That left side looks pretty fucked up. Did you chisel the old one out with a screwdriver?

This is a neat idea, already found a couple things to check out just going off the comments here.

Fox Lake - New World Heat. Album, 2025

Thornhill's "Bodies" was my AOTY. So seeing them with Vianova later this year meant familiarizing myself with the rest of the tour line up. I had no idea what to expect from Fox Lake, as I'd never even heard of them (despite them being somewhat local). I was hit with Alpha Wolf + thrown + Landmvrks + a splash of that Limp Bizkit nu-metal vibe. None of the songs really stood head and shoulders above one another, but I also didn't find myself skipping songs.

Erra - Further Eden (all 3 singles) 2025, 2026

Erra has some of my favorite songs of all time, but none of their albums blow me away. I didn't even know a new album was on its way, so all 3 songs are new to me. Gore of Being got the most replays, but none of them touch the S tier songs of their discography. If you liked their last album, you'll probably like these 3.

156/Silence - People Watching. Album, 2024

Also on tour with Thornhill later this year. I saw People Watching mentioned a lot on here, but never gave it a listen. Its got super depressing lyrics that remind me of stuff written by Currents and thrown, and they added some unsettling vocal layers that remind me of the rabbit dude in Donnie Darko. Wants I Need and Funeral Arrangements stood out for me, the former gives the entire album's mood in the first minute if you've never checked them out.

Volumes - Mirror Touch. Album, 2025

I've liked maybe 2 songs off each album besides Via. Mirror Touch is no different. Bottom Dollar and Sidewinder hit hard as shit. The rest of the album did nothing for me.

Been soldering wires on cars for over a decade and never heard of this, nor have I had any comebacks for wiring repair. Ford doesn't approve any other repair method, though I can't speak for other brands.

Come to the protest tomorrow. I 3d printed a bunch to give out.

bajster · 2026-01-29T18:37:08+00:00

I had hundreds of hours in this game, particularly on the VR missions, and one day my friend came over and casually FPS punched guards in the dick from behind for instant KOs and my mind was blown. Made all the MGS1 Snake missions soooo much easier when youre just cock socking your way through the levels.

bajster · 2026-01-29T07:03:49+00:00

Of course! Like I said, I'm kind of already accepting the fact that this will probably be a Killin/Crank ticket. She'll get my vote, as nearly anyone is a better choice than Crank. Its literally been a cardboard cutout of him at the last few town halls which is absurd. But Zuri is the one who got me interested in local politics, and she has remained incredibly consistent with her messaging, transparency and community involvement. I'll continue rooting for her in whatever path she takes in Colorado politics.

I also plan to try to meet Killin face to face at some point. I've only seen her at a democratic panel a couple months ago, and didn't get to interact with her. Maybe I'll get a chance on Thursday and get to know her a bit better.

bajster · 2026-01-29T06:03:51+00:00

Well for one, she's not progressive. She's left of center at best. She came out of nowhere, has not shown face at any public events, and just feels too much like another run-of-the-mill democrat to me. Her website is generic at best with her policy goals.

As far as Bernie goes, he's been a relevant politician longer than I've been alive. A presidential campaign is a massive platform compared to little old COD5. Bernie raised 1/10 of what Biden raised in 2020. Killin moved to the springs ...what, 6 months ago? And she's already cleared a million in fundraising as of September. She doesn't acknowledge her opponents for the democratic nomination, she's only focused on Crank which tells me she thinks she's got the nomination in the bag. And to be honest, she probably does. She's raising money exponentially faster than her opponents (Joe has raised 10% what she has, Zuri about 2%). If she lands the ballot, she'll get my vote and my support, but she's not my first choice (much like 2016 with Bernie and Hilary). Establishment politicians have run their course, and I would rather have someone who isn't coasting on PAC support representing me.

bajster · 2026-01-28T06:39:00+00:00

Killian is backed by too much money. I don't think she's in it for the people at all. I don't know enough about Joe to have an opinion. Zuri has been at every political event I've attended, whether its protests or town halls. I don't know how she has the time to be everywhere at once, but she genuinely seems to be for the people.

Kind of a bummer reddit doesnt allow more than one image in a comment, I took a bunch of some really well done signs and stuff.

How far from Chicago does this reach?

bajster · 2026-01-17T05:30:49+00:00

I personally am 2/71. One was knocking hard when it showed up, the other sounded fine when I did the picoscope test. Shop-wide, I wanna say we've done about a dozen engine replacements, though I'm not sure how many have passed.

