Can’t blame them. Autopen was killing us. To say otherwise is ridiculous. My last word on this.

Everyone has bias, and that's a fact.

Bias is based on opinion. I look at the hard facts and leave it at that. I am biased in terms of feeling the gov is a hot mess of a colonized cover-up.  Beyond that I only care about facts. 

 

Fact is everything they say has and will be twisted,  misconstrued and flat out lies. 

 

I mean you start talking about bias when you are faced with hard facts. That shows your not open for a legit discussion to learn from. 

 

Feel free to believe what they feed you. I don't, I actually look for and find the truth behind their lies. 

 

Peace to ya...

Actually, bias is based on experiences and influence, as well as natural cognitive process. Opinions are formed in part by our biases. If one's experience is consuming Fox's news, shaft AND balls, and generally kibitzing with an uneducated crowd who thinks the government is out to take their money, then yeah, I can see what you're eating and where it's coming from. Mmm.

 

I love informed discussion about climate. However, if your "smoking gun" is the government is a hot mess of a "colonized cover-up", and climate change isn't real because someone is trying to make money, I'm done. That's some hot bovine scatology covered in horsefeathers, and tangential to the effect that industrialization has on climate.

 

Peace? Are you off in a huff to go watch cartoons, too?

There must be a minimum level of education or we argue with ourselves. 
This is also why wars start.  Atlas brings reality to those who are unable or choose not to engage in facts. Facts are facts regardless of what we BELIEVE. 

 

Thanks for trying.

You know what we called marines and sailors who could not figure out who and where the real enemy was in combat? Casualties. 
 

Most of the pap I read online are mostly men who would be dead ☠️ in combat because they can’t get outside their head.

If I bring up education, the retort is usually either something about elites, or liberal brainwashing camps (colleges/universities). It's a trained response to discredit higher education and distract from what universities really do. Guess what? I've been, and it's not what people who haven't been think it is, but a lot of people sure do change their opinions of things there. Gee, I wonder why education is under attack right now.

 

But I'm not even talking about holding a degree here. I'm talking about considering and studying the volumes of information on climate change. Anyone can choose to educate themselves as long as they can read and listen. I am not an expert on climate change. But I can poke holes in and logically sort out all the arguments which have nothing to do with it.

Absolutely,  my Grandad had a 1920 Monroe, Louisiana  1 room HS education and read the dictionary and encyclopedia Brittanica to inform himself. He was a master machinist who never made more than $10 a day. He taught Sunday school and read everything he could get his hands and eyes on. 
He could speak to anyone on just about any subject and was openminded about learning. 
 

There’s no excuse to use the internet as our only source of self education. 
 

Read something you THINK you disagree with. Otherwise you are cannon fodder for today’s water hose of falsehoods.

That's a lost art. I would say it is one of THE defining factors separating older generations (born <1940) and younger generations. The willingness to understand and listen for its own sake.

I’ll just say this without getting long winded. And there’s really no way to debate this. Because of bias. You two are definitely biased. I have changed my opinion on policy because of research. I have nothing but time. Debating you two is of course is useless. Calling a certain person a child predator is a good example. And eliminating any chance of debating. I’ve learned things here certainly. It’s mostly entertainment for me. I’ve been in a bubble working with the family and certainly in my field. You guys certainly have been entertaining with your belief structure. Your research has certainly been narrow basically to bolster your belief system. So continue with your amusing blathering. I will be amused as usual.

We're all ears, Stan. Share with us something we don't know about climate change which completely refutes what even oil companies know to be true. But don't talk politics or media or any of that, just climate science and nothing else.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jake87 · Posted

      I hope to high heaven this is wrong. My Chevy farm trucks frame is lasting way longer than a newer Nissan Titan XD I got for a steal, and it only pulls trailers. A decade younger and it's frame is already way rustier than the waxed Chevy I drive across longs and ditches. Also, hasn't Ford been having tones of troubles with rusted frames?

