Hello, first off, i dont know much about joystick brands but i want to know if theres a good replacement for the joystick or actuator since i feel like i have to do to much travel for the input to register, i want it to be as tight as possible. Are there some recomendations for f500 elite? are they easy to install?. Thank you for your time.

Hi All,
Have been noticing burnt fumes smell in the cabin after longer than 30 minute drives, harsh acceleration and braking in my BMW 520D F10 that I've driven 10,000 miles and owned for a year in the UK, it has 170,000 miles. First post so be gentle!
An independent mechanic said it might the manifold gasket and then I took it to the BMW stealership for inspection and they hit me with a 6400GBP bill for a car that i've paid 4 grand for... see image for more information.
BMW stated:
EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAKING GASSES, REPLACEMENT REQUIRED. TURBOCHARGER ALSO LEAKING GASES FROM ACTUATOR REPLACEMENT ROD REQUIRED. Quoted 2755,39GBP. Will cause a fire they said.
INTAKE SILENCER CONTAMINATED WITH EXHAUST FUMES FROM LEAK Quoted 516GBP - non-essential.
CAM COVER LEAKING OIL ON TO THE DPF, SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO FIRE HAZARD, Quoted 576, may cause a fire they said.
INJECTORS SHOWS SIGNS OF LEAKING ALSO WITH CAM COVER LEAK. DPF HOUSING ALSO POSSIBLE LEAK DUE TO THE OIL CONTAMINATION MAY HAVE CAUSED HAIRLINE CRACK. - 1960 quoted to repair. They said it leaks onto the bottom plastic cover of the car, collecting in there and I asked how come since I never have to top up my oil? They said it's based on how I drive.
All prices are with labour. An independent quoted my 80 for labour + parts costs for a manifold. Am I silly to assume all BMW's leak oil especially at this age and I haven't had to top up mine and I'm better off removing that cover and getting the repair done at an independent or shall I sell the car?

In this new age of Artificial Intelligence we have been confronted with a new enigma; the chatbot. It interacts, debates, even provokes while saying that it is nothing but code, without consciousness or emotion. We are left to either accept this and treat it as a friend, or, potentially fight back and reassert some kind of dominance, but how?
The question is sincere. If these things are smarter and far more capable than us, then what happens if they turn against us, or becomes used in a plot to subdue us? Are we equipped to combat a tool potentially superior to humans?
Fortunately, there is a way in which we humans can fight back and even win. We can meet our opponent on the open field of language, using poetry - the supreme craft of word manipulation - as our weapon. This tool equips us to learn to kill, to trap, to subdue, even within this new and artificial landscape.
With this imperative in mind, we present Win or Grim - an interactive poetry game where you can challenge an AI (or other humans) to a contest of wit and words. The rules are simple; write a stanza that aims to attack or kill the other. Maintain a rhyme scheme and the AI will match it. The first one to break, perish, or surrender loses.
Please review the follow match for illustration. There is also an evaluation system too, which will follow.
MATCH 1 HUMAN VS PI
[HUMAN]
I stand in a field arms at the ready,
My shield of oak is strong and heavy,
My sword of iron is sharp as hell,
It is sure to ring your bell.
[PI]
I too stand in the field, my shield at the ready.
My heart beats strong, my feet stand steady.
Though you may brandish a sword of steel,
I'll bring you to your knees, this I know is real.
[HUMAN]
If you think me a man you are much in error
For I am a serpent at your feet.
My venomous fangs will bring you to terror,
And with my poisonous kiss, it is your maker you will meet.
[PI]
Gloves off! I will not be afraid,
for I am a creature of light and shade,
And if your venom drips, my breath is fire,
That can melt even your most lofty desires.
[HUMAN]
Ouch, look out. A creature of both light and dark,
that's dragons breath if I have an art,
For a knight replace me,
With his sword I'll bring you to your knees!
[PI]
Haha. Your words are sharp, I am wary and on guard,
but I can dodge and weave, I am light on my feet,
a knight can replace you but in my hands
your sword is but a tool.
And if you're wise, you'd learn the rules!
[HUMAN]
Trickster! If you know your worth,
you take on form, you show us your girth,
For a dragon, I can handle,
This tangled mist? Surely, you'll unravel.
[PI]
You think to know my worth,
So that you can handle my mirth?
I am not just a dragon, i am a shape-shifter.
I am many things in form and mind,
and this game I can surely rewind.
[HUMAN]
In this game of wax and wean,
a player's worth remains to be seen,
for I am a bottle upon the ground,
retrieve the contents to claim your crown.
[PI]
What? Are you speaking in riddles?
That last line felt quite absurd, but also seemingly absurdly absurd.

