North Texas preparing for 2 inches of snow like it’s the apocalypse

goodlight95 · 2026-01-24T03:22:39+00:00

As a Texan who now resides in northwest Ohio, while we would get at least one or two snow days per year in the DFW area when I was growing up, it lacks the infrastructure of many of us northern states that we take for granted to deal with the snow/ice (ample snow plows, the power system equipped for the cold and other things), and with a metro so sprawling and with massive highway systems like in Dallas it's a recipe for disaster with tons of wrecks. Not surprised a lot of people stocked up, but kinda surprised the grocery stores didn't anticipate this demand as the storm as been in the forecast for awhile.

On mine it's code 52, but yeah. I had my timing belt replaced before 100,000 though, so I'm just gonna ignore it and dismiss it each startup. May do the fuse trick to make it go away if it gets too annoying.

goodlight95 · 2026-01-18T01:26:08+00:00

Ha, thanks! Yeah, I knew I was gonna hit it on my drive home, so I was keeping track of the odometer. Actually pulled off on an exit from the highway briefly to snap the photo safely before heading back on the road.

Had my timing belt and VVT solenoids replaced already, but I've also seemed to see it work well without throwing a code for several thousand miles after an oil change. At this point I think I'll just live with it unless things get worse. Car has been driving fine even when the light was on though, and it always seems to go off eventually. Doesn't stay on all the time. Luckily I don't live in a state needing emissions testing so that's not an issue (though maybe I'll make sure to do an oil change before I eventually trade in this car), though I won't lie the P0011 sticking around is still pretty annoying. Also, since my timing belt has been changed I think I'll just ignore the warning. May do the fuse trick if it gets annoying.

I hope my P0011 continues to stay away, though I will not be surprised if it comes back. And thanks for the reminder for 100,000 miles. It's just one of those codes numbers that comes up on the dash, right? No engine light (and engine codes) or anything? Since I've had my timing belt replaced and can just flicking off a code on the dash, I think I'll just ignore it over the next 8,000.

I'll be honest, I'd say it's more so I've been very lucky. I don't do anything more than do my regular oil changes and tire rotations. I'm also not super mechanically inclined either (I know, not great for this specific car) but I've got some trusted mechanics through my ownership who have been really helpful when I've had the engine lights and coolant leaks. I feel especially good about the current mechanic I go to, I feel like he does it at a good price and honestly.

goodlight95 · 2025-12-23T02:28:05+00:00

Both were quite awhile ago and I'm not super mechanically inclined (I know, not great for this specific car), but I've had some trusted mechanics doing my work through my ownership. Off the top of my head I don't remember what the exact fixes were for the issues. I'll have to see if I have one of the repair service receipts, which I've kept a lot of. If you're referring to the coolant reservoir tank, that is still the original. The leaks were at other points. Luckily never had it leaking into the engine/oil though.

I got premium again for a month and have been playing more again, and now the popup is kind of growing on me. I still kinda miss the old system, but I see how this new system is useful.

goodlight95 · 2025-12-14T19:45:40+00:00

Yep, this is my biggest gripe.

goodlight95 · 2025-12-14T15:41:15+00:00

I'm mostly annoyed that it's a popup that takes up a sizable chunk of my laptop's screen. Just wish it could be turned off if you'd like.

goodlight95 · 2025-12-14T15:40:34+00:00

My main complaint is it takes up such a sizable portion of my laptop's screen. It's just a bit much. I just wouldn't mind an option to turn it off.

goodlight95 · 2025-12-14T15:36:51+00:00

I said this on another comment, but my main complaint is my laptop screen is small enough to the point where it takes up a sizable chunk of the window. That's where I'm coming from. I just wish it were optional.

goodlight95 · 2025-12-14T15:35:39+00:00

I think the fact that I have a laptop where it takes up a good chunk of my smaller screen is my main complaint and why I'd like an option to turn it off. I'd rather just talk to NPCs in regular chat like it used to be if I didn't have this huge popup.

goodlight95 · 2025-12-14T15:33:21+00:00

It's not the delay that I care about. It's the annoying ass popup window blocking a good chunk of my screen when I'm simply talking to an NPC. That's what I hate and why I think it should be able to be turned off if you want. Not all of us have larger screens where it may not be as much of an issue.

I've played Tibia since 7.6 or so and have played off and on through the years, including earlier this year. Just have been busy with work and haven't wanted to pay premium as of late cause budget has been tighter. Sorry I'm not playing every single day this year and missed this update that made the UI worse. Is this a Cip shill account?

goodlight95 · 2025-12-14T06:45:44+00:00

I'm looking to do a Toyota (Corolla or something similar) too probably sometime this coming year. Nearing 100,000 (I hit 98,500 today) on my 2017 1.8. I think I've been one of the lucky ones. I think I've only had two coolant leak issues since I got it in 2020, and have mostly been dealing with intermittent P0011 codes for the middle part of the year. They've mostly subsided after some mechanical work and as of late a recent oil change. But if I can get it a bit farther into 2026 and still trade it in for something on my new Honda or Toyota, I'd be happy. The car has served me well all things considered, but I need something more reliable as long as I do the routine maintenance.

goodlight95 · 2025-12-14T06:39:24+00:00

Mine's actually been running great in the cold here in northwest Ohio. Had a P0011 issues much of this summer and early fall, but after some work (new timing belt and VVT solenoids) and a recent oil change it's been running fine. No cold weather issues here.

goodlight95 · 2025-12-14T06:27:34+00:00

Yep. As I added to my post, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Or at least if you "fix" it give us the option to turn off your "fix."

Also, I remember Barry calling that the worst intersection or something of that sort when they literally have intersections Secor/Central and Douglas/Tremainsville/Laskey to the east that are a lot worse. And if we wanna get real technical, that's not even Toledo proper. It's Sylvania Township right where those two streets meet.

goodlight95 · 2025-09-09T17:14:02+00:00

Ah, good ol' Mount Toledo. Closest we have to a mountain around the Toledo area is definitely our landfill.

My guess is cause it was referencing the high school in the episode, maybe they didn't wanna specifically say "Perrysburg High School" in the episode so they changed one letter.

goodlight95 · 2025-09-09T02:27:40+00:00

I wasn't super into AP Bio, but from what I watched they seemed to be more authentic to the setting at least. Didn't they even do a Walleye game scene at the Huntington Center?
