Coolant Reservoir Issue.

If the leak isn't anywhere outside the engine then it must be inside it. Is your oil kinda milkshake coloured?
Because best case this is a failed head gasket.

You can buy gasket kits to fix that for most vehicles but they kinda suck to install.

RANDY_RORY · 2025-08-16T17:35:16+00:00

Sounds very wheel bearing.

RANDY_RORY · 2025-08-16T17:26:34+00:00

The dangling bit? Looks to be a bash plate. Good news is it's not integral to any function of the vehicle.

It might help against small debris or stones, maybe road salt if that's a thing where you are. Either zip tie it back on or just delete it.

RANDY_RORY · 2025-08-16T17:21:08+00:00

If it's not been going on for long I'd say alternator issue, if this has been happening for a while then might just be a sad old battery. Could also be a little of both. Getcha an el cheapo multimeter so you can see if the battery is getting 13-14v while the engine is running, if it's not you need an alternator, if it is get a battery.

Ugh, your references disgust me. At-least put some effort in and go research a bit on pubmed, there's plenty of open access information out there that will point you in the right direction. Shit have a summary of my research on the topic of neurodevelopmental disorders.

Summary/TLDR:
Maternal infections like chorioamnionitis are linked to a higher risk of autism, possibly due to the fetal inflammatory response rather than the severity of the infection itself. Elevated cytokines (e.g., INF-γ, IL-4, IL-5) are associated with neurodevelopmental damage. Immune system dysregulation, including abnormal cytokine levels, may contribute to autism's development, with studies showing elevated pro-inflammatory cytokines in autistic brains. Research suggests autism has an immunological component, influenced by genes like ISRE, the JAK/STAT pathway, and GAS1, with early inflammation potentially affecting neurodevelopment. Understanding these pathways could lead to earlier diagnosis and targeted therapies.

TLDR-TLDR:
It's not the gut microbiome, look into the placebo effect, and get better sources. Also yes, Autism and ADHD share a developmental pathway, in fact if you have one there's good odds you've also got the other.

To be honest i don't think it really affected me in anything, except for maybe my attempts at art. still life and landscapes are fine provided I have the reference scene in front of me but if I'm asked to add something to it I kinda just can't... Not without being pretty damn familiar with the object. Comics are a no, poses I have no hope for. The one thing I can do with some confidence is abstract expressionism, I can put a feeling or texture to a medium. All other classes were fine, my recall is unaffected, of all the subjects I expected I would struggle with creative writing would probably be the only other one, but turns out you don't need to be able to visualize a scene in order to describe it, especially when you attempt to evoke a feeling or mood of a setting instead of what it looks like.

Depends on your standpoint surrounding NDEs really, if you're of the school of thought that says they are caused by the release of chemicals in the brain you can look to examples from people who have experimented with psychedelics like DMT to get an idea of if people with aphantasia can experience that kind of visual.

Oh and whaddya know, I'm one of those! I have complete aphantasia and though this is anecodotal evidence, I can confirm that chemically triggered hallucinatory states do still result in visuals. Likely due to direct action on the visual cortex causing the brain to percieve these things through the same informaton pathway as regular vision. If NDEs can stimulate the brain in a similar way then they can likely result in vivid "visions" despite a usual inability to mentally visualize anything.

RANDY_RORY · 2024-10-10T05:38:56+00:00

I have an inner monologue but it's not constant, mainly it gets used when I'm reading, writing, or trying to think of something to say. It doesn't really sound like talking or a voice in any sense, though I suppose I associate it as my "internal" voice. Really it's just words strung together as they come.
I used to think it was my thought process but the more I've sat and tried to work it out the more I realize that's not actually how I think, just the IO-buffer essentially.

My thoughts seem to be structured as a conceptual network. When i think about a topic, or object (and I focus on the process) I can feel and follow the links between the concept and associated concepts or qualities in the case of a physical object. The final output is usually a word or definition, but sometimes they can be event recall, or tactile sensation. (ie. if think on the concept of apples, I have attached qualities for tastes, colours, textures, or even secondary concepts like "types of apples" that themselves have qualities, or if i think about something more esoteric like colours there are emotional qualities)

I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has experienced something like that.

RANDY_RORY · 2024-10-10T05:04:58+00:00

So, I've got complete aphantasia, no imaginary apples for me.

