And put it in neutral.

Trim screws have small heads so they are even less noticeable. That’s what I’ve been fixing my squeaky floor boards with.

Now I feel better about my weird dietary preferences.
I’m doing my part!

Can Jellyfin handle symlinks? That’s all it would take to sell me at this point.
- Comment on Swastikcar showing a roman rust pattern in Lower Manhattan 2 weeks ago:
The problem with vandalising or destroying swastikars is that the cameras continuously monitor the vehicle and surrounds.
If you already have a can of spray paint in your hands, that sounds like an easy problem to remedy.
- Comment on Do most people still use computers, or do people only use a smartphone as their main/only device? 2 weeks ago:
Phone is for work only. Tower PC for everything else.
I’m probably an outlier.

- Comment on If you can find the oil filter, I'll give you a quarter. If you can get it out after the lube tech tightened it to 325 lbft, I'll give you sixty bucks. 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, I’m sorry that happened. But literally no one, even the shadiest shop, is doing that intentionally. Laziness and using air tools, probably. Trying to save a buck by using the original crush washer and just tightening it down harder, also likely. Intentionally over tightening so you have to come back to them; extremely unlikely.
After we finally got it off we both agreed on one thing, neither of us are bringing our vehicles back to that shop again. That was over 10 years ago now and I’m still holding true to my word fuck them I’ll drive the extra 20 minutes to another shop
That’s exactly what you should do if you’re not happy with the service. But be prepared to wait to get into a decent mechanic. The ones that provide shitty service are able to stay in business because there is always someone in a hurry. And this is why I say they aren’t intentionally over torquing your drain bolt. They don’t give a shit if you come back on not; there’s plenty others waiting.
I’m glad my professional wrenching isn’t in the automotive field any more.

I wouldn’t sweat it until I had to remove it for some reason either.
Those old Civics are indestructible.

Devils advocate: As a mechanic, if I tighten the oil filter too little, I’m liable for thousands in repairs. If I tighten the oil filer too much, some rando curses me but I don’t hear it and continue sleeping like a baby. Or it comes back to me and I don’t care if it’s tight, Ive got the tools that make it easy.
So, sorry, not sorry. I’m gonna keep cranking those puppies down.
Also your PCV hose is starting to look pregnant.

- Comment on Elon Musk uses cybertruck explosion to show Tesla can remotely unlock and monitor vehicles 2 months ago:
GM has been remotely unlocking cars and harvesting their geolocation data (via onstar) since the mid 2000’s. Elon is late to the party.

Indeed. Hopefully my couple bucks a month makes up for any ruckus I caused on my freeshell account back in the day.

Sticking an outlet next to them is next level and something I would not have thought of. Thanks!
- Comment on Did you know that you could block communities you don't like on lemmy instead of spamming downvotes? 4 months ago:
Time and screen space are limited. When I take a poo break, I don’t want to have to wade through a bunch of posts in a language I don’t speak or about sports I care nothing about. But at the same time I am open to new communities that I might not have imagined even existed. So I just leave it on all and block the communities I’m not interested in. It was a lot of work at first, but it’s pretty nice now.
- Comment on Is setting a box outside a viable trapping strategy for felines? 5 months ago:
It’s not so much a trap as there isn’t anything to detain them. But they do make pretty good lures for outdoor or even big cats.

Yeah, I definitely knew it was fake when they called it a “beautiful neighborhood”. My friend did you even look at the picture you sent?

It’s a 2014 Nissan Altima. I’ve spent quite a bit of time trying to find wiring diagrams, but I haven’t gotten very far.
- Comment on Is there such a thing as an automotive relay with no resistor? 6 months ago:
Would a dioide in like with my trigger relay stop the add-in relay from connecting the factory horn wire to ground?
Yeah. Put the stripe end towards the horn wire you are tapping into.
- Comment on Is there such a thing as an automotive relay with no resistor? 6 months ago:
Can you not just stick a diode in line with your trigger wire so you don’t get feedback from the relay?
- Comment on [Help] My Ender 3 isn't powering the extruder motor. Do I need a new motherboard? 6 months ago:
I’ve got an Ender 3 pro v2 motherboard (not silent steppers) that you can have for shipping costs if you determine that’s the issue. If you do, pn me your zip code and I’ll let you know how much it would be.
I would test the ribbon cable to the extruder before replacing the mobo. That’s a more common failure. Plug one of the other stepper cables into the extruder port and see if it moves. If it does, the mobo is good and the cable Is bad.
- Comment on Skyblivion Quest Showcase - Fingers of the Mountain and Killing Fields 6 months ago:
I love GOG, but I hope not. GOGs lack of linux support and forcing the mod to install through their client made FO:L take more work to figure out than if it would have been on Nexus or Steam.

If that’s what truly brings you joy; I’m sure they would be accepting.

- Comment on Samsung delivers 600-mile solid-state EV battery as it teases 9-minute charging and 20-year lifespan tech 7 months ago:
For a smaller EV It would take around 200kWh worth of battery for a 600 mile range. The current Tesla “superchargers” put out 250kWh. So whatever is going to charge this battery will have to output roughly an order of magnitude more power. That’s an impressive and scary amount of energy transfer.
