I feel you on that man, every time I’ve had to work under my first gen CRV (it’s a 2000 model year, made at he end of 1999) it’s turned into a weekend project.

Rear sway bar links? 3 days. Trailing arm and rear control arm bushings? 2 days. Sway bar bushings? 2 days AND ended up swapping out the rear cross beam because of how fucked it became during the whole shitshow (the latest project with it).

Under the hood? At most an afternoon.

The last time I pulled a dashboard out it took a week to get it back to as functional as it was when I pulled it out. At that point I was just happy to be done with it lol

NGL I was excited to hear the news of official GrapheneOS devices coming, hopefully they won’t just be their flagship devices but the whole product stack.

“Oh you want me to use my own Microsoft account here at work? That’s a shame, I don’t have one.”

“Just gonna add this loot to the party’s inventory real quick.”

OMG YES!!!

This makes me really happy because it’ll make collaborating with friends on things a lot easier.

That’s cool, still leaving though.

I ain’t submitting my ID to anyone over the internet.

This is a place of anonymity, not for proclaiming from the rooftops who I am on here.

That’s the hard part really, finding a new group chat platform.

My friends and I are switching to Matrix but finding a community there is gonna be a bit tough.

We all become too dependent on Discord and now we’re paying the price when we try to leave.

With each passing year this comic ages more and more like wine.

It’s like all those articles that read “The vehicle struck…” instead of “The driver struck…”, “A shooting then took place…” instead of “The officer then shot…”, etc, etc.

It’s a deflection of blame and whenever I see it it makes my blood boil.

I’m not sure what SSTV is but basically you import the image as a raw data file into Audacity then add audio effects.

Here’s a tutorial on how to do it.

You can get some really interesting effects doing it!

EDIT: And yeah the link is to a really odd place (A Minecraft forum?) but when I first heard of the process that’s the link someone sent me so I’m gonna pass it on. Though I should make sure that that link is mirrored somewhere…

Light definitely elevates my mood

It’s just like me fr fr

Ah yes, the Torment Nexus.

Looks like the Horrors in the Dark will be existential tonight folks!

That’s typically what I do, until it gets annoying (ain’t my first P0420 code lol)

This one though I’m probably gonna fix once it stops raining sideways here

Upon looking closer the shipping cost is the same (The 2 models they have that I mentioned elsewhere in this thread are only different by ~$0.50 in terms of shipping)

With this seller though they offer local pickup so I typically do that with them so not only do I save on shipping, I get some much needed exercise lol

I’ve bought a lot of stuff from them over the years, they’re great

Old, low end, and also the touch screen isn’t working on it.

The seller has one with a working touchscreen for about $100USD more, but I’m gonna hold off for now on buying it. (My car turned on the “hungry for money” light this morning and it’s saying “P0420 not blazing bro”)

I can’t not sing the phrase “Dare to be Stupid”

Always brings me joy lol

I feel the “checking watch for next emergency”

I’m just about done paying off my last emergency so I’m right on time for the next big one. Fate seems to wait until I’m spitting distance from paying it off to taunt me or some shit.

The last time I was literally 1 month from having it paid off before BOOM $10k medical emergency and to not become homeless due to said medical emergency combined with being on FMLA for 12 weeks minus a day.

It don’t like like a lot to some but for me it’s been hell.

Fucking high rollers over there

My retirement plan is to die at work, that way my family is taken care of. (who am I kidding, my work will try to weasel out of paying them if that happens)

To use the internet was an intentional act. You had to check the time to make sure you weren’t gonna hit some long distance charges, login, and wait for it to connect.
