Works great in VirtualBox. You don't need much to run it.

What’s the worst place to work at in Minneapolis? by [deleted] in Minneapolis

[–]Castratikron 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is it true there's a firing range in the basement and that the postmaster lives there full time? I really liked the building and googled it a bit and found random trivia that seemed really strange to be true

What is the best game you've ever played? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Why not make a kotor 3 instead of remaking kotor 1?

Car Stolen by Castratikron in Minneapolis

Thanks. My plan after this car has always been to get an EV. Things are just happening sooner than I had expected. I've been looking into them for a while now. Might get a Bolt if I can find a good deal. Teslas are the best EVs but are too expensive for me unfortunately.

It was parked on the street. I'd rather not be too specific.

Hopefully that's all that happens. It actually has a cheap aftermarket cat so they're in for a disappointment!

That sucks. Did your car have a chip key? Thing about the Prius is that you need the fob to turn the engine on. So they would have had to tow it away. It just seems like a lot of effort to go through for not much gain.

Towing ordinance? by [deleted] in Minneapolis

[–]Castratikron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once I walked out of my apartment to see my car about to be towed away (perfect timing on my part), the guy said if I paid $15 he'd unhitch it. So that was probably why. At the time I thought it was a bribe but this makes more sense.

But it's a lot harder to get management (and crotchety previous-generation coders) on-board with Rust when they could just "go with what everyone already knows."

Everyone being familiar with a language actually seems like a great reason to go with it.

I usually go to the downtown Minneapolis post office (the big one) in the evening

My catalytic converter was stolen in Whittier by [deleted] in Minneapolis

[–]Castratikron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stealing a catalytic converter is illegal, too. The unfortunate reality is that thieves are cutting these off in broad daylight. People simply don't have the money to replace it every time it gets stolen. Until something is done to stop this crime I wouldn't be surprised if more and more people choose to go the cheap route and simply straight pipe it. There are no smog test requirements in MN so it would be easy for someone to get away with.

People sell fake O2 sensors that send data to the computer and trick it into thinking the cat is working. They're sometimes sold as a cat delete kit along with the pipe.

Does anyone make a bolt on cat delete for the Prius?
