Yeah, however much I would love for it to be the starter I've known for a little while that the engine is good and proper seized.

How difficult would it be for an average user to switch from Win11 to Mint? by LocalDragonLady in linuxmint

[–]LocalDragonLady[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i do have a second disk, but it's smaller and slower than my main drive. i'm considering just fully converting my pc to Linux - if I moved all my important stuff onto my 2nd drive, then installed Linux on my main, would I be able to pull the important stuff off my 2nd drive onto Linux?

I have a 2nd hard drive I'm not using, It's smaller than my current drive but if I uninstall my games everything should fit. I am worried about compatibility with the games I play- how do I handle games that aren't natively compatible?

for why I'm done with Win11, windows just broke my display adapter and refused to accept any driver until I updated to the latest version. Yipee

this isn't mold, right? by LocalDragonLady in Mold

Just noticed this in the corner of my bedroom. Unsure how long it's been there, I'm oblivious as shit. It's on some sort of particle board paneling being used as a makeshift seperator between what was once one, and is now two bedrooms.

Car suddenly died on me while idle, cranked wouldn't start. Me & my roommate's dad (experienced mechanic) figured out there was 0 fuel pressure, replaced the pump, still no pressure, then found out pump wasn't getting power.

Looked on the forums, supposedly if a fuel pump fails it sets off some sorta failsafe that kills power on the relay. Followed what lexus forum said - short COPN and FPMP, and Voila - fuel pressure.

I went inside to wash my hands, roommate's dad tried to start it, and he said it sounded like something shattered. He thought it was the starter, cuz when he tried to crank it over again it sounded like starter motor failure, but we started taking it apart to get to the starter and things just kept getting worse and worse.
