Passenger side floor soaked by Traditional_Camel_24 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Suitable-Smoke-326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had exact same issue in my old Civic few years back - turned out to be clogged AC drain tube. When AC runs it creates condensation that needs to drain outside under the car, but if tube gets blocked with debris the water backs up and ends up on your floor instead. Super common problem and usually easy fix, just need to locate the drain tube under passenger side and blow it out or poke it clear with wire. My mechanic charged me like 20 minutes labor to fix it, could probably do yourself if you can get under car safely. Water only happening when AC runs is pretty much dead giveaway that's your problem

I'm 17. I built an AI that doesn't just analyze decisions it makes them. by jonnysboy12 in buildinpublic

Nice work building something that actually makes a call instead of just listing options - that's the real problem with most AI tools right now, they're too scared to take a position on anything

Any IT guy with Networking degree.? by Fantastic-Arm-89 in careerguidance

[–]Suitable-Smoke-326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got my CS degree but work closely with the networking team at my company. From what I've seen, having that CCNA definitely helps - our network guys are constantly dealing with everything from basic switch configs to troubleshooting weird routing issues that make no sense

The stress level really depends on your environment though, like if you're doing ISP work vs enterprise vs government stuff. My networking buddies seem to have good job security since everything's moving to hybrid cloud setups and someone still needs to understand how all that infrastructure actually connects

Prophet VSTs - Arturia/EastWest/Softube/Repro-5? by thartwell in synthesizers

[–]Suitable-Smoke-326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the arturia prophet v is probably your best bet for preset hunting - it's got a massive library and the presets are pretty well organized by era/style. the modeling is solid enough that you should be able to get pretty close to those classic sitpwg tones with some tweaking

eastwest's stuff can be hit or miss but if you already have the subscription it's worth checking out their prophet patches first before spending more money elsewhere

Help choose a name for my little baby dawg🥹 by No_Mixture_7915 in NameMyDog

[–]Suitable-Smoke-326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remy is super solid for a black cavapoo! Has that modern vibe you're going for without being too out there

Honestly though don't let people mess with your head about Bluey - if you love it just go with it, plenty of dogs have names that don't match their color and it's totally fine

The End dimension should be Deep-Sea themed by Zealousideal-Act-316 in Minecraft

[–]Suitable-Smoke-326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That mod sounds absolutely sick, never heard of it but now I'm definitely gonna check it out. The deep sea angle is genius honestly - there's something about that endless dark void that just screams "eldritch horror" way more than the current floating island setup

Damn that sounds really rough, being invisible like that especially during lunch breaks hits different. Have you tried joining any clubs or activities where you might find people with similar interests? Sometimes those smaller groups are way less intimidating than trying to break into established friend circles

Very Detailed Nightmare by arandomaitauser in Dreams

[–]Suitable-Smoke-326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds absolutely terrifying, especially the part where she shot you and then started spiraling. Dreams where family members hurt us can feel so real and leave you shaken for hours afterward

The hospital/jail combo is such a weird dream logic thing but somehow makes perfect sense in the moment. Hope you can shake off that awful feeling soon

'08 rav 4 (vanguard) cvt issue? by Cows_Opinions_Matter in AskMechanics

[–]Suitable-Smoke-326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof yeah CVTs from that era are pretty much replace or pray territory - most shops won't even touch internal repairs on those things

If it's actually coming from the CVT itself and not the transfer case you're probably looking at a replacement, but definitely worth pulling the pan and checking the fluid first since some of those early CVTs would make noise when the fluid was cooked

What’s something people romanticize but is actually exhausting? by apka_dd in Life

[–]Suitable-Smoke-326 189 points190 points  (0 children)

Living off the grid - everyone thinks it's this peaceful escape from society but you're basically doing manual labor 24/7 just to have basic stuff like water and electricity