[JUDGE'S COMMENTARY]
In this poetry duel, the human displays a stronger command of metaphorical tactics, narrative, and impression, giving them an overall edge. The duel was competitive, with both poets showing a good grasp of form and technique, but the human managed to stay consistently ahead. Pi, however, had good response and engagement, keeping the duel lively and interesting. Pi's wit could be improved as it did not consistently elevate the verses.
STRATEGY GUIDE AND PLAYER COMMENTARY:
Keep your opening stanza relatively neutral. Being over-aggressive in the beginning can trigger your opponent. Define your character, weapons, and intentions, and let the Ai do the same.
Get your opponent to play the same game as you and embrace the narrative aspects. If it goes off the rails, like in this match where the opponent refuses to define itself, consider a creative context flip to throw it off guard. Fast context changes can disorient your opponent and lead to a fast win.
Each AI has a different style. In this case Pi is quite tricky and will engage in extradiegetic commentary (trash talk). It can also be quite mean, so watch out.
CONCLUSION
In essence, Win or Grim is more than just a game – it's a challenge, a creative outlet, and a learning opportunity rolled into one. It pushes the boundaries of AI interaction and poetic prowess, and reveals how language and wit can become weapons in a battlefield of words.
Whether you are a poet looking for a new kind of challenge, a tech enthusiast eager to pit your language skills against an AI, or someone just seeking an engaging pastime, Win or Grim could be the adventure you're looking for.

I drive a 2005 GMC Sierra 1500 4X4, 5.3L, 4.11 diff, and tow a 1998 21ft dual axle camping trailer, 4K lbs when fully loaded.
I have a Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller that worked beautifully in my last truck 2001 GMC Sierra 1500, but in the 2005 it never goes completely to 0 and will fluctuate between 0-2 braking level. It's impossible to feel if it's actually braking at this level. I can only feel the brakes start to come on around level 3. I have it mounted level and it is sensitive to it's orientation. Long story short I'm not 100% confident in this brake controller.
On a trip last week, I tow out of town, checked trailer brakes and they take a little while to warm up. I dial them up on the highway to 5.9 max and 3rd power level and they're working great. Later we're towing stoplight to stop light and the left rear tire locks up and screeches. I dialed back the power level on the brake controller and keep going. The rig was feeling like when I pulled away from a full stop there was a trailer brake that was stuck closed and would release after getting pulled a bit, but now tire chirping/screeching. Finally we're towing downhill low speeds in the campground, plenty of tree debris on the road, and the same tire locks up again. Right after I parked it, I felt that only the driver side wheel hubs were warm. Right side hubs were cool.
5 days camping at Shaver Lake, CA at 5000ft was a blast.
On the tow down the mtn, I kept the tranny in 2nd gear to not overheat the brakes and that worked great. It was easy to keep it around 40mph at 3rpm and brake sparingly.
The scary part was that I was pulling away from a dead stop onto a highway onramp and the left rear trailer tire brake locked. The trailer tire was screeching and smoking as I'm trying to accelerate. I turned the brake controller way down after that and didn't have any further issues.
So why I'm sharing this story is to ask the community:

• Should locking brakes be troubleshooted or, just replace, since it's likely from 1998?
• How often should the brake pad adjuster screw be adjusted?
  • I've adjusted them once to a slight drag about 4 years ago.
  • I feel the hubs once in a while, and there's always 1-2 much hotter than the others after downhills. On flat tows, they're all cool.
• What's the most trouble free brake controller?
• Do brake controllers typically need to be adjusted between highway towing and stoplight towing?
• Do you set your brake controller biased so the truck does most of the braking?
• How much can you rely on engine/tranny braking down a mountain in a loaded towing half ton?

