PSA: It's winter time, check your tire pressure because it's probably low!

[Born2bwire]

I figure using the words DOLE OUT would have given you enough hint :biggrin:

I doubt many Americans would understand the double meaning of "dole" as those in Canada or Europe.

Nitrogen, right?

Nah...that stuff will rot yer tires.
I want REAL air...

Make sure they replace the air filter on all 4 tires too...and that they lube up the gasket before attaching the new filters.

Might as well check the blinker fluid while they have the wheels off.

Damn...you must have a fancy car...I have to use a removable air filter for mine...and the blinker fluid reservoir is next to the headlight fluid reservoir under the backseat. DO NOT get them mixed up! It's comparable to crossing the streams...(it's a good thing the major manufacturers have them color-coded)

Like I said, drone.... I didn't say your position isn't important enough to matter, but shuffling papers around and filling out forms doesn't make you a decision maker despite the fact that the two are very similar.

The guys in the suits are the ones who make the final decisions, and they just so happen to NOT be engineers. Didn't you get the memo? Engineers and basically all the peons of a company are whipping boys.

You honestly have no idea what you're talking about. Editing and signing the patent documents that the lawyers have drawn up for the idea I came up with doesn't equal 'shuffling papers'. I have yet to have had a single design decision made by a 'guy in a suit'. I make the call, and if its something that needs to be reviewed it's reviewed by other engineers.

If the 'guys in suits' are making the design decisions without listening to the engineers its time to get out of the company because it's on its way down.

What's the point? If, as you say, a quarter of a mile is enough to produce a great increase in tire pressure, who really cares? Stop worrying about what tire pressures people run.

Where exactly do you work? What exactly does your company make?

It wastes gas, it wears tires prematurely, both things leading to more global warming and a general waste of money. Why spend money to make up for wasting money? That's like running the Air conditioning because the heater is broke and it's making the house too hot or keeping a window open in your apartment because they keep the furnace too hot.

I work at Honeywell Aerospace in their advanced tech division group for turbine engines. I'm currently working on an engine to replace the T700 in the Blackhawk. We're competing against GE.

No, he doesn't have any idea what he's talking about. He's here for the sake of amusement. The banning of casiotech created a vacuum. It sucked him in. I'm incredibly amused at the thought of anyone taking car advice from him. I think "driving a car" more accurately refers to operating a radio controlled car in his case. What is he? 15? 16?

And I too - even when I was an engineering intern in a large international ceramics company, the company president took my research & recommendations seriously. Fleabag really doesn't have a clue - apparently his entire reality is based upon one EE's post here on the foru..ms... OHHHHhhhhhhhhh, now I get it. He's an "expert" on topics because he's read about them. He actually has zero experience though, but that still hasn't held him back from being smarter than automotive engineers in Korea. And without even a high school diploma! Impressive!

I for one would like to hear his ideas on various political topics of the day. I can't wait for his views on the gold standard.

I would read that.

 

[BoomerD]

Fleabag posting on politics should be........interesting.

Presumably, his daddy once told him about tire pressure and that makes it the WORD, and nothing anyone else says will change his mind.

 

[SSSnail]

What if I like to check my tire pressure WHILE driving?

 

[grrl]

It's far easier for people to remember to check their tire pressure when it gets cold than to check it once a month. If you tell people to check it once a month, they'll never do it, but at the very least if you tell them to check it when it gets cold, they're more likely to do it.

That's true for me. Now if I could only remember to take a f*cking jacket whenever it's cold out.

lol

people like to block you but i haven't cause i need a good laugh once in a while.

The worst part is when people reply to him and then I see his blocked posts.

 

[Born2bwire]

I can no longer contain my unrequited man love for l0cke.

That's a damn shame.

I blame the consumerisation of journalism. No longer are journalists sitting at the desk pondering the best constructs for a particular paragraph. All they do now is copy and paste from another website :biggrin:

 

[sdifox]

fleabag, here is a thought. Unlike other people here, I think you have a talent. You should use it to its full potential.

Have you ever considered posting in Politics & News?

 

[DivideBYZero]

Well, this went as expected.

 

[brianmanahan]

this is important to remember as winter comes earlier nowadays
