Ask me anything.
I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks
Question: Who paid for MTG to trot up to Connecticut? Is that “official business” for the House rep from bumfuck Georgia?
(Fun fact: I couldn’t remember how to spell Connecticut, had MTG in my head, and kept typing Connecticunt. )
If only…lol
(That’s the electrified one, right?)
Are any of Empty-G’s pressers ever on the rail to start with? lol
Persecution complex, much?
As your neighbor, I’m still jealous. At least Ohio allows citizens to propose ballot measures. WV doesn’t even have that.
Wish I could take credit for the term, lol, but I heard it elsewhere.
Yeah, I took it to a few local places, and none of them would do anything like that. I lived in the boonies at the time and didn’t want to tow it all around everywhere. I’d already driven it like that for 4-5 weeks, and the left spring was pressing against the underside of the bed. One good pothole and it would have likely punched through lol. Figured I’d pressed my luck long enough. I had a welder and could have probably fixed it up good enough for farm use, but no way would it have passed inspection.
Just parted it out since everything else was in great shape (especially the transmission that had been rebuilt not 4 months prior 😢)
Ended up just buying the hybrid I drive now since its main use was for my 110 mile daily commute.
Yeah, my 2004 not-quite beater truck came to its end that way. The frame rusted out where the leaf spring shackle attached, and there’s no real way to fix that. Surprised I was able to drive it as long as I did with it like that (it was my daily driver at the time lol).
For my OG beater truck, I got a lot of its body parts from a local salvage yard. Some of the parts I got were rusted in the same spots as mine, just less so (e.g. the quarter panels on S10s were notorious for rusting out).
Replacing the bed isn’t too bad if you have someone to help you lift it on/off and you can find a donor in good shape. I had to pull the bed off my old beater truck to replace the fuel pump, and did the work myself (plus an extra set of hands to lift the bed on/off, naturally) On that one, it was only like 6 bolts holding it down. Hardest part was that two were seized up and had to drill them out (and replace the bolts afterward).
Unless there’s major pushback from car buyers in the next 10 years, I’m going to be holding on to my 2017 hybrid for as long as possible. May even look into doing an EV conversion on it or possibly some aftermarket way to make it a plug-in hybrid (there is a plug-in hybrid version of my car, and I’ve been looking to trade-in for that, but I cannot find any within 250 miles of me).
Yep!
I’ve seen enough EV conversions to know it’s not rocket science. The instrument cluster just displays the values relayed to it over CAN bus, most of the sensors are the same as they are on a conventional ICE vehicle, and the only real difference is the powertrain. There’s some consideration for the battery placement and management, but that’s pretty much it. Leave the touchscreens in the backseat for the kids, and give me physical buttons to operate the vehicle.
Maybe if they’d focus more on making them functional vehicles instead of smartphones on wheels, it would simplify that problem.
Honestly no idea. My only knowledge of Catholicism comes from Dogma. But George Carlin did bless his golf clubs, so if that holds true for jello, then yeah. Lol
New bucket list item: jell-o made with holy water.
Oh, if that’s your jam, enjoy! I just don’t have the time/energy to do that myself, lol, and I can only roll my eyes so many times in a day. I also do enjoy the sparring and watching them squirm to defend their bad faith positions.
I never really ran into that, and part of the curriculum for that class was editing / correcting other people’s documents.
Was that only if you imported a document from a different format, perhaps?
There were a few times I encountered slight formatting glitches, but we were taught to just turn on Reveal Codes to easily find/fix those.
I think I’ve mostly blocked all of the really transparent ones. Lol. Can’t recommend that enough.
I just put together a model, and it predicts a 77% chance of the Hamburgler winning in 2024.
Go vote. That’s the only thing that matters.
I finally relented and let spellcheck do it’s thing, but I will definitely remember that trick. Thanks!
