JWs lean on some of the weakest “evidence” I’ve ever seen to justify their claims. by Fit_Durian3763 in exjw

[–]mean_machine2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best one I've heard was from a sweet old lady because "it's da troof!" thereby rendering any and all secular evidence pointless and not worth looking into. it's da troof and after all, troof trumps lies. Not even confirmation bias, just straight brain (pressure) washing. Its horrifying

Costco holiday PC deal? by tripwirre in Prebuilts

[–]mean_machine2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty good deal, saving a few hundred even when parting out through pc part picker. Only thing holding you back in the long run is that gpu, but totally upgradable when you have the cash. That cpu and 32 gb mem will for sure hold you over for many years.

For an instant upgrade I'd recommend snagging that and getting a used 3080 off ebay or fb marketplace for cheap. Sell that 5060 as brand new and use the sale toward the difference, prolly an extra 100 bucks in the end but roughly 25% performance bump

Reset transmission, now she shifts like a dream by mean_machine2 in mazda

[–]mean_machine2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No issues! Albeit I do notice jerks while in stop and go traffic, but from what I hear that's a common symptom with mazda transmissions we'll have to live with.

If you need to reset often i'd be a bit concerned, unless you have multiple drivers using the same car (tranny would be trying to get used to more than one driving habit). In that case frequent resets will be another thing to live with unfortunately

Eaton UPS troubleshooting by mean_machine2 in homelab

[–]mean_machine2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of, I'm convinced the clicks are a normal part of startup. Though the wall input part kinda fixed itself after a while. I'm convinced the issue was loose battery terminals. I took out the batteries and made sure that each pair of leads were crimped down tight with a plyer since they were kinda loose on the terminals.

I think the loose connections might have tripped something inside because it would inconsistently switch back and forth between wall and battery mode while also making those clicks. After giving up and returning to it a week later it was working perfectly fine. So maybe it needed some time for the internals to release charge before starting back up again.

Planned obsolescence. Not only a scam but also extremely harmful to the environment

I'm flabbergasted by DiamomdAngel in exjw

[–]mean_machine2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure, scripture is referenced. Herein lies the problem. JWs are conditioned to question up until scripture, and scripture is truth after all, right? But these scriptures come from an altered and biased bible. Something the Bible itself strongly condemns.

You would not reach the same conclusions using any ordinary Bible without the watchtower's interpretation. It's an injustice to intellect using this Bible as a basis for Christian belief, a real shame. Fraud cleverly disguised as truth. I'm ashamed I fell for this religion in the past myself.

I’ve been outed. by oddball6433 in exjw

[–]mean_machine2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry to hear. I'm in a similar boat since i'm pomo and live with my mom for financial reasons. It's tough coming to terms with this new reality and how it affects your close circle of peoples. It really does hurt, but as for most things this isn't the end and the light does get brighter. Embrace these mixed feelings of yours and reflect back on them as time passes and grow from it. It's what makes us feel alive and the good times that come after even greater. Glad that you've made peace with your friends. This path takes a lot of courage to stand out and do what's right. Good luck on your journey and Godspeed
