          Ok, I’ll open another thread, then.

          REMOVED, DUPLICATE.

          Ah, the Arch forum/stack experience. Along with

          “Problem still exists like 2 years later.”

          “DON’T NECRO. CLOSED.”

    The new version of this is coming across a reddit post where it seems like OP replies “Thanks, that worked!” to “In protest of Reddit’s API changes, I have removed my comment history. Fuck u/Spez”

    Repair forum version:

    • Here are the exact bolts you need to loosen: <dead photobucket link>
    • After that make sure you note this gasket: <another dead photobucket link>
    • The replacement part is very hard to find but they carry it here: <404>
    • You’ll find the torque spec here: <domain sold to online casino advertiser>

    Bonus points if the only schematic you can find is a 256 resolution jpg on pinterest that leads to a wordpress site were a bot only posts random schematics to farm pinterest engagement.

      This has happened a few times were I find a solution on stack overflow, I go to upvote the answer and I get the error message “you can’t upvote your own post”

      Yep, that was my answer to my own question from 5 years ago

      So long as you’re willing to skip the first 8 minutes and play the next 20 seconds at 0.25 speed, where he very quickly glances over the problem, then goes on for another 10 minutes to talk about something unrelated in minute detail

    Another variation of this is when you used Google, and the responses to the post say “Use Google”, or links to lmgtfy.