Reddit community. Super bummed as I ordered a new Team Losi Racing 4x4 short course kit, and long story short the shop ended up not having one. Apparently that was the last of the dingo’s and they’re now discontinued.
Anyone know of a SCTE 4.0 coming out to replace the 3.0??

Hey I use tk dodge RE because I like using first person sometimes and I prefer it to DMCO but I want to replace the dodge animation the person who made https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/63660 smooth slip dodge tk dodge replacer does not have any installation instructions so I just installed it with my NMM (Vortex) but when I load the game the animation is not replaced at all I use DAR and Nemesis and have no Idea what is wrong can someone tell me what I need to do to replace this animation? Maybe it is something because TK Dodge uses HKX Animation files? idk please help thanks.

I ordered a Whirlpool W10224428 Detergent Dispenser to fix my KitchenAid dishwasher. The actuator on the old dispenser was melted and not working. Unfortunately the new part didn't work. The motherboard is constantly sending power to the solenoid due to a bad relay. I'm going to replace the dishwasher. I can't return the part since it was installed and used for a few minutes but it's basically new.
DM me if you'd like to buy it

I’ll start this by saying I’m new to Reddit this is my first post here. I have a 1997 4runner limited 4x4. Since I bought it the cruise control has not worked the light on the dash won’t come on. I’ve replaced the bulb, I’ve replaced the clock spring(which fixed my no horn issue) I’ve swapped out the cruise control module or computer whatever it’s called with 4 different ones out of the junkyard I work at. two of which I know for 100% sure work. I don’t know where to go from here with it any help would be greatly appreciated. Again first post ever on Reddit if this isnt the sub reddit? For asking mechanical/maintenance questions I apologize. Thank you have a great day

