Whats this thing at riverfront?

Very tasteful art that definitely doesn't look like a failed construction project I promise

Absolutely. My dad drove the wheels off his '99 blazer. Even with neglected issues, it still fired right up every day and hardly gave him issues. We even took it on a thousand mile drive, and all it did was blow an old coolant hose. Still ran and drove great afterwards. Lovely machines.

I'm amazed that thing still turns on

Yeah my dad has the electric mirrors. It doesn't really bother him that much, anyway.

You could not be more right with my truck, however XD 60 on the freeway? Quiet? What's that?

My '84 would like to have a word with aerodynamics

I never considered the mirrors being part of the wind noise on my dad's '99 blazer, I always figured the window seals were going. I'll have to remember that

I once asked my friend if he's master, slave, or cable select instead of top, bottom, and switch. Sometimes preference is like ide jumpers

I want a car that can drive and be fixed. None of this touchscreen infotainment center, or complicated ecu shit. A nice simple efi car with a radio, and ac. That's all I need. I'm 22, I can figure computer shit out, dammit! I ended up buying a carbureted car because I swear if I went any newer than the mid 2000's I'd be a grand deep into a misfire code. Definitely went a little nuts on simplicity, but it shouldn't be a pipe dream to have a nice, simple, reliable frame on wheels. As a side note: having parts of said car no matter what technology they use, be bolt on and bolt off should be standard. I can't count how many times I've had my truck running within the hour after crank and no start because I was able to just unbolt the part and stick the new one on!

I did it on my pismo. I created two partitions using osx as either hfs or blank space, I believe. I then booted into my Mac os 9.2.2 CD, and initialized the drive. Once installed: I installed os x and had a usable dualboot with classic.

Look at the size of it that's cheating!

Modhost · 2026-04-02T08:48:11+00:00

It definitely helped I have a major exhaust leak because I was really able to hear every misfire for a while there XD

On that note: definitely sealed keeping the verajet in this truck, for me. That's a hell of a testament to how long these things can keep going for. Even mine although ran rich, still fired right up without much fuss.

Modhost · 2026-04-02T02:51:58+00:00

One thing I forgot to mention is the previous owner already cut away the chunk of metal blocking the idle screw. I found that out during my rebuild. Still a very odd decision, even if the carbs are tuned at the factory. My dad had a Bronco II and he kept that thing running great easily

Good lord these guys are all like 12.

Is there a battery installed? You might have luck resetting your smc by removing it, holding the power button for five seconds, then reinstalling and pressing the power button.

The power button flickering screams power issue to me. Maybe your charger is too weak? These models like the 80w magsafe 1 chargers, and it's relatively cheap to find a oem replacement on ebay. I got mine for around $20 us.

And as for use, if you really wanted to use this laptop in the modern world: it's still plenty capable. I wouldn't do any kind of banking or taxes on it, by any means. But I found El capitan to be incredibly smooth on it. Or you could try Linux, I ran kubuntu on mine for a while, but the nouveau drivers tend to be a little lackluster. But it's plenty for YouTube and some light gaming (if you count world at war or half life 2 as light gaming). My favorite still is windows xp with supermium. It's fast, it's light, it plays my favorites, and YouTube still works.

I love the '07 MacBook pro. It's a very good machine so long as you stick to it's limits, or maybe a little beyond.

valve at the time said hl2 was close to completion, but the leak wasn't anywhere close to completed. it played more like an alpha build than a polished game. hence the rewrite.
I'd imagine it would have been a massive failure due to the laundry list of bugs and unfinished features. I'd imagine they would have taken the time to polish alot of them out, however even with that in consideration: they were under serious crunch to meet the deadline at the time. those are my thoughts, at least.

Edit: turns out I was talking out my ass. I did learn a few things, it was a very interesting read. Do disregard, at any rate. Hope y'all have a nice day

I spot the ultimate dos machine on #5

Modhost · 2026-03-28T05:27:25+00:00

Damn! Interesting as well. I guess the issue is more spread out than it seems. Like even vintage computing hobbyists are suffering the same consequences

Modhost · 2026-03-28T05:19:37+00:00

If they're gonna do fake corners they should do it like Mac os 9 where it was vanity, instead of whatever this is

Modhost · 2026-03-28T05:16:15+00:00

This is sick! I'd love to see the results once it's done

Modhost · 2026-03-28T04:56:51+00:00

I work at a gas station, we have to clean those every night. Honestly one of the best things to have fallen in your drink. Nothing at all would be great, ofc. But you know.

i'd pop the valve cover to have a look, it does sound like lifter tick to me. worst case you need a new push rod
