It survived.

Unfortunately, this truck is likely done. It was broken into yesterday, I am jobless, it needs a new piston.....I'm just so done. Please contact me through dm's if you would like to purchase it. I cannot afford the repairs. Located in Kentucky.

2006 Ford Ranger

3.0 L V6

IT FITS

Not a truck but something sorta for my truck.....

Got this yesterday and it has rapidly turned into my most expensive "cheap" purchase in years. Bought it secondhand at a used electronics store in my area for 49.99 USD. Knew it might not fit on my camera as I use a Canon Rebel T6 and never really messed with a lens. So it doesn't fit. But that's ok, I can just buy an adapter! Another 19.99 USD later and we'll know if it fits tomorrow. Very excited to use if the adapter is perfect. Though none of my filters or macro attachments will fit......may have to find fitting ones.

Should note "cheap" here means not the 300 USD a new 50-200 lens would likely cost

Please be aware that the "opt-out" choice is just a way to try to appease people. But Tumblr has not been transparent about when has data been sold and shared with AI companies, and there are sources that confirm that data has already been shared before the toggle was even provided to users.

Also, it seems to include data they should not have been able to give under any circumstance, including that of deactivated blogs, private messages and conversations, stuff from private blogs, and so on.

Do not believe that "AI companies will honor the "opt-out request retroactively". Once they've got their hands on your data (and they have), they won't be "honoring" an opt-out option retroactively. There is no way to confirm or deny what data do they have: The fact they are completely opaque on what do they currently "own" and have, means that they can do whatever they want with it. How can you prove they have your data if they don't give everyone free access to see what they've stolen already?

So, yeah, opt out of data sharing, but be aware that this isn't stopping anyone from taking your data. They already have been taking it, before you were given that option. Go and go to Tumblr's Suppport and leave your Feedback on this (politely, but firmly- not everyone in the company is responsible for this.)

Finally: Opt out is not good under any circumstance. Deactivated people can't opt out. People who have lost their passwords can't opt out. People who can't access internet or computers can't opt out. People who had their content reposted can't opt out. Dead people can't opt out. When DeviantArt released their AI image generator, saying that it wasn't trained on people who didn't consent to it, it was proven it could easily replicate the styles of people who had passed away, as seen here. So, yeah. AI companies cannot be trusted to have any sort of respect for people's data and content, because this entire thing is just a data laundering scheme.

Please do reblog for awareness.

Ain't arguing

Mmmm winter snow

I'd like to mention something that, as a new driver, needs to be said.

Donuts in an empty parking lot are fine. Get permission, spin your heart out. It builds a useful skill. You learn how to save an out of control vehicle. This is especially good if your vehicle lacks traction control or some other useful feature.

It saved me from a bad wreck once already. I hit a patch of ice on a main road. Started spinning, but the practice kicked in. Barely went off the road instead of into the ditch. Had I not had that little bit of practice, it's entirely possible I would've frozen up and gone through that ditch. Or overreacted and gone into oncoming traffic.

It also teaches you how to avoid properly in the snow. Set up traffic cones and try to avoid them. Drive through them. This is another thing that saved me from a wreck. A car crossed the center line when I was on ice. Dodged it without spinning. Watched them slide off the road in my rear view mirror trying to avoid it.

I might be a bit strong in my opinion on this. I don't care if you disagree. Just note that it has saved me, my dad, and many people I know to have that practice.

If you see some kid you label a "hooligan" for spinning around in an empty parking lot, don't call the police. They aren't harming anyone and are, in fact, learning how to not hurt someone. It's probably the most fun way to learn how to be safe.

Push for you town to add a skid pad if you hate this. That skill could end up being a lifesaver. Maybe save your life even.

Hoping it stays like this for a while. Love driving in the snow. No traction control or weight on the rear axle? Fuck yeah, that's fun.

Some pics from when I first got this thing. Couldn't be happier with it. 3/4 are from a small shoot in early fall. One is from the second day it was actually mine.

Rangers, the little truck that will.

This is the sorta thing I love to do. Nothing massive, nothing that takes hours (although gotta admit it took nearly an hour), no preference difference. Just routine maintenance that doesn't cost much.
