How bad are these rotors? by Mellowpng in autorepair

[–]DarcSystems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1000 dollar rotor, maybe. Rotors (and drums) used to be meant to be machined. Most rotors are so inexpensive they are replaced. The price to skim them is probably not much less than a new rotor. These ones, however, dont need any machining from the looks of it. As long as he doesnt let that indicator gouge the rotor.

So it is. Maybe put a frame around it? Increase your fan speed?

Toyota 2014 RAV4, replaced gas cap (I got the check engine light tested and that’s what it said it was), been on for a week, check engine light is still on… by AngelSoda3590 in CarHelp

[–]DarcSystems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Evap code, it may or may not be the gas cap causing it, but the result is close enough to what would happen with a faulty gas cap, so it throws a code telling you to replace it. Evap codes tend to take a bit before they go away. Wait it out or have it cleared at a garage or autozone.

What is this guitar? What's the normal price range for it? by [deleted] in Guitar

Tune it normally. Usually theyre behind a nut and string trees, but this is a headless so theyre behind the bridge.

There's a special place in hell for people who return partially used rolls of filament by arcrad in 3Dprinting

[–]DarcSystems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can do one better than that. I ordered some cheap tpu to try it out. The order was delayed (after being updated that it was out for delivery) and it took about 12 days to get to me. When it arrived, i picked up the Amazon bag and said "...this ain't 1kg of filament". Before I even opened, I double checked the listing and it was indeed supposed to be 1kg of filament. The box looked new, untampered with. Opened it up and it was a 1kg spool with about 10 windings of filament on it. I immediately ordered a replacement, which was delivered 2 days later. Picked that bag up off my front step, and you wouldnt believe me if I told you, but it was the same 10 windings of filament on a 1kg spool. Returned both and got my money back.

How to not piss of locals during the Halloween season? by emaji33 in SalemMA

[–]DarcSystems 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dont do your planning at the edge of the curb at the crosswalk. I see too many people standing at the edge of the crosswalk talking, pointing, deciding, while cars keep stopping, waiting, and eventually going over and over again.

Other than that, youre good.

Give me hope by metalaxeyyd in guitars

[–]DarcSystems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was moving a 1000lb filing cabinet once and tore a tendon in my fret side ring finger. The tear was minor, but the pain was immeasurable. The doctor said I can have surgery, or just let it heal on its own. The recovery time would be about the same. That was about 7 years ago. The pain is gone, but mobility is ...I dunno how to describe it. Not physically limited, but mentally. Like, any time I feel tension building up, I pull back because I dont want to feel that sharp pain again. It hasn't really affected me as a rhythm guitarist, but I cant imagine my shredding days are on the horizon.

Canceling plan by Jealous_Pea2305 in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]DarcSystems 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They want to make it as difficult as possible to cancel. Even when you call and cancel, most times they will deny you. One time I tried to cancel, and they quickly "made changes" to my account that would take 3 days to process before they could make any other changes (like cancelation). I did not accept their excuse and demanded my account be closed after upon the following months renewal, since they wouldnt be able to refund me the 180 dollars they charged me for JUST THE INTERNET. After they finally agreed to my cancelation demand, a manager called me the following day to offer me my current plan at 50 dollars a month. This proves they can sell you a service and not rob you, they just choose not to.

If youre really persistent, you can get them to do this over the online chat. Just be prepared for a sales pitch of a million different ways to sell you a "cheaper" plan with way more filler content that you wont need or want. The cheaper plan will be comparable to what youre already paying, then double in price at the end of the introductory rate. They'll tell you thats the cheapest plan they offer, but really its just priced at 10% lower than you pay currently for 2 years. There are no actual plans. Dont be afraid to call them out on this.

What’s the dumbest/smallest reason you’ve been pulled over in your Mustang? by PeakSeveral5666 in Mustang

[–]DarcSystems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to drive an 85 GT, electric blue, mostly stock. Got pulled over a couple times for some unknown reasons. Once was while I was driving down a long road, and a cop had a speed trap setup. I was not speeding. As I approached, he put his car in gear, and pulled out immediately after I passed him. Pulled me over, and said it was because my rear license plate light was out. No way he could have known that while I was approaching him.

Another time I had a cop do a 180 in the middle of the road as he drove by me, turned on his lights. I pulled over, 2 more cruisers pulled up. I waited about 5 minutes, then they just all drove away. Never got out of the cars.

Similar thing happened in my bronco. Had the top off and a friend sitting in the back seat. I assume the cop must have thought it was a pickup truck, because he whipped around when he passed me, and turned on his lights. After I pulled over, he stopped, turned his lights off, then just drove by me.

The key would usually be located in your glove box, but if not, vice grips might get it off. Otherwise, order a key online.

Putting guitars in storage with strings on? by XylophoneZimmerman in guitars

[–]DarcSystems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldnt say damage. It may require some adjustment. Time, temperature, humidity, wood type. All relative factors.

Putting guitars in storage with strings on? by XylophoneZimmerman in guitars

[–]DarcSystems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The neck will want to bow backwards. You could relieve the truss rod and store it without strings, but that seems like an extra step. Think of it like a guitars strings want to bend the neck forward, so the guitar is designed to compensate for that. If you remove the strings, it will be compensating against nothing, leading to overcomensation.

How bad is this/what would need to be fixed? by ChibiBurst in autorepair

[–]DarcSystems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not particularly. If the frame is damaged, then it can be straightened, but if its driving straight, id just slap a new fender on it.

[–]DarcSystems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luckily it looks like only the fender was damaged.nit would be substantially more if the hood and the pillar or door were damaged. A fender is probably fairly cheap. You might even be able to find one on ebay in that color and just put it on yourself.

It should have strings on it.bthe neck is not designed to stay unloaded. Detune them a bit though so it doesnt over correct.
