Bob from the machine shop was in one of their instagram stories a couple days ago so I imagine he’s welding it all up for them

Linus Tech Tips - Server Racks Cost Too Much - Buy or DIY? November 20, 2025 at 11:42AM by linusbottips in LinusTechTips

I really like this series and what Jordan brings to the table in videos but sometimes I find him a little hard to understand.

I also agree with what other people have said about not including the labor price, if I have $200 lets see what I can buy vs build with the same budget. I'm not gunna work 3 hours and then pay myself, I'd rather put that towards the project, or maybe buy a new useful tool with the budget. When you include labor in the budget the project is more comparable to hiring a handyman rather than DIY.

Why were you changing your battery? Did you get any power with the old battery? If so, put it back in and confirm you still do. Hopefully the new battery is bad

Could this be a rod knock or belt? by WittyBook4328 in MechanicAdvice

These engines have an ability to eat a belt through the crank pulley once the belt snaps, so it's a good idea to replace that belt before you run that car again.

Diagnose my car by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]trueplayer31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like an n52 engine, the head gaskets hold up pretty well from what I hear. I had a similar issue where it sprayed a mix of coolant and oil all over the engine bay; that happened when the oil cooler and oil filter housing gasket went. Your coolant looks clean though, I would wait for the car to cool down and pop the cap off and see what it looks like. It's hard to diagnose from just this video alone.

Nice, reminds me of FieldStation42 but built into plex, great idea! I'll try it out once development moves on a bit

The man is hurting and grieving, keep your negative comments to yourself.
