Ran into this while doing an oil change, why is this like this? Why is there a chunk of thread missing? Vehicle is a 2019 Buick Cascada. Based on the look of things, At one point before it came to me the threads got cross-threaded or stripped, there was an attempt to retap and rethread the hole. There was a HeliCoil installed, And it came out while I was removing the drain plug.

I recently started a job as a lube tech, I'm using shop loaner tools for now but it doesn't have quite everything I need, and I'm going to need to get my own eventually.

What specific things do you recommend a lube tech at a GM dealership making 12.50 an hour full time gets as their first tools? Specific links for specific brand/models would be greatly appreciated!

My first priority is shoes, (Currently rocking some old tennis shoes) My second priority is a power drill, (Currently the other lube tech is sharing his with me) My 3rd priority is a air-chuck, (Currently the other lube tech is sharing his with me, ) My 4th priority is an impact wrench (being affordable is important, but I'm currently borrowing one that is good enough, and I'd rather not go deaf so if I have to spend a little bit more to get something quieter I will)

I made a thing, and I figured it would be more useful if more people knew about it.

I've got a couple of spare Wii balance boards lying around, and I want to replace the guts with an ESP home board hooked into its load cells to it into home assistant as a weight sensor.

My goal is to convert them to litterbox stands So I can get metrics on which litter boxes are being used and when. Any recommendations?

Multiple public lobbies. The backend seems to already support it, it would be worth it imo to add a way for the user to access it.

When you hit battle, instead of dumping you into the lobby immediately it gives you a list of all the available public lobbies, showing you basic info about each lobby, with "New Lobby" button at the bottom of the list. UX Elements should push users to make public lobbies, but private would also be an option there.

To make the most common use case as easy as possible, put a "Suggested" lobby at the very top that functions exactly like the current system does. Meaning the only downside of this would be to add a single extra button press for the default behavior.

This would not make a major difference in a majority of circumstances, but it would make mass raiding better. I can only imagine how cool it would be to see something like this for Go Fest or when raiding in a really big city.

It's going to be published to https://assets.pogo.community soon!

So I'm trying to get unraid set up for the first time, I'm still running the free trial and assuming I can get this set up, I do plan on purchasing it but I'm starting to get frustrated and could use some help.

I previously had a drobo, but that company went under and I decided to switch to an unraid box because at least as far as I can tell, it's the only other NAS solution that will let me upgrade my array over time with mixed drive capacities.

Initially everything was fine, I popped in all my empty drives, set up the array with 1x20Tb drive set up as parity, 1x20tb and 5x14TB drives set up as data disks and I started to move stuff over from the backups that I had from the previous Drobo NAS using the unassigned devices plugin and a USB 3 Hard drive dock.

Well, what had happened twice now is that randomly a device will go disabled with no indication of what's wrong. The blank drives are only about a year old and have before this shown absolutely no signs of failing. They are also still passing the SMART tests with no errors. The first time this happened it was the brand new 20 terabyte drive and the parity slot. I was able to resolve this by unassigning that drive starting the array and then stopping to reassign the drive. That's what a forum post. I was able to find suggested and that seemed to have worked, but it started a whole new parity sync That was estimated to take a whole week. The thing is I don't have a week to waste so I went ahead and started moving files back onto the system again, but now the same thing has happened to disc 3. One of the 14 terabyte drives.

I'm at my wits end, the first time it happened I couldn't figure it out. So I just wiped the array reinstalled on raid and try it again because I just couldn't figure it out. Are there any kind of common pitfalls than anyone could recommend me checking or anyone in general? Just willing to help?

My hardware: Ryzen 7 5700G 64GB of 3200 ECC DDR4 (2x16gb is currently installed, but I've got another 2x16 that just arrived yesterday. I need to install that was just shipped late) 8 NAS bays in the front case

Blank Drives: 2x20TB, 5x14TB, 1x8TB Drives with Data on them: 2x20TB, 1x10TB, 1x8TB (totaling around 40 TB of data across them)

Once the data is moved off of the drives that have data on them, I do intend to add them to the array. My NAS case has eight bays, and two internal SSDs that are separate from the NAS bays, One sata ssd set up as a cache, the other an NVME m.2 set up as a space for appdata.

As of last night before I went to bed I had about 3 terabytes of data moved onto the array, but during the overnight copy, something happened to my disc 3 which made the device marked as offline. I couldn't find any error messages informing me why the disk was offline but it was marked as offline.

The Parity drive was already invalid because I was copying data in while the parity sync was happening, and now I can't get the array to start at all.

I tried doing something that a forum post recommended which was to start the array with the disc unassigned in maintenance mode, then stop the array and then restart it with disc 3 Reassigned to the correct drive, but it refuses to do so. It tells me that there are too many wrong or missing disks.

The weirdest part is that I know that disc 3 still has the data on it because if I unassigned 3 and then mount that drive using the unassigned devices plugin I can see all the data is still browsable and there.

I'm starting to feel real dumb cuz I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I feel like there's got to be something simple that I'm doing wrong and I just can't figure out what it is.

This is a project I've been work on since TSR shut down, would love to get more people on board!
