Agreed. To me, the ringing is just what silence sounds like now after 15 years of the ringing. Mine isn’t very bad, so I only really hear it in quiet spaces, but I protect my hearing as much as possible now to prevent it from getting worse.
If you want some variety, I played a ton of PowerWash Simulator when I had COVID and it was fantastic. Just chill, not much thought required, and clean stuff with a pressure washer progression system.
Phantasy Star Online. They’ve tried to release sequels over the years - Universe, PSO2 - and failed miserably at capturing what made Episodes 1 and 2 great. There’s no way they would be able to just update the graphics without trying to “improve” something in the gameplay, or changing the loot system, or adding MTX, and would just fuck it up again.
PSO is so good that even now, 23 years after it launched on Dreamcast, there’s still hundreds if not thousands of people like me that still play regularly. Whether that’s offline on their GameCube or online in Blue Burst on PC on a server like Ephinea.
I use NoMachine between windows and Linux and I’m happy with it. According to their site they support MacOS.
Huh, didn’t know that. Most of my wrenching has been done on older GM trucks and they used a vacuum actuated valve that cut the heater core out entirely by closing the loop under the hood, so coolant still flows by a shortened path. I’m just glad ops problem was found there. Thanks for the info!
It’ll be primed but not pressurized. Some leaks, especially in older rubber hoses, only leak under pressure when the swelling of the hose opens the split.
Awesome! I claim victory for this thread. One more notch carved into the 1/2" ratchet.
People be jumping straight to head gaskets way too much when coolant issues arise.
Any chance your partner uses the heater and you don’t? Many cars have a heater core bypass valve that only allows coolant into the heater core when the heat is on in the cabin.
I got an aftermarket 9 cell battery on Amazon for like $30, mine has 8 hours of battery life at idle now in Mint with the brightness all the way up. Highly recommended. Three SSDs, 16GB of RAM, but otherwise stock T420.
