hey, I'm being more of an asshole because you're being an asshole, and I thought it'd be funny to reply to you saying nobody cares because it seems like you care

does your manual say to drive "extremely slow" or does it say to keep the RPMs down and go easy on the throttle for a few minutes? because those are very different things and I'd give you my rebuttal to your points if you're open to debating without being assholes to eachother

and if not, I'm not dying on this hill

Dude, nobody cares, shut up.

if you can't read your owners manual there's probably adult education classes in your area

[-] Harriet_Porber@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

have you actually read your owners manual?

this isn't worth fighting some rando on the internet over. nothing I say I going to change your mind, and that's fine, not my car not my problem.

for others that see these arguments - don't listen to the armchair mechanics online, read your car's fucking manual. typically the goal is to get your car to operating temp as fast as possible, and most modern cars are designed to heat up as fast as possible under motion. heating your car at idle takes forever and spends more time operating with parts not at their optimal tolerance.

but don't just listen to me, read your car's manual.

and I will wash zero other dishes while procrastinating a single big item 🙃

this might not be helpful as most folks rent - but my adhd brain hates double basin sinks, replacing mine with one big basin was one of the biggest improvements in my kitchen

I will procrastinate washing a big item like a sheet pan for a month with a double basin sink

store the rainwater for use later.

And then there are even further rules on storing water in some places - in Colorado I'm only allowed ~100 gallons of rainwater collection storage because someone else owns the water rights to the land my house is on.

...what are you even talking about? "better" lighting is completely subjective, I am happy with what my lights do and they are already LED, so there is no more efficient way to get the effects that I prefer.

It's ok if you prefer different things, but you're just crapping on other people's subjective preferences as if your preference is the only right answer.

I'm guessing you're getting down voted by all of us that want light to be reflected/diffused off the ceiling, and actively own LED versions of this lamp.

These exist, they make LED versions of this. I have 3 of them because I'm too lazy to crawl into the attic and install better lighting in the ceiling itself.

Looking at the lead from this link someone posted below - that isn't something you can spot weld. Generally I'd say soldering can create air/liquid tight seals, spot welding can't.

I absolutely loved mythbusters, but honestly I think it ran it's course. They were kind of running out of things to test towards the end.

Also search for Streamlined Mythbusters - they're fan-edits that remove fluff (lots of fluff in the later seasons) and rearranges the shows so each myth is played straight through before going to the next myth in the episode; instead of showing pieces of 3 different myths at a time bouncing between them.

I just want to grab popcorn and hear if anyone knows what happened. I'm assuming the admins finally took control?
