Cracked coolant port(s) in the cylinder head usually. Although, I’ve seen people put washer fluid in power steering reservoirs. So yeah pouring coolant directly into the engine could also result in this nightmare.
/Also in modern cars, the liquid/liquid oil coolers fail surprisingly often.

And the OG Playstation was a cheap CD player. There’s still a cult following for the “audiophile” variant.

- Comment on Data from the 2023 Insomniac leak showed that most first party Playstation games sold more physical discs than digital copies 1 week ago:
Yeah I gave up on Nintendo when they started the virtual card BS. Got myself a second Switch, mod chipped it, and stuck a 512GB microSD card in it. Now I have all the games I’ve purchased (and some I haven’t) ready to go.

Yeah just back up your files guys… The mega corpos definitely won’t just randomly delete your backups and tell you to kick rocks.
Back it up locally, sure, but how many average users follow (let alone know about) basic data preservation principles? 3,2,1? Not going to happen. It’ll be a single 5TB SMR external HDD with no redundancies or integrity checks.
Even continued access to a game you own is not guaranteed these days. The disc is useless if the server no longer has the other 30% of the game files needed to boot the game.
If there were $5 2TB optical discs, we could actually own all of the game and it’s launch files. It would also be great for piracy and sharing 4K movies and shows. This isn’t a pipe dream, they (optical media manufacturers) could make this technology a reality (with enough backing/incentive), they (media and games lobbies) don’t want them to.

- Comment on Physical copy of GTA VI has arrived 2 weeks ago:
With the current prices of SSDs it would be one very expensive game. $80 for the base game + ~$80 for a 512gb SSD… Ouch. Though I would 100% buy it for the novelty and just to own a physical copy instead of some randomly generated code.

Also, maybe a deal breaker for some is they don’t do port forwarding any more (well, for a long time now).
- Comment on Honestly impressive how pharmacies are able to find a new type of problem every time I go to pick up my meds 2 months ago:
Australian here, I’m on 7 meds and 4 of them are in bottles. Not the orange pharmacy bottles either, the manufacturer packaging. Common medications too, beta blockers, BP medication, Lithium, etc. I use Chemist Warehouse (Our CVS/chain type pharmacy).

Yep it’s just Paracetamol (aka Acetaminophen depending on your locality). Always buy the generic, it’s the same shit in a less flashy box.
