    Well I always chock the rear wheels. There is no 'park' gear since it the transmission is manual, so I was wondering if the shifter should be in 1st position or neutral. I guess I was curious if there was any danger of messing up the transmission or some other part of the drive train if the...

    Changing a front tire on FWD MT car.

    Been changing my all-seasons over to winter tires by myseld for a few years now, but never really thought about whether the car should be in gear or in neutral. I've been keeping it in neutral with the parking break applied. Haven't had any trouble so far, but I thought I would double check...

    Why are Bic Macs and Quarter Pounders so much better...

    Upscaling 720p to 1440p

    I've read that upscaling 1080p to 2160p (4k) resolution looks decent because one pixel outputted by the video card is stretched by an even number and displayed at the monitor's resolution. Would upscaling 720p to a 1440p display produce the same effect?

    Do you like your job?

    I voted no. I should like my job considering most jobs like it aren't organized or have moved to countries where organized labour doesn't exist. But I don't like it one bit.
