If I could find a local outfit that did a good job for 15k, I'd book them this second. I've been trying to get our master bath redone for a while now and every quote is more ridiculous than the last. One of those prefab, done in under a week, places wanted 60k. That was with keeping all the...

Yeah, that's a good call. I actually use a ton of gaffers tape, but I only have it in obnoxious colors. I use it to mark missed connections and other wiring fuck ups. It's pretty durable and has a little better adhesion than painters tape while still not leaving much residue. For that vehicle...

They tend to leave out steps in the process when it's convenient for the narrative they're pushing like harvesting, processing, distribution, etc. I'm sure the car could run on fermented algae fuel, but the reality is it'd probably cost an arm and a leg to produce at scale, so, it'll run on...

If I could Thanos snap any group of people off this planet, it would be the fucksticks who keep pushing for piano black trim and glossy screens in automotive interiors. I swear they won't stop until the entire interior is a surface to reflect glare and collect fingerprints. On one vehicle I was...

Shhhhh. Keep up the facade so we can keep some gas vehicles... Also, they glossed over the key point of that article: the Wankel is back baby! Mazda just can't quit it.

The gaze tracking system is basically the trade off for these advanced level 2 autonomous systems that have hands free driving. In level 2, the driver has to remain engaged and immediately ready to take back over. It should only yell at you if you have the system engaged, which it appears he...

I don't. It sure looks clean, but I hate almost everything in that picture. What's that Mr Customer? The system doesn't work? Great. I can't wait to start cutting the 8 million zip ties in my electrician's little art project here and diagnose which unlabeled, same color wires he fucked up...

He said it to Brad Allen. I'm certain whatever it was, it wasn't nearly harsh enough.

Maybe you've already tried this, but as a teenager I would get migraines almost daily. Back then I supplemented with feverfew and it seemed to have an effect on both the severity and frequency.

The true GOAT...

The dynamic guidelines just use the vehicle's steering angle sensor. Pretty sure that vintage of Escape should have that since you need it for vehicle dynamic control - it needs to know if you happen to be turning so it doesn't think wheels are slipping from the differential in wheel speeds...

I'm about to stop, this is never going to end. Side note: can we bring in the fucking robo umpires already? Porter is allegedly one of the best in the game and he's absolutely blown some massive calls this game.

So that's what happened to all my 10mm sockets...

I had to look up a video to understand how that steering wheel worked. That entire interior is the most fascinatingly weird I've ever seen. Just about everything I look at I can't quite figure out how it's supposed to work. Asking me how to do any simple task like activating a turn signal and...
