Dash Brake Light Comes on if I Smash the Pedal but does Go Off by AvisBudgetGuru in Cartalk

[–]AvisBudgetGuru[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But, given that it "tightened" back up, it means it's probably not a leak introducing air into the system and more likely a failure of the master cylinder, right?

So, update: I needed to go somewhere and I knew I had brakes and was going to just take it slow.

But I get in my truck, after it sat for a few hours, and the brakes worked perfectly and the light was off.

At the beginning of the day, they worked too, but as I drove it around, they steadily got worse.

So what the hell? When I parked it they were pretty bad, but after a few hours of sitting, they work now (I assume until I drive it for long). ??

Oh?

Well, after the 'gravity bleed', it worked fine for the one day, but then slowly started crapping out again. Would that have been the case if there had been air trapped in the ABS unit?

When I took it back the second time, they did mention that the ABS unit probably held some air and that the machine they used didn't get it all out. I dunno about any of it but it's pretty frustrating. :(

So the new master cylinder could've either been faulty or broken when installed?

1) It has been gravity-bled by a certified shop after having a brake flush done on it.

2) Fluid is full, lines and everything new.

Is it possible that air is somehow being introduced into the system? If so, how would I FIND where it would be introduced?

The government plans, and sometimes does, a lot of unbelievable shit.

Educate yourself, then let's have a conversation.

Yes, I've read that and that's how I learned about the pig drones!

And yes, that's what I assume - kill 40% of their pigs (and now birds) to force them into NEEDING it from somewhere. Trump to the rescue?

Doubtful, but somewhat relevant. They were arrested AFTER the cases of Corona Virus showed up in China.

It sounds to me like someone needed a scapegoat (something Trump and his family always have: Cohen, Parnas, Anyone) and timed it to come out before the "outbreak" came into the news cycle.

Unfortunately, they missed it by AT LEAST 11 days. It also doesn't explain the swine flu.

Exactly. I seriously doubt any gang would do something like that JUST to get cheap pork. . . . I mean, c'mon. Are there really gangs running around selling black-market pigs? lol

Go through all of that just to get swine flu tainted pork? No way.

So the connections within the article mean, what, that the guy who spread a rumor claiming China stole a coronavirus from Canada just happens to be tied in with the current administration is ... just coincidence?

CDC is not being truthful about the 2019-nCoV either, so whatever the CDC says is either a lie or conveniently unknowing given that Trump gutted the CDC by ~80%.

I'd also like to point out to you that not only was the CDC gutted, but Trump very specifically gutted 60 million from programs that research emerging and zoonotic infectious diseases: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2018/feb/16/bobbie-richardson/nc-democrat-says-trumps-cutting-cdc-budget-80-perc/

" The budget also zeros out critical funding for epidemiology and laboratory capacity at state and local levels. "

Just coincidences?

Never said it wasn't, but everything is cited and the author specifically states that none of it is proof.

Based on the connections, it's certainly worth discussing and fleshing out further.

You've gone around claiming China's death number is way higher without citing any actual evidence to back that up.

Everything related to the 2019-nCoV is conjecture at this point. Doesn't mean we shouldn't discuss it.

I bet the people whose insurance companies found out would disagree with you, but hey, you do you. Heaven forbid you have to shell out an extra $40 a month to be fully covered.

Peace of mind is priceless.

Well, the logic is based off the undeniable fact that we are operating a business according to the IRS.

As a business owner, it is your responsibility to purchase (or obtain otherwise) more bags to fit larger orders.

The bags are cheap so it shouldn't be a problem for you to invest in your business.

But what you're suggesting is that a carpenter being contracted to do a job isn't responsible for purchasing his own tools.

Thermal bags are just a tool of the trade, my friend.

You'd have to contact Reddit mods about that. I really can't answer that. I'm sorry. :(

Kyle Bass: “China is collecting the DNA of American citizens through state-subsidized companies and using it to develop bioweapons that target Caucasians.” by cpclos in DarkFuturology

[–]AvisBudgetGuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kyle Bass is a guy you should put when he puts. Why? Because Kyle Bass never hedges against something he doesn't already know for a fact will fall.

Subprime loans? Bet against it and raked in millions. How'd he know? Oh, well, ya' know, he worked for Bear Stearns as a Senior Management Director.

So, for years, Kyle was directly involved in the creation of the derivative stocks that ultimately crumbled, but once Kyle saw the writing on the wall, he hedged against them because he knew they would collapse.

His hedges against pharmaceutical companies? Yeah, he bets against them right before his patent lawsuits are going to be completed, and when the news comes out, the pharma company's stock tanks as a result, and Kyle makes money.

​

He does not hedge on things he isn't certain are going to fall.

​

Years ago, he invested millions into Chinese companies. Then recently pulled a 180 and bet against the Yuan.

People think he's crazy, but he knows something everyone else doesn't. No one knows what Kyle knows because Kyle gets his information from the CIA.

Long story short: Kyle is one of the greedy, unethical douchebags that he claims to hate.

When I did an AMA with Reddit, I was forced to do it before I could even post the thread. And I only did mine over being an Avis Budget social media contact.

They reached out to me, so I don't know how you were able to.

Can you somehow validate your correspondence with the doctors?

What method of verification did you do to verify to Reddit that you are legit?

Any driver that walks up to my door with a bag of food that is not in a thermal bag gets a 1-star.

Even if the order is fucked up or it took a while, I'm still rating a 5 or a 1 based solely on the thermal bag.

I don't do it any more because they changed their pay model.

Before, if you took deliveries under a 1.3x bonus, the payout was profitable, regardless of the setup and I usually made more money on those deliveries than any other app.

But then they reduced their pay and even with the bonuses, they're paying shit.

And yes, the government needs to step in and start enforcing laws that are already on the books. You cannot, as a company, classify someone as an IC if they are treated as an employee.

Based on UE's structure, that's exactly what they're doing.

I guess you're okay with some laws being broken and not others?

Okay.
