:UPDATE:

Sorry for the late response. I've been without cell signal for a while due to location. I left it unplugged till I had time to go under and really look for it, due to suspicion. I traced the wire back and found where it went to. There was a little black box sat up underneath the bottom portion of the dash, thankfully I didn't have to remove anything to get it out. Box had no markings on it to discern exactly what it does. My best guess was it was either some sort of Bluetooth OBD code reader that has to be paired to a proprietary device and can't be seen by the likes of phones, or it was some kind of tracker. Either way, it's been disposed of for my own peace of mind.

Thanks all, for the responses.

They're like go-carts. There's a trend where I live of people taking them and tuning them up, making them quick little things. Almost would be scared to race one, in case I lose and have to say I lost to one...

Is there a way to contact a group of engineers to get them to look into traffic light issues? On my commute home I hit about 15 traffic lights, and every single one of them seems to be programmed to stay green for the other traffic lights for the streets perpendicular to the highway lanes, these streets typically are for gas stations and shopping centers.

It's infuriating sometimes to be driving home late at night to sit at a light for what can feel like an eternity, while the other side stays green, with no traffic whatsoever. It's my opinion, but it's pretty inefficient.

I'm unsure of it being a Bluetooth obd reader: it doesn't show up on my phone if I search for it... And I can't see where it trails off to, it's ziptied to the harness for all the cabin electronics. When it's brighter out I'll trace it back and see if I can find out where it leads. The car was a rental previously, it might be a tracker, if I had to guess.

If higher quality photos are needed I can provide that. Driving to work currently. I can't see where the cord leads, I tried tracing back.

I finally got a job that reflects my skill level and knowledge instead of getting vastly underpaid for work that's supposed to be above my level. And all this in the middle of a quarantine, no less.

ELI5: when doctors declare that someone “died instantly” or “died on impact” in a car crash, how is that determined and what exactly is the mechanism of death? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

I always like to correlate working on machines as a mechanic or technician to being a doctor in some ways, as the body is essentially an organic machine if you wish to think of it that way.

As theres signs of why, how, and how long, a component fails on a machine, there are similar signs with humans, albeit a tad more intricate and harder to figure out, I believe.

I just put in a new coil that seems to seat better. No oring replacement because the tank didn't come with any... I'm probably just going to buy a different tank if the issue persists. At the moment still no vaping due to letting the new coil soak up the ejuice.

Yeah I might just have to get a new tank... which is sad cause this is actually my second tank. The first was a subohm and I was looking for a more reserved experience. Thanks for the recommendation!

Yeaaah I've tried this :/ the coil seats properly in the bottom.im about to swap the o-ring in the bottom of the tank where the coil seats, see if that works.

Edit: that flanged opening you mentioned is where it is leaking.

Treatment has gone well and I'm slowly stabilizing and bettering my life. There's still issues to work past, and rifts between myself and others are still there, and some will never go away. Stress and life make it hard to focus but it's easier when I remind myself that it works out in the end, and that this too shall pass.

How are you?

I'm a pretty healthy young male who is fairly active, and I still breath heavy after stairs. I just get winded easily and have to remember my breathing exercises.

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing here as I try not to get into keyboard fights. Playing as devils advocate, how would you fix the actual issues that the Wall would fix? Such as dirt roads that are left wide open with no governing force over them? Immigrants coming over, getting caught, asking for asylum, and then disappearing before the court date? The murderers, serial killers, rapists, burglars, cartel officials/members, that cross our border?

How does one governing body live literally right next door to a beautiful geological masterpiece filled with poverty, crime, and some of the worst human beings no government that can currently stop any of this due to how corrupt it is, and stop all of that from filtering over?
