I don’t think so. I’ve seen lots of mechanics just slam the impact wrench on lug nuts instead of torquing. I’m not a mechanic tho. Only know a few cars I’ve worked on.

    Yeah dating is rough especially when you’re busy. Some people don’t feel comfortable telling somebody they’re not interested anymore, or they’re dating somebody else and don’t want to completely end it with you. If you can start dating multiple people, as exhausting as that is, you’ll feel much less concerned if/when this happens again.

    At the end of the day, any number of reasons why he’s acting the way he is. I hope you find somebody who is so into you, takes things slow and isn’t dating around while dating you.

    Metro is about to quietly end future funding for open street events. You can stop it if you act by Wednesday, July 22, at 5pm.

    Why it matters: Open street events are for everyone. Cutting funding doesn't just put organizations like CicLAvia and open streets programs like ActiveSGV’s 626 Golden Streets/Active Streets at real risk. It erases opportunities for communities that don't otherwise get this kind of social infrastructure investment.

     

    Sounds like gears rubbing or something. Maybe a chain or belt? Sounds like it’s coming from the front of the engine and it goes up and down in pitch with throttle.

    For context, I recently got some water in the intake, but not enough to hydrolock. Changed MAF. Idles fine.

    Thanks!

    EDIT: I think the sound is coming from one of the belt pulleys. Upper left one?

    Edit edit: I’m pretty sure it’s the alternator now. Will follow up.

     

    I’ve noticed that lots of videos on social media and on YouTube, specifically the Shorts, have this strange filter on them that makes them look AI generated. Even videos that I’ve seen before without the filter and know are authentic because they were created before people could make realistic AI videos.

    Do you think this is intentionally done by content creators and/or the companies themselves to make AI content more easily accepted?

     

    Hello! Hopefully this is the right community for this question.

    I’ve started small with solar by getting a 100W panel that connects to a battery that I charge daily and use it to charge things like my laptops or other devices.

    I want to start adding additional panels and sending that solar power into our home to use throughout.

    As I vaguely understand it, I can get a grid-tie microinverter and then plug panels into that? Will this work? Do I need different type of panels? Do all the panels need to match in specs/watts? It has MC4 (I think?) cables and bullet output.

    How are yall sending solar to your home without getting a full on roof mounted solar system?

    Thanks!

    EDIT: in California

     

    One of the good things about Reddit is you often have a question and there’s a post about it with a bunch of users answering and validating the answers.

    I’ve tried searching posts in Lemmy and either the search feature just doesn’t seem to work or maybe nobody has posted that question before (which I find unlikely).

    What’s the best way to use Lemmy like a search engine for answers like Reddit?
