Humphreys posted:Guilty of similar on my first car. I didn't know about a little rubber under the brake pedal perishing was cause for brake lights to be on constantly. So I pulled the fuse and then manually turned on my lights on the stalk everytime I thought it might be a cop behind me to make them think I had brake lights. I was a dumb teen. high five manual break bro. lights were fine they just didn't turn on, but the rear foglamp switch turned them on so that was fine.

My FIL has a Kia van, and a local shop wanted ~$800 to replace the entire brake pedal assembly because the little wear button that the brake light switch contacts had dry rotted and fallen out, so the NC switch did nothing but catch air when the brake was released. Brake lights on constantly, even on key off. I managed to get one of those GM "Christmas tree" type panel buttons into the space which worked a treat and still functions as a wear pad Brake light chat yeah!

Let's really get this derail going: Tell me about how you all pump gas. Do you have the latch that let's you pump hands-free? Are you in some place where you're not allowed to pump your own gas? Let's derail this baby!

Remember last year when Oregon changed its law to finally allow self-serve gas, and people freaked out that suddenly they were being forced to do some highly technical and dangerous industrial job?

That last one HAS to be a troll, right? Saying costing someone their job is inhumane, and then in the very next sentence, with no sense of irony, saying it must be a health hazard for the ~1/week time they pump their own gas?

The running joke is that native Oregonians can’t be trusted to hold their own nozzles. Meanwhile, it me, the person who moved to Portland later in life, but still managed to sit at a gas station across the river in Washington for a good 5 minutes wondering where everyone was. Driving at night when rural OR gas stations were closed was always a skechy proposition. I used to have a vague list of everything in the northwestern quarter of the state that was open after midnight when I worked nights.

Every time I visit Oregon I jump out, start pumping my gas, then the attendant slowly sidles up and we exchange our "should I bother?" glances. Then I chuckle and let out a "whoops, forgot I was in Oregon" and jump back in until the next trip.

It's been said that if you tried to introduce the gasoline-powered car today, you'd never get approval without a load of safety regulations including trained and licensed operators, wearing full ppe including respirators.

I read somewhere that if aspirin was invented today it would be a strictly controlled pharmaceutical, or possibly never even make it to human trials. We're a lot more careful about what we put into ourselves these days.

Huh, I heard some variation that if aspirin hit the market today it would be patented and cost hundreds of dollars instead of pennies. And I don't think it's true at all that people are more careful about what they put into their bodies these days. There has never been a better time to sell snake oil to idiots who think they're careful about what they put into their bodies. Look no further than everything that Goop sells, and people who think that essential oils are more effective than medicine. People are dumb as gently caress and they probably always will be.

We're a lot more careful about what we put into ourselves these days. Aspirin is prescribed to old people as an anti-inflammatory to help with arthritis etc. but it has the side effect of causing stomach ulcers. If a new drug hit the market in that condition the pharmaceutical companies would be told to take it back to the lab and have another try.
