Cylinder deactivation is one of those technologies that needs to go to the trashbin of history. I can't think of a single engine it's been implemented on that hasn't completely torpedoed the reliability. Good to know it's a simple fix if I ever go that route. Same goes for idle stop/start on a...

Just did some minivan shopping. If you can get over the minivan stigma, nothing is more versatile or easier to deal with car seats and family hauling. Plus they have phenomenal utility. Only problem is you're limited to four options and it's a bit of a hot market. The Sienna was out of the...

Non-mower derail - all this convenience with the mower pushed me to get my first vacuum. I got an Irobot q0 for 40 bucks on Amazon. This thing sucks balls - I put it in our 2nd floor to do all the bedrooms. If it's not pushing the door of the bedroom it's parked in closed and trapping itself...

How did the garage turn out? I've considered doing the same, but I don't want to interfere with the rain sensor. I assume the official one still somehow makes that work. Mine has been an absolute workhorse. I removed a root it kept getting hung up on from the map a few weeks ago and it's been...

Probably could have gotten some of these for free if I kept up with all the stuff like Epic games store, etc, but have been too busy. Here's my haul of games I'll probably never get around to playing: Picked up Hacknet and its DLC for 4 bucks - hadn't heard of it before, but its description...

Went down a little rabbit hole on it - some guy did a 40 minute youtube video going through the source code and didn't see anything malicious (at least per the comments, I didn't watch the whole thing, skipped around a few times). However, people were reporting discrepancies in the file size for...

I have to admit, the video heading had me rustled being a "two-click" solution and then being a 10 minute video, but this looks pretty amazing.

Me staring at this dumb joke for 5 minutes: Guy ant? Giant?...

So you're saying I shouldn't name my egg cooking simulator 'Hard Boiled?'

The phone is slightly intriguing - 500 bucks for a made in America phone with some flagship level specs (although the SOC isn't listed) and it actually has a headphone jack and sd card slot. I wonder what company actually designed and is building this thing. I can't tell if you can buy it...

Video was highly unsatisfying, just them installing a French Drain. Extra lame, it looked like any excess drains into a 5 gallon bucket that this guy now gets to monitor and empty on a regular basis. I was really hoping to see something that flung the water back over to the neighbor's side...

Kids these days will never experience true gaming. (getting a migraine after playing 10 minutes of Mario Tennis)

At least my 10mm wrenches were put to good use...

Looks like they should cook up about the same timing. Maybe leave the brisket a little longer.

I have something similar to this to check blade style fuses: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Parasitic-Draw-Fuse-Tester-Automotive-Car-Power-Monitor-Accessories-Mini-Maxi-ATC-Fuses-Live-Current-Electric-Test-Pen-Light-Electrical-Diagnostic-To/16605357748 It measures the voltage drop across the fuse...

There were rumors that it was going to come over as a badge engineered Nissan with potentially a modified powertrain, but the attempted splits from Renault probably killed that idea. https://www.forbes.com/sites/peterlyon/2021/10/24/nissan-eyes-mid-engined-sports-car-based-on-alpine-a110/

They make a Febreze without the godawful perfume. Don't ask me why, but it's an absolute pain in the ass to find in stores. https://www.febreze.com/en-us/products/fabric-refresher-scent-free I think I had to buy it online - I think I used Target since that's something I don't want a knock off...

I use the term loosely, it was one of those huge clumps of crab grass. I need to re-seed that area and purge some of that shit. Did a little reading of the manual this morning. I had the mower set to sensitive mode. They recommend turning that off in high grass - it overrides using the...

I broke down and bought the Luba 2 for my place. I very nearly boxed it back up and returned it - the day I was setting everything up, the app wasn't available in the google play store, it was set to early access. I'm curious what you mean with the antenna mast - I threw it together not really...

Alright, I tolerate Mason jars in trendy restaurants because they're probably really fucking cheap and durable, but if you are a place that buys Mason jar beer mugs with a handle, fuck you. I guarantee they're no longer cheap, and now I'm drinking from an inferior glass with pointless threading...

Well hell, I was curious that the update wasn't pushed to me yet, so, like an idiot I checked for updates. Now it's scheduled to install on Saturday. How fucked am I?

Amateur. How is she going to get enough leg movement in those jeans. True pros use jeans cut into jean shorts.

To be fair, 7 of the last 10 winners were either Mahomes or Brady and Hurts/Stafford/Mahomes are the only ones not retired. Mahomes and the Chiefs have also been cleverly restructuring his contract by pulling more off the back end of the deal a few times now, so, his pay is actually a bit...

Before they finally locked down the pay scale for draft picks, a first round QB almost always was the starter year one since so much money was being dumped there. The draft in 83 was probably the best QB class - you had 6 QBs taken in the first round, 3 of which were hall of famers (Elway...

Been a long time, but once you install it, it should walk you through all the settings that need to be changed to enable it. Definitely worth a shot I'd say, although I'm getting very close to dropping Samsung (and Android) myself for other reasons.

Got to clean out the reciever room to make space for all of Rodgers' guys.

Have you tried a keyboard replacement? I hate Swype in general, so, can't comment on its functionality, but I've always been happy with SwiftKey. It's gone downhill a little bit since Microsoft bought it (fuck Bing), but not enough to get me to look at switching.

So, he said base price is 40k and it will option up to the 50s. Then he said they were working on a more spartan work truck variant. Not clear to me if that work truck is what they're targeting as 40k or it would be even less. 40k for that is a non-starter in my book, I think this will be a Fisker.

I thought the consensus was to start at 45 for average risk (no family history). Is it 40 now? Fuck. Next you're going to tell me they revised prostate exams down too.

I actually agree with Steven A, it is Kaepernick-like. Both cases you have a me-first player of questionable talent that will bring along a giant media circus and a bunch of teams noping out of that bullshit. Where I differ - I really don't think there's any collusion going on in either case...

These were more my speed: Anyone remember the "hack" for these machines where you could allegedly tear a notch in one of the sides and it would simultaneously reject the bill and spit out the coins? As a kid I always tried it and failed. Looking back, I think it was obviously bullshit or...

The Brown's innovative 5 QB offense is going to take the league by storm! Only one forward pass is allowed? Guess what! Unlimited backward passes. How will that work? As they say, sometimes there is addition by subtraction. Mull that over with a few beers...

This same shit happened to me. The cherry on top, after wasting all that time will be when you pay more out of pocket than it would have costed if you paid the cash price and didn't involve those parasites at all.

Can someone, anyone, please take Sanders so they stop showing that fucking empty couch?

I've never figured this out, but if my hands get really cold I almost pass out. Went clay shooting with a friend one time in winter and it happened - my friend took me to the ER. They hooked me up to an ekg and monitored everything for an hour or so, then just shrugged, discharged me, and handed...

He's 31, I'm thinking he's using it as an excuse to stay out of off-season conditioning and minicamp. I think they have too many pieces in place to get rid of him and signal a total rebuild.

Can someone please make a Jeb! pope meme?

I did this once in a pinch when I didn't have any of my tools - not nearly as fancy, no switch, just neutral and hot twisted together. Scared the absolute shit out of me when the instantaneous didn't activate and it took about 5 seconds or so for the breaker to actually trip and my Breaker...
