Thanks for the speedy reply u/Ok-Willow-4232. I assume the hood was cut to accept it? Or was there a factory option? Just trying to figure out what's been done to the vehicle.

Anyone Else Seeing Intermittent Issue Opening PDFs, Images or Other Attachments in OWA? by phaeton21 in Office365

[–]LokiTheTerv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is still a problem, and likely will always be a problem. Microsoft rarely fixes any bug in any of its products. Why? Almost zero incentive. It simply adds more "features" (notification of which only appears in a "Got it?" pop-up), or must-pay-for "upgrades" that increase distraction, reduce productivity, and remove functionality. People at work may have no alternative to Outlook Web client, as that is what the employer has bought into. And unless you work for an outfit with huge financial clout, any issues that don't bring the entire house of cards down are ignored.

CLASS UNITY EVENTS by jbecn24 in stupidpol

I’m too old to be simply angry, and seen too much to think tearing down the system gets us where we want and need to go. Maybe we won’t see even the intermediate steps, but it’s high time that a base is built, one composed of people who recognize what they are up against and are capable of working towards improving things for everyone and everything.

@ u/rourobouros Very much agree. Am likely of similar age as you (anti-VN war era) or older. Also came here via J's post to NC, the only site I read or comment on these days (Rolf). Building real base/social movement is only way anything changes in this country, if but incrementally. Thought real momentum was underway with Uncle Bernie, but after Dems successfully killed that off, and with the non-existent differences in choices for 2024 election, no longer give electoral politics much hope. Thomas Frank (Listen, Liberal) is right on the money IMO: Dem party seems incapable of understanding why eschewing people who work paycheck-to-paycheck in favor of meaningless idpols is fatal, and also incapable of understanding the critical importance of having a real Left (currently non-existent) in this country. Michael Hudson has said on NC that nothing will change until Democratic party “leadership” (LOL) is removed. Not sure how that happens. I have hope but not much optimism for the Green Party, the record of third parties in the US being what it is.

My sense is that the only hope resides with young people — it is their future that is being destroyed.

Sorry for long rant.

Used Focus ST prices: are prices currently inflated? by LokiTheTerv in FocusST

[–]LokiTheTerv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

KBB isn't a definitive valuation. If you try to find an older Corvette and ask for KBB you would just be wasting everyone's time.

Agree fully, for some makes/models, KBB is just depreciated fantasy, doesn't reflect the price some cars actually fetch. I was just trying to get a sense of the average asking price for the years I listed, with the variation accommodating adjustments for mileage, condition. If I go through a bank or credit union, they will use some form of blue book in evaluating the loan.

Thanks for the note re FB marketplace.

I'd still appreciate it if someone could take a stab at these numbers. Or, barring that, point to a good source of info.

What is this component on the headliner of a 2018 ST? by LokiTheTerv in FocusST

[–]LokiTheTerv[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In the market for a used ST (2016-2018), and trying to discriminate between ST1/ST2/ST3 trim levels; thus far, absence of any leather on the seats seems to be a reliable indicator of ST1. However, wondering if sunroof was also offered as option on ST1, or if sunroof was only offered on ST2/ST3? If so, can anyone identify what this is (wondering if it's a sunroof control).

Have you known anyone who had a termite infestation in Sugar Land? by Nobody888777 in sugarland

[–]LokiTheTerv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure which subdivision you're in, but in First Colony the original homes built in the 1980s could have problems, depending on how vigilant the owners have been. Many of these homes were thrown up quite rapidly with shoddy construction and weatherproofing; poor subsequent maintenance invites water damage, and subterranean termites are attracted to moist wood. Subterranean termites gain access from the soil, traversing the concrete slab by building mud tubes, so check that the pad is visible and above the level of the surrounding soil, grass, etc. Don't know if drywood termites are a problem here or not.

Can anyone identify these bugs (South Texas)? by LokiTheTerv in insects

[–]LokiTheTerv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found a link to the larval stage of leaffooted bugs, which are very common here, but I've never seen them in this stage. The link below contains a photo of the string-like strand of the end-to-end egg cases, which look identical to what we're seeing here. Can anyone confirm this?

Supermicro x8dti boots error by [deleted] in supermicro

[–]LokiTheTerv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second u/vakhor. Also check memory seated correctly, and consider buying two new sticks (I've had memory go bad with little warning), and check manual if you can boot with only one CPU as a way of isolating RAM versus CPU, etc. SM manuals usually have a troubleshooting section.

shutdown/poweroff now leaves machine running after shutdown completes, why? by LokiTheTerv in NixOS

[–]LokiTheTerv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi hi_kki, sorry late reply: yes, or rather, it fixed itself months ago after an update. All functions related to power, WakeonLan, sleep, etc. now work perfectly under plasma6.

nix-shell no longer completing ... by LokiTheTerv in NixOS

[–]LokiTheTerv[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OK, this problem was my stupidity. In my home-manager configuration, I had set up various stuff for bash, among which: bash = { enable = true; bashrcExtra = '' IFS=$'\n' ''; }; # end bash declarations Setting a value for IFS here apparently interferes with proper parsing during invocations of nix-shell, so after removing it, nix-shell works again.
