If you get those parts from AutoZone or O’Reilly’s or something and take it to a decent mechanic you can probably save about $200 on each of those $400+ labor quotes.

Main issue is finding a decent mechanic or one that isn’t lazy and quotes you high because they don’t want to do the job.

Not sure what you mean by qualified. Edit: I looked it up and it seems like adding the http part, but why would that prevent someone from clicking the link? For me it worked fine.

If you check my SoundCloud all of the track art I’ve used I made myself using Canva. Even I think it’s starting to look same-y, but it’s more interesting than having no art and cheaper than paying an artist. I say the cheap part because I’m still making essentially no money from music, so Canva lets me put out something interesting with no previous graphical design knowledge or history.

So, to me, it’s a blessing and a curse. I can whip up some quick art (in an hour, sometimes two), and save money as well. The curse is people look down on Canva and I feel like there’s an upper limit I haven’t reached with the web based editing.

I use Jdownloader as well but it just seems…shady somehow. I don’t know why.

Better pray sweat/drink condensation/ANY moisture doesn’t get on that map, otherwise you’re toast!

I got lost leaving prom because I’d only had my license less than a year and didn’t know major highways. The printed instructions were illegible at night without your cabin light on, and that was dangerous too!

Didn’t know about this, I may submit some tracks.

Sounding like Richard Rahl and The Sword of Truth now. (Please don’t hate me the first 3-4 books were good…)

You should play my song, Angry Desire. Lots of drums and a repeating main synth. Also it’s awesome.

Oilers ain’t going nowhere if my Stars put 'em to bed! LET’S GO STARS!

Ehh shit smells bad but burnt shit is 5 times worse!

This is so apt, I’m not a Linux user but I’ve seen so many on Lemmy this fits. One day I may join y’all… One day.

I haven’t used Lemmy to promote myself until now, but check me out: www.thassodar.com

All my songs have no words, vary from chill to drum and bass, and I’ve been making them for about 4 years. My most recent EP is primarily chill, and my SoundCloud has the latest 4 tracks I put out last month.

There’s a local bowling alley I went to as a kid. I didn’t go back until 2-3 years after the indoor cigarette ban. Once I went in I immediately said “Something’s different…”

Then someone said there’s no more smoke, that was my Aha! moment.

So many fond memories of running the XP beta more than a year past the official release lol

*Forgot to add finding alternative ways to update the beta version to the release version patches was fun, too

All these posts about Linux have me curious, especially because I just updated my hardware and have enough parts leftover to make a new PC. My main PC still has to run Windows because I use Ableton for music, but you guys are making me want to make the 2nd PC Linux just for shits and giggles. Especially if it plays well with Nvidia, my old card is a 2070.

It just won’t take 20 years like Ash…

Had to take my Corgi to training to get her off the “treat based” rewards. The first 6 months we had her it was the only way to get her to do something.

Tissue paper is an item, Kleenex is a brand. They’re both interchangeable in the US.

I need to look into this, I was heavily invested in the Adept and Xanth series, and finding book 2 of Bio of a Space Tyrant, physically, is near impossible. I had no idea he was wrapped in any kind of controversy, but to be fair I haven’t kept up with him in over a decade.
