Micro Dispatch📡

A micro blog from a sleep deprived software developer, husband, dad and gamer.

If you have a RWD car and you're planning to lift it up using ramps on the front and floor jack on the rear, watch this first.

I was planning to lift up my car using the same setup: ramps on the front, then jack up the rear to rest the tires on wheel cribs. On a FWD car, this probably would have been fine if you put the transmission in gear before jacking up the car. On a RWD car, both the drive wheels and parking brake is set on the rear wheels, so there was nothing to stop the front wheels from rolling back.

A reminder that Mazda is still obsessed with making fun to drive cars. In this video, Dave Coleman revealed that they keep a Lotus Elise around and use it to benchmark steering feel in their cars. Also, apparently just a year after the CX-50 came out, it's already getting refinements to its suspension and steering feel. They didn't even wait for a mid-cycle refresh.

There is no way that 2022 GTI is making just 241 horsepower. Even on that last roll race where the Sonata got a bit of a lead, it was pulling on it. The Sonata NLine makes 291 horsepower. That GTI must be making close to 290 horsepower stock.

Super satisfying car wash video on a beautiful Mazda RX-8. While the RX-7 gets more of the limelight, I have to say that I really the RX-8 design. I wished Mazda would make another similar looking car with suicide doors. I feel like it worked really well on the RX-8. My cousin had one and it was a good car with space for 4 people.

Just finished episode 5 of this show and I gotta say, it’s a very good one. The love story, the cinematography, the great back and forth between flashbacks and present time, the life lessons; they all add up to a really good show.

The only drawback in my opinion, is the unnecessary nudity and sex scene. Although a very small part of the total runtime of an episode, it’s something to keep in kind when watching around kids.

Found a pretty good Lofi playlist in Spotify. The music is great to listen to while studying or working or just chilling.

A striking testimony of the power of prayer and the Rosary. Also, that friend who prayed with her every day, wow, what an angel that person was.

This video explains so well why we are so car dependent in America. We basically cannot build suburbs that are not car dependent because of legislation. In an age where climate change is a huge talking point, and most governments are forcing people to buy electric cars to save the planet, why are we still building car dependent suburbs/cities? We should be building more cycling friendly and walk-able cities.

This is satire taken to a whole another level. It is hilarious but also poke at real world societal issues that exist today. You need to watch this all the way to the end — loved how he tied in the pills from the Matrix — before you level criticism at it.

Wonderful fan made music video of Christina Perri's “A Thousand Years” and Guardian: The Lonely and Great God (Goblin) — which in my opinion is the best kdrama I've watched so far.

Note that if you were planning to watch the show, there's going to be spoilers in this music video.