      Batteries don’t always show signs of a few years ago my vehicle started fine in the morning and took me to work. After work the battery was completely dead and I needed a jump. No, I didn’t leave anything on and the battery was only a couple months old. It was replaced under warranty.

      AFM is confirmed in the Corvette engine, so I'm assuming the higher volume trucks will get it as well

      If his battery was that bad I would think it would have been showing signs before this that were ignored. Stinks that it happened the way it did in rush hour traffic, but this seems like a pretty fringe scenario. I don't mind it that bad and never turn it off. The only slight annoyance for me is the slight delay between brake to gas, but I have gotten used to it and figure if it can save a little gas why not.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a good correction. I think “severity” was probably the wrong word for what I meant. What I really mean is closer to event priority, relevance, and actionability — not “this code is severe” or “replace this part.” I agree that a truck can have a lot of trivial or historical communication codes, and if the product starts pushing alerts for every stored or low-value event, people will ignore it very quickly. So the alert logic would need to be filtered. For example, I would not want a random old communication code to generate a push notification by itself. A useful alert would probably need to be based on things like: - new vs historical - active vs stored - repeated vs one-time - duration of the event - whether it happened near the driver-marked symptom - whether it happened together with voltage drop, reset, bus-off, misfire, oil-pressure change, etc. - whether the same pattern repeats under similar conditions So instead of saying “severity,” maybe the product should organize events by affected system and priority. For example: Misfire event: Show misfire counts / roughness first, then fuel trims, RPM/load, DFM/AFM state if available, coolant/oil temp, voltage, and related DTCs. Oil-pressure event: Show oil pressure first, but only in context — RPM, load, oil temperature, coolant temperature, DFM/AFM state if available, voltage, and baseline comparison. Communication event: Show which module/network/message dropped, whether voltage dropped, whether the recorder reset, whether it was active or historical, and whether it repeated. Voltage/reset event: Show battery voltage, crank/wake/sleep state, module reset, communication dropouts, and what came back online first. That also solves the display-order problem you mentioned. The main report should not always show the same fixed list first. It should show the system that appears abnormal first, and then the supporting values for that system. I also agree that the truck already has an oil pressure gauge and MIL. The point would not be to duplicate those. The value would be in showing what else was happening before and after the warning or symptom. For example, if the MIL comes on for a misfire, the truck already told the driver there is a problem. The useful part would be: - which cylinder or bank looked abnormal first - whether it happened after an AFM/DFM transition - whether fuel trims were already moving - whether oil pressure or voltage changed at the same time - whether the same pattern happened previously without a MIL On the OBD port point, I think you may be right for a consumer-facing version. OBD is much easier for the average owner: - easier install - easier removal - inside the cabin - easier phone connection - easier data download - easier to include a pass-through port for another scanner OBD is also the right place for DTCs, freeze frame, VIN, calibration information, Mode 6, and normal scan-tool parameters. The reason I was looking at ECM-side recording is that some events may be gone by the time someone plugs in a scanner, and some powertrain-side network evidence may not be available the same way through the DLC. But I agree that if an OBD-based version can capture enough useful evidence for most owners, that is probably the cleaner consumer product. Maybe the split is: - OBD/DLC version for most consumers - ECM-side version only if it proves it adds evidence that the OBD version cannot get - shop/pro version if deeper powertrain-side event evidence is actually useful So I would not want to force the inline approach if the OBD workflow solves most of the real-world problem. Your last point is probably the key product requirement: the report should be specific to the system showing the abnormality. Not “here are 50 parameters.” More like: “Misfire-related event detected. Here are the misfire/fuel/DFM/context values.” or “Oil-pressure-related event detected. Here is oil pressure compared with RPM/load/temp/baseline.” or “Communication event detected. Here is what dropped, when, and whether voltage/reset happened first.” That is a much better way to think about the report.
