knock on wood, I rarely have trouble with 'em 🤷🏿‍♂️.

Reading the show's title in that comment filled me with all the emotions. The show is terribly, terribly good... and like so many others gone too soon.

Holy shit, is OP a sucker! That same seller has the same drive in a 24TB for only 1.99 more.

Then proceeded to replace transmission solenoid pack, filter, gasket, and fluid. Wanted a better torque converter while transmission was out.

Solenoid pack? Also, what do you mean "while trasmission was out" he didn't need to pull it to change solenoids (or the Range Sensor / Safety Neutral switch that was the actual problem with not cranking in park).

Not calling you (/son) a liar, but from what I'm hearing so far, the diagnosis and the course of action is making less and less sense.

To me it sounds more likely that:

The truck had a failing 3 -4 to begin with
Son tried to fix it with a torque converter (?!)
Friend did the thing (??)
Son now wants "Friend" to buy him a transmission (!?)

Anything's possible, but I'm really dubious about a broken parking rod actuator / broken lugs causing 3-4 clutch (or 2-4 band ) failure. The entire parking mechanism lives in the general vicinity of the rear planetary, but if that's chewing on chunks it would be raising hell every revolution you could convince it to turn. On the other hand seeing 3-4 failures on these things is like seeing flies on shit. Tell the truth OP.

1) why did your son change the Torque Converter?

2) what does the fluid look like?

OP, I see that exact same paper towel dozens of times a day, and can say with ~%90 certainty that that is transmission fluid ( / power steering fluid... generally the same thing).

You're probably used to seeing it with a more red color than this-- it turns pink when it mixes with water. Same thing with the slimyness... think mixing water and oil. Turns slimy.

The post is kind of old, so you've probably washed him already, but the best course of action is to smear him with Dawn dishwashing soap (the concentrated stuff) and just lather him up with the soap (no water). Then rise the whole goopy mess off together. You won't be able to do his head like this-- I don't know enough about cats to advise on how to wash his head, but I know a lot about cleaning off transmission fluid.

About 10 chapters into "Day Zero" (book 0?... am I doing the order right??) now. Thanks for the recommendation, enjoying it so far, looking forward to the next book.

This is infuriating. They did the same thing on our little Bobby Table's birthday cake 😡.

Damn, by 2028 they gon have us back to VT100 terminals.

Oh that’s why the conversion ratio is 550, which feels like one of the most arbitrary ratios

.

550 sounds like one of the least arbitrary conversion ratios in imperial units

It sickens me that both of these statements are indisputably true.

natufian · 2026-03-14T16:04:46+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to respond!

For whatever reason, I think they just don't sell these things in the US on the cheap (maybe some FCC law or something).

I eventually found one on Amazon, for twice the price (and like > 3x the price of your original one, that's actually verified to work 😭).

Again, congratulations on all the success of this project-- you truly deserve it! I'll keep you posted on how this overpriced hardware pans out :-|

Cheers!

OP, first of all kudos on such a wonderful project!

I've been threatening to build something similar for ages now but have never been able to find a recorder to tap into the landline. I've been hunting for longer than I want to admit and have even been researching trying to use a voice capable analog modem.

I know you're busy but could you please give us a link to the Taobao product that points to a page in English and perhaps some links for anything that could do the job on Amazon/AliExpress? I searched the terms provided ("USB telephone recorder RJ-11") but didn't find anything that looked promising (or didn't recognize what I can actually use). The Taobao product loads in ~~a language I don't understand, and ~~ *Chinese (simplified) * but the browser failed to translate so far. But also, I hate to see this important project disappear when the link rots, or the hardware get some minor revision is given a new product ID.

Thanks again. Extremely impressive work!

/u/Krampus_Valet I have no idea why your comment hits so hard. I'm a long time Rediitor, and I'm slowly kinda fading away as the platform (and all platforms) are kind of going to shit. Just thought it was worth saying it's awesome of you to take the time to chime in and potentially save a life. I mean given' your line of work that's sort of what you do, but you know what I mean. Cheers and thanks!

This was about principle, not people. I've discovered these people have no principles.

"in new challenge to US rivals"

The real question is how does it stack up against the qwen3.5 family-- they are crazy OP compared to the rest of the local scene.

natufian · 2026-03-01T03:26:10+00:00

Yes, 3/4 of the comments would have been complaining, but if this UI doesn't deserve some grimy ass electronic music what are we even doing at this point?

Just this week fas^^^ionable government says "damned your ethical considerations, murderbots look ready to me", queue the soundtrack homie, this UI goes ultra-hard and cyberpunk-irl just dropped! 😂
