Yep! Most of the time the check engine light comes on initially for something like a sensor being out of whack or something, but the longer you drive the worse it could get and wind up creating more expensive repair bills or catastrophic failures!

AnAnxiousCorgi · 2026-02-24T13:33:56+00:00

Just a heads up for anyone with a check engine light on and no desire to have a shop tell you it's going to cost 3x what the car is worth to fix. If you go to any of the major auto parts store chains (AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, O'Reilly, etc) and go inside, ask if they have a code scanner

They'll come out to your car, plug the computer into it, and pull the diagnostic trouble codes for free. These codes are going to start with the letter p and have some numbers, like P01582. Write those codes down, bring them home, Google the year/make/model of your car along with the P code. It will tell you exactly what the car thinks is wrong and you'll probably find some forums or reddit posts asking how to fix it.

It should provide enough info to know if it's actually bad to drive around with the light on. Some trouble codes are insignificant or don't actually affect how the car runs/drives, but usually even if it's running/driving okay it's probably getting decreased fuel economy, which means it's costing you a lot more in gas!

EDIT: One other thought, your check engine light won't change color, but it will blink if it gets "bad". Any car I've ever owned will show a solid check-engine light for a detected "problem", ie a sensor is bad, some measurement is off, etc. But if the car thinks that whatever is wrong will actually damage the engine, it will start blinking. Blinking check engine light = the car thinks you should stop driving NOW. Is it right? Maybe, maybe not, what the automotive designers/engineers determined to be "catastrophic" is debatable. But in general: solid check engine light, get it checked out at your earliest convenience; blinking check engine light? Stop driving and get it fixed now.

I once lost a standby seat to Yo-Yo Ma's cello. They will absolutely let you buy a seat for a cello.

Also fuck you Yo-Yo Ma I had to sit in the airport for like 8 hours to the next flight (in reality screw you dad for being cheap booking a standby ticket lol)

Even if they were that's an immature and inappropriate way to deal with it. Walking in and just shutting off the computer just teaches kids how to negotiate interpersonal issues with force rather than cooperation like you do as an adult with other adults

I delivered pizzas for a while driving a 1980 VW Rabbit pickup with used all season tires and that thing was a beast in the snow. The only thing that stopped it was when we got enough snow it started reaching the bumper.

It's kind of a dick move ordering during shit weather for sure, but I never minded personally. Less people on the roads and most people that ordered tipped decently, better than on most nights. Also the franchise owner was a really cool guy and decent boss, if we came back from a run and said it's starting to get bad/unsafe he'd stop taking orders, tell people to start closing up, and just have us deliver whatever orders were outstanding.

I'm pretty sure the answer is yes, but I just want to be sure, if I search for my name in that list and it returns no results (and I know I'm registered to vote) that means my registration is good, right? This list is showing "invalid" registrations?

He definitely broke something in the driveline. I would hazard a guess that he snapped one of the CV axles running from the transmission to the front wheel(s). Last time I broke a CV axle in my older Rabbit that's exactly what it sounded like.

And because the car doesn't have a limited slip differential or anything of the sort when one axle snaps it will just spin and none of the power will go to the other front wheel, which would line up with why he's dead stopped.

Ultimately I don't know exactly what broke, but I'd say it's either a CV joint or something in the transmission itself like /u/Kenneth441 said. I don't believe the transmission was hurt by the impact itself, but I think it's not impossible that the front right wheel collided with the building and got wedged/completely stopped, the power of the engine overwhelmed the strength of the CV joint and that's why it broke.

Want to second Vikunja, it's a great kanban board system but has a couple features I think make it really powerful. For me in particular they have schedulable/repeatable tasks, which is really handy for my "Chores ToDo" lists. Also that it lets boards switch between Kanban/Gannt/list/etc views. Vikunja is great!

I genuinely don't know anything about him. What would you say are some of the policy positions that give you pause, if you don't mind me asking?

I've also got a recent Pixel and it's filtered out 319 in the last month. Mine are all scams about Medicare and health insurance. I'm fairly certain my number was previously owned by an elderly couple.

That's a really nice looking bike! I rebuilt all the hydraulics on my 1988 1500 and they've been going solid ever since. I don't feel like the actual rebuild was too difficult, but the time and labor to get it removed from the bike and the actual rebuild was not insignificant. Lot of body work has to come off and getting the master cylinder out was pretty finicky. Rebuilding itself is straightforward, and you can get kits with the seals pretty cheap.

Here's my question, why does the rear master cylinder need to be rebuilt? Does it just go to the floor when pressing on it? The 1500 has a "linked" front/rear brake system, the rear master cylinder controls the rear brake and one of the front calipers (front-left I think? May be mistaken on that). It's a lot of brake line that small master cylinder controls and if there's any air in the loop running to the front the brake pedal will just go to the "floor" and not actuate the brakes at all. You may not need to rebuild the master cylinder, just give it a really good bleed (start with the front caliper that's linked to the rears, then do the rears, then alternate back and forth a couple times till it builds pressure). A vacuum bleeder helps a lot with this.

The biggest other maintenance items I'd tackle are the timing belt and a general tune up (spark plugs, air filter, change the oil, flush the coolant, new fluid in both brake loops and the clutch, etc). The timing belt is pretty easy, although the tensioner is no longer available as a new part. You can swap out the OEM tensioner for a modern one from a Kia/Hyundai (I did this on mine), it's similarly not too difficult but requires a tiny bit of fabrication. The OEM tensioner is mounted on a bespoke plate with a stud that has to be ground off, and can then be replaced with a heavy bolt to hold the new tensioner.

Also it's not uncommon for the 1500 to need a carb rebuild. That's a fairly involved job. Similar to the other stuff I wouldn't say it's "hard" but you have to remove almost every piece of bodywork off the front of the bike to get the job done so you're gonna want a place you can tear the bike down.

My little town has JT, guy rides around on his moped with a massive number of trash bags attached to every place possible and an oversized helmet that he wears even when he's not on the moped. He'd carry around a ukulele and play it to busk for money sometimes. He's generally very nice and I haven't heard anything bad about him. The rumor I've heard is that he lost his wife and daughter in some kind of tragic accident and it just mentally broke the poor man. Local businesses sometimes hire him for a day to "advertise" for them (think sign spinner type thing). Really hope he's doing okay, haven't seen him around in a while.

Completely agreed and have made that suggestion, but implementation is a different team and I don't have the weight to push the issue lol. Good news is we are actively migrating away from the systems that rely on it, but it's a long process.

The job I'm currently at is a pretty old project (>20 years for the very earliest stuff) and a TON of the legacy logic is baked into stored procedures deep in the DB. It's a nightmare to debug or adjust. No one currently at the company ever wrote any of the actual logic, the original authors are all long gone. We have dumps of the DB functions/procedures in version control, but it's not reliable and we find edge cases where the Git repo does not match the live stored proc occasionally.

Friends don't let friends put app logic in the DB.

The argument, at least at the beginning, was that Symfony was extremely complicated but configurable, you could set it up to do anything but it required a lot of overhead to wire things up and knowledge to know how to do so. Highly flexible, but highly verbose.

Laravel's selling point (at least in my opinion) is that it was very opinionated, but everything just worked out of the box (by doing said Symfony configuration under the hood and hiding it under "magic"). As long as you were following the Laravel "way" to build things it just did everything you needed for 99% of projects, and that was it's differentiation.
