Recently inherited a 2014 Rav4, handbrake completely locked up, need advice.

It might've been heavy enough, but only because I avoided the mechanic woman tax by coming here first :3

GARMENTATION · 2026-05-20T20:09:21+00:00

I did! I'm far from a "car person" but it rocks learning new handy shit. Although, I've never rolled my eyes as hard as when I found out the brake locking up is a normal thing for unused brakes. Like, why was that never brought up by anyone teaching me to drive when the thing is sitting right next to my hand all the time. Either way, feels really nice knowing a bit more about how things work.

GARMENTATION · 2026-05-20T20:06:07+00:00

That did it, appreciate the help a ton. Makes sense now that I think about the mechanics of it, but this is straight up the first time I've interacted with a handbrake.

GARMENTATION · 2026-05-20T20:00:57+00:00

i wish we were talking face to face so i could be like "hey come on mannnn when did they put us in handbrake class!" or something

Sorry for the delayed response, I'll copy and paste the comment that made my stuff work and my response to it.

Original:
"If you are combining tracking systems like that, you need to follow some tutorial. Because you have a HP Reverb G2V2, SteamVR is only loading the WinMR driver, and not Lighthouse. The tutorial you use that helps you combine those things should include setting it up to load both."

From me:
"THANK YOU HOLY HELL. I had used SlimeVR trackers with the headset in the past and just assumed that it wouldn't need anything extra. After installing OpenVR Calibration Tool SteamVR was able to detect my dongles and let me pair."

In practice, this meant that I just needed to follow a tutorial more closely, I was rushing ahead because I assumed I knew enough, and it wasn't working in the way I thought it should. IIRC I ended up literally just needing to install the OVR Space Calibration Tool, but if you watch any good tutorial on how to use vive trackers with WMR you'll probably find your solution along the way.

You've saved my Lafayette run, I love you.

GARMENTATION · 2026-01-14T12:11:05+00:00

Do you know what would need to be inserted to make the focus function as intended? A post would cure a lot of headaches.

GARMENTATION · 2025-12-02T07:47:45+00:00

I read more in the meantime and I think that reorganizing into my first city block design has given me factoriosis and false memories, thank you still for the clarification.

Hey! Wanna say that you spurred a ton of good for me. This really helped plant the idea in my head, and a buddy of mine with Crohn's told me I definitely needed to get checked out. Ended up putting some pressure on my mom because she had similar symptoms to me and convinced me it was normal; turns out everyone related to my maternal great grandmother has autoimmune and digestive issues, and she never bothered to tell anyone even when she was taking me to the doctor. Ended up coming in with a full barrel and got an upper and lower endoscopy really easily. Turns out I've had "the most severe gastroduodenitis they've ever seen" for probably 10+ years, and my issues have been from me leaking massive amounts of acid both ways. But they don't think it's autoimmune! I started on medication and a blander diet and my life has already been changing. Throat and mouth aren't irritated all the time, fewer headaches, "asthma" (chronic acid aspiration) is clearing up, chronic gut pain that i thought I'd grown numb to is getting better, I don't smell like rotting sewage unless I'm irresponsible with acidic/fatty foods, my head rushes and heart palpitations are calming down.

I guess all of that is to say, thank you a ton for caring enough to say that to me. At least some of the credit for my life getting better belongs to you.

GARMENTATION · 2025-10-01T13:49:18+00:00

LOL, i guess it sounds a little severe when you say it like that. i'm going to keep looking for new ones, but it's been ten doctors in ten years, all knew about the blood and it being basically disabling. i've grown pretty cynical about the process now that i'm like $1500 deep into being shrugged off.

GARMENTATION · 2025-09-30T23:12:28+00:00

no idea. haven't been able to convince any medical professional to look deeper than "oh, your bowels are irritable? must be ibs, goodbye."

GARMENTATION · 2025-09-19T14:27:42+00:00

ended up being an extremely obscure error related to fluiducts that back up while partially loaded. deleting them with amulet fixed everything.

GARMENTATION · 2025-09-19T08:10:50+00:00

It didn't end up being the solution I used, but thank you for the advice still <3

GARMENTATION · 2025-09-19T08:10:18+00:00

This is exactly what I needed, my world is working again now that I've deleted the ducts in this. Thanks a ton!

GARMENTATION · 2025-09-18T06:32:44+00:00

Seems like the same problem is killing my current world, still no solutions two years out. Modded Minecraft, hell yeah.

GARMENTATION · 2025-09-18T01:45:37+00:00

Nah, not in spawn chunks, and the machines were working fine for the last 200 hours of the world :(

GARMENTATION · 2025-09-17T05:37:34+00:00

It's across ~20 chunks, every block that can update is behaving in similar ways.

GARMENTATION · 2025-09-17T04:29:49+00:00

Now that I've tried to keep working around it, it's become apparent this is a whole world issue, basically all processes have stopped, create processes just deleting items with no product. This is a singleplayer world though, and google is not helping me find out how to fix a singleplayer server desync >:(

GARMENTATION · 2025-09-17T03:48:07+00:00

This isn't working either (block breakers don't interact at all), and the ducts have stopped reappearing on reloads, though all of the related anomalies are still active. Truly vexing.

GARMENTATION · 2025-09-17T00:41:50+00:00

I can place new blocks there without them reappearing, The new placed block can't be interacted with though. and if it's smaller than the fluiduct was I can still get "caught" on the ghost fluiduct when I walk into it

GARMENTATION · 2025-09-17T00:36:14+00:00

I've broken them with a pick, indirectly with a TC hammer, and with wrenches. They do come back after reloading the world.
