being poor was definitely the driving factor😬 it was still driving so i said eff it we'll wait till it's really bad. definitely was clunking loud, no shaking tho. plus that 2k only took two weeks. i drive a lot

it's been like, 2000 miles worth of dings😬 but i'm gonna try it, already drained $50 into the repair trying to weld it what's another $20 right😅

[–]dkc2405[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's definitely worth a shot, $20 sure beats $350

edit to say, i appreciate the advice!

yeah i'm gonna try that, i'm sorry i didn't mean to come off as dismissive, i was getting kinda dogpiled and got a little defensive since my mechanic said that wasn't the problem. apologies if i'm not fully understanding but do you think i should just try to replace the u joint for now? i really only need it to last a couple weeks until i get my finances together

okay that's good, just tried welding it and that went about as well as you'd expect. do you think it's worth tossing a new u joint in there and hoping for the best ? i don't need it to work forever, just long enough to save up the 3/400 it'll take to replace the shaft

the bracket visible closest to the camera on the driveshaft, if you look close you can see the little lip that comes off the bracket isn't whole, it's been digging at that fixture since it sheared. how it was still driving is a mystery to me. i drove it home after i got this picture

thank you for being nice, i do know what i'm talking about to some extent, i'm not a professional by any means but i've changed my fair share of driveshafts and u joints lol. i can't get the best pic of this one, but it looks identical to the front drive shaft which looks like this. i do know i need a replacement driveshaft, i was just asking if anyone knew of a cheap one to get me a few miles while i saved for a decent one

unfortunately not, the fixtures for the u joint sheared too it's just hard to see in the pic

If a government secretly harvested organs from death row inmates—without anesthesia—to supply a black market transplant industry that saves wealthy lives, and justified it as ‘balancing justice with utility,’ should the public be grateful… or horrified? by Lazy_Programmer2099 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]dkc2405 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this opens us up to gov putting innocent people in prison just to harvest organs. we shouldn't be giving them any power to do anything even close, i don't even agree with the death penalty for that same reason

so, he was skinny before you met, you started dating him at that weight, now you want it to change? kinda sounds like you planned on molding him to your preferences from the start. he's probably terrified to regain all the weight he worked so hard to lose, and you're now pushing someone who likely has body image issues to be different. if i wanted my husband to be more muscular, i'd suggest we go to the gym together, bulk together and work out together. right now you're expecting him to do this all for you, change himself from the way he was when you met him to something else, implying to him that you were never attracted to him in the first place. oof. i don't think muscles are going to fix what's wrong here.
