  • GTA V. I mapped the top right to hold down the trigger for flying helicopters, or when I don’t want to let off the gas in a car. Bottom right releases it. I use this when I am hauling stuff with the cargobob so I don’t have to keep my hand on the trigger which can be painful after a while. I use them in Valheim to do things like repair when I am at a crafting table. I really like having them and how programmable they are.



  • Lemmy seems a lot less toxic than Reddit.

    Not sure I am seeing the same. I posted a message about a bash command yesterday and it was almost immediately downvoted. And I have no idea why since it should work for what the person asking wanted/needed. That was one of my big issues with reddit was the sheer negativity that came out of that site and I know I am talking about a single downvote here, but it makes me pause. It has happened more than this one time which is why I get that feeling. I think some people really need to revisit the use of the downvote.






  • Well in your scenario, there is also the dryer and expansion valve to replace, and if you don’t have the tool to pull the vacuum on the system you are going to have to pay for that, which also assumes you have an air compressor. But even with this simple made up scenario, we are at or over the cost for the ‘solution’ in the image. I have dealt with things like under dash ac issues, and the quotes if you can even get someone to give you one start in the thousands, so as redneck as this is, I can definitely see where this person just said fuck it and started bolting this in. I have grown up with cars with no ac in the summer in places that got hot, and it’s miserable, but I have never cobbled something like this together, so I agree with you on the actual safety of this as I would never do it myself. Where I don’t agree is that I believe this was a cost issue, and I bet he saved a lot of money going this route. Should he be allowed to drive around with that much unrestrained metal hanging off his car? Nope. But I definitely can see his thought process. Cheap first, comfort second, safety last.
