Splizwarf posted:This is a funny discussion because I never felt bad about paying ~$1.25 to get somewhere on the PA Turnpike but since I moved to just south of DC it takes twenty-five loving dollars to drive back to Philly on I-95 (180 miles). I know there's workarounds for some (probably all) of those tolls but I've taken most of them and they universally suck a big fat dick. A special gently caress-you goes out to Delaware on this one, 95 is in Delaware for what, 13 miles? And it costs five bucks? What does it cost to cross PA on the Turnpike now (at least 100 miles longer than my trip), like $18?  See this bullshit right here? That red line costs you $2.42. It is less than 200m long. Approximately 3 people use this per day.

Nam Taf posted:The reason it's done is that the tram tracks often form one of the vehicle lanes as well. That is, cars can drive over many of the tram tracks. In those instances, you can't have a right-turn lane as the right-most lane IS the tram tracks. As such, they sit in the far left instead. You're right that in cases where the tram tracks up the centre of the road are dedicated tracks then you could potentially have a protected right arrow, but when it is literally one of the car lanes as well, you cannot. Plenty of our Brisbane cabbies have no problem tuning right from a left hand lane. Especially if it's across multiple lanes. I used to be a courier and saw one take a right turn onto George St from the far most lane of Ann st.

Complete opposite end of the spectrum vehicle, but when I had it, my 1978 Ford Escort has a similar problem, tacho going haywire, sounded as though I had dropped a cylinder, but it was my alternator that was shot. Replaced it and everything was fine. I know it's completely different, but couldn't hurt to check?

Having done some shoddy work in my younger years, I'm so grateful now for patch cords that can be bought from pretty much any electrical store to match your OEM stereo plugs to whatever brand headunit you're putting in. gently caress stripping/soldering/connecting and covering with heat shrink. Plug and play just loving owns, and makes it all that much easier to reverse if you ever sell the vehicle. I think I swapped out my head unit in my S15 in about 5 minutes flat.

There was a deli here in Adelaide that was selling expired food and copped a $20K fine for their efforts. There was a Brumbies bakery here in Brisbane that was on the name and shame list for like 5 years running. I think their last fines totalled about 90k or something ridiculous. I used to deliver to a store just up from it and no matter what time I was there there was always the same lady chainsmoking in the back section. One place I deliver to now used to defrost chicken in the rear sink by just running cold water over it. Had the biggest roaches I've ever seen in my life as well.

um excuse me posted:I imagine if you lift yourself out of your seat you could apply hundreds of pounds of pressure. 80 is firm but not absurd. Wouldn't work like that. You'll get more pressure seated with your back fixed against a seat that lifting yourself up. Plus you should be able to exert more force though your leg than your actual weight.

IOwnCalculus posted:Do you weigh more than 80 pounds? Can you stand up while holding any weight at all? Congratulations, you can apply at least 80 pounds of force to the brake pedal. I weigh 85kg and yes if I was stood on a scale that shows 85kg. But think about how it's set up if you lift your self out of your seat. The wheel becomes your pivot point and the brake pedal is what your stood on. To exert the same amount of pressure you have to make sure your body stays still which means you have to lock your arms, and extend your legs. Even then your not directly above the brake so the effective weight your actually putting on the pedal will be reduced as it's on an incline. With your back against the seat all you need to do is extend your leg which would exert more force through the pedal as your locked in and can't move. Pictures would do this better justice and I'm sure someone more versed in physics would be able to explain it better than me.

IOwnCalculus posted:I wasn't disagreeing with you, my point is that generating 80 pounds of force with your legs should be trivial for anyone who doesn't need hand controls to operate their vehicle. All good man, got my wires crossed. Chances are everyone that claims they have a runaway are not good drivers to begin with and can't react accordingly. I recently got my truck license and though I considered myself to be a good driver, it's pointed out some very glaringly bad habits I've accrued over time. I'd highly recommend at least doing some lessons for a truck, it certainly makes you more considerate on the road.

 This is supposedly the heavy duty window regulator for a Hyundai i30. This dogshit piece has broken 4 times in 4 years. Pray it doesn't break whilst it's raining cause there's no way to keep the window up without removing the whole inner door frame and propping it up with 2 pieces of wood. It hasn't rained where I live for about 3 months, it broke last night and I awoke in the middle of the night to pouring rain.

BitBasher posted:PLA will shrink about 2.5% when the temperature rises if it gets high enough where you live, a little more on the axis where the layers are, closer to 3.5%. I designed and printed a phone/QI charger holder for the cup holder in my 04 Tacoma and it shrunk noticeably here in Vegas. It went from fitting perfectly in the cup holder with no slop to having a good deal of rattle in it over the span of 2 weeks or so in summer. That said, after the initial shrink it stayed stable just fine and I've been using it for 2 summers now. If you print one, you can scale it up by 2.5% then do the equivalent of annealing it in hot water to make the size stable. There are guides online. That is great info, thank you!  The one in the middle is the one that failed, OEM printed on the left, which doesn't fit the rail, printed copy on the right which fits great. Turns out my regulator must have been fitted with a skoda/vw part as that's the one on thingiverse that matches. I'll bring in the printer to work tomorrow and increase it by the 2.5 % with 100% infill, the one I did last night was only 10% for sizing and that was a two hour print. Will remove the tower sticking out as it's not needed on my car.

NitroSpazzz posted:Replaced the drivers side window regulator in my mk4 three times and passenger once over the ~10 years I owned it. Given the horror stories I don't consider that too bad considering I lowered the drivers side window at least half way every week day to get into work. Quoting this as I've now found out it's the mk4 golf regulator that it has been swapped out for. I got it kinda fixed. I beefed up the clip side and printed it up on 100% infill, but managed to completely cover up the mounting hole for the bracket that clamps the window. However the clip fits on the other side and can mount it backwards so I strung it that way. But this way makes the bracket rub against the rail, I can at least get it closed, but I'll adjust the part and reprint it and refit next week. Window just will stay up now. If nothing else, I can disassemble the door and mechanism at F1 pit stop speed.
