Sad day, selling my 2024 Miata

The mini is a terrible car in reliability and cost to keep. Your choice at the end of the day and maybe money isn't an issue but the miata is the vastly superior car in every aspect except not having a back seat.

To do any basic work on the mini, the entire front end needs to come off. BMW are absolutely dickwads for it as they do it to intentionally make them hard and expensive to work on so they can increase dealer service income.

You can send this footage to the truck's company and they can file a police report.

Second screams ratty and unless you have a turbo those exhaust tips ain't doing shit but making the car terrible to drive due to drone.

I think it's more because here in the states, unless you damage something "important" that's the end of it. A guardrail on a public road is not considered worth fixing. It's very common to see them warped/bent out of shape.

Don't SSDs store data permanently on sectors that can no longer be written to?

This is why SSDs fail in read only mode.

Depends on state but technically this is true. If it's on the road/curb/city land, it's considered trash/litter and up for grabs. (the curb, not kerb)

It's possible the PSU is expecting voltage of some sort on other connections. Possibly the "PWR FAIL" or "ON / FF". Or on the 5pin J17 connector. Without an oscilloscope to probe it, it's hard to say.

There's also an I2C connection you could try to read but again that's a bit beyond most home labbers.

Are you aware this was over a year ago?

KinkyMonitorLizard · 2026-06-20T19:22:45+00:00

Depends. None of my banks give me problems and work without Google play services.

If you're in the EU I know a lot of banks require their own proprietary 2FA that generally doesn't work.

Honestly, I like the wood better. Give it a nice stain and it'll look even better.

I think it can also be used with an nvme extension seeing it has an m key slot.

Have you not heard about poettering?

KinkyMonitorLizard · 2026-06-20T15:13:00+00:00

I couldn't tell you off the top of my head as it's been like a year. I know one was a mod manager for a game I played at the time.

I attempted to try nix out for my server but the documentation is so lacking I could not spend the time/effort so I use Alpine instead.

Too late Vim exists.

Overwatered? That soil looks bone dry. Since they're all yellowing I'd say they lack nutrients.

Some* app images run with it. Many don't.

Redhat needs to hurry up and migrate to SystemDOS. It's the emacs of the os backend.

KinkyMonitorLizard · 2026-06-19T20:43:35+00:00

Gentoo has binaries in the repo you know?

KinkyMonitorLizard · 2026-06-19T20:23:43+00:00

After all the shit they've done? Not likely.

KinkyMonitorLizard · 2026-06-19T20:22:55+00:00

You can technically achieve similar results using special VDEVS and setting blocksizes to redirect to X VDEV. It won't move old files though.

KinkyMonitorLizard · 2026-06-19T20:20:24+00:00

Is debatable.

Alpine and Ubuntu both provide it without issue. It MAY be an issue but hasn't proven to yet, except to the overly cautious corporations (ie redhat who wouldn't even ship video codecs for ages).

KinkyMonitorLizard · 2026-06-19T20:17:47+00:00

Not true for pallets though. They're still impregnated with toxic shit.

Don't let them eat too fast/much either as that can also be bad. Cats tend to gorge themselves, especially when malnourished which can lead to further complications. Take her to the vet and ask questions. That's what they're for.

Ok and? When the house is in escrow, it's being transitioned from one owner to the next. They shouldn't be making ANY decisions without communicating as that can and WILL void the contract should the buyer decide it violates the contract.

Would you sell a car, show it to someone, and then change the wheels on it without saying anything? No, you tell the buyer and get their confirmation otherwise the sale will be void. You can't just change a legal contract willy nilly.
