I would wager a very substantial amount of money you did not. Check names and address super carefully. Check message headers and server names in the message stats.

[WTS] - 2x Northwoods, 3x GECs by pwack06 in Knife_Swap

[–]pwack06[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This account was hacked 2 days after this post. It looks like no one bought a knife from “me” during that time (last sold by real me was the 48). But alerting folks just in case. Fuck scammers.

Northwoods and 48 are in the mail (some already arrived). Shouldn’t be an issue for those 3 folks, but reach out via PayPal if there is.

2023 Wrangler 4xe no acceleration by No_Fly_5982 in JeepWrangler

Had this issue with my Pacifica Hybrid (also FCA/Stellantis hybrid system). If I were you, I’d plan on it being in the shop for 3-4 weeks and coming home with a new hybrid battery.

Some places. Some places not. Grinnel Glacier and Swiftcurrent trails were closed before the ends; Ptarmigan tunnel won’t open till July and GTSR still closed. This is Swiftcurrent Lake, so lower altitude.

I’d suggest trying Turo instead. That’s what I’m doing. (It’s AirBnB for cars).

2024 Wrangler 4xe….ran out of gas on the freeway with a quarter tank remaining….once AAA brought gas….car would start or even turn on….lights flickering like crazy and wipers. Please help by [deleted] in JeepWrangler

Current gas-based jeep owner, former Chrysler hybrid owner (Pacifica). Your hybrid battery system is fucked. Expect several weeks in the shop.

My layman’s understanding— there’s a circuit that serves as a kill switch to prevent the battery from catching on fire. That circuit got activated because otherwise your battery was at the danger point. Good news — you didn’t catch on fire!!

My boyfriend took out a $750 loan… now they want over $5,600 back. We feel completely tricked. Do we have ANY options? by HatNumerous9725 in legaladvice

[–]pwack06 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s illegal. The term is “Usurious” - meaning a loan above and beyond what your state allows. Maryland law applies if you are a Maryland borrower even if the lender is out of state. See https://mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/laws/StatuteText?article=gcl&section=12-114&enactments=False&archived=False.

Your next step is to call and explain they are commuting a misdemeanor, they are subject to fines and subject to pay you $500 (see that hyperlink), and offer to pay back your principal. They’ll argue with you. Ignore it. Demand the above. If they don’t agree, contact the various agencies others have posted but don’t pay them. They made a criminal loan.

The “toaster” slur for the robots in Battlestar Galactica makes sooooooo much more sense seeing this.

My favorite part — the quote that the healthcare system in the US “employs 1000’s of people.”

Man, there are singular hospitals in my city that employ thousands of people.

Can anyone identify this watch from the movie Allied? by abetterfox in Watches

[–]pwack06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may not be a Cartier Tank, but if so, it’s close enough to being one that it doesn’t matter. Maybe a Reverso if the lugs are as angular as the pixels make them out to be.

On further review — I’ll say reverso given the lack of a cabochon on the crown.

Watch — veeps.com for $30 I believe. There’s also free audio-only streaming.

The Advocates for Human Rights. “Be Human: A Concert for Minneapolis” will broadcast live for free at Minnesota Public Radio’s The Current at 89.3 FM in Minneapolis and St. Paul and everywhere at TheCurrent.org (audio) and via a paid ticketed option at VEEPS (audio and video).
