I really wish I had a tesla though. I drive mostly highway and having even their basic autopilot would make my commute so much easier. I've sat in one with just their basic autopilot and I thought it was fantastic.

Isn't basic autopilot just adaptive cruise control + lane keep assist/lane centering? Which you can find in almost every car. Chevy SuperCruise/Ford BlueCruise/Nissan ProPilot Assist is pretty good, Hyundai/Kia/Genesis lane centering is really good, Toyota lane keep ping-pongs (last tried in 2020), and VWs you can euro mod lane keep to lane centering and get stop-and-go traffic assist (aka it goes to 0).

i recall in interviews he said that he's lost a couple vertebrae due to decades of doing thousands of leg drops (basically jumping and landing on your tail bone). health wise i wasn't even sure it's possible to just remove vertebrae or whatever but that's kind of scary if true.

I don't ever recall him being a racist, but I see other similarities between him and Hulk Hogan.

Which manufacturers/models are these examples?
Mach E, GMC Acadia??, EV6.

Nice, you got all 3! Except that the EV6 interface isn't specific to EV6: Kia deployed it across almost their entire lineup, regardless of ICE or EV.

I didn't like the Mercedes style shifter when I first got mine... but after using it for a couple days it's pretty intuitive, not all that different from the old column shifters and more... elegant? to use compared to a column shifter. It's nice to have the console area free for other stuff too.

Is it a twist-type, column mounted? Imo that's the best possible outcome. I like it on our i3. Doesn't take your hands away from the controls, and doesn't take up real estate in the console area.

Let's face it, this forum are full of people locked into the way cars are designed in the 90's - round steering wheel, turn signal stalk on the left, physical shifter on the right, 2 or 3 pedals, physical buttons for heat/AC, side mirrors. With the exception of a button here or there changed, or screen sharper and bigger, every 'innovation' will be seen as unnecessary ... :lol.

I mean you're generally right... but some of this stuff was truly thoughtlessly designed.

E.g. moving to touch-based controls (whether that's a touchscreen or capacitive touch buttons): the driver of a vehicle has limited pools of cognitive & visual perceptual resource, and the more that can be spent on actually keeping their car on the road, the safer and better the driving experience.

Since neither touchscreen nor capacitive touch input methods provide any tactile reference, you have to draw from the visual perceptual resource.

The touchscreen is probably the worst, where it's a whole contextual UI that pulls hard cognitive cycles: you have to now even think about what wtf is on that screen and how to interact with it, before you can even carry out your intent.

Haptic feedback is completely unhelpful because that's just superficial feedback to confirm you touched something, after the fact. It doesn't help you aim, it only gives you a sense of satisfaction that yeah "you did a thing".

Ergonomically, there's not even a way to stabilize your gross motor system before you try to do the fine-honing of your fingers to the tiny ass icon in the UI, to do what you wanted to do. Operating little touchscreen buttons was already a pretty intense cognitive / visual perceptual feedback loop, even before adding that your fingers' local coordinate system is shifting as your whole damn arm wobbles in the air!

Compare that to a tactile input system (e.g. mechanical switches and buttons) which:
a) provide the physical references for your fingers so they can freely fumble and grope for the controls: you can eventually commit that to "muscle memory" and carry out your intent with your cognitive and visual perceptual system cut completely out of the loop. You've now
b) provide you a way to for you to stabilize your gross motor system before engaging fine motor actuation, because the controls have a non-zero actuation force threshold.

Just imagine your computer keyboard was a touchscreen. You'd have to go back to staring at it, and slowing down to 2-thumb input.

E.g. electronically actuated doors: one issue with this architecture is that the sensing system's prone to false positives, while simultaneously it isn't capable of higher reasoning... but you can't even help it out because you've been totally locked out of the decision making process: it is overriding you. It's a tripple-whammy of shittification.

The paradigm typically used for Lane Keep Assist is a better match for this scenario, imo. You basically want this thing to be primarily a warning system, and instead of preventing you from opening the door, it should just be some sort of tactile friction or nudge. Maybe add some damping to the door hinge, or vibration / pulsing to the door handle, along with beeps and light flashes.

