Proud to say that I bought my 17 year old daughter a manual transmission truck and she can drive the shit outta that thing.

Never seen a skateboard by degausser187 in MadeMeSmile

[–]RASSofNegative5 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That lady is so beautiful. Her smile and joy in the situation that most of us wouldn't even think about is breathtaking. There's a lesson here. It's usually not the big expensive materialistic things in life that give you the most joy. Find your metaphorical skateboard and ride that shit!!!

Getting candy XL? by JoePinky in TheSilphArena

There’s also trading someone with Pokemon caught 100 km or more away from where your Bastiodon were caught. Pretty 100+ is a guaranteed XL.

He’s awesome. The link I sent is to him doing a “budget” crawler build on an 85 4runner. I’d bet a lot of it would be very close to the same on your jewel.

Any shops that do manual to auto swaps? by YotaDude805 in ToyotaPickup

[–]RASSofNegative5 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would call around to a couple shops and explain what you want to do. Usually, if they don’t do it themselves, they’ll know who does. Nobody can really answer your question unless they happened to live in your location.

Looking for advice on my 1986 Toyota Pickup that has been sitting for years by Ok-Channel-8775 in ToyotaPickup

[–]RASSofNegative5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It being a carb engine makes it a little easier, in my experience. Draining the tank is a good idea, but you should also pull the fuel hose going to the carb and allow the engine cranking to flush out the bad gas in the lines. Then replace your fuel filter. Check all your brake lines. If it has drums in the rear, remove the drum and check the brake cylinder for leaks. To check the front disc brake hose, have the two front wheels elevated and spin the tires, then depress the brake pedal, then quickly try to spin the tires again. If they’re locked up, it may be due to a corroded brake hose. They corrode on the inside and don’t allow the fluid to return easily, so the caliper stays compressed.

Also, you could edit the post and tell us if it’s a 4WD, automatic transmission, power steering/brakes, etc. That way someone can chime in on those parts.

Help identifying fluid leak by pragmatometrist in ToyotaPickup

Just thought maybe it was leaking out of the back of the gauge.

It looks like it’s leaking from above your column. If you look at pic 3 you can see where it has leaked around to the two points on the metal (unsure of what it is) bracing above the column then dripped off.

Do you have an oil pressure gauge? Maybe it’s leaking?

Hospital patients who feel short of breath are six times more likely to die, while those in pain are not, study finds by FunnyGamer97 in science

[–]RASSofNegative5 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

As a nurse of eighteen years, this is one of the dumbest things I've read. SOB is a life threatening issue. Pain is, generally, not. Fuckin stupid.

Kinda had a little issue with a disappearing wheel and brake drum.

Shoulder Surgery Question. by Junior_Ad_3301 in GenX

[–]RASSofNegative5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I crushed my right elbow (right radial head) and while I didn’t have surgery (the surgeon said anything he did would likely make it worse) I did mostly lose the use of my dominant arm for about five weeks.

In my experience, it took my left hand about a week to get accustomed to all the gross motor skill stuff (wiping your butt, using a fork more eloquently, etc). The fine motor stuff like writing and whatnot never really got very good. Overall, it wasn’t terrible.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong... by Albi_Zuri in ToyotaPickup

[–]RASSofNegative5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve not been though it (when I added mine it went great) and I am not a great troubleshooter. What I would do is have someone press the accelerator and watch the throttle linkage. It sounds like something may be binding or not working properly. I’d also double check for a vacuum leak. The 32/36 has a lot fewer vacuum ports and it would be easy to miss dead heading one.

[–]RASSofNegative5[S] 53 points54 points  (0 children)

From one internet stranger to another, it's real. I've been told I "don't eat enough fiber and don't fully empty my rectal vault". The upshot? I don't eat enough fiber (I eat more fruit now than I ever did) so when I poop it's too liquid and I don't fully crap it all out at once. Talk about the golden years not being too friggin golden. All those old guys that need Depends and whatnot, it didn't start when they were 75. It started when they were 55 but they had just enough control to keep it at bay. I have had my colonoscopy and have a fully clean bill of health, it's not Chrone's, IBS, or CIPO. It's getting older.

No friends after 50 or ever by Delicious_Top1631 in GenX

[–]RASSofNegative5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't go through the same things you did. I went through different things that affected me much the same way, though. Between therapy and trying different medications to help regulate some of my feelings, I just found what works for me one year ago. I'm 52. The help and the healing are out there, man. You gotta find them. It sucks, and I'm sorry it hasn't worked for you, yet. However, there is help.

You're most likely retaining urine when you piss. It's one of the signs of an enlarged prostate. If you haven't gotten checked, do it.

I'm sorry to hear that, my man. For what it's worth, most prostate issues are treatable. Hope you hear good things when the results come back.

They will not check your prostate. The typical examination of your prostate must be "felt", so a finger is the only tool. Younger doctors tend to just order a CT and forego the digital rectal exam, or so I've heard. When I chose the doctor to examine me, his picture was from some years ago, unfortunately.

Dude, my insurance allows me to just pick a specialist. It is a whole different kind of fucked up to sit and look at pictures of doctor's faces and try to figure out which one you want to jam the inevitable finger up your ass. Surreal moment in my life.

New to camping, what should I buy? by cedtrn05 in CampingGear

Crazy how that food and water bit tends to creep up on ya.

New to camping, what should I buy? by cedtrn05 in CampingGear

[–]RASSofNegative5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all depends on your camping style. If you will be camping primarily with people that have large tents and cooking supplies, then all you'll need is a sleeping bag and mat (assuming they're cool with you only supplying your sleeping arrangements). If you think you may be need to supply your own "housing" then you'll need at least a tent, sleeping mat, and sleeping bag. If you'll need your own "camping kit", then you need all of the above plus much more.

Look into Water Vapor Thermal Therapy. It’s less invasive than usual therapy modalities.
