You sound like a provocateur.

Grab sks and go innawoods

Maybe stop printing so much and just sell stl files on various platforms like printables, thangs, Etsy, etc. They say sell shovels in a gold rush.

I installed an external antenna for mine pointed directly at the nearest cell tower and it’s fine with multiple streams going. Before I did that it wasn’t very good. The annoying part is that there’s no access to settings in the router. I’m considering going to fiber for an extra $30/mo just because of the router issue.

Use a VPN, signal messenger, and a phone with graphine on it or at least a keyboard that doesn’t need Internet permissions. Also avoid social media and use browser extensions to block ads and scripts, plus use different browsers for different things and ddg or other private search engines. Pay cash and buy second hand whenever possible.

I’d be willing to do it. I run !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world and !dullsters@dullsters.net as long as there’s not a ton of other mods or power mods on this community. It’s only got 2k subs so it’s not going to get a lot of reports I wouldn’t think.

How often are you having to deal with reports?

Had the same issue and it was my mouse causing the USB ports to stop working I realized that the clock was still working and it would go into hibernate. Just wouldn’t respond to mouse or kb.

There’s no reason to use leaded fuel. Lead was just used as an octane booster. People say that it helps lubricate the valves or whatever, but it’s a myth. You might eventually have issues if you run e10 fuel because that stuff isn’t good for fuel systems in the first place.

They’re built so that they can’t easily be repaired cheaply so that you have to buy a new one. The dealership makes all their money off of predatory financing. They pay mechanics on “flat rate” so there’s a gross incentive to recommend work that isn’t necessary. Then there’s the insurance industry. Then of course police use minor driving infractions to hassle people and generate revenue. The whole industry could just not exist and the world would be better for it. People spend half their salary just to have a car, it’s ridiculous.

USB stick with os installer. People don’t always have a second PC to make one.

It depends. I mod !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world and don’t feel like I should try to steer the community in any way. I want it to grow it’s own culture naturally. I’m just there to tend the garden, but I rarely have to take any actions due to the nature of the community.

After working on them professionally I stopped liking them. I don’t even really like driving anymore. Everything about a car is a scam.

Almost a year in and !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world is very close to 3k subs!

Ultimately I used a gel style superglue to fill in the gap and it worked. Even if it doesn’t bond to the metal it’s just there as a filler. I can’t find a replacement part or an stl. There’s zero play now and I’m getting good prints. I see a lot of other issues happening long before the bearings go bad.

It’s not difficult, but there are a lot of little details that get skipped quite often, mostly cleaning/rust removal. You technically should resurface or replace the rotors every time you change pads because it helps break in the pads. You should clean the hubs and rotor surfaces where the wheel mounts because debris /rust remaining can make the rotor /wheel not true. The calipers and brackets should also be cleaned and shims/other hardware should be replaced. Caliper bolts /slides should be cleaned / inspected / replaced. If there’s a torn boot on the caliper, then it should be replaced or rebuilt. If you don’t take the time to do it properly then there’s a good chance that the pads will wear out prematurely on one side or could seize up shortly after you do the brakes (happened to me one time) you should also flush the fluid if it looks very dirty as brake fluid is hygroscopic. It absorbs moisture which lowers its boiling point. If your brake fluid boils then your brakes won’t work.
