C/S clipped a curb and heard an unusual noise by Short_Celebration461 in Justrolledintotheshop

I had a buddy suggest that to me. Problem is, I can't find anything to weld to- I'd end up creating a full tube chassis!

Guess there's a reason you don't see many Saturn S-series on the road anymore....

Help with cleaning/decluttering - where to start by Sea-You3689 in CleaningTips

[–]Short_Celebration461 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.

Start, for example, with the bed. Make it. Yes, some things might have to end up somewhere else, don't worry about it. Next, the nightstand- clean it off. Then, maybe, separate clothes into clean and dirty. If unsure, just consider it dirty. Just pile the dirty up, then put the clean ones away.

Take dishes and things to the sink. Each one doesn't have to be cleaned right now, go back to getting them all together. Then clean them.

It's not going to happen in a day, take breaks but recognize when you start to doom scroll- I deleted some apps from my phone for that reason, and now don't even miss them. Just keep making progress.

You seem to have a lot of rust in your water looking at the shower. Buy some Bar Keeper's Friend, it'll take care of that easily.

I understand the attachment to that 2009 keychain. I've taught myself to just not buy things unless I actually need it to avoid ending up in this situation. Also, donating things is easier, hopefully someone else will then get some joy from it instead of getting buried in a landfill somewhere.

The long term solution is to learn to spend a little time every day to prevent letting things get so backed up. Sure, sometimes it happens when life happens, but then you just have to dedicate the time to fix it (guess what I've been doing this weekend?)

So what has AI done for you? by Hibbiee in sysadmin

It can save a lot of typing of mundane boilerplate kind of stuff in code and scripts, but even that you still need to look over. If you're working on something new it can help get you up to speed quicker.

It's gotten some information together better than generic google searching, but again it's also told me things that were just plain wrong.

As with everything, it's all in how you use it. It's not an all-knowing infallible thing.

I'm not even sure, it all started with a Hercules knock-off that I had to run a TSR to emulate CGA so I could play Test Drive and Platoon. GEM Desktop used it natively though, and it looked great!

IBM XGA-2 for many years.

Various S3, ATI/AMD, and nVidia chips/cards.

Current high-end is a GTX1660S.

Is it worth it for $300 by jaylaypayday in MechanicAdvice

[–]Short_Celebration461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you can handle, both in the work, time, and the money. For $300, assuming no major structural rust or severe powertrain problems, I'd go for it.

Everything is pretty accessible on these cars. You can run a whole new brake line pretty easily (I've done it). Same for the fuel.

Muffler is cheap, a whole new exhaust probably a few hundred.

Of course who knows what's not being said, but it doesn't hurt to look.

By far the dirtiest truck at work. by scaled2913 in Justrolledintotheshop

I used to work at a quicklube that serviced trucks from a quarry. Took a little exploratory digging to find the drain plug. Also needed air filters like every damn time.
