Tide posted:So this is weird. My wife has had four phone calls this morning asking about fake IDs. I search her number and low and behold, her phone number is listed as a contact for fake IDs. So either my wife is a burgeoning criminal mastermind (not likely) or I don't know what. The hosting according to whois.net shows a company in the UK. Time to turn informant for the local police and make some money on the side?

Yeah, I don't think you can run DD-WRT on any of the outsourced cost-cutting WRT54Gs (v4 and above?) They don't have enough RAM even for the micro versions. Please proceed to mail the router back to Linksys, COD, with a brick in the box.

BrokenKnucklez posted:Did some digging, and found that changing the MTU to auto, it should fix the issues. It won't fix it. All the Linksys WRT54s I've ever owned (and I've had a lot) eventually just go tits up. I had one that started behaving like yours, and after a series of tweaks, continued to be worse and worse until I was doing weekly resets and then weekly firmware writes to make it work. Eventually it just stopped turning on. Everything people/Linksys suggest online just placebo effects you into leaving the thread. They're cynically made garbage from a company that treats actual expertise as a nose-wrinkling cost centre in order to make a price low enough to justify burping it out into a Best Buy to get Ma and Pa Retail onto the break-replace treadmill.

Doccers posted:I need to get a solar trickle charger set up in the Volvo, I don't drive it as much or as far as I should so the batteries get acid stratification and then die. I saw a cool one a few days ago at the store that plugs in via cigarette lighter, OBD2 or alligator clips. I'm guessing only the latter applies to the Volvo. I think it was a Coleman, and they make a few controllers as well which could probably be rigged up to provide convenience/comfort features while camping too.

The S40 is a DOHC so it's an interference motor. In an interference motor, the valve and the piston occupy the same space at different times (the valve comes far enough down and the piston comes far enough up that they could potentially meet). Usually the valve comes down, poops some fuel and air into the cylinder, and then gets the gently caress out before the piston comes up to compress that fuel and air. In this case, the timing belt broke, which failed to drive the cam that the valve depends on, so a valve was still hanging down when the piston came up. This means that at least one valve is probably bent from striking the top of the piston. You'd need to put new valves in the head or (ideally) just replace it with a head from a wrecker. Then you'd have to re-time it, and probably fix all the timing set bits while you're at it. The more pressing concern is that if you're dealing with someone who didn't have the money or knowledge to replace a timing belt there are probably other things they ignored. Check car-part to see what a replacement head will cost. You will learn a lot about cars extremely quickly, but not in a way I would ever recommend doing with your own money and time.

angryhampster posted:We were given a deep fryer as a wedding gift. We loved that goddamn thing. We fried everything. Potatoes, chicken, pork, cheese, okra, whatever. This was for about six months, and then we realized the steam from the fryer had left a thin film of oil all over our kitchen. We were so grossed out that we tossed it. This is why I had to replace my hood fan vent in my kitchen when I moved in. Previous owners apparently liked to make a lotta stirfries with a lotta oil, and the vent piping looked like one of those cautionary commercials about cholesterol where they squeeze it out of a heart valve.

Depending on how the phone was waterlogged I've been able to save them to varying degrees (water skiing yes, full immersion no). The rice trick has never ever worked for me, though.

One of my coworkers dressed up today as Santa Claus. I think it'd be hilarious to set up the front end of your house as Santa's Village, and have elf helpers walk the kids through a giant queue to tell Santa what they want for Christmas. As they progress through the queue, it has a Disney-style twist back and forth so they can't really see where they're going to end up, and the decor gets more and more run down as it approaches its terminus. At the end they round a corner and inside a darkened room lit only by ambient backflash from lights shining through the house's window is a gaunt, bruised Santa sitting atop a throne of skulls.
