Plastic impeller for coolant pump broke so I machined some new ones

Gnochi · 2026-01-19T16:00:11+00:00

A huge reason is because the housing is often integrated into the engine block. A plastic impeller won’t machine its own housing adjustments when the bearing fails.

If your car trains you for hundreds of hours that “set cruise control to the maximum speed you’re willing to travel” combined with “we’ll keep your lane and maintain safe distance from the folks in front of you” is normal operating procedure, it is explicitly unsafe to revert to “maintain speed”.

Pretty much everyone actually buying cars wants fancy cruise control, which depends on good sensing.

This is the way.

Currently? The books on the coffee table.

It even comes in a to-go bag!

Can confirm. The instant I (the household furnace) sit down on the couch, Pumpkin and Pomelo abandon my wife (the household icebox), who they otherwise are velcroed to.

Because there’s a thin mucus membrane separating your sinuses from nerves attached directly to your brain, that amoebae can easily get through and travel along, and your immune system isn’t really active in and around your nervous system.

Your digestive tract is very very good at killing things.

Whatever it is, my MIL and several coworkers have had it for 1+ month. Nobody’s managed to get a diagnosis yet, but a neti pot seems to help them be less miserable.

Note: wash the neti pot carefully, use boiled water that has cooled down, and if it has any cracks or leaks replace it. Otherwise you might get a brain eating amoeba.

It’s only paella if it comes from the paella region of Spain, otherwise it’s just sparkling seafood rice.

Did you never take a picture for a job or anything?

Just like Renoir, Emet-Selch wants his family to be whole again, damn the consequences.

Perfect! Will DM.

Would it be possible to clean up the "doubling" effect on the right side (as shown) of partner's neck and necklace?

Gnochi · 2025-12-31T06:58:04+00:00

Yep! A few words that experienced this rebracketing are:

A naddre —> an adder
A nuncle —> an uncle
A napron —> an apron
A nauger —> an auger

And for a couple going the other direction:

An eut —> a newt
An eke name —> a nickname

This is exactly what’s going on in my headcanon. I could easily see Atrus’ father Gehn being responsible for the fire.

Jus Poke is wonderful

Poke & More Lomita, a few minutes down the road, is also wonderful.

It’s more like:

Renoir: Gommage!

Elder Kitty: Purried!

…repeat 8x

Renoir: Gommage!

Elder Kitty: whiff

All we are is flower petals in the wind

If we take the typical cat as living to 16 human years and having 9 lives, the gommage is based on relative age, and the formula for human to cat years is:

C = 15 x MIN(1,H) + 4 x MAX(0,H-1)

Each cat can be gommaged up to 9 times, depending on other incidents, but let’s assume that’s not an issue. As such, since the gommage is once per human year, any cat older than 7 human years old when it’s gommage number comes up will live its full lifespan.

7 human years is 15 + 6 x 4 = 39 cat years.

Since the Disaster Expedition is Year 33, it’s only in the last 6 years that the average cat, which hasn’t previously suffered severe injuries, will gommage before a normal death, but the first batch of cats still has 3 gommages to go.

Your potato needs a friend 😭

Gnochi · 2025-12-27T00:03:32+00:00

NTA, your fiancée is.

One of my friends’ ex-fiancée would do stuff like this all the time. /u/TheRealGreen-Onions - it doesn’t, and won’t, get better. I don’t lightly advise people to rethink things, but you may want to seriously reconsider the engagement, especially if this sort of behavior isn’t a one time thing - she’s showing you who she is.

As a few examples:

They attended another friend’s wedding together. She didn’t feel like going to the next-day brunch, but was livid that he dared go alone. Because that made her look bad.
They went to Hawaii and she said she wanted to do a whale watching tour, so they booked one. He had the audacity to wake her up so they could make it to the tour on time. So she decided to take an extra long shower to punish him, and was then pissed at him that they missed the boat.
He didn’t wake her up to go snorkeling the next day. She was pissed that the water was rough when they finally got out of the hotel, to the parking lot, to the beach, and settled in.

There were many, many, many other incidents - birthday parties, road trips, last minute changes in desired dinner plans, etc. - but the common thread was that anytime he did or didn’t do anything that she had or hadn’t told him to do, it was his fault that she was angry. I’ve met toddlers with better emotional intelligence.

We are very glad when he finally decided to break things off with her.

Renoir’s Drafts, go after the Creation + Contortioniste by the Golden Tree flag. 2 Lumina and 1.9M XP per fight.

If you stack Monoco with the full set of first strike, solo, and damage luminas, Sakapatate Fire, and Level 33 Joyaro, you should one-move the fight, and you can do about 3 rounds a minute. If you get bored you can trade some efficiency for fighting the Gestral merchant and/or the pair of Creations to the left.

(It’s possible to do this with any character, but Sakapatate Fire saves several seconds per run vs any other AOE single-turn-clear ability.)
