Depends on the type of bottle jack. It's a broad term that can mean both the hydraulic kind and the mechanical screw driven kind, which used to be more common in older american cars (lots of fords had them).
Both do have the issue of getting under low cars, but they are safer and more stable than scissor jacks. Scissor jacks fold and crumple extremely easily if the load shifts perpendicular to the arm direction. Bottle jacks will tilt but not collapse until they fall over center.

I agree a hydraulic jack should not be kept as the emergency spare. When they sit the seals dry out and if they tip over they can empty all their hydraulic oil out into your trunk. Plus they are not safe to be under a vehicle with as hydraulics can fail and drop the vehicle without warning.

Already had a chance, threw it away

Russia will end itself if the Ukraine war actually ends. Their economy is so propped up by massive war deficit spending that a cessation of hostilities would instantly plunge them into a hell of a depression that might unseat the government.

And of course I know why Linus does that. Rage bait gets clicks and engagement online. Tale as old as time. But it definitely makes for terrible content for people like us who actually value the technical accuracy.

No offense to Jay, but he seems to be a bit bone headed more often than not with things he's not familiar with and refuses to research or get outside help when he needs it.

He can make great hardware/watercooled builds and overclock really well, but any video outside that skill set is just... Painful.

So weird. It's almost like everything is somehow rising faster than inflation....

When even the 5th circuit starts sounding reasonable, you REALLY fucked up

Huh, who woulda thunk this would happen?

 

$29.99 seems a bit much for the relatively simplistic state that this "vertical slice" is launching in, I think I might be waiting a couple months until they start adding the survival and planetary content.

 

Like who tf made up that rule? Maybe it's just a different kind of dirty????

edit 1/26: i apologize for the dumb posts that I make when I am high

 

2nd amendment about to disappear real fast, I can see the justification being planned already. weird how that happens when it's used against the SS.

If you needed any more proof that Nvidia is continuing to enshittify their monopoly and milk consumers. Hey lets remove one of the critical things that lets you diagnose a bad card and catch bad situations that might result in gpu deathdoors! Dont need that shit, Just buy new ones every 2 years you poors!

If you buy a Nvidia GPU, you are part of the problem here.

 

More wastes of time from the lovely oregon GOP and especially the corrupt Linthicums.
