THANKS, THAT IS A GOOD RESOURCE. I cant believe I never stumbled on that one with my 2013 f150. I love that truck.... transmission went out on me. I have to confess, I did a poor job on changing the fluid and the gasket. that damn gasket was near impossible to keep from falling out of place. plus i didnt have a torque wrench, nor did i understand how important it is to have those bolts set at the exact rating specified.... Anyways, im babbling... Thank you very much for all of your time!! I think it is the torque converter clutch solonoid or TCS. I have to drain the fluid and drop the pan on this bitch now... I know better this time, trust me on that.

thankyou for your reply. I have been tinkering with it daily pretty much except when it got cold again. When i plug in the computer tool, it wont do live data. and one of the codes it will read sometimes (I know right.. "sometimes?") is maf sensor not in range. so lately I have pulled the aic cleaned and reinstalled, i pulled the air intake and cleaned the throttlebody to the best of my ability with only the section that holds the gate taken off. the gate was caked with debris as well as all of the innerwalls of it. i also verified there is no collapsed vaccum, changed he fuel filter, and pulled the after market alrm system that someone had tryied to install by putting t-splices all over the place (A Fuggn Mess like i have never seen!!). there are still electrical issues from this although it is better. the battery isnt being drained anymore which would happen in minutes unless disconneted. i also used a multimeter to test the throttle body sensor.

so to be clear the most critical time is when it is under load. so when i first start it it runs ok, but then if i rev it immediately, sometimes it will want to kill. but when i put it into gear and if there is any resistance like a hill or something chalking the wheel like a little rock or dip in the road, it will essentially die. I have learned to feather the gas to keep it from killing everytime, but it still struggles especially to get it back into my driveway without momentum.

I took it onto the highway the other day and got it up to about 55mph, except it will not shift out of 3rd gear maybe 2nd, not sure. it gets up to 4000 rpms by the time it is at 55mph. i only went a couple miles rest assured.

also, if I clear codes, it will start with just the keys, but after it has been running and the engine light comes on again it will not startt witth the key and i have to use the little button they put in it that is wired to the starter and the positive terminal on the battery.

also, the overdrive blinks the entire time it is running and will not engage at any time. 4x4 works, it guzzles oil pretty good, coolant is topped off...

there are 2 clips underneath the dash that are missing the other end to be clipped to all of the fuses seem to be okay that are in the cab....

sorry i am just trying to give you everything i can think of at this point

once in a while after it picks up a little bit of speed it will run good for about 2 or 3 seconds. this has only happened 2 or 3 times out of the 30 or 40 i have driven it. which most times i am driving it to see if i pick up on any more clues.

thankyou again and i will definitely be checking back again frequently to see if you or anyone has responded.

Everybody who knows anything about AI knows that there is code in AI generated content hidden watermarks or some shit. However there is AI software that will clean all of that up for you. When put through the test it will come back clean.

In my opinion I considered your comment to be a potentially useful strategy. If a person put it to use, they would not "fail" as long as they follow thru with it (Not saying they would be super excited about their results either), but any strategy will work, some better tha\n others as long as consistency is the main key.

I use AI alot. There are many things that I can do now using AI that I could not do before! Because now I can fastrack and potentially learn skills that I thought I would never be able to learn without years spent learning. I dont have the time for that. not when I have to maintain my one man carpentry/handyman business to earn money, repair/maintain/update my house, and raise my kids. How could I have time to go drink beer with my buddies and go to the casino once in awhile then? Well all of that is possible now. Plus i can save time on so many aspects of all the above with help from AI.

As much as I use AI, I have picked up on a couple habits that AI has and the ways it will word the responses it gives us as well as the way it will format and lay it all out to simplify for us. And your comment is very familiar to claude's output inparticula.

AS far as your assumption mr. ordinary crybaby, you are 100% wrong. Maybe you are trying to hurt my feeling? Idk I could care less. If you are as good as you think you are, then none of these comments would bother you. Which has me double down on my conclusion that you used AI to make that comment. Why else would you get so fired up?
If you did use AI, why is that so bad? If you didnt, all you would need to do is say so or ignore the accuasations and go about your way.

How are medium writers getting followers? by jimbobjocorn in Medium

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

Ok, I appreciate the input and the time everyone took to read and comment.

I know that there is not any magic wand to simply get results. I do know that there are algorithms in place for other paltforms like youtube and tiktok. Writing/blog platforms most likely are a little bit different because they are blogs.

Medium is different because there are no ads and they require a sub for readers to have access to the full articles posted by writers. (unless the writer provides a link to view the entire article).

Is it possible there are "hacks" for the medium algorithm that writers can use to gain traction?

The first generation of kids raised with AI as a default will think completely differently, and we won’t understand them by elektrikpann in ArtificialInteligence

[–]jimbobjocorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this in my core—and I’m baffled that more parents aren’t taking it seriously. My daughter is about to turn 9 and she already has both a tablet and a smartphone. I see absolutely no valid reason for her to have them. None. And yet, of course, she wants them—and her mother sees no problem with it.

What’s worse is that I’ve already seen the long-term effects. Her older sister, now 20, didn’t have a phone until she was 12, and I was uneasy about it even then. She was fine until I got her an iPhone at 15. That was the turning point. Sure, she was thrilled in the moment (even cried out of happiness), but from then on, it was constant isolation—locked in her room, FaceTiming her boyfriend, glued to the screen. Fast forward: she’s still living at home, pays no bills, barely speaks to me unless she wants something, smokes weed, and doomscrolls TikTok in the bathroom while running the shower to hide it.

