Mystery connector?

cross-posted from: https://pixelfed.crimedad.work/p/crimedad/737465455661102710

> Mystery connector? > > I added some washer fluid to my car and noticed, for the first time in 17 years, that there's an unused connector near the top front of my engine compartment next to the battery box intake. Is it supposed to be unused? Am I missing something? I have no error lights except for the air bag, but that's because the spring ring or whatever it's called in the steering wheel wore out. The car is a 2007 Mazda 3 hatchback. > > \#mazda #diy #CarRepair > > @[email protected]

Instead of price controls to prevent gouging, why doesn't the government build up reserves and stockpiles?

Mechanic said I need brakes. 🤔

I don't think I have more than 17,000 miles on these pads and it seems like I have plenty left. It's like this all the way around. Am I wrong to think that I have some time before I need brake service?

  • What is it about the text messages and emails sent by older people that make me feel like I'm having a stroke?
  • Well, here's an example from my mom:

    […] please give John my cell # so that he can send or re-send the travel info. He sent it when I was at urgent care house but it has disappeared—thanks

    I had a hard time with this one because of the combination of ambiguous context, autocorrect, and genuine concern for my mom's health as an aging person. We know multiple Johns and it seems like she thinks I was present for a conversation she had with one of them. Thankfully, she was never at an "urgent care house". I think she was trying to type "ur house" and that's where autocorrect decided to help. There's no need to shorten "your" to "ur" anymore, but she still does.

    From my older bosses, I frequently encounter run-on sentences combined with missing punctuation, prepositions, and conjunctions. I have to re-read these messages multiple times to figure them out. If I ask for clarification then somehow I end up looking like the idiot.

    I obviously do not have a statistical sample, but it also seems like the worst offenders are iPhone users. Maybe I'm just used to a physical keyboard and Google keyboard on Android, but I feel sabotaged whenever I have to type on my daughter's iPad. If my elders are typing on bad software keyboards, that certainly isn't helping.

  • My five year old asked me what calculus is.
  • Thanks for posting this kind of stuff. I love the day-in-a-life content.

    As for calculus, I'm not sure there's more a 5 yo could grasp! But if there is, you could show how a bunch of straight lines arranged just so make a very smooth curve. Reminds me of my time spent playing Line Rider way back when. It's also handy if ever you need to round a corner with some scissors!
