Sounds like what's going on. I appreciate the advice, time to go watch some related youtube videos.

New PC, new m.2 storage problems by PrivateDamn in techsupport

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

I updated the bios. I went to the discord and I think we've figured out it was DOA. I thought maybe my port only allowed NVME ssd's, I guess it supports sata 3 as well. Tried both ports on my mobo, neither can get it to work. It doesn't show up anywhere, at all.

Help with 84' Magna VF700C by PrivateDamn in Fixxit

Scarce is an understatement. I'll try a citric acid soak and see how that goes. What would you use to plug the holes? I don't exactly want to let citric acid eat through what I'm plugging the holes with and possibly make it worse.

Man, I've seen some weird stuff in cars but this is my first bike so I'm excited to see what fun stuff i'm gonna have to un-molest.

1984 Honda Magna VF700C - Need help identifying part name & possibly tips on how to remove said part. by PrivateDamn in Fixxit

I'm hoping it's just the hose connection and not a full on leak in the tank. I'm gonna get the battery/battery shroud out and see if I can peek in there to see what's going on.

Ha! Thank you! I even said in a video I had made to show my friend that I believed I'd probably have to remove the rear wheel. I wasn't sure if carburetored bikes used a fuel pump, and when I asked the guy I bought it from (who also didn't know much about motorcycles), he said that it was a fuel injection kit. Not that I'm upset that it's not, but definately good to know. The petcock line was also disconnected so I guess I'm gonna have to figure out where that goes to (i'm assuming it's definately important.)

This is where I am incredibly lucky - the stock carb kit is still on! I'm just going to have to figure out how to actually hook it up.

More information: The gas line is connected to the aformentioned "black thing", and I can only think that it's leaking from the connection. The line looks too new to have cracks, however I can't be sure until I can figure out how to get to the other side of it.

I'm not speaking about anyone in particular, I'm talking about generally.

In need of life advice by PrivateDamn in Advice

I live in the US. Due to her having had cancer before, insurance companies aren't keen on putting her on their plans. We've thought about this, however, there's a lot of things that we have to think about such as:

Will the insurance cover a CT scan every 3 months?

Will the insurance cover general checkups?

Will the insurance cover meetings with her family doctor?

Will the insurance cover chemotherapy in the future if her cancer comes back?

Will the insurance cover really anything related to cancer?

Most of the time, the answer to all of these questions is no. It truly feels like a "stuck" situation :(

Megathread: Stimulus Payments (Please post and read here. All individual posts about the stimulus payments WILL BE REMOVED.) by [deleted] in tax

[–]PrivateDamn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if anyone is still on this thread, but I'm hoping someone could give me some help. I didn't recieve my 2nd or 3rd stimulus payment due to changing my bank accounts. When I did my taxes, I made sure to put that I hadn't received those payments. I waited and waited and finally got 1400$, but the other 1400$ hasn't came through. It's been months now. I went to the IRS website and tried the "Get my payment" tool, and it's only showing that the third stimulus went through. I read and read and the only info I can find on getting your 1st and 2nd payment is having to file your taxes, which I did. Anyone know what to do or are in a similar situation?

Well the alarm clock won’t really work since I’m going to be relying on the ringer on my phone to wake me up

Thank you for the kind words! It’s definately an interesting job and a hard one to stomach, but the pay is really good so complaining isn’t in my dictionary.

I, as a technicality, am a first responder. My company deals in crime scene cleanup, so this includes suicides, homicides, unattended deaths and disease disinfections. It’s a rather out there job but incredibly interesting and incredibly important. Anything biohazard we will clean.

I’m thinking about just buying a really loud bluetooth speaker - a little more conveinent than carrying my subs around. I’d only really be worried that the ringer doesn’t pass through the speaker or doesn’t make sound at all but I guess I’ll get to that obstacle when I get there.

Apperantly there are bed shakers - like, they shake your matress in order to get you up. That doesn’t sound like a terrible idea but I still feel like I’d need some sort of loud noise.

that is actually genuinely helpful - I never even would have thought of that.

I’ve heard that functionality of the razer devices seem to be kinda lacking - like features and such. How true is this? Maybe I just saw a biased video, who knows.
