halucination happens anyway, constantly, it's why they have the little disclaimers about checking facts everywhere. at least there's a counter-balance to the wikipedos this way, though.

it's jizzmodo,(part of the same gawker network that used to run kotaku) so no surprise there. only reason i even saw the story is it popped up in the start page for firefox. caught the headline first, then saw who it was from.

hate to ruin the joke, but male pattern baldness has to do with your maternal grandfather, not what swings (or doesn't) between your legs, lol.

Agreed, I'm just saying you don't have to be a gearhead to change your own fluids, especially in the age of the Internet.

Knowledge is easy to come by.

unironically, my truck is my toolbox... whatever fits in the steel box behind the seat goes in there, everything else gets tossed back there however i can fit it.

cant find shit otherwise, lol.

a little diy might help.

strip the old varnish/veneer and refinish, give it a new look. if the bed's a four-poster (not likely, but who knows?) maybe get/make new post tops.

You could at least make it into something worth a second glance.

like the u/Butttoucha9k said, you have to learn what you're doing.

a big job like an engine? ask around at the autoparts store. some farmer probably has a side hustle and can help you out.

fluids, tires, brakes, lights, alternators, belts, etc? youtube and an autoparts store will give you all the info you need. hell, half the time, one of the guys will help you if it's something simple like a battery or a blown taillight. and I'm not even talking mom and pop. i'm talking oreillys or autozone.

keep in mind, i'm not a car guy at all. i appreciate them immensely, but i'm more familiar with the guts of a computer than the guts of a car, and i still do most of my own maintenance.

a little trick that still works sometimes: go to an autoparts store and ask if they know anybody who can do repairs relatively cheap. they'll probably charge you a bit more for a royal pain in the ass newer vehicle, but there's usually some farmer or whatever with a side hustle who'll hook you up if you can't do the job yourself.

how i got the engine replaced in my 98 mazda b3000.

had a similar problem with brave's leo ai until i forced it to look at recent data.

what's weird is because of the way leo operates, the search based results, which are usually garbage, got the right answer, but the more conversational answers insisted on answering wrong. (i know, it's because of the cutoff date of the training data, etc, still weird if entirely expected behavior).

but yeah, you have to get it to concede that a source it trusts, then get it to follow a link from that source, or else it reverts to training data and 'fact checker' mode, which assumes if the data isn't in the training data, it isn't true.
