only managed to salvage the display in a usable state twice, and I've never managed to successfully repair a Surface.
i couldnt tell you which model of surface it was but i did a screen swap on one recently without much fuss. donor screen uninstalled itself when the battery went which was helpful, broken one i tossed on a hot plate then hit it with a suction cup. worked a lot better than the days when i'd try a heat gun. good luck keeping it warm enough to not break
Genuine question here from a long time lurker, once you nerds get these old computers up and running again what do you do with them? Is it mostly for the challenge and learning the tech or do you have other ambitions for them?
Yeah, that's actually how I remember it. Would have been like 1977
i called the operator in like 84 or 85 maybe and she talked to me for a while

i hear you, but it's not whistlindiesel's job to feed starving kids.
Ive never heard a burnout referred to as a “brake stand”, to each their own…
the way i always heard it, a brake stand means your car is more or less sitting stationary while you do a smoke show

Ah yes the 74GB Rapta, this is the Boston edition of the 74GB Raptor, used in Xserve.
these go in your serva
I was going to guess that, too, based on the Raptor name.
july 2005 narrows down the year
Thanks for protecting the personal identity of this hard drive
what if you take my serial number and void my warranty?

i remember thinking exactly this, so vividly. in the basement, in front of the tv, seeing a trailer for kazam and being like … but why?

ive got this same mic in the same box, but mines glossy white cardboard instead
If they had killed Worf in a dark alley in the middle of nowhere, i would have so pissed. That's not the way to end this character.
i’d rather worf die to armus than raffi
Did Data identify as male?
yea, in angel one i think he said he’s anatomically male

for sure! when the pipe burst, it could have caused an electrical fire and burned everything you own to the ground! see, totally worse!
Isn't Robert Duncan McNeil (sp?) in that episode as well?
no but he was in one like 5 episodes earlier

maybe you just want to live vicariously through someone elses legs

weird logic, why do they care? safety?
They can replicate, they just don't replicate a new one every time they need them, they reuse.
The 4 Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Replicate. In that order!
Holodeck power is seperate from the rest of the ship.
and incompatible!
Crazy she survived the Marquis purge.
she turned herself in just in time
Oh yeah, this is when he ends up having to go on Tretonin because he loses his symbiote
when worf lost his symbiote it was a sad day
The Guy Macet episode is named “The Defiant”?!
defiant is the one where tom riker steals the defiant
Why does the Romulan high command travel on the NCC-72381?
applying for a plate that says “ransom” probably gets you flagged
Yes, it’s more like its paper thin, not cracker thin. It’s only the second LCD I’ve worked on, glad it wasn’t any worse.
