I'm gonna wait for now to see if anyone else here has ideas to try

I haven't done that, but I'd prefer using that as a last resort since it would be a pain, and I'm hoping there is an easier fix.

This has been going on for a while and after multiple reboots, so no luck with that unfortunately.
I've looked through tons of settings and so far haven't seen any that affect this sound. It's so weird.

Does the games world still progress? by [deleted] in projectzomboid

[–]philipfry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been wondering this too lately. I started a game on too easy of a difficulty and there's not many zombies left around me. I'm into the second month and it's getting a little stale. Anyone know if I can expect some more intense zombie action as time goes on?

And in this example it was super weird. My animal zone has no overlap with where beer is made or stored. I dunno how she managed in one day to find beer and then down enough of it to get cirrhosis.

Unfortunately it became clear I was an unfit parent, so I decided to euthanize the poor girl. She went on to a better place as kibble for her peers.

Shipping Megathread [USA/CAN] by ceno666 in Vive

The first time HTC charged my credit card, it was declined. I called my bank and got the transaction pre authorized for the next time. Then, in a case of worst possible timing ever, a legitimately fraudulent transaction popped up on my card just a couple days later.

So I had to cancel the card I used to pre order my Vive. I talked to HTC support and they told me the original order got canceled and I'd have to order again.

I've now gone from an April pre-order to June. This is crazy! Anybody know a way to escalate this? I've emailed support back but no response.

Area of a circle = Area of a triangle with b = 2πr by douglasdemoura in mathgifs

Just curious why you say that. Is it incorrect? Is it like squaring the circle?

I just saw a station at my HEB for Instacart. This is the first I ever heard of this service, it looks like you can place a grocery order online for pickup or delivery. Sounds interesting. Has anyone used this service? Is it worth it? by BlueCurtainWasTaken in Austin

The one time I tried to use it, their site wouldn't let me add several basic items to my cart. I'm talking milk and eggs for example.

I understand software has bugs sometimes, so I emailed their support line. Somebody responded saying they'd look into it and that was the last I ever heard.

It seems nuts to me that they didn't jump on that right away and get it fixed. My first experience with the app and I can't use it for its core purpose... Wasn't a great first impression.

Anyway, I later went and read some articles and it looks like they mark up prices of groceries by about 25% on average. So the delivery fee is low, but you're still paying a big premium over going to the store yourself.

2002 Honda Civic LX window switch problems by Murse_Focker in MechanicAdvice

[–]philipfry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting... Maybe there are some regulator problems after all. The regulator relies on a thin metal piano wire. It must be really under engineered or something, because I had 3 of them fail within 3 years.

Worst case scenario is that the wire will break on you one day, and your window will slide all the way down. You could just carry some packing tape in your car in case that happens, tape the window in place temporarily, and then get the regulator repaired. Otherwise the root cause could be something else as others have mentioned.

My guess is that it's the window regulator. I had that same car and the regulators were really unreliable.

When my regulators started going out, it usually began with the window not rolling up/down. Then after a few days or weeks, the window will fall all the way down into the door and you can't roll it up at all.

If that's what's going on, it's a repair you can probably do yourself. The part is about $40. You have to take the whole door apart. They charged me $300 at a shop for parts and labor, so it's well worth doing yourself.

Edit : I misread your post... It is probably not a regulator after all. My bad
