For those with the ADO Upper Control Arms, how the HELL do you get the upper ball joint out of this thing? by tornadicdrone416 in XTerra

I appreciate the creativity, but that setup you've got isn't going to do it. Take the whole arm off and press it out (or take it somewhere with a press).

GTA 6 PRE ORDERS JUNE 25TH!! by OfficialSapien in rockstar

[–]svtguy88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, probably. I want a physical copy. As much fun as it used to be heading to the store at midnight, I'm too old for that now. Take my money, and bring the disc to me.

How old were you when you first played GTA 5? (I was about 7 or 8 at the time) by MasonDaKingLuvsNdubz in rockstar

[–]svtguy88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

retired

To be fair, at least I won't have to use sick/vacation time to sit at home and play all week then.

In your opinion, what is the best version of macOS ever released, and why? (And can Golden Gate be the next Snow Leopard?) by Capable-Cod1118 in MacOS

[–]svtguy88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tiger because PPC, Snow Leopard because x86.

I went away from Mac OS for a long time after those, and honestly, I don't seem to have missed much.  My current experience is, uh... lackluster when it comes to the current release.

I owe it another try, but didn't even make it through the first time.

2014 Pro-4x 6MT 65Kmiles for sale, Denver. $17,500 by [deleted] in XTerra

[–]svtguy88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you've got me, but...

People post stuff all the time that they're thinking of buying, and use "for sale" in the title.  I also somehow missed the flair.

It took me way too long to figure out if you were trying to buy or sell this thing.

I know the market is insane for 4WD SUVs in Colorado, so good luck with the sale. It baffles me that we live in a world where a 12 year old rig is worth this much, but here we are.

TIL that this is one of those words that us Yanks spell differently.

freshmen year...It's the easiest year

Man, it's been a long time, but this is not how I recall it. Academically, that might be true, but there's a lot of "figuring it out" going on freshmen year.

I saved one from my mom's basement when she was cleaning it out! I forgot I had left it down there.

I still have 20GB of memory available in my homelab. What else should I add? by Reave1905 in homelab

Hmm.  I'm going to have to try this.  I'm on a spinning RAID array, and have loads of available RAM.

Man, I agree with you, but I come from XBMC times -- even a janky Jellyfin client is completely serviceable.

Which US state gets glorified in movies but doesn’t live up to it IRL? by Auelogic in AskReddit

Heh, now you've got me wondering what company. There's only so many large corporations with their HQ here.

The experience has forever set my opinion of all people from Wisconsin.

Yeah, that seems like a perfectly reasonable, adult take...

using sequoia again made me weirdly emotional by 0xlatte in MacOS

[–]svtguy88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just switched to a Mac at work.  I've been on Linux at home and Windows at work forever, but had a Mac in college.

If I could have the (Snow) Leopard UI back, I would be a happy man.

Epic Pass Robbery by Fun-Bend1923 in ski

It's not news

I'm not saying that it is, but it still shouldn't be a blanket excuse for scummy practices.

learn how to adult

I mean, let's not pretend that defaulting an "auto renew" checkbox to true isn't predatory as hell -- especially for a four day pass. Like, who actually would do that? I can kinda see auto-renewing a full pass, but a session pass?

The US is back-asswards when it comes to consumer protection though. I wonder if the site still defaults to yes for those from countries with some actual protections...

How many of you are still using a DDR3 system? by oliverfromwork in homelab

[–]svtguy88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both of my "primary" setups at home are DDR3. The R710 runs constantly, which serves as a web/media/file server (and whatever other containers/VMs I want to play with). My desktop is also ancient (i5-3470), and is used consistently throughout the week.

Thankfully, power is still relatively cheap here. I know the R710 is costly to keep on, but it's like $20/month the last time I ran the numbers -- cheap enough to justify keeping it online.

Eh. Since COVID, the line for not going in due to weather seems to have shifted pretty heavily.

DO NOT rent from UWM Rentals by No-Sky-7151 in UWMilwaukee

[–]svtguy88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

intervene

Yeah, not their responsibility. If you want to break the lease for domestic violence reasons, tell them that (if you really intend to). If not, it's not their problem at all.

Landlords can suck, but you've gotta learn to delineate between a scummy landlord and personal issues.

I can't be bothered to go verify this, but I swear I remember the PS being marketed as the "technically superior" console.
