- Comment on Hyundai and Kia car thefts fall sharply after software upgrade, study finds 3 months ago:
Well I mean actuaries are like savants. Years ago in uni my calc III college prof was one. Amazingly sharp dude. Do I think insurance companies over-generalize their risk assessments? Yupp. Do insurance companies likely ignore their actuaries and set premiums to make outrageous profit? Probably.
Disclosure: I hate insurance companies. Also that professor was super weird
- Comment on Hyundai and Kia car thefts fall sharply after software upgrade, study finds 3 months ago:
It’s funny that even though theft rates have plummeted since the mass software upgrade, premiums have stayed high. They have savant-level mathematicians evaluating risk and even with compelling data showing otherwise, they choose to keep labeling these cars high rates and charging exorbitant premiums.
- Comment on Remember when the body washes contained literal micro plastics and were advertised as such? 6 months ago:
I work in the plastics industry. TiO2 is definitely our pigment of choice for white colorant
- Comment on Study shows Tesla owners have most car accidents, but Ram has the worst drivers 11 months ago:
Ram trucks also are the #1 vehicle for DUIs in the US.

- Comment on Leak and sheathing rot behind the end of a soffit. How do I fix this? 1 year ago:
You were correct. It was indeed an improperly done piece of kick flashing at the very bottom near the gutter
- Comment on Leak and sheathing rot behind the end of a soffit. How do I fix this? 1 year ago:
No diverter is present there at all. There’s a bunch of things going on here that could be causing this problem and I think it would be best to address all of them at once:
- No diverter
- No drip edge present along gutter, and I’ve seen water drip from soffit vents
- Vinyl siding was installed over original wood composite. It’s questionable whether the step flashing is effective given the setup
- Gutter potentially too small - I have to clean it out like 6 times a year even with gutter guards over most of it
- Comment on Leak and sheathing rot behind the end of a soffit. How do I fix this? 1 year ago:
Good point on three rafter tail. I’ll look in the attic in that area to confirm.
Yeah there’s flashing above there and it’s possible this is the source of the leak.
I’m afraid what I’m going to have to do is take all the siding off above here to expose the flashing and inspect it and repair. Then to remove and fix the rot I’m gonna have to take everything apart to get into that area behind the soffit - remove the gutter, fascia, etc to gain proper access

Oh for sure. Definitely not disagreeing with that

You don’t issue a physical recall over a software glitch though. They’ve had windshields fly out of their frames at highway speed, steering wheels come off, catastrophic lower ball joint separation, vehicles leaving their factory with missing brake pads…software updates only take you so far
