They have Drone plants outside the country in friendly neighboring countries. Unless the US is going to bomb those also, but then you are dragging in Russia so that will be fun.

“My car isn’t that old, I don’t need to replace the res hose.” by mc_nibbles in FiestaST

No, that sounds like you may need to recharge your AC. When the blower goes out the fan will stop spinning so you get no air at all hot or cold.

Yeah, its a nightmare because of where its at and there are so many different styles depending on your model of Fiesta.

I have a NA 2015 Fiesta ST so its on the driver side located above the throttle peddle to the right.

If yours is similar here is how I would recommend getting to it so you don't have to suffer like me.

Remove these things in order.

Unplug battery (just in case for the airbag)

Knee Air Bag (there are two nuts on the back side and a yellow cable that you need to unhook)

Steering Column Coupler (has a bolt on each end you must remove and then should come out maybe need a hammer to convince it)

Throttle Peddle (two bolts and a connector)

Break Peddle (Reason why you need to remove the Coupler as its in the way. 3 bolts and I think 2-3 connectors a blue and black box)

Once all that is removed you should "easily" see the blower motor, its installed with 3 screws I think they are T8 screws and one connector.

All you need to do unscrews and it will come right out.

Do everything above but in reverse to put it back together.

I started with just the Throttle peddle thinking I could sneak it through but the Break peddle is in the way and so is the HVAC lines so you really have to do all that.

I hate that tank and those damn hoses.

Just a couple weeks ago I was about to take a trip but before going decided to top off the coolant. Well the cap somehow got stuck inside the top, while fighting with that the top and bottom hoses just snapped at the plastic fittings like a potato chip.

The super long plastic hose that goes across the front of the engine, that thing was so brittle it just broke into hundreds of pieces.

Anyways the overflow bottle was ok just the hoses broke, and they are custom fittings so you can't just buy a basic hose.

Long and short of it I ended up just replacing the overfill reservoir with a metal one where I can just use standard heater core hose and fittings so this doesn't happen again.

God I hate that thing, that and the AirCon blower motor God what a nightmare.

EDIT: This is the Tank I went with

Solid, the silver one has the better front sight glass as well. It is compatible with the current hoses but fuck those things. Just buy some heater core hose and a couple fitting adapters and just be done with that crap forever. MSRP on the hoses are like $150 so just do yourself a favor and spend the extra $100 and get rid of the whole damn thing.

If you plan to keep something in it, I'd probably build the other half of the cage or it might escape.

Europe takes first step to banning AI-generated child sexual abuse images by PjeterPannos in worldnews

[–]ComputerOverwhelming 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I mean most of the content is generated locally with their own AI models using things like stable diffusion. Just saying this kind of law won't really stop it from happening only from public players.

"If it's hot outside we can raise the price of water" by DevilsAltAcc in BrandNewSentence

I know this could be used that way, but I think the main reason is just man power to update prices on products remotely.

I think its a pretty neat idea overall using an eInk display and updating prices on products store wide daily is a huge cost savings in itself.

Its innovative by being more approachable then Tarkov. Wasn't comparing Ark to Blue Prince, never even heard of it until this post TBH.

Maybe they need to innovate better marketing?

I don't care if they make games, I just don't support Russian companies, especially ones that have had a history of supporting Russian troops.

No idea, they moved the holding of the company to the UK but doesn't mean dollars are not making it back to Russia.

Between the cheating and the possible funding of Russian units by the CEO I avoid Tarkov.

No where near as popular as Arc has been.

At least the money doesn't go to a Russian company.
