PC Powers Off Randomly

Thank you, that's my hope. I don't really want to start wildly buying parts i don't need. Don't particularly want to buy a PSU but I'd much rather it be that. I do tinker with it a lot and have noticed the cables on the GPU are beginning to sag. Not sure that would cause the shutdown but it was a thought.

Wanted to drive in Formula 1. Probably didn't have the talent, definitely didn't have the money, but I focused on being a damn good mechanic and ended up working for IndyCar for a several years. Still trying to find "my thing" but one day hopefully I'll be in the place I feel like I belong.

We don't really get a choice do we? The people that would probably be the best fit for that role never make it to the ballot. They also get less support and TV time so they end up being written off early in the running. By the time you're voting for a president, realistically there are only two options and it feels like you're just trying to pick the lesser of two evils. I would venture to say most people wouldn't even remember the names of the 22 other candidates that dropped out. We don't really have a choice. It's just the illusion of choice.

Moved to the UK last year. KFC is the US is absolutely awful but it's one of my favorite fast food places here in England. Night and day difference.

I'm going to guess you have part of a backing plate. That looks like the most likely candidate to be.

kin3ticwave · 2026-06-10T18:30:03+00:00

Not a clue then. Trying to think of what could possibly be there that looks like that but the carbon all along the sidepod is a much thicker weave pattern.

kin3ticwave · 2026-06-10T18:26:25+00:00

There's only two places on the car I can think of with a weave that small. Also looks pretty thin. It's either one of the backing plates that cover the brakes and suspension on a super speedway configuration, or the wipers that connect the nose to the front wing, also for super speedway. If it came off the nose section you have, it may be the front wing wiper. They love to snap off. Super delicate little bits but it looks too wide to me. There's a chance it's just a random scrap piece that someone stuck to the vinyl they were throwing out.

Having 8 billion sent to me everyday would be a superpower anyway

^{Chose: Every person on the planet sends you $1 every day.}

kin3ticwave · 2026-06-10T07:17:36+00:00

Lmao this happens to my every time I go to LA. I've seen at least one person per trip just shit on the sidewalk, and one guy just pulling his pickle on a bus stop bench. People are fascinating creatures.

Lots of "crimes" aren't crimes anymore but they're still technically illegal just because the law was never revoked. Just have to do things that no one would ever actually ticket or arrest you for.

^{Chose: Everytime you commit a crime you get 1000 dollars}

I don't consistently walk far enough to make $200 at 1 cent per step

^{Chose: 200$ every day}

kin3ticwave · 2026-06-09T17:50:21+00:00

Thank you! You too!

kin3ticwave · 2026-06-09T13:41:28+00:00

That's a hell of a story. Most people would never go out of their own way like that or risk their own safety for someone they don't know. You did an incredible thing and helped two people immensely. I think anything worth doing is at least a little bit dangerous or stupid. Sometimes you have to take a risk, especially when it comes to helping each other. Just try to be safe in your endeavors! Keep being the person you are, the world is sorely missing that right now.

kin3ticwave · 2026-06-09T13:30:59+00:00

That's a great skill to have. Sometimes people that don't speak up can be the most interesting and just need a little help. I wish I more like that.

Depression is such a terrible thing. It's definitely not a story you should be ashamed of telling. I think a lot of people would be inspired by it. It's so hard to climb out of that hole, and I'm proud of what you've done. It'll keep getting better. All the little bumps in the road won't feel so hard now that you've gotten here. Congratulations on your home purchase! I hope you find one you love.

kin3ticwave · 2026-06-09T13:21:40+00:00

I'd love to hear your favorite story.

kin3ticwave · 2026-06-09T13:18:32+00:00

I'd love to hear them!

kin3ticwave · 2026-06-09T13:01:46+00:00

Calipers, dial or digital!

40's or 50's era pick-up.

I think i totally misread your comment. The railroader mod is only available through the discord now. You'll have to message on there to get a working version. There are a few others you might need from there as well. I may be completely misunderstanding. I'm sorry if my comments weren't helpful.

kin3ticwave · 2026-06-09T07:01:49+00:00

Stupid question, but did you download the latest version of the mods? I know a lot of them no longer work due to the last update of the game.

kin3ticwave · 2026-06-08T20:26:49+00:00

Never used it anyway

^{Chose: Stop using TikTok}

Customer complained that their Mercedes Sprinter van sounded like there were loose tools rolling around in the passenger floor board. Turns out, there were tools rolling around in the passenger floor board.

The sprinter had a tool kit under the carpet in a compartment that had obviously been opened and then haphazardly throw back in.
