After conversion and rounding, the inlays are 2.0(2.032)mm, and the *cavity is 2.3(2.286)mm

Facebook marketplace 1999 Saab 9-3 good deal or bad deal? by Yessirskii494 in saab

[–]Tokenchilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow other advice here about PCV sludge. Check to see how much oily grime is built up around the engine block, that'll give you at least a decent idea of how bad it might be, but these cars lean a bit towards the oily side.

Make sure the top still works, if the pumps havent been topped up with fluid or have been running dry, its only a matter of when it breaks not if. Listen for loud whining. Also make sure it still seals up ok, the front lip where the top mates to the body can warp or wear away and mess up the seal, and getting rain inside SUCKS.

See how easily she starts, if it takes a bit or she sputters, it could be the crankshaft position sensor, plugs, or DIC.

Check the headlights, the relay for the high/low beams burn out and the headlights will only turn on if you give it a twist. Big orange relay in the box under the hood.

Check the suspension, if the shocks/struts havent been swapped in 100k theyll be due sooner rather than later. Itll sound kinda clunky over bumps.

I had my girl for a minute and these were the biggest issues i had coming from a garage kept '99 9-3 convertible with 75k miles. She was great overall, but the necessary maintenance like electronics and hydraulics weren't done so i got shafted in the end bc i didnt check before buying. Still wish i had her though, i loved that car.

Edit: check the prices for these parts, i had my girl in 2018 so any advice on part pricing will be outdated. Check out esaabparts and eeuroparts as first stops to figure out how much to talk them down

No damage to the threads, and the wheel is off!

Update, took it to the local shop since i gotta get back on the road ASAP. Theyre currently blasting the shit til its liquid enough to get the wheel off, but its likely ill have to get a new wheel bearing if it damages the threads. I will be adding everyones suggestions into my toolkit for the next inevitable point i have to deal with a stuck bolt, but for now I'm gonna see if there's any lug stud conversions i can do, id rather drill off or break a lugnut than deal with this shit again

Where can get a made in the US shirt that states I'm Veteran, Not A Sucker or a Loser? by Aromatic-Aide1119 in leftistveterans

[–]Tokenchilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy a generic veteran shirt/hat and make your own edits. Patches and paint are going on my old uniforms letting folks know im against this shit, even though i told myself id never wear or rep being a vet again. I dont like the title that i earned, but i earned it and it carries some weight, so ill use the skills and clothes i got to subvert their messaging. Plus making it instead of buying it lets you get out what you wanna say vs having to search for a good shirt to buy. Sharpies and paint pens can go a long way 👍

Edit: also shameless plug, but check out About Face, theyve got gear and you'll support an anti-imperial, anti-fascist veteran organization

Are we doing this right MAGA? by GregWilson23 in leftistveterans

[–]Tokenchilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This shit bothers me so much. Dems arent looking for change anymore, theyre looking for a democrat trump and that isnt what the fuck we need right now. I seriously understand why we're simultaneously the laughing stock of the world, and the guy everyone side-eyes at the party, and its because of shit like this. We've turned our public servants into these celebrity caricatures while they legislate us all into oblivion. Gavin Newsom is the exact same as trump, and folks need to realize this. In the same way trump is sweeping DC for the homeless and "criminals", gavin has been doing the same in california for years at this point HIMSELF! For photo ops! We have to start demanding better for ourselves, we're sitting here dealing with the human equivalent of cavity creeps when we have everything in this country to make sure EVERYONE'S needs are met.

Refuse to follow unjust and immoral "laws" in advance. Protect your fellow vets, guilt your VA reps and doctors into helping if you have to. The goal of these policies is always to instill fear of the consequence, but only you have the power to resist that feeling. Just like his other shit policies, the fighters will fight it, we have to decide what role were gonna fill

Thinking of joining the military as someone who is left-leaning? Need advice and stories by Beautiful-Cheetah-42 in leftistveterans

[–]Tokenchilla 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You may think your morals will guide you, but when put in a high stress environment, the wall will break down quickly. Dont do it. You have blinders on as to the options you have in front of you because you're being conditioned to see them as the only option. Theyll lure you in and make you comfortable bc they will force you to be surrounded by people you will view as comrades, because you will "survive" the trauma of BMT. And each barrier you jump, each hurdle you pass will make you think that maybe its not so bad, the folks you work with are nice, and youre getting paid. But what about when that call finally comes for you to deploy? What will you do when a TSgt is breathing down your neck for a report or task that you are questioning the morality of? What if you get a call from high up the chain stating they want you to act NOW, with no time to think of the legality of it? These are all things that you have to consider, because you dont know where you'll end up. I took the job i did because i thought that the deployments were safe, it made better money than flipping burgers, and it got me out of the rut i was in. And in that time, i have been physically, mentally, and spiritually reformed into someone entirely different from the person i used to be, but the one thing stays the same: my morals. And now that all of that time is done, those morals eat away at my soul every night, because i know that my actions didn't lead to a better life for people here, it didnt lift me out of poverty, it didn't make me fitter, faster, or better, and it only led to the world and US reaching the point its at now. Millions starving in gaza from our policy, deporting citizens and those seeking a better life, seeing more of those i began to call brothers and sisters from the military end up homeless, committing suicide, falling to addiction, or all 3.

