Bicycle tires with round nubbin tread! It looks like they're just about bald too, which I'm sure didn't help
I wonder if there's a way to bring that tread style to the modern world, it looks really interesting compared to what we have now (minus the baldness)
Not a forensic carologist but it almost looks like he got t-boned (old fashioned style at 25mph, of course) and lost control (at a brisk 27mph) and hit the fence
That's the new slogan for Disney World, I heard!
A similar vein as this, at work I was talking about a heat gun:
"Look, the feet are molded into the cable so if you break it you have to buy theirs!"
I then pull the cable out to show it as an example and snap
I didn't realize it had a retention clip at all, so I lightly pulled it and snapped the thin plastic holding it in. I thought it was held in by friction.
Oops.
My pc "spikes" from 6% to 11% but was only noticeable when I raised the update speed to high
Is that the spiking, and are other people seeing more?
I have a Toyota with the fancy cruise control and it's great up until someone is slowing down to turn or change lanes. The cruise control practically slams on the brakes when almost no input was needed at all!
Conveniently though, the industry has finally made a manual car that doesn't disable cruise when you press the clutch in and change gears! I suppose that makes up for it
Oh yeah? I can be imaginative as a fighter!
Foot punch! Double foot punch! Spider-punch! Spider-kiss? Triple foot punch!
Awesome!

I appreciate it now that I know though!
Edit: big thanks to HumanPerson and their friend for potentially figuring it out! It seems to be a BMW F10!
Hey there! I'm not trying to find a perp committing a hit and run or anything, just curious on what make and model this car could be!
I was following it on the interstate and couldn't ID it then, and can't ID it from my dashcam either. And was never close enough to get a clear view until he hauled ass and disappeared. I thought it was a Kia sports car at the time (k5 or stinger) but can't place the tail lights
It doesn't seem to be a kia, Subaru, Ford focus (hatchback), or Corvette to me. But I'm also not entirely sure of the exhaust placement or door count!
Here's the clip I got the screenshots from: https://streamable.com/9hu10f
Thanks in advance!
This is a little more infuriating than "mildly infuriating" but I can't think of a better place to post it
Edit: I'd like to clarify that I live in East Tennessee, not an area like Florida! I do appreciate the hints that it might be clearcoat goblins though, and I've left a saucer of milk and cheese out to ward them away
edit: the embeds weren't working because of me! fixed now
Imagine you were in my weirdly dirty shoes, driving along a back road somewhere between 30 to 35 miles per hour, behind a pickup truck. Oh no, tragedy strikes!
"TINK TINK TINK TINK TINK"
Damn. You just got this car, too!
Alright, now back to my perspective. First of all, out of all the times for my car to start making this noise, it had to be when I was driving like a civilized human being?! I knew it wasn't the engine, I knew it wasn't the transmission. The "tink" was coming from the rear. I pull off on the side of the road and get my body as low as possible to the ground and poke around. Brakes look fine, axles look and feel fine, suspension looks fine. Nothing's wrapped around anything and slapping a piece of metal. Damn.
Fast forward to a handful of yards down the road in a parking lot, still "tink"ing when it rolls. Tink going forward, tink and a little clunk going in reverse. It's gotta be the differential. I've lost all hope, so I start calling a local dealership for the closest date I can bring in my car to get it looked at by a real mechanic. Nothing available today. After some more "close" inspection, I eventually accepted defeat and drove (very slowly) back home.
After the heart wrenching (and tink-y, but thankfully short) drive back home I realized I can easily check my rear differential by jacking up the rear of the car and spinning the wheels by hand. I do just that, and it spins freely with no "tink". What?
Wait, what's that?
Oh. There looks to be some sort of nail. What's that saying? Can't see the forest for the trees? What a fool can't see he can't believe? I'm not sure.
Keep in mind, the sound it made was LOUD. Like, someone hitting a wood spoon onto a pot lid, LOUD. I'm not sure if "tink" is really the right word, but I'm rolling with it. I assumed it was mechanical, because when a car makes a sound like this you automatically think worst case scenario.
By this time, I had called my brother in law to help. He had a theory: what if that "nail" was long enough that when it had the weight of the car on it, it would hit the inside of the wheel?
That very well could be the case.
Luckily, the penetration could not have been in a better place to be plugged! (Mostly because I don't want to replace all 4 tires at the same time just yet!)
I drove (still, slowly) to a tire shop a couple of miles down the road. I wasn't entirely convinced this would fix the main problem, but it needed to be removed anyways.
I wait in the lobby for who knows how long. Eventually, one of the shop guys comes into the lobby and drops a piece of metal on his desk.
Holy shit. That'll do it! That pin is almost 5 inches long, about twice as long as I have sidewall on my tires! It absolutely solved the tink problem 😉
Moral of the story: if your car sounds like it's hitting a wooden spoon on a pot lid, double check and make sure you didn't run over a metal rod longer than your wheel is thick before looking for mechanical issues!
And that's my first experience with driving over nails (or other pins and metal pieces) in over 4 years of driving! I hope my little story was fun to read, and I hope you immediately realized it was something in the tire unlike me over the course of several hours!
I'm not sure when this actually started, but it's been mildly annoying. I'm not able to find any results online about what causes it, or how to fix it.
In the case of the screenshot, it appears when I click the "Health" tab of Wintoys. This error also sometimes shows up when opening the Settings app, and every time I launch Forza Horizon 5. The error always shows 3 times, one after another, then as far as I can tell nothing else happens.
From my research it has something to do with updating, but I'm not sure why it tries to load it in Horizon 5.
Steps I've taken (not in this specific order)
Tried every built in file system/windows error checker (found no errors)
Tried copying over an "older" version of the DLL from a previous update stack (required SYSTEM permissions, so didn't press further)
Tried repairing using Windows Installation Media ("couldn't repair")
Tried updating windows (no luck)
I'm trying here because I'm hoping maybe there are some helpful anecdotes that might be able to fix it! I am using a Ryzen 7 5800X, just in case this is caused by an incompatibility that I don't know about. I can provide more specs/information if needed :)
Edit: reformatted the steps I took, since it looks like it turned into a big wall of text (at least on Sync)
Edit 2: added the edit text 🤫
Not entirely sure if this fits here, but it's development related
Honestly pretty well done from what I can tell, but maybe a little excessive
Identified by Google lens, so let me know if it got it wrong 👽
Rest assured, I did a double take, a cartoon eye rub, and yes, my eyes popped out of my head when I saw it
Mostly because I never expected to see one in person or in my city
I was told in 6th or 7th grade science class that you can't hear underwater
