Grew up near Chicago…

A lot of those people commute into the city and walk several blocks to their building. Sneakers are just better for that. Most probably keep dress shoes at the office and change at work. Also makes your dress shoes last longer and keeps them all polished up.

I was behind a Tesla that stopped at a red light from ~40mph and the brake lights didn’t turn on until about 10 seconds after we had come to a complete stop. One pedal driving is broken in basically all of them.

Looks like 100-150m or so to me. The camera was panning quite quickly so it’s blurry.

It just reminds me of this clip.

I’m gonna agree with the other guy. That was the internet.

When Valve released Steam back in the early-mid 2000’s internet speeds were like 1-3mbps. A 4GB download (less than a single layer DVD) would take ~3-8 hours. I bought a physical copy of HL2(2004) to load it onto the computer in Steam for that reason alone. I also had the Orange Box(2007) on disc.

My link is to factcheck.org so if you have another link I’d be willing to read it.

Edit: I went searching for what you’re talking about around the 2007ish time period and I simply can’t find it. Everything is about TARP in 2008 which started with Bush and Ford didn’t take from. Ford did take a 5.9B loan from the Department of Energy in 2009. Looks like they did pay that loan back but have since taken another.

Say what you will but Ford was the only one of the big three that didn’t take money directly. That isn’t to say they didn’t benefit from those programs however.

This move was still colossally stupid. They tried to save millions and costs themselves billions.

I love that the alt text is actually of a game I still play even now.

I remember trying to log in to the original Command and Conquer servers a year or two back and feeling like I was knocking on the boarded-up gates of a ghost town.

You just need to use CNCNet. There’s usually ballpark 1-2K players online across all the games.

Since nobody else posted it…

I have coworkers with varying degrees of proficiency with AI. The ones that are better with it rein it in when it goes haywire. I have less of an issue with this. It still does awkward stuff here and there. The ones that are bad with it just commit the code for review and annoy me. When 60-80% or so of your PR can be refactored away then it’s a crap PR and honestly never should have been one. Don’t make me read through 2000 lines that should have been 400. It’s a waste of time. This mostly is it doing brain dead things like instead of passing a parameter into a method it makes 4 nearly identical methods.

I mostly use AI to implement a solution, not come up with the solution. I don’t care how fast you can type…AI can type faster. That also means I understand what it’s trying to build and how it should be going about it. That does mean you still have to use your brain and not offload your critical thinking to the machine which is what I see a lot of people doing with it.

In that regard I like AI but it’s still a love/hate relationship for sure. It both saves and costs me time just in different ways.

Not my image but ultimately stole it from the rebel forum after a search cause I had no idea where it was on that bike.

I’d take a whiff of the evap canister and see if that’s your fuel smell. It’s filled with charcoal to absorb fumes. It could be bad, or fuel saturated. If you overfill the gas tank(doesn’t mean overflowing, read your manual for max fill amount) you can get gas into the evap system. A lot of racers remove the system entirely but it’s part of your emissions system and should be left on street bikes.

 

I have a GE Cafe dishwasher(cdt865ssj2ss). I ran a cycle in it a week or so ago and it was doing its thing for a good half hour or so. I went to the store and came back to a completely dead dishwasher. No life at all. Checked power / breaker. Turned it off for a few minutes. Nothing. The dishwasher was hot like it had started the dry cycle but still had water in the bottom of the tub when I got home.

I’m pretty handy and have a multimeter so did some searching around and figured this wouldn’t be so bad.

Started by manually removing the water from the tub. Probably not necessary but didn’t take long as it’s only like an inch or two of water. Didn’t want it spilling if I needed to pull the machine out.

I pull the machine apart at the bottom and get to the main board. Check the UI boards connector port for ~13.5v on pins 2 and 5(it’s literally printed on the circuit board). I’m getting 14.05v. So likely not this board. I order the UI board(top of door with controls).

UI board comes in. I test the power from the main board at the connector of the UI board. Still 14.05v. So not a bad wire harness. Figured I’d check since the door was apart now. I install UI board and turn power back on. I have life again. Things are looking up. I fully put the thing back together and try to run a test load. Machine fills with water like normal and then just cuts out entirely again. No life at all.

Now when I check the UI boards power connector(on the main board) with the multimeter I get nothing. So perhaps that board just up and died and may or may not have also taken out the UI board again. The main board does have 120v.

I’m pretty sure something else is obviously wrong with another component and it’s taking out the board(s). After it fills with water I’d imagine it’s the circulation motor that runs? So for now the machine sits with water in the tub again and dead electrics.

Just looking for general advice of things to look for. If I should just cut my loses and get a new machine entirely. I’d hate to replace both boards and have it fry them again. It’s about $300 for both.

The dishwasher is approximately 8 years old and wasn’t exactly cheap(~$1600). It’s hooked up to soft water and otherwise looks and ran great before whatever electric issues it’s started to develop. The underside of the machine looks basically new. No discolored plastics, the pipes/hoses aren’t cracked or even look worn at all. The rubber bits are still a nice semi-shiny black. Not a dull powdery black color of old rubber. No signs of leaks. It actually has a tray under it with a leak sensor as part of the dishwasher.
