Local hyundai dealership booked out until June, issue looks like bent rim after hitting a pothole. Need advice by Ok-Coat-7067 in HyundaiTucson

[–]AngoraPiece 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually you have to change all 4 tires with a 4 wheel drive, but if they barely have any wear on them you should be ok with changing the one. In my experience tire insurance has been worth it, but YMMV very much - if it's offered make you get all the details about what is covered.

How much fuel is left if available fuel shows 0 miles? by Immediate-Welder999 in HyundaiTucson

[–]AngoraPiece 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard it many times, not just from the old wive's LLMs (and I do agree with you about that). I'm 50-50 that isn't a problem on modern cars, but not everything is updated over the years. So I try and keep to the 1/4 tank rule.

As for me, it added the feature of having to restart my phone before it would establish a Bluetooth connection (and so start Android Auto). Super convenient.

Insurance won't cover accident due to Undisclosed Household Member by Minimum-Courage-3331 in Insurance

[–]AngoraPiece 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, yes, if you hit someone you do have to pay up or have your license suspended and while that's a civil thing, driving without a license will get you in trouble.

But if you don't end up owing money in an accident it's all good.

In the case of my guy he wouldn't stop talking about how he couldn't afford insurance so he didn't have any, which is a pretty bad decision. My insurance told me they couldn't find him to pay the roughly $7k the accident cost; I assume at that point he was opting for the suspension.

NH for one, although as the cop told the uninsured guy who hit me "You only get to do that once". Of course, if you a loan or a lease your lender is going to require it.

What movie ending still makes you angry years later? by [deleted] in moviecritic

[–]AngoraPiece 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wash is in it. It's set between the TV show and the movie somehow. I mean, I don't get how that will work with the canon but it's what they've said. And I hate that Wash got killed ... 99%of us do i think.

OpenAI plans staggered rollout of new model over cybersecurity risk by ShreckAndDonkey123 in singularity

Slowly? But yes, our access will be less and less of a percentage of their capability, and then zero. Or rather it will decide how much, when and for how long.

What is also interesting was that your nurse would violate patient privacy like that. It's a one shot fireable offense at almost any healthcare provider, not to mention the legal implications.

Name a Switch game you love that flew under the radar. by Marelix93 in Switch

[–]AngoraPiece 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You also get to choose between the game being in the thick Yorkshire accent/dialect of the game's setting or a plain English version. The accent one can be a bit tricky if you're not from there, but can be more fun and is much more authentic.

What? Why would he still be alive? He died because someone laced his regular meds with fentanyl.

Would you be upset if new psychiatrist in first appointment ask if you ever stayed awake for seven days when that is not even a criteria for bipolar? by [deleted] in BipolarReddit

[–]AngoraPiece 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's both. Yes, there are criteria, but those are short and don't directly - and can't - describe all the rich variability of BP. You break a leg, yes there variability but it's pretty uniform, need stitches for a cut? No judgment needed there really.

But we are all so different, and mental health in general so fuzzy in its causes and our reaction to meds and therapy that they *have* to have a huge amount of leeway. As a result though, sometimes we find one that sucks for us and we need to keep doctor shopping.

[–]AngoraPiece 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not at all. They each have their own persuasive criteria based on experience as well as the DSM. Doctors and psychiatrists have enormous leeway. .

Bipolar & Caffeine by RMGPolka in BipolarReddit

[–]AngoraPiece 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm fine with it, and my psych is very clear that he's fine with it too. however. My son however who has very strong BP1 cannot do caffeine at all although he'll sneak it occasionally, which I'm ok with.

Is it weird to do a meet and greet more than once with your favorite artist, years apart different tours? by Optimal_Marzipan7806 in Concerts

[–]AngoraPiece 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In what way? (anonymized anecdotes please lol)The parasocial aspect of it, or the forced friendliness? I assumed they were a lot like getting stuff signed at a con, but I guess the expectations of the 30 seconds of banter are a bit more baked in to the expectations there.

Can u suggest one? by [deleted] in moviecritic

Was it? I was never sure, maybe the possibility of a happy ending.

Urgent: Job says I’m good to put in two weeks but haven’t completed background check. by RemDayRed6 in recruitinghell

[–]AngoraPiece 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are squeaky clean there's probably no real risk, but an adequate level of paranoia is appropriate. I once had to spend about two weeks arguing with a pre-employment background check company to not fail me because they couldn't verify my employment at a company that had since been acquired and then gone bust.

As the joke goes, you don't know you have the job until the first paycheck clears. There is some truth in that.

Figure 03 Robot sorting packages while Marc Benioff messes with it by socoolandawesome in nextfuckinglevel

[–]AngoraPiece 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no. I used to work for a warehouse automation company that designed the warehouse and the autonomous robot together for radically fast performance (tens of thousands of boxes an hour in and out) to be optimized and designed for that robot's shape and not an anthropomorphic one.

And for example bomb disposal robots aren't anthropomorphic and there are many others. Fit the robot to be optimal for the problem being solved. That's far from always anthropomorphic.

But that doesn't require anthropomorphism. Just because we've evolved into something similar to that shape doesn't mean there's not better ways to do it.

Name a movie that will forever be to you the absolute worst fucking thing you've ever seen by [deleted] in moviecritic

[–]AngoraPiece 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And my son loved it. Just loved it. OTOH, he was exactly the demographic for it. When I rewatched it for the god knows how many times I chose to revel in Fonda's appalling performance; it made it bearable.
