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.

This is completely wrong. Higher mounting means they can be pointed more down, which gives a bigger buffer to them blinding people when the back of vehicle squats. Bus and truck headlights arent an issue because their suspension doesn’t squat under normal loads.

Vehicle manufacturers in the US have to meet the new headlight requirements. Which require headlights to be bright as fuck and basically parallel to the ground. Then rear suspension is left soft to improve ride quality in all suvs. Put some weight in it and the front of the vehicle points up. Pickups are usually bad because the suspension is modified or it’s overloaded.

A quarter of drivers i swear leave their highbeams on. I have stopped caring and just installed blind people highbeams. 10x brighter than a high output halogen usually gets them to turn off their highbeams.

I grew up in a sort of non religious republican household. The answer your looking for is republican voters in the US are just stupid as fuck when it comes to reality. They live in a bubble of hatred that keeps them confused about how anything really works. Its why it’s impossible to explain anything to them. Tribalism cranked up to 11.

Took me 6 years of college to stop being a republican dumb shit. I was raised so racist and sexist and I’m so glad I grew some empathy in school.

He essentially kills his daughter and the dog to keep his job. He also killed his wife to get his job. Simple summary of the show.

Philips shape is the next step up from a flat head. Its just a double flat head sort of. It self centers and only requires 2 tooling motions if they are being ground.

The dont overtighten thing has always seemed like a weird misunderstanding that all bit types could be designed to do that.

The recipe is different for the store brand. I did this stuff in the dairy industry for a while. Its not production cycles in dairy, it’s vats. So store brand orders a few vats of product, with way lay less actual milk or doesnt specify as high a minimum quality milk products. More dyes and filler during finishing and no aging. All store brands are essentially flavored and colored mozzarella. They are lower quality.

I still buy them though. Mozzarella is good enough for most recipes.

For other products it’s similar. Lower tolerances on inputs and outputs to reduce cost. Still probably 80% as good as name brand.

Half of our contractors flew in from Mexico for my current project. Its like 70/30 with them for good/bad. Which is better than basically any installers I’ve worked with previously.

China in my experience is slavery painted over with the word automation. Any work I’ve done over there has an insane amount of obscurity to hide the slavery.
