I have a 2000 Dodge Caravan with the 3.3 that I am stripping out for a race. Earlier in the year, something chewed through my injector harness and this unknown connector located under the battery tray. I spliced the harness back up and it cranks but won't start - I am wondering if this connector, whatever it is, is related to that. There are two of these mounted vertically next to each other. Can I skip splicing this back up or is it mission-critical?

I live in Campbell County. Last summer, I purchased a minivan at a public auto auction in Cincinnati with a clear title. I had it towed down to Lawrenceburg, IN, where I stripped it out to enter in a demolition derby. I was able to transfer the out-of-state title to a salvage title after affirming that the vehicle would no longer be on the road or insured.

This past January, I bought another van from the same auction - clear title, no issues at all. Had it towed down to Indiana just like before and took the title to the DMV stating the same reasons. This time, however, the county clerk will not transfer the out-of-state title to a KY salvage title because there's nothing indicating tha

Trying to plan a Saturday trip from Erie, PA to Harrisburg, PA via NYC using Amtrak's online trip planner.

If I'm looking at the timetables correctly, the Lake Shore Limited #48 departs Erie around 7:20am and arrives in NYC around 6:42pm. The Keystone Service #671 looks to depart NYC around 7:53pm and arrives in Harrisburg around 11:23pm.

When trying to look up one-way fares on the Amtrak website, it says that there are no trains scheduled for that routing until the following Monday. However it seems to go through when I switch to the multi-city option. Is the multi-city mode the only way of booking two trains like this?

I'm a Kentucky resident and recently purchased a car at the police impound auction a couple of Saturdays ago. No issues there - got it towed out the same day, paid cash, and got the title in hand, which I transferred yesterday. Apparently the impound lot has been trying to send me a letter that requires a signature, and the delivery attempts keep failing since I'm not at home to sign for it. Does anyone have an idea as to what they might be trying to send my way?

Hopefully I haven't been living under a rock here. Has anyone heard of a more accurate timeline for the Western Hills Viaduct replacement? The city's webpage for it calls for "60% completion by Q3 2025" which is obviously nowhere near accurate. The page also hasn't been updated since last year.

They are making some progress on it, as the old Q Labs building at 1400 Harrison Ave. was torn down a month or so ago. I imagine the power substation directly across the railyard will probably be the next to go. Apart from that, I haven't seen any sort of construction within the railyard of anything viaduct-related. Where are they at on this?

I've heard stories of DJs who decided that the flip-side of a single, rather than the "plug side", had more potential, and eventually helped the flip-side gain so much traction that the record company started to promote it instead of the plug side.

Were disk jockeys really allowed free reign with what they played on the air? A common criticism of modern radio is that it's all based off of a precomposed playlist - but wasn't someone (like a program director) in charge of picking hit singles for the DJ to spin? Radio stations would have received a ton of new singles every day and it would be a big job to pick something worthwhile out of them, singlehandedly.

Probably a pretty dumb question, but here goes.

I am trying to input a list of photo titles into an online text-only portal (with an example file being "C:\RedlineFan\Photos\Thing1.jpg", just the "Thing1" is all I need). These are all in one folder and there are quite a lot of them. Instead of typing them all up by hand in Notepad and copying them from there (Thing1, Thing2, Thing3, etc.) I thought I'd just use the "copy as path" function in Explorer and then "find and replace" the path and file extension out in Writer.

However this doesn't seem to work as I can't get Writer to replace the backslash or period symbols. Is this possible? Better yet, is it possible to just type in the whol

Does anyone happen to know if anywhere in town would have a variety of used, basic point-and-shoot cameras? My little Nikon isn't doing so well and I am on a budget.

Dodd and Procam seem to specialize in higher-end DSLR-type equipment. I am thinking a local pawn shop might be my best bet but I don't have a clue which one would have the best selection of electronics. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