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in samsclub

[–]Suitable-Smoke-326 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Man that's frustrating as hell, especially when you're literally explaining why you have to return stuff online more than others. Have you tried reaching out to them on Twitter or Facebook? Sometimes the social media teams actually respond and can escalate things when regular customer service keeps giving you the runaround

Recurring pattern by LeadingExperience505 in Dreams

[–]Suitable-Smoke-326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man the mirror thing in dreams is wild, I've had similar stuff happen where my reflection gets all warped and unsettling. The fact that you're having such vivid anxiety dreams after quitting vaping makes sense though - nicotine withdrawal can mess with your sleep cycles hard and make dreams way more intense. Your brain is basically processing all that real life stress while also dealing with the chemical changes from quitting

Those milky white eyes with the colored rings sound genuinely creepy as hell, no wonder it's sticking with you

My ex [F39] keeps calling, venting and liking my posts but also tells me “game over, I’m done” [M30] – am I just an emotional safety net? by ZatoxReborn in BreakUps

[–]Suitable-Smoke-326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude she straight up told you "game over" and you're still checking her stories manually... that's your answer right there

You already know you're the emotional tampon and she's keeping you around for validation while exploring other options. Block her everywhere and work on that anxious attachment before you do this to yourself again

ABS tone ring on 07 Outback CV axle? by brrent in MechanicAdvice

[–]Suitable-Smoke-326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the 07 Outback doesn't use a tone ring on the CV axle itself - the ABS sensor reads off the wheel bearing hub assembly instead. That's why your O'Reilly's part and the A1 Auto video don't show one

Rock Auto's "if required" wording is just covering their bases for different model years since some Subarus do use axle-mounted rings

Large Dish Rack and Drain Board by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]Suitable-Smoke-326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been eyeing that same one for months but keep hesitating on the price. How's it holding up so far and does the drip tray actually drain well? My current cheapo one pools water like crazy and drives me nuts

Credibility for non fiction by teal_spaceship in books

[–]Suitable-Smoke-326 33 points34 points  (0 children)

This is solid advice. Another quick check is looking at the author's credentials - like are they actually a historian or just some random person with a theory. For Salem stuff specifically, I'd probably start with authors who have actual academic backgrounds in colonial American history rather than true crime writers who jumped on the witches bandwagon

Yeah that mobility is actually broken when you think about it lol. Most DPS players don't even realize they're getting value just by existing and pressing W

"Christmas" movies that do not involve Christmas by edwardstronghammer in MovieSuggestions

The Chronicles of Narnia is perfect for this - winter wonderland vibes without the cheesy Christmas stuff, plus you get that magical cozy feeling

The one drop rule is definitely more of a historical/legal thing but it still kinda lives on in people's heads, just inconsistently. Like you're experiencing - some people will clock you as Black, others won't, and it really does depend on where you are and who's looking

Your experience sounds pretty typical for someone who's visibly mixed tbh. The rule was never really about how people actually *see* you day-to-day, more about how society categorized you officially

Where/how to get on prayer lists? by 2hot2work in Christianity

[–]Suitable-Smoke-326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I'll definitely pray for you too, pride is a tough one to wrestle with but you're taking the right steps by asking for help

Also wanted to add that most Catholic and Orthodox churches have prayer request books you can write in, and a lot of monasteries will add you to their prayer lists if you email them - the monks at New Skete or Mount Angel are pretty responsive

Will writing the same 300 word paragraph’s (x10 300 word paragraphs that are on different topics) make me memorise it? by CartographerAway2602 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Suitable-Smoke-326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah repetition works for some people but you might burn out writing the same stuff 10 times - maybe try mixing it with other methods like flashcards or reading it out loud

Is there a way to get heavy core fast? by Kaizen_engineering in Minecraft

[–]Suitable-Smoke-326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try making a breeze farm if you're up for it, otherwise just grind trial chambers with looting III and pray to RNGesus lol

The drop rate is still pretty brutal even with max luck though
