I just built a new PC and decided to use Linux. Initially when I built it my ssd was going to take a long time to come in, weeks after the rest of the parts. So I installed fedora onto an external SSD that I had and everything was great.

Thursday my new internal SSD came in and so I installed fedora onto it and migrated the files I wanted to keep to my new one. After installing steam I'm getting errors when it launches.

There are several versions, proton hot fix, steam, runtime 1.0 scout, runtime 2.0 soldier, runtime 3.0 sniper.

No matter which one I launch this time around I get "an error occurred while launching this game: invalid game configuration"

Usually I launch it, the icon pops up and goes away several times, I end the process, launch it again and it gives me the aforementioned error.

It didn't do that till I installed the new SSD.

This weekend I was replacing the crossmembers in my 2007 f150 and I have determined that, while I've extended the life of it by a lot, I think that I'm in the market for getting a less rusty bed. I have been checking FB marketplace, and I had a good lead on one that was in much better condition than mine for $300. But it was a 5.5 and I need a 6.5.

So I guess my question is aside from waiting for one to randomly crop up, how can I go about finding one for a reasonable price? I live in a pretty remote place and I'm willing to travel a bit, but I can't really just go check some stuff out on a whim.

Truck gets power and attempts to turn over.

Which made me think it wasn't the starter or battery.

Looking things up online it pointed me to the fuel pump.

I went through and did the whole diagnostics with checking that. Including checking the fuses and relay.

I found a video saying the fuel pump control module could be messed up, and it looked pretty rusted out so I changed that. But it didn't fix the issue.

So I going back to the fuel pump diagnostics of the fuel pump, it said to turn the accessory on with the key and you should hear the fuel pump kick on if you put your ear to the gas cap. I did but I honestly don't know what I'm supposed to be hearing.

I'll probably go ahead and replace it, but is there anything else that I should be checking or what?

I'm just getting into welding, and I'm going to try and learn mig.

Truthfully, I haven't even attempted it yet. I've just been gathering the necessary material and this weekend I thought I had everything I needed.

Unfortunately, me being the ignorant person I am, I got an inert gas tank from a 3rd party and swapped it at my local airgas for a 100% argon tank.

Most of you probably see the problem. I haven't used any of the gas yet, and I'm hoping to be able to swap it back for the blend and pay the difference. However, if I'm unable to I wanna try and come up with some alternative options.

Option 1: I work at a brewery and was hoping our gas supplier would be willing to swap it, but I'm not sure on that.

Option 2: I'm trying to see if a gas blender is feasible, as I already own a CO2 tank. And perhaps I could use the argon tank later for tig welding and get a CO2 tank that isn't beverage grade and be all dandy in that regard.

Option 3: Just buy another tank, I like this option the least as they aren't cheap and that means the argon tank just sits there and collects dust.

Option 4: Just learn how to tig welding first.

What would you do in this scenario?

I have very little experience and I'm looking to get a welder of my own.

What welder would you get and why? It can be any of the types, but try to back up why you'd pick that one.

I haven't built a PC in quite a few years, but I kinda like how this one is turning out.

I don't want any rgb.

Use case is going to be gaming, model rendering, upscaling, and photo editing.

I was thinking about going to an i9.

Our tap lines are quite long. I typically do a recirculating cycle of pbc and then an acid cycle.

Is there anything I can do afterwards to fix this issue?

Whomever is comfortable with it, feel free to use a throwaway

How long have you been in the industry?

How long have you worked at the current facility you work at?

What's your current position?

What's your average yearly take away?

I installed osmc in onto my raspberry pi 4 in order to easily have a portable movie player station.

I know you can buy a remote that works with osmc but I was hoping to get my Xbox controller synced up with it via Bluetooth. At first I was having tons of issues getting it to even connect (my phone did easy enough.) I figured out that it didn't autoreconnect to the Wi-Fi network I had connected it to last time I used it, when I reconnected it the controller was able to sync with it no problem. Anywho I'm at the point where it's connected via Bluetooth, but the buttons do nothing.

Is there something I'm missing?

Edit: I installed Libreelec and it seems to work great.

So the brewery I work at, each time we can, we set aside a 6pk for just Incase someone has a complaint about something (carb is off, it was super foamy, I dunno whatever). So far it's only happened once, a Belgian beer that had been sitting on a shelf for way too long, that used diastatic yeast, got way way over carbed. We also use them to revisit seasonals to reassess if we want to change them at all.

Other then that we have a large pile of beer that just doesn't stop accumulating.

At what point in time would you deem it acceptable to throw out? 6 months? 8 months? A year? Longer?

I'm visiting Ireland in January, and for the first night I wanna book a hotel in Dublin and walk somewhere for dinner. All the recommendations I find on Google are for fancy restaurants that serve Italian, authentic Chinese or what have you. But I'd really like a hole in the wall local restaurant that serves local cuisine. And I'd like to base the hotel off where whatever I decide.

So what's your favorite local restaurant in Dublin?

What kind of spider is this?

Thank you all for the show recommendations
