Dude. Random ass question but you’re my only
          Hope (don’t worry it can be answered whenever I just need it for future reference snd I don’t trust good and you’re the only person I know who knows cars
          
          Can you tell what kind of engine a car has from its “VIN” number?

Rainyjoi2009

@Always_Indigo alright yeah, give me the VIN number and pic under the hood if you can

@Always_Indigo well it depends on the manufacturer i'm pretty sure. i've only been taught how to calculate the year accurately from the vin since that's the only important one for me to know since most of the programs we use have automatic decoders- but like. i could probably tell what engine type it is if you sent me a picture. also if you looked at the specific model/year online it would tell you what engine the car has

@Rainyjoi2009 the only reason why it’s not working on my end is because I cannot physically force you through the screen. if I could, I would find increasingly annoying yet elaborate ways to get you to sleep.

i have a genuine question for those that this applies to 
          
          for the people who have ever had a really close friend who has experienced loss in their immediate family during the time that you've known them, is there something specific you did to help? i'm not going into detail, because it's of course really personal, but one of my best friends recently had something severe happen and i'm struggling to find ways to support her that will actually matter. before i knew exactly what was wrong i had sort of noticed something was off so i had written her a note letting her know i was here if she needed anything, and i got her a small stuffie of her favorite animal, but other than things like that i have no clue what to do but i really want to help without prying too far into the situation
          
          any advice? i'll take anything, really

@Rainyjoi2009 a while ago, my friend lost her grandfather and while we were a lot younger, I saw the best thing I could do was just try and be there. Ask if there's anything I can do and try and lift their spirits by doing little things like giving her extra snacks or cookies that my family made. Just letting her know that there is that shoulder to lean on. For her, and this isn't for everyone since we all grieve differently, it helped for her to open up about it and anytime that she would I'd always stop whatever I was saying to give my undivided attention.
            
            Of course, we all experience grief differently and handle it in our own ways, but I'd say maybe making them something or giving them a sweet treat would be a nice gesture to let them know "hey I'm always here if you want to talk." when I lost my own grandfather recently, she did the same thing for me and hugged me to let me know that she was always there. I didn't really call her that often about it since I wasn't that effected, but it was nice to know that she was there.
            
            So in the end despite her being more emotional and me being way more chill about when we each lost a family member, it was still nice to know that we had each other and we looked out for each other. Just checking in and asking how the other is doing.
            
            Just like anything else, a simple "how are you today" can go a long way.

@Rainyjoi2009 honestly, just being there for them is the best thing you could ever do for them. let them know you're in their corner, that they can come to you with whatever they need. it's ultimately up to them to reach out for help, but i'm positive that just checking up on them and letting them know that you're still here will be more than enough to make them feel better
