  • 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




  • 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.





  • lol unprecedented? The entire country of LA would not exist without the early-LA government buying up water rights in the eastern sierras to pipe to LA, and then telling the local farmers there they were shit outta luck the first time drought hit.

    If anyone is interested in Western US water rights - Cadillac Desert by Marc Reisner is a great book. I usually recommend at least the first quarter of it, as it gets pretty dry and repetitive in the second half. But the first couple chapters talk about the first expedition down the Colorado River and early water rights, which was super interesting. Second half of the book mostly goes over large water projects like dams and aquaducts.


  • …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.
