Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What was life like in the United States from 1970 to 2000s?
24·4 days agoWe used to book computer time at the local library and I would walk by myself at the age of 8 to go play Oregon trail on a green monochrome monitor.

The the blank line is where the vehicle is listed it just got cropped out
Three sets of pads there’s four vehicles on the order. One just needs a pad slap. The other needed rotors and pads all around.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's a scam that's so normalized that we don't even realize it's a scam anymore?
60·13 days agoEverything about cars from manufacturing, sales, insurance, repair, registration and taxes. We could just have Public transportation.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•is it unethical to buy off brand but compatible batteries for power tools?
3·13 days agoI’ve bought several knockoff tools that work with DeWalt batteries and I have an adapter that lets me use a DeWalt battery in my old craftsman drill.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Have you ever had a meltdown because of age verification ?
4·17 days agoI didn’t get age verification ever, if I did I just shouldn’t use the site. I do get websites that arbitrarily prevent access if you’re using a VPN which is highly annoying.

1·19 days agoThey did an ecu update for more sensitive knock sensing and extended the engine warranty to 15yr/150k. I heard they replaced a ton of engines under warranty, but I can’t imagine that they changed much in the engine design. The problem is rod bearings failing and the engine seized. Some analysis showed that there could have still been machining debris in the engine from the factory or overall oiling issues. Lack of maintenance probably plays a factor as well. It looks like they were just poorly designed.

1·20 days ago09’ - 20’ Hyundai Santa Fe, Sonata Hybrid, Tucson, Elantra and Veloster and Kia Forte, Optima Hybrid, Sorento, Soul and Sportage with Theta II 2.4-liter multipoint fuel injection (MPI), 1.6-liter Gamma GDI and 2.0-liter Nu GDI had a class action for engine failures, it’s pretty much a guarantee that the engine will fail. I avoided the 3.6L caravan/t&c because they can have camshaft issues. Mine has the older pushrod v6 3.3.

1·20 days agoI wouldn’t mind a hybrid if it’s possible to replace individual cells like you can with some Prius models or get a range upgrade like you can with earlier Nissan leaf. I also don’t mind doing maintenance. We bought a Dodge Grand caravan with 180k last year and I’ve had to fix quite a bit on it. Fortunately parts are cheap for it and it’s easy to work on. My daily driver is a Crown Victoria police interceptor with 230k on it. I’m spending about $35/week on gas at today’s prices at about 20mi/gal. I’d like to find something that gets at least mid 30’s on the highway.

3·20 days agoEast Central Illinois near UIUC. I’ve done engines and transmissions in my garage but also used to work as a mechanic and have done many more. It’s much easier with a lift though. I’ve been shying away from Hyundai/Kia due to their engine problems. While I don’t mind doing an engine I would still have to find a good used one, which might be difficult if all of them have bad engines.

2·20 days agoThe problem with that is sellers are asking high prices for high mileage vehicles near me. I might as well double my budget and buy a Prius or Honda insight.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Amazon started hiding ratings for some productsEnglish
17·22 days agoThere’s a lot of fakes mixed in with regular inventory because individual sellers can send their products to have Amazon fulfill orders for them and Amazon just mixes inventory all together. This is why I don’t buy a lot of name brand stuff from Amazon, especially things like shampoo as you don’t know what you’re getting.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do I remove bird poop from cement and/or metal surfaces?

PriorityMotif@lemmy.worldtoAmazon@lemmy.world•Amazon kills sideloading in new Fire Sticks (unless you’re a developer)
4·23 days agoI switched from fire stick to onn box and it works good enough and can play emulators. I had to “side load” retroarch as the one in the play store didn’t n’t work as it wasn’t the latest version. All I really care about is smart tube though.
