    I’ve seen your other comments, and it seems like you’re sour over getting downvoted because you weren’t able to notice a subtle difference that’s not easily obvious.

    No, I am sour because people can’t fucking read and insert what they think I’m saying instead of responding to what I wrote.



  • If the outside temp is hotter there is no need to heat and if it is cooler there is no need to cool, because the house will even out with the temp.

    It is slightly more complicated because of sunlight heating the building, but there is no need to spend energy changing the temp a few degrees when it will happen due to changes in temps outside. Like there isn’t a need to run the AC in the evening shortly before dark if it is only a couple degrees too warm inside because it will cool off on uts own pretty quickly.

    But that’s not what it looks like to you. It’s what you remembered it looking like. If it looked like that to you, you’d have a completely different experience of discord than anyone else. I didn’t downvote or anything, but you basically said “you’re wrong”, but they were correct.

    No, I did NOT say that nor did I imply that. It is also pretty fucking arrogant of you to asssume everyone notices and remembers everything. Fuck, I even posted screen shots to show I tried to check to see what I was missing!










  • A rear wheel drive truck is actually the best for all truck situations other than when empty in harsh conditions. Work truck will frequently be towing something, and towing heavy loads works better with rear wheel drive than front wheel drive. Same with a bed full of heavy stuff. When it starts moving forward the weight shifts back, improving traction. Letting off the gas and having the engine brake is better with the rear wheels as well, only the brakes need to be heavier in the front.

    The engine weight being in the front is actually a benefit when moving large loads in the bed or trailer, as it balances against the load shifting towards the back, improving steering. Not to mention a straight drive shaft from the engine can take more stress than front wheel CV joints under load.

    Yeah, AWD should be better overall for trucks that don’t stick to main roads. But construction and other work doesn’t go offroading often and 2wd trucks do fine for that purpose 99% of the time.
