I live in the PNW of Canada. It’s expensive, but I love it here and wouldn’t move unless I absolutely had to.

Unsure if AI image, or product of horrific work environment…

As a certified electrician, this logic also works the other way. I wire things. I don’t know why your PC won’t boot. Yes your computer uses electricity, but this is not my professional forté.

My dad likes to tinker with stuff, and he’s a pretty mechanically inclined guy.

He pulled an old shitty lawnmower out of a scrap metal bin, and made a motorized bar stool. The bloody thing rips across his shop at like 20km/h!

I don’t know where I was going with that, but scrap metal bins are a gold mine for free shit to tinker with. Good luck brother

A heat gun to expand the metal and a rubber mallet or block of wood with a hammer to try and tap the handle would be my least destructive suggestion. You could try and use a pry bar, but you’ll run the risk of cracking a tile.

I think I’d give my former suggestion a solid shot before trying anything that could cause damage.

Sounds like things going right is karmic justice for doing your best to support the ones you care for. Good on you mate. Hope all is well.

That’s funny, it’s the opposite for me. Got into Satisfactory, loved it. Buddy bought me factorio, and now Satisfactory seems like an extremely feature-neutered version of Factorio.

It’ll generally default to C drive on Windows. Most of the time, you’d click “browse” and select another drive.