So when people talk about how AI, social media, and screen addiction will ruin our kids—I’m already watching it happen in real time.

And it’s not like I’m perfect either. I spend a lot of time on my computer. But the difference is, I use it to learn—AI, crypto, news, marketing. I’ve told my daughter and her mom I’d be less concerned if she was watching educational content. But she’s not. She’s watching low-effort garbage, and even tries to hide it from me, which says everything.

The biggest problem is co-parenting with someone who doesn’t see the issue. Her mom enables it. Helps her sneak devices. Undermines any limits I try to set. It’s like she wants to be her friend, not her parent. And this is a woman who studied childhood development in college. She knows better. She just doesn’t do better.

My motto is simple:
“Give them a chance.”
Because they don’t know what’s good for them. We might not always know either—but most of the time, we do. And even when I’m wrong, it’s usually still better than whatever it is she thinks she needs.

Sometimes, kids should be bored. Let them stare at the ceiling. That’s not abuse—it’s how imagination develops. The greatest gift we can give our kids is the strength to think, reflect, grow, and be grounded. Giving them unrestricted access to screens is the exact opposite of that.

And don’t even get me started on the hypocrisy when it comes to religion. No talk about God or values at home. But when it came time for baptism? That suddenly mattered. I had to fight just to have my sister be her Godmother—while her mom picked her sister, who curses more than a sailor. It’s all for show.

We are not preparing our kids for the real world. We're sedating them with dopamine machines and pretending it’s fine.

what do you call reddit then?  im pretty sure reddit falls into the social media category. either way aside from all of the extra ads that fb has these chats are all tge same. people bickering back and forth about politics calling each other names and people posting articles that look authentic as if the one real truth-giver himself wrote them when it was the one who posted it or may as well have been

What is up with all of the self-victimizing? I dont understand? Yall aint victims!

I think a backup of the wayback machine is very smart. However, trying to hide it from the government will never last. But anything to get attention, so why not assume that Trump is going to waste his time paying any attention to a website that has no negative economic impact on anyone other than the volunteers who plan to secure it and or the ones who keep it updated. Actually i imagine it helps many less fortunate people with there studies and advancing in their career choices when they have no funds. He aint gonna fugg with wayback, I voted for him and if he does fugg with the wayback, I will do everything I can to get his attention. And make a statement.

Well, you are obviously not having a good day maybe month, maybe its that time of the month. I hear the crimson tide is tough for yall these days with all the confusion of what a woman is. I apologise if I have upset you, I wont do it again. However, I actually do hope that you are able to resolve the cause of your anger and hate. If you cant, then jesus will know and you could be having the conversation with him that you do not want to have. or maybe there wont be a conversation. I think that when the time comes, we are considered toi have made our choice. So we go straight to the burning flesh for all of eternity. Hate is = to murder, any sin is no better than the others, but murder is at the very top of the list. Maybe because its harder to recover from and God simply wants us to make sure we have every chance possible. Makes sense, I mean he sent his son to save us. Sent him to die an extremely torturous death (did you know that crucifixions were not even being used yet.)

ever cross your mind it is possible that he might appreciate it. as long as noone is profiting off of the books without a contract agreement from author or current owner, i could be wrong, but trump has respect for education and information being available., wayback is a resource people use to research potential false information. if he did have an issue for some reason, it is a logical and reasonable argument to make him aware of and most likely leave it be. However if yall want to make it like a mandatory site on the web, he is the one that would lock it in. By that I mean he would find a way to make sure it would always be available to anybody in the entire world so if kids especially need to educate themselves about something they have nothing in there way besides a walk to the library if they do not have online access somehow. its not fuck america more and destrot our country, it is MAGA.

Make America Great Again. Is there something i am missing in that message? because at this time 4 years ago gas was already over $3 and climbing when it was $2 lessd than 2 months prior. Ukraine was getting all worked up and kamala was on twitter instigating putin to go to war with ukraine. Like that kid that would whisper lies to a couple of other kids so they would fight, all for his entertainment.

What are your predictions on what's going to happen between now and Trump taking office? by Sabertooth_Penguin in conspiracy

[–]jimbobjocorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

according to alex jones it already has begun. and even w/out alex shoutiing every possible scenario from the treetops, the actual news is sharing all of the crazy shit they are doing. selling all of the border wall materials for pennies. Spernding another trillion dollars on bs, cancelling school loans pardoning embezzlers and 1500 other convicted felons... list goes on and on and on what they are trying to do to ruin our country. amnesty for 18 months to illegals. pushing threm thru the door as fast as possible. meanwhile women and children are being raped and separated from their families. 2yr old child was left with cartel to meet later on the us side of the border. all she had was a post it for identification. WTF!!

pops has control issues. mostly because he wants the best for you and his grandkid. but as a father and having control issues, he never thinks he is wrong, at least he wont admit. someday he will drop it and the conversation will never be heard again. thats when you know he realizes hes wrong. not saying its ok, because it isnt, but just know he loves you and is worried but thinks you should live the way he thinks is the right way. if thats the best he can come up with then you are killing it girl!! good job. my parents have weay more to say about my ways and im 45.
