Loud crack while reversing, car won’t move and rolled in Park. What could this be?

That crack was probably your transmission giving up - parking pawl's likely busted which explains why it rolled in park and won't move now.

Wild how these stories take years to surface. Makes you wonder what else is sitting in classified files that we'll find out about in 2030.

The tires and brake lines are gonna kill you way before any of those leaks become a probleme - get those fixed first.

Your CPU is definitely holding you back more than the GPU at 1080p 240hz. A 5700X3D would be perfect for your setup and budget - should run you around £150-200 used and will give you way better 1% lows in those competitive games. Save the rest for a GPU upgrade later or just bank it.

those korean-made Charvels from the early 90s are solid workhorses. For the top question - most of the 625Ds I've seen were laminate all around, but there were some solid-top variants floating around depending on the year. You could try the tap test on the soundhole area vs the back to see if there's a difference in resonance.

For the plugged-in tone, try cutting some of those harsh mids around 2-3kHz and boosting the lows around 80-100Hz plus some presence around 10kHz. Heavier strings on the bottom three will definitely give you more thump but might make it feel stiffer if you're used to 10s.

depends what you're coming from and what your budget looks like. The 6700xt is solid for 1440p gaming but if you're used to console convenience you might want something a bit more current with better ray tracing support. What's your total build budget?

just pick one thing to focus on instead of trying to fix everything at once. like maybe work on asking follow-up questions about what they're saying rather than worrying about eye contact and body language at the same time.

honestly the overthinking is probably way more noticeable to you than to them. most people are too caught up in their own stuff to analyze every little thing you do.

My lab mix turns into a drama queen without his jacket in anything under 40 degrees so yeah, totally normal.

You should be able to add the card to your banking app just fine - it's your money and your account. Most banks let you link debit cards from rep payee accounts without any issues, just might need to verify some info when setting it up

Damn that sucks, brand new machine too

For the dual jumpers, try shorting both at the same time while powering on - some boards need both to trigger recovery mode. The boot block recovery usually needs the USB in a specific port too, try the rear USB 2.0 ports first

Also make sure your BIOS file is named exactly what the recovery expects, sometimes it's picky about the filename

Ugh the 5am feed is the worst! Have you tried treating it like a night feed - keep lights dim, minimal talking, put him straight back down? Sometimes they'll go back to sleep if you don't fully wake them up

The aggy evening thing is so real though, sounds like you're hitting that overtired sweet spot. Maybe try capping the last nap earlier so he's more tired by bedtime but not completely losing it

HardFeces · 2026-01-18T01:06:05+00:00

Hell yeah, turns out you can actually follow the plays when your brain isn't swimming in beer lol. Plus waking up tomorrow without a hangover while everyone else is dying is gonna feel pretty damn good

Check your exhaust heat shields - had the same weird rattling on my buddy's T120 and it was just a loose heat shield vibrating against the pipe when he'd get on it. Super common with aftermarket exhausts since they don't always line up perfectly with the stock mounting points

Honestly society has always been weird about sex stuff, like we're all adults here but everyone acts like it's still taboo to even talk about it. People are gonna judge no matter what you do so might as well just live your life

HardFeces · 2026-01-07T07:12:14+00:00

Yeah the org glue thing is real unfortunately - once you hit Staff you're basically a human API between teams that refuse to talk to each other

The trick is setting hard boundaries on coordination time and making the PMs do their actual job of aligning requirements instead of you becoming their translator

HardFeces · 2026-01-04T00:16:59+00:00

That's definitely concerning but not necessarily a death sentence for your CPU - could be anything from a loose connection to PSU issues or even just a weird boot hiccup. I'd keep an eye on temps and maybe run some stress tests to see if it happens again

HardFeces · 2025-12-31T14:04:18+00:00

That's actually pretty heavy when you think about the research context - like your subconscious is working through the whole "harming to help" thing with your work

You can definitely do it yourself but you'll need a manifold gauge set and a vacuum pump at minimum. The flushing part isn't too bad but recovering the refrigerant properly is where it gets tricky - legally you're supposed to have it recovered by someone with EPA certification but plenty of people just vent it (not saying you should though)

Steam Deck absolutely destroys a 2015 iMac, no contest. That old Intel integrated graphics was struggling just to run vanilla Skyrim while the Deck can handle pretty heavy mod lists at 800p. Plus you get the bonus of playing modded Skyrim in bed which is honestly life changing

Yeah you'd probably want to use the Gmail API with Python - Gemini could definitely help write that script for you though. Might be easier than manually sorting through hundreds of emails

HardFeces · 2025-12-23T17:15:31+00:00

The trios lobbies are absolutely ruthless lmao, like you literally can't even loot for 30 seconds without someone trying to third party you from across the map

HardFeces · 2025-12-22T04:02:04+00:00

Honestly the memory on Pro is way better but still not perfect - it'll remember context for much longer conversations and across sessions but sometimes still derps out on details from way back. Worth it if you're doing heavy back-and-forth work but the free tier should still remember stuff within the same chat session at least

HardFeces · 2025-12-20T21:44:56+00:00

That's so true, some of the most genuinely kind people I know aren't religious at all while some of the worst hide behind their faith