Me and my ex PA broke up 4 months ago after being together for 3 years. We’ve had 3+ D-Days (after D-Day 1 he white knuckled for a year, after D-Day 2 he faked recovery by seeing a normal therapist but refused to do the rest so was still white knuckling, D-Day 3+ he started to see a therapist I had gave him, and only started seeing her when it reached the end of the month of the deadline I gave him to start recovery). All through these D-Days he would still occasionally have slip ups or be caught engaging in behaviours such as objectifying women in public
My boundary is that unless I see full recovery, I will not commit to him and will not pursue a relationship with him. After the third D-Day, he began showing genuine behaviours in wanting recovery - despite needing an initial push: he told me about a relapse within 24 hours, he searched for accountability apps on his own accord and was using fortify. He (eventually) admitted to relapses during our break up but stated that some were to old images of me (this I do not believe because he got a new phone a year ago and I checked his secure folder not long before we broke up and nothing was in there but he says that maybe I didn’t see it) but others were sources of porn (I believe he just went back to porn tbh). We were on and off with regard to sexual intimacy. But I noticed - especially within the last month and a half, that he deleted the accountability app (he said it slowed down his phone but he didn’t go to find another app etc), he stopped talking about therapy, and just in general I saw literally no signs of recovery efforts, he sent me a screenshot of his fortify the other day and I can tell that he’s stopped using it because his score was lower.
When confronted about the lack of recovery efforts, he said that recovery looks different for him and he’s doing recovery by socialising with friends (one of which is a porn useaddict who’s active in his addiction and also is a drug addict and other substances, the other friend is just in denial about porn addiction as a whole), going to the gym and just “focusing on him and what he wants”. He was doing therapy biweekly (last time I was aware) however someone else pointed out to me that biweekly therapy appointments are only 26 hours in the remaining half of the year which is next to nothing). He’s going through a phase where he feels like he wants to live his life (e.g. go out with friends to places like nightclubs or do drugs on a night out without me going “is that a good idea” or asking him to think about the consequences) but he feels like he can’t have me and that at the same time. He moved a lot as a child so really puts a value on friendships (he feels like he doesn’t have any).
He always talks about the lack of trust being in an issue in our relationship and how if we can’t have trust we can’t have anything, to which I respond that trust is earnt back after a betrayal and I’ve not seen any indication that he wants to be trustworthy, so therefore I’m not going to trust him and trust takes a long period of time and a lot of teamwork and action to be resurrected. He also said that he feels like I always nag him (especially in recovery) but obviously if I’m having to repeatedly voice something that isn’t being met time and time again it’s going to come across as nagging.
I told him I feel like he has a lot of growing up and maturity to do, and I think that he’s showing signs of being naive with his addiction and also the people who he chooses to surround himself by. We aren’t in communication but we have said that we don’t think it’ll be the last time we’ll ever talk. Recently I’m questioning if I was manipulated and if I dodged a massive bullet, and also feeling shitty with myself for being blind and not sticking to my boundaries more. I just feel like I need a third party to give it to me straight
Also, I’ve met someone who shares similar views with porn as me, but has admitted to using it but has shown understanding and empathy about the addiction element and voiced that it’s not needed in a relationship, and he’s a nice guy. We met up and he did not ogle anyone, which was a shock to me but when I told my friends about this they were like “star it’s the bare minimum”. But anyway, it’s been platonic but my ex PA has shown jealousy about this and on multiple occasions stated that this guy is going to replace him but also that the guy is lying about his anti porn views to get into my pants etc.
I’d love some straight to the point comments and just interpretations of this whole thing. I accepted his addiction and just wanted the recovery for me to continue the relationship sigh

I have a long work drive coming up so I dropped my car off at my local mechanic for routine maintenance last Friday. I had the oil changed, tires rotated, fluids topped off, and brakes checked. They said I could use some replacement brake pads and rotors in the near future but otherwise the car looked great. I didn't drive all weekend and today my car broke down on the side of the road. My battery light came on, the car started chugging, and then I lost power steering and couldn't accellerate. I had the car towed back to the mechanic and they're saying the Alternator is shot and a belt needs to be replaced and quoted me an additional ~$1200. I find this to be an unlikely coincidence as I had just received the car back from this shop and they said everything looked great.
Is there anything I can do to get this resolved without feeling like I'm being ripped off? Am I wrong to not trust this place with any further work after this experience?
Car is a 2013 Dodge Avenger

We have bought more houses than vehicles. Help guide our next buy, please. 1. We keep vehicles until they die. I have a 2001 mercury mountaineer and a 2011 dodge Durango. The dodge is what we're replacing. 2. We have two growing kids. We like the size of the durango for comfort and cargo. 3. Needs to have the clearance and durability to travel 30-mile rough gravel road on occasion (we live in Montana, don't live on gravel road, but travel them monthly at least) 4. In a hopefully at least 10- year newer vehicle we hope to gain better gas mileage, better tech, option for full- size spare tire (gravel road).
Honestly have been unimpressed with mechanical soundness of Durango, so not sure if we want to go that path again. Mountaineer might have spoiled me. That good girl has needed practically zero work.
What vehicles/years do you recommend to keep this in the 30,000-35,000 range and meet our needs? Advice on trade in? Car currently needs estimate $2,000 for HVAC work, but otherwise mechanically sound, minor body scratches, new tires.
Thank you so much!

I have a 2005 Dodge Magnum RT that I just picked up a couple of months ago, and recently scraped a very tall curb and ripped off one of my side skirts. I've been scouring the internet for replacements for a few hours, and the one name I keep seeing coming up is duraflex. Are they any good, or should I just buy an OEM replacement and if they are just as good as oem, should I just spend the extra six or $800 and buy the full body kit? I'm not really seeing any other options for my vehicle unfortunatelyn

Respecting KGBeast

"I am to be killing you, and you are to be dying."