The other issue is that you've introduced more points of failure to a safety-critical mechanism (getting the heck out of your car during a fire). It's totally ridiculous that a catastrophic event of a vehicle fire results in a single point of failure that causes risk of injury and prevention of escape.

And if there's a backup mechanical override, it's now going to be:
a) something you have to look for*, wasting seconds to minutes of time to escape**, and
b) not often being tested. I.e. at least if a standard mechanical door latch mechanism were to fail, you'd have detected that failure before you had to depend on it when a catastrophic event (like a car fire) occurred. Because you wouldn't have even been able to get into your car in the first place.
*I had no idea how to manually open the doors in the Mustang Mach-E, and google says there's a release somewhere inside the door armrest. Just the fact that there is no standardization to this across different vehicles is an issue, and it's not even consistent within a vehicle like in the case of the Model Y where the front and rear doors have different kinds of emergency releases.
**What about from the outside?? Even with the doors unlocked, how is anyone supposed to open the door and pull you out of the burning vehicle?

The MB one is like a wiper stalk, go down for D go up for R and the P is a button at the end. It's not bad but definitely doesn't feel manly or chunky which is why the AMG GT used buttons and then eventually a console mounted shifter in the 2019 and up version.


Ergonomically, there's not even a way to stabilize your gross motor system before you try to do the fine-honing of your fingers to the tiny ass icon in the UI, to do what you wanted to do. Operating little touchscreen buttons was already a pretty intense cognitive / visual perceptual feedback loop, even before adding that your fingers' local coordinate system is shifting as your whole damn arm wobbles in the air!



For this, a good designer mitigates the stabilization issue by leaving space for your other fingers to rest around the screen while you press the software button on the screen. The Audi screens are designed in such a way that you can kind of splay your fingers out for purchase while you press something, and the important functions are arrayed around the edges in large squares to make it easier to reach.

Still not as good as buttons but better than nothing.

Think there’s a couple things after following it for a bit

Almost certainly there’s aspects of the hockey bro culture, I’d say certainly she came back willingly to fuck the first guy etc.

The testimony and how the judge outlined how her own story wasn’t consistent etc. and aspects of the story that were made public seem like she was intentionally egging people on, maybe it turned into more than she expected. The stories also say there is video of her around the time of the incident and she isn’t completely hammered etc. like she tried to claim

On the flip side almost certainly she was taken advantage of given the situation.

There are also things to consider like she had previously settled out of court with Hockey Canada, so was she after money? Did this initial settlement make her feel like she could squeeze more out of it? Was she embarrassed the story came out because of the initial trial and now wanted to “punish” the individuals involved?

I’d say overall there was essentially assault, however the intent can’t be proven and there’s enough evidence that she was a willing participant to some degree. However, all the hockey players can likely afford superior representation and if you’ve got an expensive enough lawyer, you’ll probably get off almost anything

Great68
07-24-2025, 04:20 PM
The crown is the entity that decides to file charges and bring criminal cases to trial, not the victim. This trial seems like it was more a result of public pressure.

The whole case was centered around what defines consent. Reading the testimonies there's no evidence this woman ever denied consent.

This quote from the Judge has to be quote of the year:

“You can’t possibly be saying that a woman who puts a man’s penis in her mouth is not communicating that she wishes to”

CBC Lays it out pretty well:



According to the Judge, E.M.:

- Contradicted her own testimony about initiating physical contact at the bar, changing her story only AFTER being shown video evidence.
- Appeared sober and spoke coherently on video during and after the incident, a finding made by the judge undermining her claim of incapacitation.
- Admitted in a text to one of the accused that she consented to sex with him.
- Texted a third-party friend right after the incident that she was "being dramatic" and that she had put herself in a "bad situation."
-Texted that same friend the next day that she "hadn’t been 'lit enough' that night." Again this goes against her claim she was incapacitated by alcohol.
- Was described in testimony by one teammate as "vocally" expressing what she wanted sexually in the hotel room.
-Was described in testimony by another teammate (not on trial) as "chirping" the players, egging them on, and calling them "pussies" for not engaging with her.
- Testified that she did not believe the men would have physically prevented her from leaving the room, which undermined her claim of being trapped by fear.
- Rejected an offer of help from a friend at the bar, replying that she was "fine," and then ignored that friend's subsequent calls and messages.
- Altered her story about comments made by the players, describing them as "joking" to police but later as "intimidating and frightening" in her civil lawsuit.
- Provided a statement in 2022 about falling in front of a player established at trial as "not true."
- Gave inconsistent testimony about fundamental facts, such as being unable to reliably identify which players were in the room.

