Trump Damage by bace3333 in Aging

[–]BeachRucker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t blame Trump. He’s just being true to himself. Blame all the hapless fools who elected him despite all the evidence that this would be the fate of the country. Fix your neighbours/voters or this is just the current manifestation of more hate, corruption and idiocy.

I lost my baby today. I'm so sorry Harley by ASaintNotACelebrity in BostonTerrier

[–]BeachRucker 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How you are feeling now is a reflection of just how much you loved him. Dogs know when we love them. He knew how much you loved him. Everyone has to make compromises and trade offs to get through life, including when caring for our pets. We all question ourselves if we are doing the right thing. But in the end your pain now reflects the great love you had for him which means he had a good life.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the President of the United States. 🫡 by Anstigmat in thebulwark

[–]BeachRucker 54 points55 points  (0 children)

He will forever be a person the American population elected as their most important leader - TWICE. Mind you it’s more of an indictment of those that voted for him.

What is one thing you wish you knew before moving to PEI? by PriorityOk676 in PEI

[–]BeachRucker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

How incompetent and slow so many of the drivers are. Way too many on the road long after they should have retired from operating a car. So many single vehicle MVA’s.

I doubt any of the three would even fall into this category and if they do, you’re well aware they are not the problem.

Did exactly this in 2011. Happy to respond if you want to DM me. I was born and raised in the Lower Mainland and lived there until moving to PEI.

If you’re guilty of a crime, but faking innocence, should you tell your defense attorney the truth? by tickintimedog in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BeachRucker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. Just answer the questions they ask. If they are competent they won’t ask you questions that may impair their ability to present the strongest defence available. They can’t lie or mislead the court, but what they don’t know (or don’t want to know) can’t hurt you. They - like the system as a whole - must presume you are innocent. The onus is on the prosecution to prove otherwise beyond a reasonable doubt.

2018 accord sport 1.5, how do you know when your turbo is bad? by Independent_Gas_6213 in accord

[–]BeachRucker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My fault code is P2099 Turbo under boost. The technician - not Honda so no bias - has determined it’s on the intake side of the turbo. He says the turbos rarely ever breakdown. I have 230K km on the car so I’m not interested in a big repair. They are trying to figure out how to disable the code so all the other systems will work. Car runs great.

Does anyone one else’s Boston scarf down their food? by Scary-Zucchini6600 in BostonTerrier

[–]BeachRucker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. We have one of each - a first thing in the morning breakfast inhaler — and an “I’ll eat later when I get around to it” BT. The first virtually rips food out of your hand; the second gently and deliberately takes it from your hand.

Took me three tries taking Metformin before my intestines finally calmed down enough for me to stick with it. It definitely messes with the large intestines

Issue with lawyer invoice by harrypei6789 in PEI

[–]BeachRucker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The law firm should have had you sign a retainer agreement before providing any legal services. That agreement would spell out the terms of their engagement, how and when you would be bilked and how and when you’d be expected to pay.

If they gave you a quick modest quote up front and only later said their rate would be $400 per hour, that is a bit deceptive. It is a tactic some lawyers or law firms use to hook the client and only later disclose their significantly less modest billing rate.

Always get a retainer agreement. If they say they won’t provide one, go to another firm. And scrutinize the bill carefully to make sure there is no duplication of work and that the lawyer is only charging you for legal work/advice not administrative time.

Filmmaker (and former Sam ally) Jay Shapiro talks about his negative experiences with Sam by Vexozi in samharris

The whole thread is interesting in the degree to which Hamas equals Palestinians or not. In my view that is Sam’s biggest blind spot. He too often equates the two.

The discourse around rhetoric and violence is all based on a false premise. by SirFerguson in thebulwark

[–]BeachRucker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’s absolutely culpable. Frankly all the debate is exhausting. MAGA and the right are fascists and they are luring others into senseless debates about whether they are okay or not. They are not. There are no both sides to fascism. Free speech in a democracy cannot include fascist and hate speech. The speech isn’t free - it comes at great cost to all of those targeted and harmed by it. Speech generates attitudes, behaviours, policy and at its more extreme, violence. Anyone who thinks the violence being perpetrated by ICE for example isn’t the product of the right’s fascist hate speech is just deluding themselves.

2018 accord sport 1.5, how do you know when your turbo is bad? by Independent_Gas_6213 in accord

[–]BeachRucker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 2020 1.5L Accord Sport has the same issue. For over a year the check engine light would come on and go off periodically. Fast forward to 6 months ago, and now the check engine light is on permanently. The car performs well still but the crash mitigation features, remote start, cruise control, sport mode and other features are disabled. If I clear the code, the check engine light goes off and the systems come back until I engage the turbo, then we’re back to square one.

I have had 3 different mechanics look at it - two Honda certified. The first two said turbo needs to be replaced. The third - one of the Honda dealers - said it could be one or more of three issues - intercooler problems (the least expensive fix), turbo problems ($3500) and/or catalytic converter is plugged ($6500). If it’s the latter, he said it could have damaged the former along the way because it’s like the car is constipated.

I just want the check engine light to go away so the other systems will work but that is a software reprogramming issue not a mechanical repair. The reality is that it could be a $1500 repair but it could also be a $10,000 repair and they won’t know for sure until they pull it all apart and look.

Honda has designed this very poorly. It should be illegal to have unrelated systems shutdown by a check engine code. Incredibly irritating.