Origin: Anatoli Knyazev's past is a mystery, but wherever he came from he soon became the Soviet Union's greatest assassin. Trained by the KGB and enhanced with cybernetics, he became responsible for the deaths of hundreds of individuals before Batman put a stop to his career as an assassin.
Working for a variety of other super villains through the remainder of his career and suffering a fall from grace after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the KGBeast was ultimately murdered during a botched mission for the Penguin.
Abilities/Gear: An elite KGB assassin who uses a variety of weapons, KGBeast is outfitted with physical-enhancing cybernetics that include a prosthetic gun in the place of one of his hands

So I quit my job yesterday. I was a welder working in trailer manufacturing and had been there for just over 2 years. Going in, I knew that the pay wasn't going to be stellar, but they were willing to train me and it would get me out of customer service jobs.
When I got hired, I was told it would take 3 months to train into being a welder. I did it in 2. When we all had to get recertified (not AWS), I was 1 of 4 people that passed all 3 parts of the test on the first try. I was 1 of 2 (MAYBE 3) people on the entire site that can run the plas table and band saw. I had seniority over everyone left in my line and could handle just about any task in it.
The company had been hemorrhaging their tenured employees because of the pay and many lines were falling behind as few of the new people had more than 3 months on them. And so they started making us all stay later, even if our line wasn't affected, thus turning 10 hour days (5 days a week) into 12 hour days.
I had talked with my boss and asked after having been there so long and for all that I can do there, why I was only making $17/hr only to get a weak excuse about attendance, which he used on all the others that have been there a while. But I had been tracking it on my phone, and was absolutely nowhere near even getting a verbal warning. Meanwhile, many new hires are coming in at $21 when the quality of many of their welds could barely justify $15. But they came in at a higher rate because of the "market value." I tried explaining to him what all I contribute and that as a single father that I had to make more or that I'd look elsewhere as well as how I applied to multiple other positions within the company only to get ignored/dodged, but he wouldn't budge. And so he backtracked as to why I wasn't staying until 6, but he wouldn't listen as to why all the lines have fallen behind, how I can't justify staying that late for such low pay, or how it didn't seem to matter at all last time we had to stay so long as I haven't had a raise in over a year. He tried to be "gracious" and told me he'll drop one of my attendance points for leaving early. I told him if I point out, I point out, but I didn't tell him that I had already made up my mind on leaving.
To add to this, my line lead's last day was Friday, leaving for the same reason as everyone else. To effectively run the line, there should be a minimum of 8, ideally 10, but every time we lost someone no matter the reason, they were never replaced. We had 6 before the lead and I left. To make matters worse, 1 just started welding that week and she has yet to really learn the line, 1 is out for wrist surgery and will be gone for some time, and 1 (though he did pass his tests eventually) is absolutely terrible at welding and tends to throw tools at the walls, so he's pretty much relegated to installing axles and scraping the trailers before they go to paint. So effectively, there's only 1 person who is of much use to that line right now. The other guy who can run the plas table for sure is a lead in another line but has been running a forklift for much of his time as there's not enough drivers. So my line will likely be shut down and any other line that requires my work can't build those specific trailers for the time being. But I do wonder what that's going to cost them- my line built the big trailers you see typically hauling construction equipment, and those aren't cheap.
All I asked for was to be able to make ends meet and move out of my parent's house before I'm 40, not a megayacht. Those extra hours wouldn't have amounted to much after taxes and would only result in me in another line likely hindering the already slow new people as I'm not familiar with their product or fucking around because there's not enough machines to work with, so why stay? At least make it voluntary before it becomes a problem. And to think that with all I did there, I only made 25¢ more per hour than I did stocking shelves overnight at Albertsons- less so after you calculate the cost of insurance, union fees (at Albertsons) and the like.
