I am taking the plunge into a next gen and I have a question.

I started my Cruze journey with a 2014 2.0l Turbo LT. I would talk smack about her, but it isn't her fault. I found this sub about a year into my journey with her, so I realized quickly they all kind of had the same issues. it wasn't how she was raised, it was her genetics. Flash forward 7 or 8 years and I am getting into a 2017 next gen. The timing belt did some skipping and an opportunity arose. SO to my question- What would be the common issues the next generation of Chevy Cruze has to offer me? What am I in store for? A little old lady sold it to me and she was absolutely routine with everything. 130k on the clock. I still own the other one, just took it off the road for the time being, I guess.

Please tell me if this is the place for this or not, or maybe where to go with it?

A long time ago my brother gave me this pet cam thing on wheels called a VAVAPET. He gave it to me because the company had abandoned the thing and you couldn't find the app to use it anywhere and he isn't a tech lover. So this has sat in my storage until recently when I came across it and decided it would be a good thing to try to put an AI inside of and use it like an AI pet or, assistant? Idk what, but I have spent a lot of time on it and I was wondering if anyone had any advice? someone I might be able to bounce things off? I have 2 rpi's and esp32 ....My thought was, I could basically just give the thing a brain as it already has all the working components. Come to find out it's main board runs on a rooted android system. I have a Galaxy s21 ultra to dedicate to running the local LLM. It has cameras and sensors, I have supplemental ones I can use as well. Anyone? HERE is a link to the thing if anyone is interested.

  • Sometimes I call because you don't want to

Would someone (anyone) who might have an in depth knowledge of what it takes to create a new creature breed....please? (technical stuff)

I keep hitting a wall, and I am ideally looking for a guide that states from beginning to end VERY SPECIFICALLY what is needed to create my own creature breed. I have scoured the sites and what I am looking for doesn't seem to exist..... thank you in advance

I suppose saying goodbye was inevitable.....

Sadly, I think it’s time to let go of my 2014 Cruze. I’ve posted about it here recently, so some of you may have seen my saga with it. The timing chain skipped, and at this point I just don’t think it makes sense to keep putting money into it.

I’m looking pretty seriously at a 2017 Cruze LT with 109k miles and wanted to pick the brains of people here who know these cars better than I do.

It’s a one-owner car, owned by a little old lady who seems to have taken very good care of it. From everything I can see, it was maintained well and definitely wasn’t abused. I know the 2017 is the second-generation Cruze and is a pretty different animal from my 2014, so I’m wondering:

What should I specifically be looking for before buying one with 109k on it?

Any common problems with the 2017 LT that tend to show up around this mileage?

Anything I should listen for, check underneath, look for in the service history, etc.?

And for those of you who have owned both generations, how do you feel about the Gen 2 compared to the Gen 1?

Really, I’ll take any advice at all.

I’m also weirdly at a loss about what to do with my old 2014. It only has about 130k miles, and I took really good care of that car. It honestly bothers me to think of just scrapping it because, aside from the timing chain situation, it’s been cared for its entire life. I don’t know if there’s enough value there for someone who works on these cars, wants it for parts, wants a project, etc.

It’s kind of bittersweet. That 2014 and I have been through a lot together, but I think I’m ready to move on.

Would love to hear from the Cruze hive mind before I pull the trigger on the 2017.

(try this again) I went to my father's this past weekend and he gifted me with a "brick" from the foundation that helped us get to where we are today!

BEHOLD! My father gifted me with this the other day. He told me it is where the term we kids use nowadays as "bricked" (when it comes to electronics anyway) use. I did some research and am on the fence about whether or not that it is true. You can form your own opinion about that. It is a 5mb Hard drive from the year of our lord 1985. As told to me, it was one of the "big ones". I just thought that you guys muight enjoy it!

What are some common things do you think a person making their first build wouldn't think of or in hindsight WISH you had?

I am on my very first build and really any advice would be great!

[For Hire] I'll call them

[FOR HIRE] I make phone calls so you don't have to.

The situation: The breakup you've been rehearsing in the shower. The money conversation you keep almost starting. The customer service call you'd rather eat glass than make.

You know what you need to say. You're just not going to say it yourself.

What I do: I call people on your behalf—and I sound like an actual human, not a script or a bot. I handle breakups, money asks, customer service escalations, landlord disputes, roommate confrontations, and all those "this is genuinely weird but can you help" situations.

I'm good at sounding calm when everything on your end is chaos. I take direction well. I know when to push and when to back off. And it's completely discreet—what we discuss stays between us.

Why this matters: Most people don't think to hire someone to make a phone call. So they don't. Instead they sit with it. They put it off. They make a grocery list. They doom scroll. They tell themselves tomorrow. They lose sleep.

Then the thing gets bigger and scarier and the window closes.

How it works: $20 flat for most calls. Longer or more complex situations—we talk about the rate first. No surprises.

To get started: Call or text: (518) 412-2323 (business line) Email: Imakethecallforyou@gmail.com

Tell me what's going on. Tell me the tone you want. Tell me what you're hoping for. If you have no idea how to describe it, send me the messy version. We'll figure it out together.

You could also:

  • Practice what you're going to say before you say it for real
  • Have someone on the line while you're doing something that sucks
  • Get a Santa call for your kid on Christmas morning

I can do all of that.

That phone call you keep avoiding?

Let me make it. You go breathe.

I am having trouble with my new creature breed, anyone have any sage advice perhaps?

I am having difficulty getting the positions of the limbs correct as well as movements.....You know how sometimes you have a lil guy with a head that is completely off it's body, or arms too closely knit. I was wondering if there was like a reference guide? or if just a diagram I might be able to use as a sort of template? I am using the tools that are available to download...My computer doesn't like them, but, it's been a journey to say the least. I want to bring the new norn to life in your worlds! I just want it to be good. haha thanks in advance

[FOR HIRE] I'll make the call you didn't know you could hire someone to make.

Got a situation that needs handling? Need someone to talk to? Wanna bounce some ideas off of someone impartial?

The breakup you've been rehearsing in the shower. The money conversation you keep almost starting. The customer service call you'd rather eat glass than make.

I'm JR. I make those calls for you.

I'm US-based, I sound like an actual human (not a robot, not a script), and I'm good at sounding calm when everything on your end is chaos. I've handled breakups, money asks, customer service escalations, landlord issues, awkward roommate convos, and all those "this is genuinely weird but can you help" situations.

But here's the thing. Most people don't think to hire someone to make a phone call. So they don't.

Instead they sit with it. They put it off. They make a grocery list instead. They doom scroll. They tell themselves they'll do it tomorrow. They lose sleep over it.

That's where I come in.

Maybe you need to break up with someone but the thought of that conversation makes your chest tight. Maybe someone owes you money and you hate confrontation. Maybe you need someone to call your bank. Maybe you need something personal resolved. Maybe you need to call a business and you know you're going to get transferred four times and you'll just give up. Maybe you need to have a tough talk with a roommate or a landlord or someone else and you keep chickening out.

Maybe you just need to practice what you're going to say before you say it for real.

Maybe you just need another person on the line while you're doing something that sucks.

Or maybe you need a Santa call for your kid on Christmas morning.

I can do all of that. And it's completely discreet. No judgment. Nothing gets talked about.

Rates:
$20 flat for most calls. Longer or more complicated stuff, we talk about the rate first. No surprises.

How to start:
