It's a good idea to change your oil every 12 months even if you don't reach the mileage for the maintenance interval. The heat cycles from the engine creates condensation in the engine and the water reacts with the petroleum in the oil and produces some not nice stuff. I haven't been reaching my interval but my car will still beep at me 30 days before the last oil monitor reset.

Not having access to publicfreakouts here has probably improved my health. One community I wish was stronger here is idiotsincars. The only subreddits I still read are askcarsales, justrolledintotheshop, and idiotsincars because I do not see them moving to a different platform anytime soon. I don't mind them being on reddit because they are good communities. Kind of stinks though because I don't participate there anymore. I still check them once or twice a day like I am trying to do with Lemmy to reduce my exposure to bullshit.

The pricing and resale structure for "full self driving" is insane and anti-consumer so I lean towards enabling the software with a jailbreak not being a horrible thing. I certainly would have no issue with this being done on a used car that had the paid "full self driving" software removed by the mothership.

This is a new found perspective I've been trying to act on and it keeps me "happy" in the sense of being content. SSRIs helped me come out of a dark place and find that baseline and appreciate that what I have is just fine. I've been off them for a good 4-5 months now and have been able to keep acting on this perspective. Reducing the amount I drink and smoke has also really helped me stay at baseline. I was not consuming these things with my best interest in mind. I am better off only having these things in my home for special events.

I've got my little place to live, my cat, my little hobbies, and I go on my daily little walk. That's just fine and enough to be content. I'm comfortable and don't need much more. I don't really need to search for bliss all the time. I'll save that for a concert, food festival, hanging out with good friends, playing a new game, etc.

It's probably in his interest to stop pulling dick moves. Sometimes you shouldn't do things that you are able to do.

I'm seeing a technical death metal and brutal death metal show at a tiny venue that has 90s WWE on the bar TV and serves $3 beers. The kind of place where you are 2 feet from the musicians. Defeated Sanity from Germany and Stabbing from Texas are at the top of the bill. Two others at the bottom I have not heard yet.

I use it after cleaning the impeller on my aquarium filters. They naturally collect goop around the magnet bit of the impeller which makes them quiet, but eventually there will be too much goop and they stop spinning or make a horrible racket. If you clean it off all the way it will buzz and rattle for a while. A big blob of vaseline will quiet it down until the goop builds back up.

Netflix just fucking sucks now. It has killed me off it's service. We have been subscribed since 2012 and I'll occasionally search something I don't have on my home media server and the search will autocomplete what I'm typing, but not actually show the content I want. It will display some other related garbage. I can't imagine paying monthly and suffering through ads for this experience.