From I’ve read she basically said they weren’t rough enough for her and egged them on. I don’t care if you’re 19 or 39. Hear that shit and sexcapades will level up.

I’m happy the boys were found innocent after reading what I had read. Easy paycheque denied. Bitches be cray. If she was unwilling, then rightfully toss the book at them.

Thing is, she already got the easy paycheque. Hockey Canada paid her 3.5 million in civil settlement.

The police/crown had already decided they weren't going to prosecute criminally, citing lack of evidence that there was no consent. It was public outrage that caused them to reconsider and go to trial, and surprise surprise they lost for that exact reason.

??? I think you’re confused about what this was. Civil and criminal are not the same thing. She didn’t bring this case against them, the police/crown decided to pursue assault charges. There was no money in this for her? She already got paid 3.5M from Hockey Canada hush money.

How often do you guys do brake maintenance?

I drive like 5k a year since I work fully remote and the car is about to hit 3 years old (got it August 2022).

Mazda suggested I do it - front and rear brake maintenance (disassemble, inspect, clear and lubricate components).

I've never really heard of proactively disassembling the brakes just to clean & lubricate them. I only do this when I'm actually changing the rotors & pads, or there's otherwise an issue (sticking caliper, pulling to one side etc).
My Speed 3 is still on it's 16 year old rear pads & rotors (117,000kms), I've never touched them and they're fine.

Never.

My Mazdaspeed 3 had it's original rear pads from 2009 up until 2015 when I hit the track for the first time and swapped for something more aggressive for the rear. Kept the original rear rotor as it was still mint.

The front pads was original form 2009 up until 2014 when I needed new pads and got new rotors to go with it. Otherwise it was never taken apart.

How often do you guys do brake maintenance?

I drive like 5k a year since I work fully remote and the car is about to hit 3 years old (got it August 2022).

Mazda suggested I do it - front and rear brake maintenance (disassemble, inspect, clear and lubricate components).

My buddy did his at 4 years, but he started tracking last year so he redid all his brakes, lines and fluids.

Otherwise I've just been bringing it in for yearly oil changes and door/hinge lubrications.

I think it's enough just to monitor your pad wear (you might just ask them to do it, since even though it's a visual inspection without disassembly, it's kinda hard to stick your head behind the wheel to look at the rear pad yourself). That'll straight up tell you if your calipers are sticking or anything. Which totally could happen. But if you're just street driving this, maybe it's even fine to just rely on the squealing you'd start to get from them if there was premature wear.

Pads aren't *that* expensive that you'd be sad if they got ground down early (as opposed to tires: screwed up alignment that wipes out all your tread is expensive!), and it's not like you're going to suddenly lose your braking all of a sudden like you would on the track.

Hijacking this question how often do you all follow the manufacturers recommended intervals for things outside of oil changes i.e. Transmission, brake, rear differential fluids etc

If you don't drive a lot i.e. 10k or less a year do you feel you can get away with dragging things out significantly longer?

Great68
07-25-2025, 01:50 PM
I follow the schedule for coolant, because coolant can lose it's properties and become more corrosive over time.
My Mazda doesn't even show a replacement interval for transmission fluid (just gear oil) I just did it for the first time last year at 115k.
Brake fluid: I use a tester, if it fails (shows high moisture content) then I'll replace it.
My Mazda blew it's clutch slave back in 2013 at 60k, and since it shares the fluid reservoir with the brakes I effectively got my brake fluid flushed at that time lol, but even 12 years later it's testing clean.
For the F150 I had the dealership do a fluid replacement on the transmission at 95k when it went in for that programming recall where the 6R80's were apparently moneyshifting. Perfect timing.

Engine oil, I keep it to a year on the M3 due to a ton of short trips which is high wear and also condensation issues.
The X5 being a plugin the engine actually rarely comes on. I'm debating stretching that out to two years since the engine itself does maybe 1000km a year while the EV part of the drivetrain does the rest.

