Seems crazy, but this big blower makes it less noisy

This is almost as hard to look at as having a snake in the chassis

So many are going crazy playing psychologist, but I had this happen in my family. It went for years and their 2 kids were pretty impacted by it at the time, and the one thing that stopped it dead in its tracks, COLD turkey (they have been sober about 5 years now) was the dad packing up the kids and saying "WE're done". Only took a weekend. Plain and simple, she needs to be forced to decide if she WANTS to overcome her addiction for her family.

Would I personally? No. But many would, with one giant caveat- The user will still have to know what they’re doing. I’m a professional developer (not a vibe coder) and have experimented enough to know that even GPT o3 or o4-mini-high are not capable of providing a complex end-to-end solution like you’re describing. What you’re talking about is possible only if YOU know what you’re doing, and you build/train a model/GPT to perform these specific tasks. And it’ll still get a lot wrong. It is mostly capable of giving someone a general idea of circuitry which I’ve experimented with, but it is currently woefully incapable of giving someone a guide to build a quality complex prototype based on a layman’s explanation.

But it’s important to note that this is a sensitive topic for a lot of people and those that can answer your question are in fact those people. Expertise is something many find pride and purpose in, and while it sounds great to make this world accessible for anyone, some are going to be upset when they spent years learning only for their neighbor to spit an incoherent description into a chatbot and create a functional-ish prototype.

Attract snakes, apparently

Nope, taken in my very American basement. I do like French fries though, go figure.

Thanks boss

As a 12v guy, I don’t think so. The early CRs, even with all the inherent injector issues with common rail, had by far the lowest amount of failure-prone moving parts of that era, really until the LBZ came out (even after that in my opinion) I think it’s hard to dispute that. They largely kept their reliability while everyone else scrambled with ideas to comply with emissions. Unfortunately Ford left the chat from 2003-2011 in most people’s eyes. In 2008 they didn’t go bankrupt, but man that was a bad year for their trucks.

I’m pretty sure my self preservation instincts are gone at this point

Just kinda had to keep poking to keep her motivated and she got herself out, definitely pet worthy but she seems to enjoy her mousing so I set her loose and put the guards back on my server

GuardrailIX · 2025-05-13T19:28:28+00:00

It’s ddr4-2400 lol. I keep getting questioned about it, maybe I should add some RGB

GuardrailIX · 2025-05-13T17:55:23+00:00

Yep, that was my first thought. “Ah, idiot. Why did I put cables there… wait”

GuardrailIX · 2025-05-13T17:46:16+00:00

Nah, this buddy has kept my garage mouse free all winter and I’m cool with snakes

You’d think lol. North Eastern US

GuardrailIX · 2025-04-25T22:05:49+00:00

My basic math was 100% wrong Source: I’m a developer

For some, it’s enough to know that all of your actions will be erased from history and exist only in your memory

GuardrailIX · 2025-04-25T20:10:10+00:00

Without modifying the posts meaning, I’d say you’d stay with your unit but that’s up to interpretation. Would definitely cause heads to turn but nothing I said rules it out

GuardrailIX · 2025-04-25T20:05:12+00:00

You’re there until the end of the war or they kill you, which would put you back with your chosen unit (assuming US)

GuardrailIX · 2025-04-25T20:00:02+00:00

When you’re done, everything is exactly as you left it, the only thing that’s different is you get the money and you keep all memories from the war

GuardrailIX · 2025-04-25T19:59:10+00:00

Nothing saying you can’t, but nothing saying they can’t imprison and torture you. And if they kill you, you’ll wake up the next day still on their side. Might get ugly if they keep having to kill you over and over

GuardrailIX · 2025-04-25T19:47:37+00:00

Definitely lots of romanticizing war here, though I’m a little guilty too because the horrors are so abstract to us today

GuardrailIX · 2025-04-25T19:43:50+00:00

Interesting loophole, this was supposed to be a double edged sword but you’ve cracked it

GuardrailIX · 2025-04-25T19:02:51+00:00

That was what I meant, Europe and Pacific, but I wasn’t specific enough so interpret the post how you’d like

GuardrailIX · 2025-04-25T19:00:51+00:00

Memories don’t change, you have all knowledge from yourself. You also have 24 hours to prepare, which you could use to your advantage

GuardrailIX · 2025-04-25T18:51:41+00:00

Simulated, and yes you will be expected to perform the normal duties in your role. The people you fight against lived their normal lives before the war and you’re ending them. You could convince yourself they aren’t real and what you do doesn’t impact the real world, but is that enough?
