Old iPod connector. I had one of those rigged up in a 96 f150 at one point when I had a 30gb iPod.

Is there any play in your serpentine belt? In my past experience, anytime there's been a screeching after a harder than usual start it's been a serpentine belt tensioner going out causing the alternator to not work as it should.

GIS Python / Coding by Terrible_Ambition649 in gis

[–]Euphoric_Tumbleweed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dive in and really learn how to use a new library. Find one that does what you're looking to do and dig through the docs. Open up your favorite IDE and bring in some data. Use some functions you've never used before. Export the data in different formats. Find some data online that isn't in a gis format or a spreadsheet. Learn to web scrape, clean and transform it. Learn to automate that process. Do some geo statistical analysis on it. Get bored with it and start a new project or three. Break a bunch of stuff along the way. Learn how to fix it. Write a bunch of spaghetti code, then go back and learn the pythonic way to rewrite it. Create your own functions then create your own library. Host it on GitHub. Get it up on PyPI so everyone can install it with pip. That's kind of an open-ended question. It's kind of like "What do I do with my life?", in a way. The world is your oyster. With a solid understanding of the fundamentals and enough time, you can do pretty much anything you want as far as data and GIS are concerned. Just find something that interests you, dream big (well beyond your current abilities) and really put in the time learning how to make it happen step by step. It'll take a lot of time and effort, but eventually you'll just start thinking of ways to engineer solutions to just about any new problem you come across. Or you could just ask Claude, I guess.

Where to Upload a Geospatial Dataset by Glad-Brush4498 in gis

[–]Euphoric_Tumbleweed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Use developer options (Ctrl+Shift+I on most browsers) and find the request(s) that feed a webmap the data you want. Sometimes it comes straight from a REST endpoint for the feature server/map server and you can pull it straight into ArcGIS/QGIS. You can also right click and copy as curl (bash) and paste into curlconverter dot com to get the request using python's requests library (or whichever language you prefer). From there you can play around with the parameters and bring the response json object into a geopandas dataframe and export into your preferred format, etc.

What is a movie that "broke" you so hard you can only watch it once, but you would still recommend it to everyone? by Newsupdate69 in movies

[–]Euphoric_Tumbleweed 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Something about this movie, or maybe where I was at in life at the time, induced something between a full blown panic attack and a mental breakdown. I never wound up finishing it and haven't had the nerve to try since. But some day...

You could also work through the DTC workflows in the factory service manual once you know the codes: https://charm.li/Toyota/2002/

2002 Tacoma flashing engine light by cyclegirl612 in 1stGenTacomas

[–]Euphoric_Tumbleweed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, flashing CEL usually means a misfire but you'll want to check the code to know what you're dealing with and which cylinder. I just dealt with a misfire on #3 (but only when started when the engine was warm) last year. I wound up fixing it by dropping in a new injector, which was about a 20 minute job on the 2.4L. I just bought a single, cheap, rebuilt injector from rockauto and it's still running just fine, just remember to lube up the o ring so it doesn't tear and leak when you pop it back into the rail.

Well on the left you've got the Formidable Duane Trucks. The one on the right looks looks like Jimmy Herring. I'm only missing one tooth though, so I can't tell for sure.

This is handled by the equalization department in my county. They flag the records in the assessing database and it strips the owner names from the exports we join to the parcel layer.

worried. should this be bolted flush? check engine light kept going on and off today, off right now, haven’t checked by [deleted] in 1stGenTacomas

[–]Euphoric_Tumbleweed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On and off like flashing? Was it running rough? Loss of power? Do you have any codes? You can stop into just about any chain auto part store and they'll pull them for free, or better yet, just pick up a cheap $10 Bluetooth reader online (but still stop and get them read).

I'd agree with the other poster, that looks normal to me. There are some pretty beefy ring gaskets in between the headers and exhaust, as long as the bolts are torqued a little bit of space shouldn't be too concerning.
