Do you have any hobbies? You could join a club and that mutual interest is a good way to make new friends.

If you end up rounding off the head there are a few options. They make special sockets that can grab onto a rounded off bolt. You can try to hammer on a slightly smaller socket. You could drill the head off of the bolt and use an extractor to pull the remnants out, but you risk breaking off the extractor and then you're in a real pickle. You could also weld a nut onto the bolt, but not recommended with a full oil pan. You can also take a hammer and chisel and try to get the bolt to turn using it at an angle, not recommended if you have an aluminum oil pan. You could also just buy an oil extractor and pull the oil through the dipstick tube.

It depends, if you watch Dave's Auto Center people will sink that much into just an engine for an old truck. If fuel prices go up and demand for used evs goes up then I could see it as a solid alternative. I would have to target the most common vehicles that are currently on the road and make universal motors and smaller battery segments so that they could be packaged for different vehicles using the same parts.

I've thought about making a business that makes drop in electric kits for popular vehicles. So you could take an older worn out vehicle and refresh it with full electric. It would probably cost $20k or so, but that's much cheaper than a new car.

I use connect myself

In the book Infinite Jest, the author straight up continues the story in the appendix. So if you ignore all of the notations then you're going to be confused af.

If I VPN into another state then it's interstate commerce and then they can't regulate it.

My coworker showed me the video. Then proceeded to tell me that he's been watching Kirk since last year and that it was probably a "transgender" that shot him. My coworker is Mexican. Also several other coworkers stated that they enjoy the things that he used to say.

Virus waves are exacerbated by holiday schedules. First school starts and kids are a massive disease vector. Then Thanksgiving comes and people spread it to their families and bring it back home. Then it has a month to spread and then Christmas comes.

Waiting for someone in Europe to sue them.

 

Images load at a very low resolution and take 5-10 seconds or more to fully load. Something changed a little while ago as I wasn't having this issue before. I tried clearing cache with no change.

Mastadon? Lemmy? It would probably have to be standalone so people would't be turned off from the content from the rest of the fediverse unless there's a way to prevent federated content from showing on the instance. Just a place to post local news and discussions, maybe a place to sell secondhand. I live near a huge college with a major cs program, so I should be able to get users.

 

Only getting video output from the motherboard. It did this with Budgie on top of stock Ubuntu and with the Budgie "flavor" freshly installed.

I have an Intel A310 in an HP prebuilt, so that's probobly the issue.

 

If you think a game should be higher or lower in ranking, then upvote or downvote it. If you don't see a game on the list that you think should be on the list then create a top level reply with the name and system.

 

If you built a snowman during the day the snow only needs to be below freezing. It can get colder that night or the next day by quite a bit. The exterior of the snowman would be colder than the inside even though they're both frozen.

 

We recently purchased a new (to us) family car and I've been addressing some of the neglected maintenance items. The low beam headlights were extremely dim, yet the high beams were very bright. Incandescent bulbs become dimmer over time. I purchased some which were recommended by the forum for my specific vehicle for only $15 on the rain forest site. They are quite a bit brighter now and I feel much safer driving at night.
