I wish I would have bought some Nintendo stock before this thing came out. They added 7.5 billion to the market share. I came home yesterday and found out my 3 out of 4 kids are excited about this stuff. My 15 year old doesn't care because she's too old for it. Other kids are younger, so I'll give them a pass.

Idiots: Jeep. As if leaving casting sand in the engine blocks of thousands of vehicles wasn't dumb enough, nor using plastic sides on the radiators so they not only get clogged by sand but crack easily and leak, just to replace the front speakers requires the removal of the entire dashboard. I was planning on changing the speakers this afternoon, but after looking at the procedure I'm just going to wait until I'm replacing the radiator and heater core since the interior has to be gutted anyway. Other idiot: Me, for buying a goddamned Jeep made after 2006.

It was their one win against us that wasn't highly phyrric in outcome.

People blaming a funky automatic gear selector. How do you gently caress up operating that, or not putting on a parking brake.

If you have to make a five minute video explaining how to operate a "funky automatic gear selector" then it's probably loving unnecessary. Edit: okay, it's just under 3 minutes, but seriously watch this stupid poo poo https://youtu.be/SUWVYrpd-3g

that shift lever design is loving stupid. There's a reason that physical distinction is a thing in any sound HMI design process. The best part is that I don't think that design even does anything better than a "normal" shifter, it's a textbook case of solution in search of a problem/we change it because it's ttttthhhheeeeee fuuuuuuuutttuuuuurrreeee

According to the article, the fix doesn't actually make the selector lever useful. It just automatically forces the vehicle into park when the seatbelt is taken off, the door is opened, and the vehicle is stopped or moving slowly enough.

Is that the same one as in the charger? It looks like it. It takes you all of one go to say "oh, hey, that's a bit different, maybe I should keep that in mind". Alternatively "something mildly different is completely dangerous to someone like me, so I should probably not buy this particular vehicle after taking it for a test drive". And plan C: put the goddamn e brake on, holy poo poo. And its still just an auto transmission, you can tell easily if a vehicle is out of a driving gear, when, you know, it doesn't roll forward when you take your foot of the brake and you feel the tension go out of the drive line.

i think if a guy has time to get out of a vehicle on a steep enough slope and get far enough in front of it that the car suddenly rolling crushes him to death, it's not as obvious as it should or needs to be.

I'm wondering how much of the gear change is computerized. Like when you put the car in park, does the computer just lock the brakes and you hope that a glitch doesn't cause them to disengage?

E. Brakes aren't exactly common knowledge unfortunately. If all you've driven are automatics and never parked on an incline you might have no idea what that pedal/lever is for. A good prank to do on someone if you drive their car is to set the emergency brake and see what they do. Also holy poo poo that Jeep shifter is stupid.

Lazy Reservist posted:I thought it was common sense to engage the e-brake when parking on a hill. I've learned people are retarded when it comes to parking. I was an a traffic appeals board for awhile and we'd have people come in to dispute a ticket because they had their tires on the line and didn't understand that you were supposed to be inside the lines. And last year, some lady didn't put her car in park, then for some reason she got out and went to the front of the car. The car then decided to roll on top of her and then stop. She ended up taking awhile to die from the car pressing down on her, making it hard to breath. I guess cars, like dogs, sometimes decide to revert to their primal, undomesticated ways since this type of incident isn't new http://wncn.com/2016/05/31/woman-run-over-by-her-own-car-at-mcdonalds-drive-thru/

If only Chekov had followed suit. Edit: chitoryu12 posted:I'm wondering how much of the gear change is computerized. Like when you put the car in park, does the computer just lock the brakes and you hope that a glitch doesn't cause them to disengage? There's a wedge of metal called the parking pawl that's shoved in the teeth on a gear inside the transmission. That's the difference between park and neutral, and why every once in a while you see a car that's had a transmission failure just roll out of the driveway. Pawls aren't invincible, especially if you routinely let it hold the weight of the vehicle on a hill. Letting the car roll a few inches until it hits the pawl, and then when the pawl has to be yanked out under pressure when you put it in gear next time (which you can often hear and feel) causes wear.

Splode posted:Wait what? The E-brake is just the hand brake right? Do Americans seriously not use it? It's not necessarily a handbrake, an enormous number of them are a kind of unintuitive pedal to engage and a hand latch under the dashboard to disengage. I've only really seen people use them if they're used to driving a manual, to a lot of people they're probably the goofy kickstart pedal that they used once and their brakes started smoking a mile later. Almost everyone just puts the selector in park. The people who use them are the people who wince whenever the car rolls that extra 4 inches and stops on the parking pawl. hogmartin fucked around with this message at 00:55 on Jul 14, 2016 |
