  • how do you cook with soy sauce?
  • I recommend getting Mirin (sweet rice wine) to add it to soy sauce dishes.
    Those two are the main ingredients of Teriyaki sauce.

  • More things like Star Trek?

    Then how about the Bobiverse series? That should fit the bill perfectly. Even has a Riker! I'm a big fan of the audio books.

    And definitely Project Hail Mary as a one off.

    And maybe Expeditionary Force. That one is a bit much militaristic for my taste but I got to love the audio books anyways.

  • stop driving with automatic transmission!
  • (dontfeedthetrolldontfeedthetrolldont.. ah, damnit!)
    The torque converter is usually always engaged, always wants to go, while holding the brake. As soon as the brakes are released the car starts rolling forward.
    With the VW T4 that didn't work as on other cars since the torque converter was disengaged while stopping.
    So the driver had to change to the accelerator more quickly than usual, if starting uphill.
    Otherwise, since the torque converter engaged only a second after releasing the brake, the car would roll approximately 5cm backwards before going forward. (If starting without any accelerator input.)

  • stop driving with automatic transmission!
  • What about dct?
    There's no torque converter.
    Those are often starting less smooth in my experience.

    I once had a VW Transporter with torque converter that always rolled backwards slightly. (Only very slightly) It appeared that it disengaged the whole torque converter while stopped. (The rpm "relaxed" after stopping.) That was a bit weird.

    I made a Bluetooth boombox of some old speakers. The speakers were free on Kleinanzeigen (I guess kraigslist or whatever it's called would be a similar thing). The Bluetooth amplifier board (TDA7492) I still had laying around. The 3D printed battery adapters are for my 18V Ryobi tool batteries and for my 36V Bosch lawnmower batteries. The Bluetooth board uses 8V to 25V so I had to put a 40V to 20V DC - DC converter inside for the Bosch batteries. Some old belts were sacrificed for carrying straps.