Brake fluid intervals from manufacturer are usually quite generous at around 4 years. At even say $200 a change it's nothing. Granted I've only ever cooked my fluid once, it was on my parents Caravan, I picked it up from the mechanic and went to pick up my gf from work and went to have dinner. The new pads they put on has a scrubbing layer which generated a lot of heat and it cooked the old fluid and the pedal went to the ground. Took pumps to get the van to stop.

Diff/tranny - 4 years. Do it together with the brake fluid. I don't buy the lifetime fill BS. Just learned that the transfer case on the ZF8 is weak, the interval is 4 years but there's no guarantee it will last that long. Our X5 just got a new transfer case under warranty.

Hondaracer
07-25-2025, 02:26 PM
The entire transfer case? Isn’t that thing brand new? Lol

In regards to brakes I check them when I swap tires. Kind of impossible to tell wear if the rear pads even with the tire off, but I figure if the front pads are still health and nothing is grinding I’m ok.

With our G I have the “lifetime” transmission fluid however.. I have the full maintenance records back to the original owner and about 20,000 KM and funny enough, at 65,000 KM Nissan changed the fluid. I can’t tell if that’s when the car was traded back in to Infinity or if it was due to something else, but it’s kind of funny they replaced their own “lifetime” fluid on what appears to be a scheduled maintenance

Badhobz
07-25-2025, 03:31 PM
^pretty sure all those Nissan techs have PTSD with those shitty CVTs and their shitty CVT fluid that they just change out your non CVT tranny fluid out of habit/fear.

Never trust any of those lifetime fluids or even modern day dealership intervals. I would say 7000km for oil or every 6 months. Brake fluid i do every 2 years and transmission/diff fluid i do every 5 years.

Most important is the oil. Modern day intervals are utterly horseshit especially when almost everything is turbo charged and thus even more susceptible to oil breaking down. Especially those German brands that advertise yearly oil change. Lawl, fuck you vw and your 25,000km oil changes.

Yeah the entire thing. We bought it used so it's just under 4 years old with 53k on it now.

I've heard a few different takes on it, the clutches are sticking, or the fluid gets dirty and there's premature wear. Either ways seems to be happening on the higher power and heavier cars. Not hearing it a lot on the smaller 4 cylinder cars

BMW N62 V8 (2002–2010): $90k new, now a smoke-belching nightmare. Valve seals fail by 80k miles, coolant pipe buried inside engine block requires engine removal for a $40 fix. Gaskets leak everything. Early iDrive is a glitchy mess. Owning one is like dating a supermodel who burns your house down then asks for more money.

Mercedes W220 S-Class (1999–2006): Six-figure car, especially the S600 V12 BiTurbo. ABC suspension costs 5k per corner to fix. Electronics fail constantly. V12 engine has twin turbos, twin ECUs, miles of vacuum lines, and spark plugs that cost more than rent. Feels like a private jet until it bankrupts you.

Transfer case issues on current X5s appear somewhat regularly on Bimmer forums - I see owners reporting issues since the first model year so I don't think COVID is to blame for this.

Is Lees Donuts actually run by a Chinese guy? I always thought it was some White Guy with the last name Lee. Because you know, donuts. Maybe I'm a bit racist for thinking that.

Lee Donuts was founded by the Confederate General Robert E. Lee in 1864 in Northern Virginia during the American Civil War. /s

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/lee-s-donuts-legacy-1.7275222

Yep, they bought it in 2018 and their father is the owner/founder of Armando's Finest Meat's on Granville Island which has been around for 40 years. They may not be white but they're pretty much local considering their roots.

Myself, I love a fresh honey dip from Lee's and I think them and Duffin's both do a great job with those. Their other donuts are just ok though, they are not gourmet donuts by any means.

https://honeydoughnuts.com - This is the Deep Cove one that gets love from a lot of celebrities. It's a different style of donut so not for everyone, I can't recall how to describe it. Some LOVE it, some think it's totally overrated.


Used to be great with free parking to hike up Deep Cove or cycle there. But man, it's not even a donut no more. It's like a FIST of dough and it's BIG and healthy. Don't go there for just hte donut. GO there AFTER kayak / hike up quarry rock and it then become a bit more of a reward.

Luckily there are 2 more cafes opened within a block so it's not so bad to find an alternative.

