- Comment on Today's Survey. One point for everything that you have NEVER DONE 2 weeks ago:
Oof this is too accurate
- Comment on Hillary Clinton: How Much Dumber Will This Get? 2 weeks ago:
Same, I came here to comment on pretty much the same thing. I don’t care if I agree with her on points, I don’t have any respect for her, she’s shady af.
- Comment on Is it better to leave a country, or stay behind to fight for it? And what about the ethics of fleeing instead of staying behind? 3 weeks ago:
Ya probably not. I guess we may see

Ya, I don’t think Vance would accomplish much, he definitely doesn’t have the same charisma or followers.
True, things would definitely get interesting if the US wasn’t the top power. You don’t think China and Russia would team up? Or you think thats only because “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”?

- Comment on What TV cancellation are you most upset by? 3 weeks ago:
I wonder how the person who’s decision it was to cancel firefly feels about this now. Do you think they were under a lot of pressures because of funding, or they just weren’t that into the show, or was there a new show they wanted to divert funding to. Wonder what the story was there.
- Comment on What TV cancellation are you most upset by? 3 weeks ago:
That last season was disappointing to me
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 3 weeks ago:
Ya… I think that’s a really good point, a scary one
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 3 weeks ago:
I think the reason more people haven’t started to openly organize is mostly concerns about self preservation. This govt obviously doesn’t care about civil liberties and are openly calling anyone not with them “the enemy”. It becomes much harder to publicly and civily organize if there is a substantial chance you’ll be branded a terrorist organization. That’s obviously just my take from my perspective.
- Comment on .world censorship? 4 weeks ago:
Should this censoring be pushed to the client side? That way users can choose what they want filtered.

I’ve had a Subaru CVT for 10+ years with over 200k miles no issues

I’d love to be able to even just see if the doors are locked without a monthly fee.
The USB c connection is on the passenger side of the screen in the top right corner, so doing wired Android auto is pretty annoying

The main things that bother me are maps, remote start (which can be done from the keys but it’s a pain in the ass). When you start the vehicle a screen comes up that asks you to subscribe for maps, and then Android auto connects like 50% of the time and randomly disconnects when you are driving.

Modern cars, I think because of safety laws and “trade secrets”, can be quite a pain the reverse engineer. It’s notoriously difficult to even interface with any of the chips in any of the onboard computers in the first place, let alone reverse engineer what’s going on and modify it. On top of that some car companies, like Toyota, are starting to add HMACs to all the messages they send on the CAN bus, so even if you did figure out everything, unless you get the signing keys every message will be ignored. On top of that, it’ll void your warrant, which I know some people don’t care about, but for a new car that you are having to depend on, its another hurdle.
- Comment on Ads are a plague 1 month ago:
I just bought a Toyota and they locked a lot of features behind an app with a monthly fee, absolute fucking pricks. The whole auto industry is going to shit.
- Comment on Doordash deserves it's fate 2 months ago:
Most of the people that I know that make decent money don’t use the service, but the people that work at restaurants or do gig work occasionally do… I don’t understand
- Comment on What's the deal with Signal? 2 months ago:
The code is open source, people look at the code, I’ve dug through their code a fair bit. It wouldnt be quiet, and it would take major code rewrites, it would be pretty obvious
- Comment on What's the deal with Signal? 2 months ago:
Accurate. And if you are being targeted by 5 eyes, your phone is probably fucked, one app vs another probably won’t make a difference

- Comment on The torque better not be too strong with this one 3 months ago:
You know! ❤️
- Comment on The torque better not be too strong with this one 3 months ago:
Torx for anything that needs to be torqued or used with power tools, Robertson (square) for anything intended to be used with hand tools or more finer work (a screwdriver)
- Comment on The torque better not be too strong with this one 3 months ago:
Right, field maintenance, especially when you don’t have access to tools is a bit of an exception. Personally I think using take down pins for guns is the way to go for field maintenance anyway.
- Comment on The torque better not be too strong with this one 3 months ago:
Lol absolutely, stripped screws are the worst
- Comment on The torque better not be too strong with this one 3 months ago:
Ya Ikea standardized on hex because it’s cheap to mass produce. It definitely strips though.
Torx has slowly been gaining popularity in the US for a decade or two now, but sadly Phillips is still pretty popular and hex is pretty common also, you will see the square/Robertson screws a lot in electrical panels and in cabinetry but not super common at the hardware store.
- Comment on The torque better not be too strong with this one 3 months ago:
The way I see it, anything with a square bit can be done by with a hand held screw driver, and anything with a torx bit should probably be torqued to a certain amount and/or be used with a screw gun. Square/Robertson bits are used super often in things like electrical panels and electronics. They are becoming pretty common for cabinetry also. I doubt you’ll see a torx screw in cabinets.
- Comment on The torque better not be too strong with this one 3 months ago:
Square (Robertson) and/or torx depending on application. Square should be for everyday things and torx should be for anything mechanical, yes I know there is a big gray area in the middle there, but flat head, phillips, and hex need to go.
- Comment on The torque better not be too strong with this one 3 months ago:
Can we all agree that flathead should be outlawed and Phillips needs to get phased out with a quickness
- Comment on Can someone give me an overview on the Jill Stein situation? 5 months ago:
I’m still salty about Bernie being sandbagged. Not a big fan of how Kamala was shoved in either, but she’s impressing me more than I expected, I just hope it’s enough.
