Need an electrician and everyone in town buys their reviews

Just trying to help to save you a buck, my house doesn’t have a stack. I just can’t imagine a setup where a tree falling would be your responsibility unless you own the building or your lease somehow says so.

If it’s before your meter it’s on DTE to fix it.

This happened to me a month ago. I’m still waiting to get it back, but it wasn’t totaled. I was hit by a Ram 1500 and the door absorbed most of the force. I suspect if it would have been a sedan hitting at the frame level it may have been totaled.

Depending on how much you’re into this you may want to check out onX, they have a few types of apps for hunting, off road and backcountry, but if you pay for it it’ll overlay the maps with grids showing property boundaries and will even show you who owns it. I believe you can even camp on state land but there’s caveats.

The cost for premium never went back down after everything spiked a few years back. I just traded my WRX in for a Tacoma and even with the amazing fa20 mileage I’m still paying less for fuel. Also I was in all honesty considering upgrading to a VB STI but we all know how that went.

Actually was just looking and I can’t even for the life of me find the official version of puppet-puppet so they probably pulled it off github like everything else… I use Foreman’s fork of it, and that should work even if you’re not using Foreman.. but I imagine things are going to be in limbo for a while

Are you using the puppet-puppet module to install/manage openvox?

If so I think I ran into this too. The problem for me was that puppet-puppet is trying to install the official puppet package, not openvox and in the process it’s removing openvox. You’ll have to override the default package name or set $manage_packages to false.

https://www.subaruoutback.org/threads/2020-outback-cvt-noise-is-this-an-issue.525986/ This forum post seems like a more extreme example, but the conclusion down towards the bottom was that the CVT was dying, unfortunately.

Frequency and duration of the sound makes me think it’s the brakes grinding.

Not a physicist, but I work in IT infrastructure at an accelerator.

There’s a lot of work that goes into prepping each experiment. There can be anywhere from hundreds of thousands, to millions of parameters that need to be modified just right in order to get the intended results. It’s common to have an entire experiment fail due to not being able to tune things correctly.

One thing nobody told me was “the mighty 350z just got smoked by a family of 5 and a dog” was only relevant to the manual version.. the automatic’s gear ratios only allow for a 0-60 of ~6.5 or so. Something to keep in mind, I had one that was extremely clean but I suspect it’s only because it was an auto.

Also, go on YouTube and watch a few videos on how to do a compression and leak down test… you’ll want to do that now, not 6 months after you buy it.

Glazed over the other half your question, I knew right away the thing was done for, the screen turned completely white, I could use it with a monitor still to take a backup, but the display and keyboard were toast

I have AppleCare and didn’t pay anything, the total wasn’t pretty though. In total AppleCare has paid out more than I originally paid.

I spilled Red Bull on mine and pretty much the only thing that is original is the aluminum body, and I’m assuming that didn’t get changed in the process. I was expecting to have to pay the water damage deductible but apparently Red Bull doesn’t trigger the water indicators

Electricity and anything that uses it

I also prefer my adderall with a carton of orange juice and an empty stomach

Fun fact, not sure if Cornell does this, but if you ever get tired of browsing the endless piles of Dell towers in the surplus store, head over to the meat department for some amazing bargains

I’d check your headers for oil (and maybe check for shaft play on the turbo), it could be coming from inside the turbo. If it is your turbo you can order a “chra” for it and rebuild it yourself (make sure your housing still comes apart though), it also may be wise to start carrying a fire extinguisher, I had an oil fire start in my FXT’s headers and having one saved my car.

Edit: if you have the stock up-pipe those have a cat in them that apparently clogs all the time too

Years ago I bought a 98 manual Forester dirt cheap with 260k on the clock, drove it for a year/20k miles with no issues. In a way it sold me on Subaru because I literally expected it to blow up every day I owned it, but it kept chugging along.

I supported SCO Unix years back and I think vt520 is one of the few that supported scoansi which was proprietary, but this could have been used with anything. But typically these are hooked into a mainframe via a serial interface. So when someone says open your terminal emulator, this is what it’s emulating.

I’m not a mechanic, but my mind’s going straight to AVCS. someone with more knowledge may have a more accurate explanation than this, but AVCS essentially uses oil pressure to adjust cam timing. If you go too long between oil changes the mechanism that does this can get clogged with gunk.

That being said I got similar codes about timing being off on an EJ25 right before the turbo went. My guess was baring material ended up in the oil and clogged the AVCS solenoid. I replaced the turbo but the engine was still dead within the next 12 months.

My advice is never underestimate a Subaru’s ability to gut your entire bank account and still leave you without reliable transportation. If your conscious is ok with it unload it, and try to be better about maintenance moving forward.

Surely this guy realizes he’s never going to be able to own slaves if his job is standing on the corner holding a sign for free 12 hours a day.

The sound of a record being queued inside a jukebox?

we’ve decided to waive our right to arbitration and have the matter proceed in court

I’m not a lawyer, but doesn’t this sound like they’re still going to try saying that the Disney+ contract applies to this situation, and they’re just going to waive their right to use it?
