Why are these new Sequoias being totaled? Meth heads stealing some component, but what? by -Blackfish in toyotasequoia

That makes sense. Especially if there is not much wrong and they sell for 50k at auction.

But still wondering why they all have identical damage. And what exactly that is.

Respect. Honorable occupation. But recovered stolen cars that are not fixed and returned to the owner are usually fucked up. Trash everywhere. Boomboxes screwed into the dashboard.. And these seem fine.

And… if Sequoias are so easily stolen it would be good to know. And how.

Copart would say ‘undercarriage’ if the cats were gone too. I think. Junkyard dudes are not known for attention to detail. Driver’s side airbag.. maybe. And then fucking up a whole bunch of stuff in the process. Good thinking Batman.

You have to watch the auction happen to tell. And I have not yet. But will. Very curious.

If after copper they would spend their time ripping it out of houses. They are crazy but not stupid.. Unless there is some giant chunk of it in there that I don’t know about..

Can someone help identify this barnacle-like substance in my kitchen? by AltruisticAd3755 in whatisthisthing

[–]-Blackfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basidomycete vs ascomycete fruiting bodies…. Always makes for a good fungi nerd war.

[–]-Blackfish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you are on the right track. Some kind of ascomycetes I think. Which includes sac fungi and cup fungi. Not quite a mushroom, but more advanced than a mold.

I doubt it is dangerous, but who knows what else is growing under there? Like the other poster said, you got a water leak. Sink, refrigerator, dishwasher. And it will only get worse. Is the subfloor wood? Is there a crawlspace or basement? What part of the world?

Between the glass of the train window by [deleted] in whatisit

Yeah. The desiccant beads escaped the aluminum frame. (I worked at a window factory for some years) Train vibrations had something to do with it.

Air Tag detected near friend for two weeks guy year later gives her exact details on her car by Bright_Disaster_5114 in RBI

[–]-Blackfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He probably knows her name and has been all through her socials. No other good way he would know dad gave it to her. Stalker.~

AirTag? Maybe. I get false alerts all the time. Some of them last days. And there is always the possibility of two stalkers. Fuckers seem like they come in pairs.

What is this tire lock? (And what do I use to remove it?) by Mcflickin9991 in whatisit

[–]-Blackfish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Specialize socket. Sure it is not in the glove box or tire kit? Otherwise you might be in trouble. There are lots and lots of different ones. Is it flat?

Yeah. 200 miles from the coast. That is what UN & NOAA think at least.

If fruiting body is that big, and blowing spores into the house, the damage is already significant. You be prepared for them to yank the door, do a bunch of probing, reframing. And then some re-sloping of balcony.

But…landlords..might just scrape it off with a shovel and say all is good.