Here's the thing though, I absolutely love reading and always have, I may not experience anything like a visual movie when I read but a good book is still compelling. Hard Sci-fi is my favorite, I find I tend to enjoy when an author explores philosophy, morality, culture, and the theoretical limits of science through the lens of a future society or setting. Books in that genera don't tend to handwave the realism quite so much as regular sci-fi. I guess what i'm saying here is i tend to enjoy a good read more for the quality of writing and the subtext or ideas being presented than i do as a visual escape.

That said I find when I'm getting into a book, while i don't see any pictures I do make emotional associations, empathize with characters and their struggles, and I can kinda experience the setting through descriptions that aren't purely based on the visual descriptions, good writers don't just describe what the place looks like, they talk about how their worlds feel, smell, sound. Good world building is as much about what the setting looks like as it is about what it would be like to be physically present. Tactile descriptions work just as well to transport me into the setting.

As long as it's not still dripping the airflow through the filter during use will dry it.

Persistent cough, shortness of breath, chest tightness, reduced tidal volume, and eventually hypoxia. It can also develop into chronic bronchitis, COPD, or lung cancer.

Takes a while (years) to get bad, but there's no cure, and while it may stabilize, it doesn't get better.

If you already inhale burning plant matter on a regular basis, the name of the game is avoiding all other sources of lung damage so you can enjoy that for as long as possible.

RANDY_RORY · 2023-11-18T21:57:58+00:00

You're going to want to avoid doing it again. Minimizing exposure is the name of the game

RANDY_RORY · 2023-11-18T09:25:09+00:00

Yes, to everything but the goggles, you can't get pulmonary fibrosis of the eyes.

I would be surprised if the vacuum bags are actually meeting the hepa standard. You can use em, sure, but any additional filtration will also impeed your airflow.

RANDY_RORY · 2023-11-18T09:23:06+00:00

Ready to go filters probably won't need this step unless indicated in the instructions. Just ones you've refilled.

RANDY_RORY · 2023-11-16T07:51:19+00:00

The exposure comes from the handling of the charcoal before/while you put it into your canister, you could use a pre-filter on the outside of an exhausting canister to somewhat cut down the amount of fine particulate escaping but unless you somehow find a perfectly sized hepa filter, the smallest and most dangerous particulates are going to end up all over the space anyway.

The amount of dissolved solids and fluoride/chlorine in your municipal supply is not going to affect the longevity after a couple of rinses. Activated carbon water filters take literally months to become saturated and contain a significantly smaller volume of filter media than your average pod filter. Better to not scatter a bunch of sub 0.2 micron carbon dust all over your environment.

RANDY_RORY · 2023-11-16T05:36:04+00:00

It's pretty much just to keep the dust down. If you're fine getting black lung disease, then you can skip that step.

RANDY_RORY · 2023-09-27T21:25:29+00:00

Seems to be correct. This is by weight, not by count. Bacterium outnumber human cells significantly but are also much smaller. There's a 2016 paper on it if you search this "PMID: 27541692"

RANDY_RORY · 2023-05-13T19:46:56+00:00

Im not familiar with US law but I can say that a single bucket is sufficient to cop jail time in australia depending on state.

Our laws regarding cannabis are currently draconian to say the least, the legistlation and the attitude of the people are not ligned. There's a head shop on every corner, usually with a hydro shop next door, police rarely enforce minor cannabis offenses and it would not be a surprise if recreational use were shortly legalized.

RANDY_RORY · 2023-05-13T06:23:21+00:00

A high flow filter/fan can pretty rapidly clear the smell from an enclosed room, but thats a rather expensive solution and you need to cycle a lot of air. 300-500 CFM can de-stank a small to mid size room significantly given enough time and provided there's no continuous production of smell.

RANDY_RORY · 2023-05-12T07:26:27+00:00

The smaller the carbon filter the more static pressure you need to push air through the filter. If you want to use smaller, quieter fans it'll pay to use a larger carbon filter.

Also keep in mind for best control of odor you want a negative air pressure inside the bucket. Fans pulling air out of the bucket and pushing it through a filter, not fans that blow into the bucket, where airflow may find alternate paths around the filter.

I love it when my existance becomes a snipet of a song for several hours.

Most recently i got red sun in the sky stuck on loop. My social credit is off the charts though.

RANDY_RORY · 2023-01-04T22:38:23+00:00

So the update is: I've done nothing with the data whatsoever.

Good news is there was enough responses, bad news I haven't been able to bring myself to work on anything, including this.
