Didn’t get in trouble, but did get called after class and chastised for arguing with my science teacher that her description that current electricity was useful and static electricity was useless had an exception of dusters, aren’t those useful? She was furious that I questioned her lesson and told me to accept it or shut up next time. Pretty universally hated teacher.

I appreciate a good bagpipe. Especially when they share a lot of tonal similarities with violins like this nightwish instrumental. https://youtu.be/yOxGlXmPusI

Probably multiple reasons. If it’s a throwaway account they may want to cover the tracks. If it didn’t get a response they were looking for, they may delete and recreate to avoid the double posting rules. They may have posted on the wrong account, or maybe the answer was so obvious they were embarrassed.

It should be pretty easy to pick out federal government plates, but I’m not unconvinced that they use rental cars to do the kidnapping.

I worked retail in banking, so we saw them all the time, Kevins too. Kevins mostly just yelled and belittled you, Karens would try that, then resort to made up facts. For example, Karen give us an obvious counterfeit $100 bill. We say it’s not worth anything and we legally have to keep it. She does the Karen stuff and then calms down and says, “Wait, the other teller gave it to me, so you’re responsible for the counterfeit and I’m just giving it back.” This resulted in people digging through the cameras to verify only that she received money, all in 20s… Karen had by then went to whine to her loan officer and he said to draw it out of the bank’s loan account… She got her way and wasted everyone’s time.

Don’t really see a major disagreement here other than the direction of primary exposure, belts some how being protected behind a fan when the main exposure is from the sides, etc. Puddles have a lot more corrosion potential than rain/snow. Point isn’t to seal, that’s unrealistic, but rather to deflect enough that every puddle isn’t pressure washing your engine bay with salt water. An example car where this was a major issue was a 97 galant, which had the crank shaft low and in alignment with the water jet from the driver side tire. There was a splash shield that directly intercepted the inner spray. I would classify that case as more than nominal protection.

Edit: Maybe you’re working mostly on RWD cars, could explain our misunderstanding. I mostly work on FWD Sedans and AWD SUVs

Understandable. Civics are quite well made, so I wouldn’t expect it to immediately become a rust trap from some short term splashes. Generally, mechanics will tell you other stuff is wrong, but it only matters if it’s adjacent to what they’re working on for liability. They may find some problems like a glazed dipstick from going too long between changes, but it’s just informational.

If you’re interested in putting that plate back on, my guess is that they used plastic zip ties on a metal shield. Usually, manufacturers will only use more expensive metal guards if it gets hot in that location. You can buy metal cable ties real cheap that will hold up much better. Fasteners are also cheap if you can figure out which one, but I dunno if I’d bother on a car that’s on its way out in my mind.

Recommendation is just to prioritize it before Winter weather.

Sorry your money situation is so dire. Credit can be the hell that keeps on giving.

Seems to be about money. Belts, rust damage, and engine internals cost more in the long run. Do they have to pay their credit card bill? “For the record, they don’t…” Zip ties must be expensive now days… damn tariffs.

I used to have Buddha Bar - Solitude as my alarm, but after a month or so I found myself associating it with waking up and it lost its calming effect on my morning. I’ve since resorted back to whatever my phone defaults to for minimum damage to sounds I like.

So far, it doesn’t seem like it. Eggs are expensive, but that means there’s more on the shelves. The only things I’ve seen disappear is non-black varieties of cold brew and beer grain is gone at every brewing store I’ve been to. These are probably incredibly specific to me lol

I think that question implies the misunderstanding of depression being sad or caused by a bad conclusion that’s been reached. Being depressed is a symptom of a chemical underdose of most commonly dopamine and seratonin, which robs synapses of signal integrity. The reason SSRI’s both work and take a while to improve the cycle of depression is that they “inhibit” the “reuptake” of these chemicals, resulting in more abundance and better signal transmission between neurons.

That all being said, no stress because too stupid may mean people who are depressed won’t know it unless they have a severe case. I imagine getting hurt is still pretty stressful for most stupid people though, so don’t bet on it.

Edit: Didn’t really properly talk about stress and depression. Abnormally high reuptake is largely triggered by stress. This occurs in both depressed and non-depressed people to varying degrees, but a slow recovery is specifically categorized as depression.

Depends where it came from. It’s worth going down to take a peak. You do not want water splashing against your belts. As others have said, if you live in Salt brine weather, you really don’t want that stuff anywhere near stuff that isn’t protected.

Something as powerful as an M3 at the very least could be used as a folding@home client. Other suggestions would be a rendering farm machine, a retro emulator for higher end consoles like PS3+, or part of a carputer since it’s got GPS and is quite efficient.

Can’t speak much on that, but I can tell you that I worked on the computer of someone who used high contrast settings to help them see the screen better and after visiting 3 or 4 major websites it was clear most don’t account for background gui changes and will use less code rather than forcing it, which leads to white on white or black on black text. Part of why I was there was it was getting worse, and so they got a 55" TV as a monitor, which allowed them to go back to standard windows appearance and avoid all the nonsense.

Stay in power forever.

Move all of the resources away from those they don’t like to those they do.

Subjugate women into sex objects owned by men who don’t view them as valuable outside of that framework.

Fortify their survival in luxury escape zones while dictating orders to those that made their money for them.

Start micropenis wars.

Maximize the safety of pedophiles.

Kill off the poorest Americans to lower all ships, knowing theirs will sink the least.