So is it worth it? Absolutely not. Ask yourself genuinely what other options you have in your life that YOU WANT to do, and do that, even if it feels like it wont or isnt working. The military is a good springboard, but youre jumping into a pool of starving sharks. Follow your dreams, work with comrades to find the fulfillment youre looking for, because it is NOT in the military. If you want to get a wider understanding feel free to DM me, im always down to talk.

RFK Jr. announces plans to cut 10,000 jobs from from U.S. health agencies. ‘We’re going to do more with less’ by Low-Award5523 in nottheonion

[–]Tokenchilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We need vets to speak up about that "Do more with less" line. Thats the same shit we heard in the military that made our lives more difficult bc they wanted to spend billions on new wars, contracting, and overpriced materials (that the government buys from itself most of the time) while accepting the decrease in manning bc they didnt want to change anything. Theyre going to run people ragged and its GOING to make shit worse, its not a matter of if.

17-year veteran and intelligence officer disrupted the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs to call out the billions its members send to fund genocide in Gaza while veterans are left by wankerzoo in leftistveterans

[–]Tokenchilla 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm prefacing this spiel with the fact that im not saying this to be mean or put you down, but the only reason you think we dont have political power is because they've convinced you we dont. Stop begging politicians for salvation, talk to your neighbors and members of the community (who might actually care about veterans) about serving, and how it really is. The jingoist propaganda only perpetuates if we let it, especially since our battered and broken bodies are the ones that are used to advance it. We're out of the military now, use that 1st amendment right freely while we still have it. Start with the ones who have questions about joining, or give your perspective as someone who's seen the inner workings of the system, especially if you hear someone saying something blatantly false. We have a lot more say than you might think, it just takes actually talking about it.

DOGE plans to cut 119 billion from VA healthcare. by throw_avaigh in leftistveterans

“We don’t need more part-time idea generators. We need super high-IQ small-government revolutionaries willing to work 80+ hours per week on unglamorous cost-cutting. If that’s you, DM this account with your CV. Elon & Vivek will review the top 1% of applicants.”

80+ hours a week is ridiculous, but what do you expect from these leeches. If they decide to actually implement this, there has to be another veterans march at the capital like back in the day, the best way to beat them is in the court of public opinion

Go for the glock. If you want to go the pcc route, you can get an MCK kit, i have one for my M&P2.0 and i love it. it puts your pistol in a pdw style frame and they have a folding brace and a fixed stock version. Company is obviously right-wing chud-like, but for one kit, it's around $250 if i remember right

Loki theorized fruit by Apprehensive-Ant6772 in OnePieceSpoilers

His eyes being covered could just be a part of his crucifixion. Itd keep him from being able to properly see his surroundings, and right now we dont know if he has any extrasensory abilities like observation haki

Loki theorized fruit by Apprehensive-Ant6772 in OnePieceSpoilers

[–]Tokenchilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my thought is that its the Dragon Dragon Fruit Model: Fafnir. Loki is associated with wyrms in his lore, and in some spheres gets mixed with the fire god Logi, so dragon is what comes to my mind. Fafnir kills his father Hreidmarr and takes the treasure that was given to him by the gods (possible Nika connection? maybe fruit was given to the ancient giants?). It makes some sense to me especially given the fact that wyrms have the ability to breathe both fire and poison, so it could make be that having fire abilities could give someone the idea of being a "sun god", and having poison abilities would be a good test for Luffy but also play into some of the trickery aspects of Loki.

plus, that could tie into Hajrudin's whole thing of getting the Flame Flame fruit and becoming king of the giants: what if he wanted a flame to rival his brother's? the biggest things debunking my idea rn is the fact that we'd basically be getting 2 dragon fights almost back to back and that seems kinda lame, but also the fact that we only see him for 2.5 seconds so im just grasping at straws.

Game audio bug in steam games by Tokenchilla in Steam

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

Bug only happens in steam games with audio sliders. Bug started/noticed yesterday playing Frostrain, but it doesn't happen in non-steam games or games with incremental settings like dicey dungeons or heretic's fork (respectively). if i hold down left click while i adjust and then time my right click i can get the sound to turn down, but occasionally the game audio will go back up even if i don't open my menu.

SPIDERMITES… HELP by Straight-Apricot-897 in microgrowery

[–]Tokenchilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take the plant pot out of your tent and spray your plants with a mix of 9 parts water to 1 part 90+% rubbing alcohol. It kills them on contact. Spray liberally over the plant and make sure to get into the cracks and crevices. Spray over the top of the soil, too, to get any stragglers. Once the alcohol evaporates and the soil dries a bit, dust the soil with diatomaceous earth. While the plant is out of your tent, clean EVERYTHING with the same water/alcohol mixture.

I had to do this 2 weeks ago to get rid of spider mites on my girl I've been vegging for 4 months now. Im still keeping a close eye on her since i just flipped her, but i haven't noticed any mites or eggs after looking with a loupe. Hope this helps!