Where do you guys get your frozen dunplings/wontons/dim sum? Looking for some authentic places with not too much onion/chive/MSG and not big markets like tnt/h mart

Oh, I forgot another one - Dumpling King is a restaurant on Kingsway near the Joyce Safeway (and in Richmond too). They sell their dumplings frozen and I think their pan fried King dumplings might just be the best dumplings in town - they're like a combination of soup dumplings and potstickers. My wife immediately could tell that I went to my happy place when I had my first bite.

I haven't bought them b/c I'm not sure I can pan fry them as well as them.

One of the girls in the family of the new Lee's ownership is a smoke show :lol

As a donut aficionado, I'd rank as the following:

1. Tie -- Fox & Oak (Squamish) & Lee's Granville (other locations are mid)
2. Duffins (surprisingly they have one of the best honey dips IMHO)
3. Lucky's (they've gone downhill lately)
4. Harmony Donuts in NV
5. Cream Pony
6. Honey's
7. Donut Love in Coquitlam

What the heck. Is there at least a revised version now, or are you guys now sitting on time bombs just reset for 4 years? Lol

Looked at the worksheet, same part number, no revision. My advisor said it's so far been luck of draw. If you are lucky it'll last the life of the vehicle.

Also spoke with a friend who is a service advisor at PCR. Cayennes have the exact same issue and he said it's luck as well.

I wonder if it's cause your X5 is a covid-era car that it requires so much warranty repairs so far. My mom's had an X5 since the first gen, and the third gen and it's been fine aside from regular maintenance.

It's hit and miss with these cars, there's a percentage chance you get an absolutely lemon with Toyota or Honda as well, your chances are just much lower than with a BMW or Merc.

Transfer case issues on current X5s appear somewhat regularly on Bimmer forums - I see owners reporting issues since the first model year so I don't think COVID is to blame for this.

I haven't heard any X5/X7 friends experiencing issues with their cars, so it might be luck of the draw.

My SA has done over 10 for the G05 generation of X5. X7 are typically rarer cars so I'm guessing it doesn't come up as much. For a vehicle that sells about 5000 units a year in Canada, it's a pretty high incidence rate.

I'll never know why people like Lee's Donuts (Granville Island), shitty donuts from Chinamen, about the same quality as Duffins on Knight Street. Chinese people should stick to their specialty and leave the donuts to the white fat folks. Can I fail you for listing Krispy Kreme?

One of the best ever is Goldie's at Horshoe Bay. Damn straight.

If you ever drive to Squamish, Fox and Oat is also da bomb!
Lee's used to be good. They are horseshit now. It's a nostalgia thing for people.
Harmony is disgusting. It's like white spot. It's always been awful but people who grew up with it are conditioned.
Cream pony is awesome. Lucky's is good. Honeys is good but I prefer yeast donuts to cake donuts so I'm not super into it. I'll try Goldies. I've heard good things and they have a parking lot which will lend itself to some e30 pics.

Triple O's is much better despite being the same brand. Granted I haven't had Triple O's in more than 10 years so I don't know if they are still good.

We just had White Spot this past Sunday. I LOVE their blueberry pie even though it is supposed to be dead simple the way they make it. But something about their combination of simple ingredients just always hits the spot -- unless that particular store cheaps out on putting enough blueberries on the crust.

Their legendary burger + side + blueberry pie has its price hiked to $20 now. Last year it was $18. And I wish the burger was bigger too.

But I also know inflation is hitting restaurants hard, so I am not faulting White Spot for doing what they are doing because at the end of the day, a burger + side + pie is still a very good value in my books.

I had ot google what the shit this blueberry pie is. Flames were given on how "simple" the pie is. I do appreicate a pie that's not dip is sugar water or sugar yellow filling. FOr once it's just blueberry with a glaze ( so it's not dry) and spray of whipping cream. Definitely reminds me of a seasonal offering esp in BC when blueberry season is in.

Another mass shooting in the U.S.:


https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/nyc-manhattan-shooting-shane-tamura-07-29-25


What’s happening: After four people were gunned down yesterday in a Midtown Manhattan office building, the New York Police Department is sending investigators to Las Vegas, where the gunman lived, to learn more about the possible motive for the deadly rampage.

