Trivia time! You are on a 4 lane highway. There is a semi with a trailer in the left lane, an open right lane, and the road ahead is straight. The semi has remained in the left lane for the past couple of miles, and is showing no signs of merging into the right lane. You have a clear shot to pass him, however, like the good driver you are, you know how unwise it is to pass on the right, especially in the case of a tractor trailer. What do you do? Bonus points for most creative and well written answer.

Use the police light simulator app on your phone against the windscreen and pull him over. When he slows flick the bird and gently caress off!

If I think he is waiting to move right because there is still traffic in that lane that he can't judge the distance of very well, I'll leave him be, and usually get passed by several cars on the right before the truck can move over. However, if they're just tooling along in the left lane with nothing around, and have been for some time? Absolutely hammer down and undertake.

KozmoNaut posted:Unfortunately for my parents, 23 of their 25 radiators use return valve thermostats, and there are apparently no electronic return valve thermostats on the market. So they'll have to retrofit all of them with conventional valves. But when you're looking at saving ~10% on a $8000/year heating bill, it's probably a good idea anyway. How big is their house to have 25 radiators! I've got 6 and I hate paying for them!... How are the valves you have bought controlled? Is there a gateway device that sits on your internet to make the phone app work? I want to add my radiators and heating into my home automation setup but I h aven't yet found any affordable valves that work on 433mhz with the transmitter/receiver I have.

So does anyone here know how to make a non-HDCP compliant tv compliant? I just got a giant old 50" Nakamichi plasma for free and of course it's non compliant so the DVI input isn't working with the cable box or PS3.

Didn't check any other states but I bet it is legal elsewhere as well. Safety wise? Either hang out far back and flick your high beams till they move over, or pass like the wind, gently caress it.

MOPAR question: Today I drove this:  The chump salesperson had the fricking thing set to a Sirius XM hillbilly radio station - so I did the sensible thing and went fumbling for the "POWER" or "OFF" button for the radio. The guy tells me that there is no such thing - just a "Mute" button, which is so hilariously stupid I just assumed he was wrong and never asked that question again. So I pushed Mute, and after stopping in this little parking lot to look the car over, check out the trunk, (and take this photo), I started the car again - and the hillbilly poo poo was playing again. Salesperson said that you would need to just hit "Mute" every time you started the car. Is this true? Is there really no way to actually turn the radio **OFF**? Or do you just turn the volume all the way down, or set it to an AUX input with nothing connected if you just want silence? edit: The stereo was a UConnect 8.4 with Navigation

Normally I'm not a gambler because it feels like paying extra taxes, but gently caress, good on you for winning! I started doing my taxes already today to get a ballpark of how much I'm getting back  It's kind of like the lottery in that it's taxes I pay/paid, but different because there is less randomness about when I get the cash back

kastein posted:How many miles on it? Want to bet whether anyone has changed the plugs on the back, even if they've been changed on the front? 135k. Holy poo poo, what an ordeal. Took about 6 hours (in ~freezing temp) and 3 runs for parts/tools. So within the first 15 minutes, we pull the MAF and clean it, and that goes fine. Then I pull the crankcase vent hose from the intake, and it just snaps right off. Ok, that sucks. Also, its full of oil, and so is the intake. What the gently caress. Get the intake elbow (between airbox and throttle body) about half out, and realize there is a huge crack underneath it. Its literally about split in half. OK, well, that might have solved some of our vacuum leak issues... So at this point I am a little on tilt, because I am super worried about everything I touch falling apart like brittle skeletons in an Indiana Jones movie. But gently caress it, lets plow through. After disconnecting a shitload of stuff, get the manifold off. Swap the front coils to the back while changing the plugs, so we can make sure whichever one that was throwing a code should theoretically throw a code on a new cylinder now, and that cylinder is one of the front 3 that are easy to get. Clean his gross rear end throttle body (more oil and carbon build up), put in new intake manifold gaskets, replace the PCV valve (gummed up with oil),and get the manifold back on the car. Start buttoning everything back up so we can go to the parts store, and realize we snapped off the coolant line nipple on this weird plastic T-connector under the EGR. Fought the lovely hoses and got it out. So casualties total was only 3 parts, but its frustrating that we had to spend so long on it, and we werent able to get the parts tonight. Hitting yards/dealer/etc tomorrow. Goal is to get this thing running again by Tomorrow afternoon, worse case scenario we can just replace the T-shaped piece (we managed to order that with delivery tomorrow at a shop) and then tape up the intake tubing and jbweld the stupid crankcase hose back together til we get the parts we need. It has to be running by Monday so my friend can get to work. TLDR: A 12 year old Michigan car exploded to dust in my hands side note: What the gently caress does oil in the crankcase vent hose/intake/etc mean? PCV valve jammed shut?

My grandpa has a ram with that thing and I drove to Vancouver and back with him, and use it sometimes when I'm up visiting. I feel like there's an off button? If you'd asked last week I would be able to go out and check. The thing that annoys me is listening to music over Bluetooth. You have to wait for the phone to connect and then switch inputs every time. What makes it worse is defaults back to the radio and the volume is different. So you get back in the car and it's super loud radio.

sarcastx posted:Yeah I don't understand why most Bluetooth implementations suck so much; The protocol has some stupid poo poo designed into it, and to be "compliant" with the specification, the implementation needs to do certain things which are broken by design. The hardware ends up being super cheap, and that's the only thing that matters on the bottom line. Software, support, and user experience never factor into a BOM. You can polish a turd, but its still a turd.

This is the number 1 thing that pisses me off about my JSW. 90% of the time I want to stream music from my phone, but you have to wait a couple minutes before the phone connects and decides that it will actually play music. Phone says its playing, radio says its paused. Push play on the radio, music plays for ~2 seconds then stops. Have to take out my phone, push pause, wait a couple seconds then push play on the radio and it works. Or just wait ~5 minutes after the bluetooth connects, then switch to it on the radio and it works.

My brother has a truck from BC while living in Ontario. He needs to get some sort of out of province inspection done to make it actually legal to drive. Any ontario guys have a list of what he needs to check? I had a copy of the form for BC, and going through it would point out all the line item things that need to be fixed. Also any recommendations for a shop in Kingston?
