    Faulty sensors

    Oh, and the sensor is cheap, just a mild pain to reach, but is totally inedible.

    Faulty sensors

    How are those sensors? I currently have a CEL on the Smart, and have to fix it to pass emissions. What's the "sensor?" It's the simple switch to detect the position of a simple coolant diverter. What's it do? It's the windshield wiper fluid heater. Yes, that's what I said, It's gonna fail emissions because the wiper fluid is cold. In Phoenix. In August.

    There are multiple sensors possible; occupancy which I *think* is capacity and then Occupant Classification System which is probably some sort load cell. I have little exposure to these. None of them are simple. Then there are body control modules, impact sensors, and much more. All different sensors. Maybe one ECU and one source of fuckery. Oxygen sensor, I guess simple, but also not. Simple on/off. On the BMW they were one time use. The Mini is sort of a BMW. Did you replace them? Dirt cheap. What is "radiation" and what should and should not be called "radiation?" Ionizing? RF? EMF? Light? Magnetic flux? Gravity? Your question is a great exploration of a general problem, but the answer, I think, is that "sensor" is a simple way to refer to a very broad set of things that detect physical properties of many kinds. And things like your multi-sensor issue imply a detector or interpreter problem. ABS ECUs for example are notorious for giving falses if the battery is low or there's a marginally bad ground. They are cunty. I'm glad I drive a really simple truck that doesn't have a single idiot light on the dash, not one.

    Huh? What sensor(s)? Of what type? Did you drink your lunch? Get your head too close to the irradiator thingy? On/off is a type of sensor. Changing resistance is another type. And then there are many others. Photo stimulus can create a pseudo-semiconductor reaction, you can have inductance, flux, many types of sensors.
  5. Of course, why not? If by "eat" you mean try it and then decide how/if it fits in my nutrition and like/dislike/cooking.
  6. Well, the headline has a probable lie or at least purposely misleading line, so...can it be good?
  7. Recent conversation: The amount of disease and overall fuckery that we're creating with factory farming birds is absolutely retarded. This is where our species-threatening viruses come from.
  8. Well, I've started a shitstorm. Can you believe that people are afraid to make a stink at the risk of "upsetting" the car service center/manufacturer? But they will join my #MeToo movement. I have a CA lemon law/class action attorney's attention. I know it's very unusual for me to start some shit. Also the number of people who say "doesn't happen to my wife" and then I ask "is she fat?" LOL....!!! Moriah is in the bottom 5th or 3rd percentile of weight, but I can still make the joke.
  9. I scan mine too. I only made fun of the idiocy of holding paper. Don't forget to pressure test the crank bearings.
  10. I agree and will, my comment was only meant to say that I have no opinion yet. Cholesterol is not a problem I face, but I eventually watch everything from those two.
  11. My doctor said he's on board with this and has seen the evidence that dihydroberberine does what I described above. He used almost the same words. It takes the spikes and the edge off. Not a miracle at all, and possibly not even keeping A1C/total glucose down, but it's definitely beneficial for that reason, and very cheap. Also note that the dihydro version is very different from just berberine. Oh, and there's no need to buy the expensive one in the youtube ad, he says, and so does everything I can find in studies.
  12. Fixed, and also, starting the new server migration this week.
  13. There was a security upgrade that fucked it up. Well it's secure. No spam for sure. Fuckers.
  14. Haven't watched this. I have good familiarity with the B vitamin family however if discussing it interests you. I do injectable regularly since limiting animal products limits some of them.
  15. Congrats, now on to checking the radiator clearances and pressure testing the crank bearings.
  16. My words exactly. Goddammit. Edit: You're closer, it's your responsibility to buy it before I do.
  17. Yeah, in every other car (BMW, Tesla, Smart, etc) we needed a fake seatbelt activation latch for Arlo and even heavy groceries (he's 53 pounds). So now that's another question; are there two sensors, or two triggers? One for seat belt ding and one for airbag? It seemed to be one and the same in all other cars. She always latches it if the dog is in the front seat, and the back seats do NOT cause it to give the seat belt warning in the Rivian, but did in the Tesla.
  18. I haven't loaded a bike at all yet. However talking to people who have used the cross-wise hit carriers on a few vehicles, EV and fuel, their experience with massive range loss tells me not to. Looks good though. Now I need to actually load up a bike and do a range test.
  19. 🙄 McD patties are all beef, even with no salt or pepper or anything else added. The only potential dig, if you don't understand it, is that they use dairy beef, not "beef beef." Dairy beef is leaner and more chewy which in many ways makes it healthier by reducing saturated fats. They have a policy of doing their own regular inspections of providers. Now, if you want to talk about something, let's try the "chicken" McNuggets. So back on topic, many people have reported this, and I found only one who had actually filed an NHTSA complaint which is being ignored so far.
  20. She's allergic to beef, so this would definitely not work. There would not be a lot left, but it's the cheapest colon cleanse.
  21. I forgot to note, they are made by Hyundai/Kia so experience with those vehicles would be most useful.
  22. No seat covers or anything, and it happens mostly if she's leaned a bit back and/or slouching. So the ACTUAL weight on the sensor is under 100, but that should be accounted for. No other car does this. The official answer was the whole 100 pound thing, and "sit up straight like mom told you." She can give the seat a bounce and it turns the warning off/airbag on. It seems to have a single sensor, and mostly near the back. I think it's bad design, and am pretty sure I'll file a complaint. At least they solved the practical problem of hiding the AC controls when there was no passenger.