• The shooter: Shane Devon Tamura, 27, walked into the building carrying an assault rifle — and a suicide note in his back pocket alleging that he suffered from CTE, a brain disease linked to head trauma, according to a source. Mayor Eric Adams said investigators believe Tamura was headed for the NFL offices, but he took the wrong elevator.

• The victims: They included an off-duty New York police officer who was the father of two young sons, an executive at investment firm Blackstone, a security guard described by his union as a “New York hero” and a Cornell graduate who worked for the building owner. An NFL employee was seriously injured, according to a staff memo.

I think it says if you’re broke you shouldn’t throw stones

If you ever come to a RS meat. I’m gonna bring a bottle of booze and Everytime you mention anti vax shit I’m gonna force you to take a shot. By the end of the night you’ll be so passed out that I’ll get Mikey’s gf nurse to shoot you with a Covid vaccine

Money isn't even real, I have a great life on $0 a month or 10k, just in different ways. Different pains, different pleasures.

Have their been tough times? Absolutely... but that shit builds character. An easy life makes you weak...

No amount of money would make me happy if I had submitted to the dysgenic ghouls in charge like Adrian Dix and that goblin Dr. Tam.

Weirdo.

I should buy you the big book of British smiles for Christmas.

According to an order-in-council as first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter, Tam’s maximum pay has increased to $324,000 a year, up from $265,000 for her previous salary.

$324,000 a year and its teeth look like that?

>Biden voice< C'mon man!

Maybe it is just years of reading people and being socially outgoing... but the first things to notice about a stranger is their teeth and their shoes. Those two things tell you so fucking much about the person and situation.

Dr. Tam has those heebie-jeebie teeth that remind me of a goblin. Why would anyone choose to have goblin teeth? They're a goblin on the inside, too.

On poor people, shit teeth... sure. The moving industry in the Okanagan doubled the count of the teeth of the entire workforce last summer when I was working.

Top doctor has goblin teeth? Zero excuse... unless the person's exterior is reflecting their interior thoughts and beliefs.

she may have grown up poor, and only got success in adulthood, where maybe she thinks it's not worth it, who knows.

i paid for my own work in my 20's, now with benefits i prob could get a bit more work covered under benefits, but i'm like nah f it, i'm old and it's cosmetic (i already fixed what mattered for dental health years ago)

They know they'll be on TV and heavily scrutinized... why not fix the teeth?

It seems like a deliberate uglification of leadership. You shouldn't even be allowed in that position with teeth that fuckin' ugly.

Go look at any video of Aidrian Dix lately, his fucking hair is so ugly, it looks like he's balding and stapled some tangled up fishing line on his forehead and he couldn't care less.

Not sure about you guys, but I can't vote for someone too ugly because I can't trust an ugly rich person at all. If you're ugly and rich, you have serious ugliness inside you that manifests as an ugly exterior.

If you’ve got jacked up teeth generally your dental health is also poor. Crossed teeth etc are very difficult to clean or avoid plaque etc and typically bad for the roots

I’ve been going to the dentist every 6 months my entire life and I’ve also had braces twice. As an adult I definitely felt you look poor if you’re teeth are all jacked up

Knowledge is a journey and a process, that's for sure. I feel like AI Music has really opened my mind up even more, as you can hear such good new music, for free, every day. Compared to the radio where it is the same cliche shit, same stars over and over and over.

When was the last time you were really impressed with a new technology or process you use at work, or something that really enhances your life? AI Music has really, really enhanced my life and I think listening to new music helps enhance IQ and focus. Hearing shit like "Back in Black" or "Here's a little ditty about Jack and Diane..." one more time and I'll snap! Fucking blue collar job sites play classic rock and you hear the same shit over and over and over again. Mentally draining.

Who makes a Greek style pizza that I must try in town? That Minerva one in Kerridale that Ryan Reynolds always go to?

I'v been to Olympia on Denman, pizza there is decent, tried that but most of the time when I'm at a Greek restaurant, I'm there for the calamari, Moussaka, or roast lamb ... rarely do I order pizza.

last weekend i finally used my ooni koda 16 after being in the box for 2 years lol.

despite having a bit of trouble controlling the super hot temps, cooked 4 pizzas and they were all great. crazy how fast they cook.. under 2 minutes for sure.
