If it is in rust, then probably yes

Minimum word counts are just stupid, if I can explain what I need too, with the correct amount of detail, in 100 less words than necessary, why shouldn't I be able to?

The used car market is so terrible where I live that I bought a 1999 Subaru Forester L with a completely trashed engine that could barely make it a block without overheating. I got it for around $200 in "scrap material" (Luckily the title wasn't a salvage yet).
So I completely took the engine apart myself and put in new head gaskets, pumps, belts, electronics and all that noise. I took it as a challenge to myself since my old cars' engine had completely stopped starting and absolutely nothing got it working again, and I had wanted to prove that I could fix a fucked up car. It took 2 months, but I saved so much money not buying an overpriced piece of trash that seems to saturate the used market right now. (Seriously? $6,000 for a beat up 30 year old sedan? Is everyone selling these cars insane?).
And the best part is that the total cost of this Subaru + all the parts needed was 1,700!
To put it in perspective I had found someone selling a 2002 Subaru Forester L for 3,000 on the side of the road. I could probably make a business out of this if I wasn't so slow...
Never did figure out what was wrong with the old car, we just ended up scrapping it because it was a complete lost cause. But if this were pre-pandemic I wouldn't have had to do that at all. I would've just slapped over 2,000 for a piece of garbage that needs some maintenance, and be on my way, no need for scrap diving, brain rotting and time wasting.
Some of the conservative psychopaths are so adamant against them because they are "too big", or think they make noise? Like do these idiots think that the turbines make wind???
Many digital typewriters were just 6502 or z80s with a keyboard and type wheel slapped on, no connectors needed for those either
RJ-45 for my compaq portable keyboard, nothing else will suffice
I have dreams where I'm stressing so much that I grind my teeth, and then they start crumbling and everytime I chew I break my teeth apart more
Artemis is getting its public beta soon, so an apollo esc app with kbins microblog and lemmy support makes it worthwhile to stick around
The no text mode could very well be a nvidia issue, I gave up on using their cards some time ago when Wayland came out and nvidia was slow as hell on the uptake. Nvidia cards in general have more wacky bugs outside of the normal gui environments they were designed for. I had a 1050ti that would only display text mode in 320x240 mode with the proprietary drivers, and then would only display on one screen with the open sauce ones. Overall after switching to AMD I havent had any driver bugs besides the ones related to ryzen APUs locking up when switching power states, and that's been resolved for a little over a month. But I do understand why NVIDIA is the preferred choice for a lot, the performance difference is very real
What graphics card do you use, and also what kind of cable? Sometimes when using dvi in hdmi compat mode it cannot read the displays information and defaults to rendering with basic vesa drivers, or just defaulting to the smallest size to at least make sure that you have a picture
I have no choice but to do this in my current car, the transmission is fucked and if I accelerate too fast it slips and I don't go any faster. So I slowly go to the speed limit and slowly slow to a slow stop
