Nah. My older 1080p stuff remains, but I just do 4k only now. Media server is powerful enough to transcode to 1080 on the fly for any device that can’t handle 4k, or for slower network conditions.

Vampire Survivors is basically mandatory at this point.

Because the magnet is attached to the truck bed, so the bumper is being pulled forward and the bed pushed back, and the forces cancel out to 0.

I like SearXNG

It works, but deck needs to be on. I just pulled a Grim Dawn install from my deck to my desktop PC on Tuesday.

I got an aftermarket 9 cell battery on Amazon for like $30, mine has 8 hours of battery life at idle now in Mint with the brightness all the way up. Highly recommended. Three SSDs, 16GB of RAM, but otherwise stock T420.

Agreed. To me, the ringing is just what silence sounds like now after 15 years of the ringing. Mine isn’t very bad, so I only really hear it in quiet spaces, but I protect my hearing as much as possible now to prevent it from getting worse.

If you want some variety, I played a ton of PowerWash Simulator when I had COVID and it was fantastic. Just chill, not much thought required, and clean stuff with a pressure washer progression system.

Phantasy Star Online. They’ve tried to release sequels over the years - Universe, PSO2 - and failed miserably at capturing what made Episodes 1 and 2 great. There’s no way they would be able to just update the graphics without trying to “improve” something in the gameplay, or changing the loot system, or adding MTX, and would just fuck it up again.

PSO is so good that even now, 23 years after it launched on Dreamcast, there’s still hundreds if not thousands of people like me that still play regularly. Whether that’s offline on their GameCube or online in Blue Burst on PC on a server like Ephinea.

I use NoMachine between windows and Linux and I’m happy with it. According to their site they support MacOS.

Huh, didn’t know that. Most of my wrenching has been done on older GM trucks and they used a vacuum actuated valve that cut the heater core out entirely by closing the loop under the hood, so coolant still flows by a shortened path. I’m just glad ops problem was found there. Thanks for the info!

It’ll be primed but not pressurized. Some leaks, especially in older rubber hoses, only leak under pressure when the swelling of the hose opens the split.

Awesome! I claim victory for this thread. One more notch carved into the 1/2" ratchet.

People be jumping straight to head gaskets way too much when coolant issues arise.

Any chance your partner uses the heater and you don’t? Many cars have a heater core bypass valve that only allows coolant into the heater core when the heat is on in the cabin.

Sup.

I could happen here! Four 12-hour days…

I had the same reservation until recently. A few weeks back I bought a set of their 6t Daytona jackstands after inspecting the welds and safety pins and those things are damn solid. I probably wouldn’t use their much cheaper and smaller 3t models, but these 6t stands are great. I have a hunch they upped their QC and quality after all that bad jackstands press they got.

I run Ryobi for battery tools and Harbor Freight stuff for most of the hand tools. I splurged a bit and went with Tekton for my wrenches. But really, harbor freight stuff has been absolutely fine for me, especially their new higher tier tools like Icon and Quinn.

Currently a 1996 2 door Tahoe. Picked it up last week, no rust on the thing, but a few mechanical issues I’ve been working through. Just put on an alternator, belt/tensioner/idler, power steering pump and steering gearbox today. Tomorrow is new headlight and transfer case switches, nerf bars and a third brake light.