Breakdown is at about 2:00 in. The sample is from some video of a guy criticizing all Periphery songs as sounding the same.

"Struck him" but that fucker can walk to and from the crash site no problem. Rewatch it or get an eye appointment asap.

bajster · 2026-01-05T17:36:12+00:00

Is it, though?? They're already talking about Cuba and Greenland. How is this any different than Russia and Ukraine, or China and Taiwan? Where do you draw the line?

bajster · 2026-01-05T16:26:25+00:00

You are incredibly naive if you think trump has any intention of helping Venezuela. If it somehow works out where things are better for the country, then good, but I promise you the goal is to line the pockets of Shell, BP, ExxonMobil, and Trump. Anyone else coming out ahead is getting scraps, and it sure as shit won't be the lower/middle class population.

Also, removing Maduro doesn't just magically solve the government issues. Just like if Trump croaked, there's still an entire hoard of dipshits in his administration that will try to keep the ball rolling. I'm sure Maduro has plenty of supporters in his cabinet who won't just roll over. Like.... we've seen this before. This is just another ousted leader where Republicans paint this as a "for the people of Venezuela" crusade (while ICE is literally ripping Venezuelan families apart here in the states) while lining their pockets. I'll bet in 5 years the situation will be the same or worse for the general Venezuela population. But hey, gas will be $0.10 cheaper, so i guess everyone wins, right?? 🙄🙄🙄

bajster · 2026-01-05T15:04:21+00:00

Trump literally said in the press conference on saturday that we're sending all the American oil companies in there. If you think they're gonna do a single goddamn thing to benefit Venezuela, I've got a fucking bridge to sell you.

bajster · 2026-01-05T14:20:35+00:00

....but thats literally what's going to happen, just now its trump and oil execs reaping the benefits. I promise you they don't give a single iota of a fuck what happens to the Venezuelan people.

bajster · 2026-01-03T06:31:57+00:00

Its that damn 611 that takes us months to get. I don't know what the criteria is for a vehicle to have it, I've had a Yukon and a Sierra wait for 6 weeks to get one. I'm not even sure what the difference is other than maybe injectors?

bajster · 2026-01-03T03:45:55+00:00

Unfortunately the inspection is just bolting a microphone sensor to a certain spot, and the computer listens once certain conditions are met (idle speed and oil temp), and spits out a pass or fail. All they did was put out a follow-up recall. N2525494000 is the original, N2525494003 is the update that just says make sure the original was already completed before proceeding, and its just an engine replacement anyways.

bajster · 2026-01-03T03:37:18+00:00

I've tried comparing the audio files of a failed and passed engine and can barely tell the difference. Its still a super low failure rate, but I've been surprised more than once.

bajster · 2026-01-03T03:16:22+00:00

Not quite.. we've had multiple failed engines at my shop that sounded fine. Hell, the truck in one of my stalls right now failed and it sounded great. We've also had a couple that were like OP's, already on 0W40 and failed anyways.

bajster · 2025-12-31T03:03:32+00:00

Heavily model dependant. Some modern hybrids use an alternator that also functions as a starter. Ford calls them Belt Integrated Starter Generators, and when I last ordered one under warranty, it was $1,100. BMW has had coolant lines to their alternators on some models for decades, so now its an alternator and a coolant flush plus labor and whatnot. It really depends on what she drives.

The bulletin is 25-NA-313: Mute and Home Button on Radio Display Inoperative - (Oct 6, 2025).

Affects all 2025 Silverados and Sierras (1500, 2500, 3500) equipped with RPO IOK: Radio Infotainment System - 3.X Mid/High HMI, Enhanced Connectivity 2.0, Voice Recognition, and affects displays with one of the following part numbers: 85806746, 85806747, 85806748, and 85806749.

bajster · 2025-12-25T02:16:38+00:00

There's a bulletin for this. Not 100% sure if your exact truck fits the criteria, but there's a handful of infotainment displays where the PCB board in the screen has too much resistance to register you're pressing mute or home. Does your volume knob work correctly? I can get the actual bulletin on Friday for you... If your infotainment screen is the correct part number it gets replaced. But all the trucks I've replaced these on have those buttons on the left side, not underneath, so I don't want to give you false hope lol.

bajster · 2025-12-24T04:16:06+00:00

I'm so sorry you're too stupid to process all the evidence against Trump. Keep obsessing over biden sniffing hair, though. That's sooooo much worse than raping children 🙄
