It's pronounced data.

There are used chevy bolts for about $20k, they have around 300 mile range, they weigh around 3,500lbs.

Virtually all road damage is from heavy trucks and plows. The weight of two ice cars is still practically nothing compared to those.

Tires are a problem that need to be solved, microrubbers are going to be the leaded gas of our generation.

Yeah, some people think there should only be relationships between mailboxes and femailboxes.

If you end up with the beta max of battery tech hopefully there will be a retrofit of the popular tech by the time you actually need a replacement, which might be 20 years later, assuming the rest of the vehicle is still in good enough shape to warrant the replacement.

There really isn't much clearance there and with uneven wear the caliper kept getting closer to the spokes every time I centered the rotor to the point where it starts rubbing. Honestly this seems really bad if it gets snagged on a spoke at high speed.

 

If the black knight can't move because it would put himself in check can the white king take the queen? Or would putting the king in D1 or D3 be an illegal move?

I suppose without context this seems like I had a stroke. Not the jorkin it in the stripped club kinda stroke.

My organization just listed 2 electrical engineer positions as night shift, pay below national average and we are in a high cost of living area. I'm convinced they don't actually want applicants. It is a great job but the listing looks like shit.

I had a vendor tell me their new wireless device doesn't need a password because it's proprietary and they'd need the hardware and software from said vendor. Hardware and software that literally anyone can buy from their website. My company bought them anyway. FML.

It's Mr. Noodle's brother, Mr. Noodle! Mr. Noodle, can you tell us what the word genocide means?

Mr. Noodle nods "No" and mimes a hostage scene

Thank you Mr. Noodle.

I created this one during the first reddit exodus: https://lemmy.world/c/cremposting@lemmy.world

If ya'll want to use another instance I'm open to suggestions, also I think the mods here are all gone so we'll need volunteers.

I fucking did it again, just a few minutes ago. This time on a bike. I had the old brake pads out, i leaned on the handle bar to stand up and get the new ones because I'm old and managed to bump the brake handle against the wall with my body weight. The caliper piston shot out of there and mineral oil is all over the place, all over the rotor, all over me. So now i need to order a bleed kit for a bike, which I'd need eventually anyway but I'm just annoyed because I made this mistake years ago on a prius.

I was changing a lug stud, they need to be in the 12 o'clock position to come out but I had the car in park and only jacked on one side and the caliper was already hanging by a bungee cord. As I went to put the car in neutral I pushed the brake without thinking and I hear a thunk followed by a metallic rolling noise. I shot the caliper piston across my driveway. So as soon as it happened on my bike I fucking new exactly how I fucked up. Typing this out has calmed me down, lol. I use arch btw.

TLDR: I tried to change brake pads and shot out my caliper piston. Again.

 

It happened while I was sleeping, an entire hour, just gone. I don't think it was aliens this time.

 
 

Some of y'all are overly afraid of scorpions and I just want you to know that some of them can swim and dive under water.
