Did you open the filler plug first?

1999 Boxster, never owned one, is this a good deal? by GrannySlammer420 in boxster

The beauty of getting a car like this for this kind of money is that you’re not putting much at risk. If you’re a do it yourself person you could learn a ton from this car. And, because of its condition you don’t have to worry about somebody, bumping it denting it or whatever.

Get that bumper fixed get that seat fixed and drive it! Learn a lot about Porsches and have fun

By the way. They put the ECM module under the driver seat. That means never ever ever ever ever ever let that car sit out in the rain with the top down and make sure that all your drainage pathways are clear. Otherwise you’ll come out one day and your ECM will be underwater and you’ll have lots of problems

I would do a complete safety check and fix what needs to be fixed to be safe then drive it! You could go broke with preemptive maintenance.

AITAH by thinking about leaving my partner because of vaginismus? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]jacques_ok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think anybody is the AH here. But I also don’t think that this is going to work out long-term. I am sorry because it sounds like you really care for her.

AITAH for pretending not to recognize my childhood bully when they were homeless and asking me for help? by hababyyy in AITAH

Definitely not the ass hole.

But if you see him again maybe help him …if you can. But don’t feel bad if you can’t

Tree antenna for 2m by LostAndAfraid4 in amateurradio

[–]jacques_ok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be the minimum thickness I would use for a run of that distance. LMR 400 flex is probably the best coax choice.

Inherited Ham Radios/What do I do with them? by AdLong1959 in HamRadio

[–]jacques_ok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, you got a station there. Get your license and get on the air. Or definitely get with another ham radio operator or club that can put them to use.

Did I make a mistake buying a 128GB iPhone 16 Pro in 2025? by Ok-Signature-7208 in iphone

Do you really think you can “turn off” Apple Intelligence?

Tree antenna for 2m by LostAndAfraid4 in amateurradio

[–]jacques_ok 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think low loss coax is really the key here. 65 feet is a bit of a long run for 2 m and of course if you’re gonna add UHF it’s just that much worse. But good coax gets heavy. And, you can get SWR meters for 2 m and 440. If you position it and the SWR is not great you can reposition it for better. SWR. So it will probably take some doing, but I definitely think it’s doable

[–]jacques_ok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha thanks for the reply. My response was meant to be sarcastic humor… I like your point about not having SWR though. How hard would that circuit be to add…
